NO REPORT FROM DEWEY
The Government Awaits the Command OF
the Heroic Conqueror of
Manila.

Washington, May 4.-Yesterday passed
without a single word from the Ameri-
can fleet in the Philippines, and in
view of the long continued Interruption
In cable communication the officials
are beginning to resign themselves to

their official news until a boat arrives

sarily be a naval vessel, for it Is not
believed that Commodore Dewey, who
will be admiral as soon as he can be
reached by cable, could have spared
any Of his ships.
If Admiral Dewey wants troops he
will be sent as many as he needs d.
rectly from San Francisco, and II Is
very likely that state volunteers will
make up the quota. The cabinet is
only waiting to hear what Commodore
Dewey wants. Meanwhile the plans of
the Cupan campaign are being steadily
developed, and there is no indication OF
a change OF purpose on the part of the
military authorities, who are expected
to land an expeditionary force in Cuba
In very short time.

Findlay, o., May 4.-Probably the
most jubiant people in the United
States today are the citizens of the vii
lage of Deweyvlle, Is miles northeast
Ct here. This town was located by
and named after Commodore George
Dewey when he was young man and
was interested for a short time in To-
eating stave factories in this section
for the firm of Dewey Palmer & Co.,
of New York, the senior member Of
which. II Is said. was an uncle of the
hero of Manila. The people have been
in a constant state of jublation since
Monday, and yesterday raised an I'M
mense flag and cOmmcdore's pennant
to commemorate the event, the whole
surrounding country participating.

ton was received with loud COnserya-

ton was received with loud Conserva-
tive protests.
Senor Sagasta made determined re-
ply, which was loudly applauded by a
large majority of the chamber. He
deplored the fact that the Spaniards
were not united ''in the present circum-
stances VIXEN the country Is involved
IN a war forced upon it, If it were
ever criminal to attack the fatherand,
he said, it was surely more so now.
The Republicans and Carlists greeted
SenOr Sagasta with angry denuncia-
tons, shaking their fists and giving
other marks of disapproval while the
Republicans and Monarchsts exchang-
ed hot recriminations. But the debate
itself fell short Of expectations, Senor
Sagasta's reserving the desired ex-
plantations deprving it Of interest.
The heads Of all political sections
promised not to oppose any measures
the government required to conduct
the war The chief interest attached
to the speech Of Senior Jose Canalejas,
who declared that he belonged to no
political party and could speak with
entire independence. The editor of IIl
Heraldo severely criticised the uIlpre-
paredness of the government He said
he considered it preferable to give
Cuba independence to engaging in
foreign war without proper prepara-
tiOns.
In the mob Monday night were many
officers in mufti, who were foremost in
melting the people to attack the min
isters' residences and were loudest in
calling for cheers for Wcyler. There
is no doubt these men desired to pro-
woke the government into firing upon
the mob. and so to pave the way for its
downfall. Some of them were arrested
but were subsequently released, the
government fearing to let it become
known that officers Of the army form
I'd part Of the mob.
While the streets were thus occupied
great unrest was manifested at the
various barracks, and the soldiers were
only prevented from joining the mob
by the personal pleadings Of the
officers.
The republicans were even more busy
than the officers in egging on the crowd
and shouting Down with the Queen
Regent. More than once they led the
mob towards the royal palace, but
each time the police drove them back.

Our Peerless Marl,Smen,

Fort Monroe, Va. May 4.-The inter-
est and enthusiasm over the victory of
Commodore Dewey in the Philippine
Islands continues. 1t was source of
congratulation, based on the meager
details received, that the American
gunners had proved their superiority,
and it is confidently expected they will
win every naval battle of the war. 1t
may have been because of this self
congratulation that the ships of the
squadron at gun practice yesterday
showed phenomenal skill in hitting the
small, bobbing targets. A noteworthy
feature of the shooting was that every
man at the guns acted as sighting
gunner, and this in no way deteriorated
from the splendid craftsmanship

with General Gomez.
Tampa, Fla, May 1T is now almost
certain that Brigadier General j. F.
Wade will have cover command Of
United States troops in the field in
Cuba. Both Generals Wade and Shaf-
ter will. 1t is said, accompany the ex-
pedition when 1t sails, but the latter,
although having command with head
quarters, as he is ranking general, will
not direct the movement of the troops
In the field. Arrangements for the en-
barkation Of the troops are being push,
ed with the utmost vigor. The Florida
and Olivette are being put in shape
for the reception of the soldiers, and
the Mascotte. which came in yesterday,
will be taken In hand today and pre-
pared for service as a transport.
Nearly every regiment in camp had d
rigid inspection today, and instructions
were given to have everything In shape
for breaking camp on short notice.
The entire Twenty-second regiment of
infantry was vaccinated yesterday. 1t
is hardly possible that the United
States forces will be actually en- route
for Cuba before the first of next week.
The enlistment of Cubans for the
regiments which are being formed
here is assming large proportions.
Yesterday there were over 500 applica-
tions for service, most of which will
be accepted, and work in several of the
big tobacco factories was practically at
a stand still. Besides the native Gu
bans. many young Americans are en-
listing for service under Gomez.
