SAN JUAN DE PoRTo Rico, Sept. 19.--
The preparations for the embarkation
of the Spanish troops are reported to be
complete, although the American COM
missioners have not been officially ad-
vised to that effect.
Two ships of the company Trans.
atlantica are expected to arrive here on
the goth inst. Five vessels will be re-
quired to transport all the troops with
their luggage and the field artillery and
equipments. The Porto Rican troops
are to be landed near Cadiz.
The United States commissioners
have agreed that suoh troops as desire
to remain here may do so, and prac-
tioally all the volunteers and somo of
the regulars, whose families ana inter.
ests are here, will remain. If the neces-
sary ships were here the island would
be evacuated and in our possession
within three days.
The American commissioners are
highly gratified with the spirit shown
by the Spaniards. The unexpected has
happened. Where it was expected that
opposition and delay would be encoun.
tered none has been found. In good
faith the Spanish commissioners have
met the Americans and arranged with
them the terms of evacuation. Our COM
missioners expect to see the American
flag hoisted and the Spanish flag hauled
down forever within three weeks.
HAVANA, Sept. l0.-It was under
stood yesterday that it is proposed to
start the evacuation of Spanish troops
from east to west, embarking the troops
at the ports of Gibara, Nuevitas, Glen

The official statement of the number
of Spanish soldiers in the islands is.said
to place the aggregate at 100000, and it
is understood that it is proposed that
the men shall crrry with them their

DETAILS OF THE BATTLE.
It Resulted in the AnnihiIation of
the Spanish Fleet.

LONDON, May 2-(Copyrighted.
1898, by the Associated Press. 1.-THE de-
tails of the battle of Manila have been
received at the British Colonial Office.
They came in two cable messages re-
ceived yesterday evening the substance
of which has been furnished to the As
sociated Press by the officials of the
Colonial Office to-day
The first cable message announces
that the American fleet entered Manila

BRITISH SYMPATHY.
A Majority of the People With the
United States.

LONDON, May 2-The question as
to whether British sympathy is really
with America is still agitating those
who are chiefly interested in establish
ing a good understanding between the
two nations Alfred Harmsworth, who,
personally and through his paper, has
been doing the most efficient work in
this direction, is convinced that a large
majority of the people of the United
Kingdom are unreservedly in sympathy
with the United States. He bases his
conviction on a careful canvass of the
country. which he has just had COM
pIeted. 1t shows that Scotland is prac-
tically solid for America and that Ire
land. except in the north is hostile to
America. OF the merchants, shippers
and business men generally, 30 per
cent. are keenly American; 80 per cent.
are neutral, and 80 per cent are against
war anywhere.
The -Conformists are solidly pro-
American. while 30 per cent. of the Ro-
man Catholics are pro-Spanish in all
cases, according to the figures collected.
The British aristocracy, aside from
the Catholics, is evenly divided. while
the Jews are opposed to America
On the subject of Catholic opposition
to America the Daily Mali in an ar
ticle printed to-day says: ''It is largely
due to distinguished members of the
Catholic aristocracy and to the Catho-
lie prelacy of the United Kingdom and

JOY At NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Officials Exchange Congratulations
Over Dewey's Victory.


WASHINGTON, May 2-Joy beamed
on every countenance at the Navy De-
partment this morning, and the Off
cials exchanged enthusiastic congratu-
latiOnS on Commodore DeWey's victory
as they entered the department to take
up their daily tasks Many of the off,
GERS were on the verge Of nervous pros
tratiOn by the exhaustng labors of the
last few weeks, but all fatigue was
forgotten for the moment as they
stopped to talk of the battle of Manila
There was anxious inquiry from all
sources for details of the fight. 1t
was realized by the officials that moth
ing can be expected directly from Com
mOdOre Dewey in the usual course for
at least two days more There is how
ever, possibility, which is magnified
by expectant minds here into a prob
ability, that some information at least
more reliable and freer from color than
that which comes from Madrid may be
forthcoming through the British For
eign Office.
While the Spanish Government in the
case of an emergency might take abso-
lutte possession of the cable at Manila,
it is not customary to deny access to
it to the diplomatic and consular offl-
cials of neutral Governments The ca
| BILE dispatch that the British Consul
General at Manila had a conference af-
ter the conflict with Commodore Dewey
indicates clearly that he is at least in
possession of the American story of the
naval battle, and probably has been
made acquainted with the loss suffered
by the American ships. 1t is not doubt
ed that if the opportunity offers the
consular officer will communicate
promptly the fact to his home Govern
ment, and it is. just possible that he
has been requested by Commodore
Dewey to see to it that a brief and fair
statement Of the facts are transmitted
to the United States Government
The conviction is growing in the State
and Navy Departments that the ac-
counts which have been received SO
far of the agements greatly mini
mize the achievements of the American
fleet. A careful reading of the dis
patches, even those from Spanish
sources. seem to warrant an assump
tion that Commodore Dewey has sue
ceeded completely in his undertaking.
and has accomplished everything that
his orders 1t is noticed that in one
science the report speaks of the Com
nodore's landing his wounded. This
is regarded as a significant statement.
1t is not supposed for an instant that
the Admiral abandoned his wounded to
the enemy, and the only sane inference
that can be drawn is that he placed
them in proper shelter on shore under
a guard from the United States fleet,
which is prepared to protect the land
ing with the guns of the fleet.
Thus it appears that Commodore
Dewey has crushed the Spanish fleet,
the prime object of his expedition, and
has relieved American commerce in the
Pacific from the dread of capture, while
in addition he has placed his fleet on
Spanish soil, and holds position ashore
which may be developed into base Of
supplies for his fleet, which thus will
have found a legitimate home.

