most make a direct steamer line to

The Second Regiment arrived tonight

came.
No definite orders have been issued
as to the Third Regiment, but the rail
road people are expecting to move them
on Monday.
1t is said tonight that the three regi-

Tennessee Crops.

The United States Department of
Agriculture, in review of crops and
crop conditions in Tennessee for the
week ending Monday, April 25, says:
''The wet weather of the early part of
the week greatly hindered farming op-
erations, but the following two or three
days of more favorable conditions en-
abled farmers to push forward the work
of planting, and large proportion OF
the area intended for corn and cotton
was planted. About the middle of the
week a cool wave resulting in light
frosts prevailed, but no damage is re-
ported. Reports of the wheat crop are
very encouraging except from few
counties in the middle section, where
hundreds of acres are reported practi-
cally ruined by the fly. Other growing
crops are reported in fine condition.
Tobacco plants are healthy and plenti-
full. Fruit prospects are better than
expected. Late strawberries promise
fair field.

There was long conference on board
the flagship New York, Sunday, be-
tween Real Admiral Sampson, Capt.
Evans of the Iowa, Capt. Taylor of the
Indiana and Capt. Chadwick of the
New York, the purpose of which could
not be ascertained.
Early Sunday morning the New York
steamed to the westward past Havana
which was in plain view from the yes
sci, and picked up the Indiana and
then the Iowa, taking the commanders
of both ships aboard. Tugs were then
sent out, calling in all other vessels of
the fleet in that vicinity, and at noon
the following ships were lying off
the batteries, west of Havana,
and within eight miles of the shore:
The flagship New York, the battle
ships Iowa and Indiana, the cruisers
Detroit and Marblehead. the gunbOatS
Castine, Mayfiower, Hornet and Man

and Tecumseh. There were also four
newspaper dispatch boats in close prox-
unity, all the vessels being within
a radius of l 900 yards, and plainly Wis
ible from the shore. There was every
indication that concerted movement
of some kind was in contemplation.
and those on the flagship, who were
ignorant of the object of the con-

recent bombar dment of the Span
ish batteries at Matanzas and the
firing upon troop of Spanish cavalry
at Cabanas were to be repeated upon
the formidable batteries near Havana.

Brilliant achievement.
ANXIETY TO SECURE LATER DETAILS.
The Belief Prevails That the Full Extent of
the Victory VIII Become More Apparent
When the American Side of the Story of
the Battle Can be Transmitted Through
Unbiased Cfrannels.

WASHINGTON, May Joy beamed on
every countenance at the navy depart
ment and the officials exchanged en-
thusiastic congratulations on Commo-
dore Dewey's vic tory as they entered
the department to take up their daily
tasks. Many of the officers were
tired and worn to the verge
of nervous prostration by the
exhausting labors of the last few
weeks, but all fatigue was forgotten
for the moment as they stopped to talk
about the battle of Manila. There was
anxious inquiry from all sources for
some kind of news of the details of the
fight. 1t was realized by the
officials that nothing can be
expected directly from Commodore
Dewey in the usual course for at least
two days more. There is, however, a
possibility, which is magnified by ex-
pectant minds here into probability,
that some information, at least more re-
liable and freer from color than that
which comes from Madrid, may be
forthcoming through the British for
eign Office.

Dor w:ss.z=s spending some time in
cautious exploration and countermin-
ing.
Manila has a population of 100000
people so that probably would be very
difficult for Commodore Dewey to spare
enough men from his fleet to maintain
possession of the town unless he can
arrange to secure the support of the
insurgents, with whom he is under
stood to be in communication. No mat
ter what happens, it is not expected that
Commodore Dewey will lombard the
town Immediately, if at all, for it is
said at the state department that eN-
cept in great emergency he win fol-
low the dictates of international law
and give notice of from ~ to IS hours
his intention to begin bombardment
in order that non-combatants may re-
tire from danger. The large English
and German interests in Manila, it is
thought, will weigh with the commo-
dOre, and cause him to give the notice
commonly communicated prior to the
bOmbardment.
While filled with qualification that
he made no attempt to conceal Secre-
tary Long received the detailed in
formation of the engagement of Sun
day very coolly. Without showing the
least disposition to detract from the
glory that had been won by Dewey
and his captains, the secretary natur-
ally felt that no small share of the
victory should he charged to the di-
recting forces in the department viii ch

the plans for Dewey's campaign.
After speaking in the terms of the
highest commendation of the cOmmo-
dOre's work, Secretary Long said: The
American fleet has come up to what
was expected of it. Its success shows
that it was not rash undertaking of
the department to send the
ships to Manila under such COM
mand as Dewey's with his
captains aai with his men. His ships,

to it to the diplomatic and consular

that if the opportunity Of

communicate promptly the facts to his

BILE that he has been requested by Com
modore Dewey to see to it that a brief
and fair statement of the facts are
transmitted to the United States gov

The conviction is growing in the state
and navy department that the accounts
which have been received so far of the
engagements greatly minimize the

even those from Spanish sources,
seem to warrant an assumption that
Commodore Dewey has succeeded com
pletely in his undertaking, and has &C
complished every thing that was ex-
pected of him and included in
his orders. 1t is noticed that
in one sentence the report
speaks o. the commodore's landing
his wo nd |. This is regarded as
very sis -.Icant statement. 1t is not
supposed for an instant that the COM
modore abandoned his wounded to the
enemy, and the only sane in
ference that can be drawn is
that he placed them in prop
er shelter on shore under
guard the United States fleet, and is
prepared to protect the landing place
with the guns of the fleet. Thus it ap-
pears that Commodore Dewey has
crushed the Spanish fleet, the prime
object of his expedition, and
has relieved American COM
merce IL the Pacific from the
dread of capture, while, in addition,
he has placed his feet 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.

A Killer Arrested.

Henry Ballard, the man who shot and
killed Doss Prince recently near Cam
den, was captured last week and lodged
in jail The difficulty which led to the
killing grew out of the fact that Prince
had been turning his hogs in the field
where Ballard's residence was, and as
they were tenants both on the same
farm each claimed rights and privileges
that the other thought he didn't have,
and also there was bad blood between
them of old standing. Prince had a
double-barrel shotgun in his hands
when he was shot by Ballard.

What He Couldn't Deny.

has been completely demolished. lie
adds that the crew of the Spanish war
ship MindanOa has been saved.
The publication of the Liberals dis
patch from Manila removed the last
hope of the Spaniards, and it is now
admitted on all sides that the Spanish
fleet has been completely destroyed,
and that it is probably only a question
of hours as to when the Americans
will occupy Manila.
The fact that the Liberal, which is
Premier Sagasta's organ, admitted the
complete defeat of the Spaniards, gives
additional significance to the frank an
nOuncenent.
