TAMPA, Fla, May S.-Captain j. III. Mi
ley, senior aid to Major General Shafter,
left Tampa very quietly last night for
Washington, and tomorrow will report to
General Miles. Captain Miley's visit TO
Washington has an important bearing on
the future course of events here, as it is
said, on good authority, he bears with him
the report of Captain j. II. Dorst, as to the
results of the latters meeting last week
with General Degado, OF the Cuban insur-
gents near Havana. Captain Miley also
has Lieutenant Colonel Lawton's report on<
his meeting at Key West Friday with 0fa~
GERS of the American blockading squadron
Major General Skaters recommendations
as to the plan of campaign in the cor1tern-
plated Cuban invasion and plans OF Lieut..
Colonel Ludlow, chief of engineers, regard
ing fortifications etc, at the point OF land
ing in Cuba Captain Miley will return to
Tampa Immediately after his mission is ac-
complished.
The work of preparing the transports has
been delayed a good deal by the nonarrival
of material. and it will be Wednesday, per-
haps later in the week, before this work
is accomplished. But outside of the delayed
preparations no American troops will be
landed on Cuban soil until the question of
Admiral Simpsons squadron and the Span
ish fleet, and settled decisively. High army
officials make this statement. They say it
would be taking needless chances to send
an army into Cuba before the Spanish feet
is disposed of and until the meeting OF the
American and Spanish fleets takes place no
one here believes that orders to move will
be received.
Services were held at both the Tampa and
Port Tampa grounds to-day by the regimen
tai chaplains. There was drilling, and
thousands of soldiers attended the services.
The sermons in every case were Of an inter-
esting, patriotic character.
Reports Of the breaking out Of yellow
fever at Key West among the prize crew
of the Argonauta have caused some uneas-
mess among tho soldiers here, probably in
view of the fact that two companies Of the
Twenty-fifth Regiment arrived from Key
West yesterday and are now in camp here.
Should these reports prove true, it is very
probable that rigid quarantine will be es-
tablished.

THE MANILA BATTLE.
Dewey Narrowly Escaped Being
NIONn I'D by the Mines.

Copyright, 1898. by the Associated Press)
HONG-KONG, May S.-Among naval men,
military men and civilians, Europeans and
natives here to-day there is only one sub
iect of discussion, the brilliant, dashng,
annihilating victory Of the American fleet
under Commodore Dewey over the Spanish
fleet commanded by Admiral Monteio in
Manila bay on Sunday last.
Owing to the fact that the cable between
this port and the Philippine islands was not
in working order, having been cut, it is said,
some distance from the capital of the ISL
and there has been delay in obtaining u
detailed account of the battle, and facts in
the case were only available when the
United States gunboat Hugh McCulloch ar
rived here yesterday, and even then the
tremendous pressure of business suddenly
thrown on the cable company necessarily
made the earlier accounts somewhat brief.
Commodore Deweys orders were TO cap
ture or destroy the Spanish fleet and never
were instructions executed in 50 complete a
fashion. At the end of seven hours there
was absolutely nothing left of the Spanish
fleet but few relics. The American COM
mander had most skilfuay arranged every

THE CAB1kETN CRISIS.
Senior GamazO Now Coming to the
Front i'm Spain.


MADRID, May $40 p. m.-According to
the newspapers a Cabinet crisis, provoked
by Admiral Bermejo, minister of marine. is
imminent involving the whole Cabinet. If
charged to reconstruct the Ministry it is
believed that Senior Sagasta would offer a
portfolio to Senior Gamazo, who represents
a very important section of the Liberals.
The newspapers and political circles this
morning openly discuss the Spanish Cabi-
net crisis, and it is expected that some
definite decision will be arrived at during
the Cabinet council which is to be held to-
day.
Opinions are divided respecting the solu-
ton. but the friends of Senor Damaza and
others think the time has arrived for the
formation of a strong military Cabinet.
This may turn out to be correct On the
other hand the most able of the Liberal and
Conservative of the statesmen consider such
action to be premature.
The real reasons for the supposed desire
of the present Cabinet to resign are, it is
understood, that Senor Moret, the minister
for the colonies, in his second speech, asked
the Cortes to aid and sanction the executive
solution of the present problems. But Senior
Silvea destroyed the hopes of the Sagasta
Ministry that the Cortes might be con-
verted into a convention to screen them
selves from responsibility Besides, Senior
Silvea affirmed that the granting of auton-
omy to Cuba had virtually lost Cuba to
Spain.
Senor Canalaejas also said that he con-
sidered Senor Morets colonial and foreign
policy to be fatal to Spain.
This attitude of the leading authors of
the Chamber has SO discouraged the Min
istry, still smarting under recent disasters
and struggling with the appalling provincial
problems, it is impossible to stave off the
crisis, even by the most earnest appeals
to the leaders of all parties for support.
The upshot of the Cabinet council held
to-day is understood to be that there will
be no change in the Ministry for the pres
ent, and that the Cabinet has resolved to
"energetically push the campaign, espe-
cially in the Philippine islands, Premier
Sagasta is now comforting with the Queen
Regent, who summoned him to her pres
ence.
In the Cortes all the measures pending
solution will, it is said, be rapidly voted,
thus leaving the government full hand to
cope with national problems.

LUCIANO, Switzerland, May s. - 1t has
been a terrible day at Milan. About 1
o'clock this afternoon a veritable battle oc-
CURED in the Via Somtraire. Thousands Of
tiles and chimneys were hurled from the
roofs upon the troops who were compelled
to retire A similar fight took place in the
Via Torino, and it is believed no fewer than
800 were killed and 1000 injured. A Swiss
merchant who has arrived here from Milan
describes the events of Saturday as COM
pletely anarchistical. According to his ac-
count the leaders of the agitation evidently
had well-arranged plans Columns Of riot
ers emerged from all the gates OF the town
and converged on a center, where they rap
idly constructed barricades. When they
were dislodged by the troops they mounted
to the roofs and rained tiles and chimneys
down upon the soldiery.
The gates of the town were held by the
troops in the evening and throughout the
night, so that workmen employed outside
were unable to return to their homes. In
this way the rising was deprived of addi-
tional help from without. During the night
the city was in complete darkness and
funereal silence. Artillery, cavalry and in
fantry bivouacked on the Piazza del Duama.
where reinforcement was constantly arriv-
ing.
Late news this evening from Milan says
the Secolo has been seized and its editor
arrested The postal telegraph offices have
been closed and all dispatches of mails
stopped. The public buildings are guarded
and artillery has been placed in position on
the Piazza del Duoma. Many fug gtives
from Milan have crossed the frontier into

troops are quartered in the city.

If necessary, upon the Spaniards accepting
at least a temporary protectorate of the
United States, the desire being, it is alleged
