duty manly, proudly, never Sinking

Washington. May 9.-At to-day's spe.

to be taken to reinforce Admiral Dewey
at Manila and the probable movement

been no material change in the plans.

In his cablegram Saturday the admir-
al made no request for troops not
knowing the governments intent in re-

IL seems quite certain, however that
the government intends to make an ac-
tive compaign against the Spanish
forces there, and Admiral Dewey will
be soon informed. 1t is probable that
