NEWS OF SAMPSON IS SLOW


Port Au Prince Hayti May 10.-The mir
lister Of, the interior has received a dis
patch from 1Iolt St. Nicholas saying two
American warships are there and that a
Spanish vessel is watching outside. The
announcements are not fully credited.
A dispatch from the Mole st. Nicholas
received later in the days says no war
ships have entered the harbor since hos
tilHies brokeout.
Washington, May 1G--The cabinet meet
in gtoday was shorter than usual and the
business transacted was not Of an i'm
porcant character. Although the govern
ment has a number Of swift vessels on the
Atlantic doing duty, no reports had been
received up to noon as to the whereabouts
Of the Spanish fleet an don this point the
officials were quite as much in the dark
as outsiders.
Up to the time Secretary Long started
for the cabinet meeting at II o'clock to-
day, he was without Information from Ad-
rniral SIMPSONS feet concerning any ac-

that the next few hours would determine
beyond further question whether the Span
ish fleet, which left the Cape Verde Isl
ands. did in fact, come to Porto Rico. or
diverge northward toward Cadiz for for
midable concentration of the strongest
ships OF the Spanish navy. In the latter
event Admiral Sampson would have no
Spanish feet to fight, save those smaller
craft in Cuban waters. 1t would leave the
course open for the Oregon to make a
junction with the squadron and also
would leave Admiral SIMPSONS hands
free for attention 70 PORTO Rico or Cuba

PROMOTION FOR DEWEY.

The announcement which comes from Wash
ington that Secretary Long, with the fun APP
prova of the President. will recommend TO Con-
gress the revival Of the grade Of Admiral OF
the Navy In order that Rear-Admiral Dewey
NAV be promoted to that rank will give univer-
sal satisfaction.
From the moment when the country learned
of his stupendous victory it has been hoped and
expected that this token Of gratitude and appre-
citation would be bestowed upon the commander
of the Asiatic Squadron. and with every fresh
proof Of the great qualities which he possesses
the popular desire for his further promotion
has grown stronger 1t Is natural and just that
Il should be so Admiral Dewey's services have
been extraordinary in respect to their variety as
well rs their magnitude. First of all, he put
the American Navy to a test which was needed
10 confirm the confidence Of officers and men In
its capacity They believed that persistent
training had done its proper work. that fine
and high spirit pcrvadcd the service and that
ships and personnel would be found equal and
Jcore than equal. to any probable emergency.
But they could not be absolutely sure Of this
without n practical ordeal 1t fell to Admiral
Dewey to furnish the demonstration, and there
after nobody was in doubt. Because he was
dealing with unknown forces his performance
of enormous value, and he is indisputably
entitled to the distinction which 1t gave him.
But possibly even greater. certainly more re-
nlnrkablo. are the services which he rendered
during the long months OF his lonely vigil In
Manila Bay. These stamp him as being of
larger mould than great captains usually are or
need TO be east I'm. In public and. we believe,
In professional opinion they put him in the ciass
with Farragut. and with the grade created for
Farragut revived for him the country will not
deem him too well rewarded.