There were also four newspaper dis

vessels being within a radius of 1000
yards, and plainly visible from the
shore. There was every indication that
a concerted movement of some kind
was in contemplation, and those on the
flagship, with the object of conference,
confidently expected that the bombard-
tanzas and the firing upon troop of
Spanish cavalry at Cabanas We're to be
repeated upon the formidable batteries
near Havana. The weather conditions,
however, were anything but favorable
for an attack A forty-knot gale was
blowing, and the waves were tremen-
dous. Even the big battleships were
rocking, the smaller vessels being tossed
about like shells with every wave. But
after the ships had remained in this po-
sition for several hours it became evil
dent that no immediate action was
contemplated. The flagship finally
drew away from the others, and
steamed slowly past MORO Castle with
out incident. The remainder of the
fleet then opened out and returned to
their various stations along the coast.

United States and Spanish fleets at

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Nov Madrid COR
respondent of the Times" describing
the engagement at Manila, says:
The Olympia, Boston, Raleigh, Con-
cord, Petrol and Monacacy entered the
bay under cover of darkness by the
smaller and safer Bocachica channel.
The forts of Corregidor Island gave the
alarm by firing on the intruders, but
they seem to have inflicted no serious
damage The American squadron NOV
ed up the bay, and at 3 o'clock in the
morning appeared before Cavite. Here,
lying under the shelter of the forts,
was the Spanish squadron.
Admiral Montijo a few days before
went to Subic Bay to look for the enc

! superior in force, had prudently re-
| turned and placed his ships under the
protection of the forts. This was his
! only chance of meeting the enemy on
something like equal terms, and 1t did
not suffice.
| Soon the Americans opened fire. The
Spaniards replied vigorously, and the
combat continued without interruption
for four hours, during which the Don
Antonio de Ulloa was sunk, the Cas-
tikla and Mindanao were set on fire,
and the Reina Maria Christina and the
Don Juan de Austria were seriously
damaged One or two of the smaller
craft were scuttled by their crews to
escape capture. The others took refuge
in a small neighboring creek emptying
into Baker Bay, where, presumably, the
American ships were unable to follow
them. But none surrendered.

A SAD BUT GLORIOUS DAY.
MADRID, May 2-The newspapers of
this city, commenting upon the utter
defeat of the Spanish fleet at the battle
of Manila agree in saying that yes
terday was "a sad but glorious day for
Spain"
They urge the people to be calm and
allow nothing to shake their confidence
in the future welfare of the Spanish
armies.
The newspapers express determina-
ton to avenge the defeat Of the Spanish
fleet. The conduct Of the Spanish Ad-
miral in sinking the remnant of his fleet
in order to prevent its capture is highly
extolled by the oress.
The ''Imparcial' advises the Govern
ment to arm all the available shipping
and convert the vessels into an auxiliary
fleet for the purpose of capturing and
destroying American merchant vessels.
QUEENS SPIRIT NOT DAUNTED.
LONDON, May 2-The Spanish Cab
met, according to a special dispatch
from Madrid to the Evening News" +"
sat for four hours, and only discussed
the Manila disaster. The discussion, it
is added show that the Spanish Min
listers are now fully aroused and will ex-
haust their resources in defense of the
national honor.
After the Cabinet council the Madrid
dispatch to the Evening News" con-
inues: Mr. Correa the Minister of War,
and Admiral Bermejo, the Minister of
Marine, made a report to the Queen
Regent The latter, it appears, who
had already heard Of the reverse, was
afame with patriotic enthusiasm and
I declares that while the loss of so many
ships was a misfortune, there is sat
isfaction in the reflection that the
Spaniards had covered themselves with
honor" The Queen Regent is said to
have added: MY spirit can never be
daunted so long as / can rely on the
patriotism and courage of the Span
! iards.'
The absence of further details of the
Spanish fleet defeat is supposed, ac-
cording to the Spanish officials, to be
due to the preoccupation of Captain
General Augusta in defending Manila.

AT TAMPA.
A Force OF Seven Thousand Soldiers
Now at the Florida Rendezvous.

TAMPA Fla), May 2.-Eleven regi-
ments of infantry, one of cavalry and
ten light batteries of artillery are now
concentrated at Tampa and Port Tam
pa, making a force of about 1000 men.
All the troops recently ordered here
from Mobile, New Orleans and Chicka-
mauga have not arrived. 1t is gener-
ally believed in Tampa that this force
will be augmented in the near future by
at least two regiments of cavalry from
Chickmauga beside the artillery The
troops now here are the First, Fourth,
Seventh, Sixth, Ninth, Tenth, Thir-
teenth. Seventeenth, Twenty-first,
Twenty-second and Twenty fourth In
fantry and the Ninth Cavalry.
The Plant system to-day notified the
Government that the steamers Olivette
and Florida were at it's service for use
as transport ships, and the Marietta
also will be rendered at once. The three
boats have a capacity of 1900 men.
Two recruiting offices were opened
in Tampa to-day for the enlistment of
Cubans for Gomez's army. The speci-
fcations allow only unmarried men to
enlist. 1t is believed 700 will respond to
the call.
Two hundred native Cubans, who
have been quietly enlisted in New
York by General Julio Sanguilly, ar
rived here tonight. They will be
formed into a cavalry regiment, and
under the leadership of the famous Gu
ban who enlisted them, will probably
embark for Cuba with the American
troops. The rest of the regiment will
be made up of Cubans from Tampa
and vicinity.
Slowly, but surely, arrangements are
being made for the landing of an Amer
