"A demonstration by the fleet off the
coast of Cuba is hardly expected to-day,
but it Is understood a movement has been
planned.
A bowling gale is now blowing and the
sea is running high.
Early yesterday morning the New York
steamed to the westward, past Havana,
which was in plain view of the vessel, and
picked up the Indiana and then the Iowa,
taking the commanders of both ships
aboard
Tugs were then sent out calling In all
the other vessels of the fleet In that vi
cinity, and at noon the following ships
were lying off the batteries Of Havana
and within eight miles of the shore: The
flagship New York, the battleships Iowa
and Indiana, cruisers Detroit and Marble
head, gunboats Castine, Mayfiower, Hor-
net and Mangrove. and tugs Osceola,
Wampatock and Tecumseh.
There were also four newspaper dis
patch boats in close proximity, all the Yes~
sells being within a radius of 600 yards
and plainly visible from the shore.
There was every indication that con-
oerted movement OF some kind was IN con-
temptation and those on the flagship VINO
were ignorant Of the object OF the confer
ence confidently expected that the recent
bombardment OF the Spanish batteries at
Matanzas, and the firing upon troop OF
Spanish cavalry at Cabanas were to De re-
peated upon the more formidable batteries
near Havana.
The weather conditions, however, were
ANYTHING but favorable for an attack, for
a 4o-knot gale was blowing, and the waves
were tremendous. Even the big battieships
were unsteady, the smaller vessels being
tossed about like shells.
After the ships had remained an this POSI-
ton for several hours it became evident
that no immediate movement was contem-
plated.
The flagship finally drew away from inc

morning from Manila, via Madrid an
nouncing that the destruction of the Span

plete, and Admiral Dewey has established
a blockade of the port of Manila.
The navy department is aware that Ad-
miral Dewey has coal supply Of $500
tons, in addition to what Is aboard the
ships of the feet. Fearing that the block
ade may last longer than is now expected,
the department this morning ordered col

fleet In view of existing conditions, there
is a general feeling of regret among naval
officers that Hawaii Is not under the Ju-
risdietion of the United States.
Senator Lodge, while at the navy depart
ment to-day, expressed his profound re-
eret that the Senate has neglected to an

-Four flags were displayed to-day for the
first fine in many months from the staffs
of the state, war and navy department
buildings, and on the east front of the
huge garrison flag fioated, all IN honor of
the victory of the American fleet at Ma
Mia yesterday.
The war department is bending ell its en-
ergy to the mastering in of the volunteers,
and the recruiting of the regular army to
its full war strength of 61,0OO men, This
work is well under way and the officials
feel confident that within a reasonable
time both the militia and the regulars will
be ready for practical military duty
In a few days all the troops that have
been ordered to Tampa are expected TO
reach that place and the eight large trans-
ports which are to conduct the first eXpedi-
tion to Cuba have been ordered to proceed
to Tampa The officials, however, decline
to make public any information regarding
the expedition, or the place in Cuba where
1t is to land
The quartermaster's department has
been negotiating with railroad companies
for the transportation of volunteers to
their mobillzing points.
The late reports that Manila was being
bombarded caused much uneasiness at the
foreign headquarters. It was said that
If the town itself was under bombardment
serious complications might arise, and
non-combatants and the foreign colonies,
1t is held, should have been entitled to at
least twenty-four hours notice of an at
tack upon the town proper If, however.
Commodore Dewey is confining his bonn
bardment TO Cavfte and other forts no
such question can arise.
The Spanish reverses at Manila seri-
ously depletes the Spanish navy at time
when it is most in need of ships With the
burning of the two cruisers, Reina Chris
tina and Castillo, Spain has lost two of
her best second rate cruisers.
Aside from the crippling of the Span
ish naval strength the burning and the
blowing up of the ships specified, entails
an actual money loss running into the
millions.

London, May 3.-Commodore Dewey, ac-

to comply with an ultimatum, which de-
manded all warlike stores and the entire
stock of coal in charge of the government
officials.
The ultimatum asserted that no money
levy would be made upon Manila.

sPANIARDs TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
Their Forts Not Completed and the
Harbor Not Mined.

HarOOr NOT MlHcUs
London, May 8, 5 a. NIT is believed
that Admiral Montojo was taken alto
gether by surprise and that the Spanish
authorities generally were in a state of
utter unreadiness.
The forts were not completed. the har-
Dor was not mined, there were no search
lights and the American squadron was
only. sighted after 1t had already passed
the outer and principal forts.
On every side in England is heard praise
Of the skill and daring displayed by Com
modore Dewey in a situation where, IL
anything had miscarried, he would have
been caught in most desperate position.
At the same time credit is given Ad-
miral Montojo, who had a wretched fleet
and stood no chance except from the as
sistance he might receive from the forts.
The moral influence of the first great
victory Is incalcuable, and though it is
practically certain that Spain will not
yield until she has tried conclusions in
the Atlantic, and also. where she hopes for
better luck, with her really first-class
fighting squadron, 1t Is believed a similar
victory in Cuban waters would produce
signs Of revolution in Spain compelling an
endeaVor to come to terms

Comply With the Demand.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.
London. May 2.-The details of the bat
tie of Manila have been received at the
British colonial Office. They came in two
cable messages, received yesterday even
ing. the substance of which was furnished
TO the Associated Press by the officials of
the colonial Office to-day.
The first dispatch announced that the
United States fleet entered Manila harbor
at daybreak yesterday. stationing itself
opposite the city. A fort opened fire on
the American ships. whereupon they shift
ed their position to one near Cavite, in Ma
Mia bay, engaging in fierce fight against
both the forts and Spanish fleet.
The engagement lasted two hours and
resulted in the annihilaton of the Span
ish fleet.
This dispatch adds that the American.
ships withdrew to their magazine vessel
in the center of the roadstead for the
purpose of coaling.
One American vessel, the name of which
is not mentioned, is said to have been dis
abled
Commodore Dewey reques ted the British
consul, r. II, Rawson- Walker, to convey
a message to the Spanish governor general
demanding the surrender of all torpedoes
and guns at Manila and the possession Of
the cable offices, saying that unless these
terms were complied with he would pro-
ceed to lombard the city.
The first OF the cable messages end with
the statement that the Spanish officials
Were comforting with the British consul
ana the telegraph companys agent and
that pending decision being arrived at
the cables were not permitted to handle
messages.
Inc second dispatch received by the CO.
Ionlal oHiee announced that the Spanish
governor general had refused to surrender
the torpedoes, guns and cable offices, and
tnat he had prevented the agent of the
telegraph company from comforting with
Commodore Dewey.
The message ended with the statement
that the British government of the Straits
settlement expected that the bombardment
or Manila would be begun on Monday
morning, when the Spaniards would cut
the cables.
The first of these cable messages was re-
ceived at 9 o'clocke yesterday evening. and
the second at midnight. They have not
yet been given to the newspapers. here.
NO other messages on the subject have
been received in London although the for
eign Office has expected news from the
British consul at Manila
Therefore ii is supposed that the expec-
tations of the governor of the Straits Set
tlement has been fulfilled, and the Span
iards have cut the cable.
