 Washington, May 6.
 Besides the war situation in it's gen. eral aspect, there was some discussion at the Cabinet meeting to-day of the relative merits of the persons seeking brigadier- generalships and other com missions in the army. The President expressed himself very pronouncedly as opposed to the appointment to such responsible positions of those who have had no military experience.
 One feature of the session was dis cussion of the attitude of the Senate in providing the "sinews of war" for de- fraying the expenditures of the war. The President has received positive infor- mation that the Senate Committee on Finance, which is still struggling with the war revenue bill, will report that measure with the bond feature elimin- ated This fact is causing the adminis- tration much uneasiness and embar- rassment, and the statement is made that the possibility of adverse action of the full body of the Senate is a source of much anxiety. The President laid

THE TEMERARI0 HAS
 ARRIVED AT MONTEVIDEO
Spanish Residents of That City Give the Dynamite Gun Vessel an
 Enthusiastic Reception

Copyrighted, 1898, by James Gordon Bennett.
 BUENOS AIRES, May 6.-The Her. aid correspondent in Montevideo, Uru- quay, sends word that the Spanish torpedo gunboat Temerario has arrived there. When she reached port the Spanish residents of the city gave her an enthusiastic reception. Word comes from the Herald's correspondent in Rio Janeiro, Brazil that after a conference with the President the Minister of the Navy sent orders to the authorities of northern states to prevent any viola tion of Brazilian neutrality in case of an encounter between American and Spanish vessels in Brazilian waters.

transmit to Washington all dispatches which he might forward by cable or dispatch boat. According to the ad- vices of the State Department Consul Wildman has had nothing authoritative from the American officer, and for the purpose of definitely settling the situa- ton and relieving anxiety tits understood he has sent vessel to Manila to learn the exact condition of affairs, and upon its return will at once communicate with the department.
 Tn the meantime the authorities here have to content themselves with wait ing for the return of the steamer sent by the Consul or for the receipt of dis patch which Commodore Dewey may send at any moment to Hongkong for transmission to Washington. It is be- lieved in naval circles that the steamer sent by the Consul carried to Manila the cable instructions sent to Commodore Dewey few days ago by Secretary Long, which were exclusively an nounced in the Herald at the time.
 It is estimated by the officials that some information should have reached them from Manila by this time. The attack and destruction of the Spanish fleet occurred on Sunday morning, and the bonbardment of Manila occurred twenty-four hours later, in accordance with the terms of Commodore Dewey $ ultimatum. It was presumed that this bombardment was a matter of a com paratively short time, and was over by Monday night or Tuesday morning. The only Notifications then left to prevent the progress of a dispatch boat were those at the mouth of the harbor As Commodore Dewey found no difficulty in passing these Notifications on Sun day without discovery, 1t IS not believed in naval circles that a dispatch boat would have any difficulty in getting out. It is sixty hours run from Manila to Hongkong, so that information ought to have been received at the British port this morning
 T don't see any cause for anxiety, v ternoon. Commodore Dewey. mark my words, wants to do the thing in the style that he has selected He does not want to be bothered by instructions from Washington, because Washington does not know his position and he might be embarrassed by what is sent him from here He's all right. and when he thinks proper he will communi- cate with Secretary Long,.

Admiral Sampson Awaits the Report of Cruiser
 Scouts.
If the Spanish Warships Are Bound for Porto Rico They
 Will Be Intercepted.

NEW YORK, May 6.-The Herald's Washington correspondent sends the following: Rear-Admiral Sampson is now fully prepared to meet the Spanish fleet. Though no information has come from him, officials of the Navy Department are confident he has reached the sea where with the vessels under his command, he win await the reports from the auxiliary cruiser scouts, which will inform him of the To- cation and direction of the Spanish vessels.
 One of his scouts, the St. Paul, has been held back, and will not go to sea until tomorrow morning. She is to be more closely attached to the fighting squadron than her three sister ships, which have preceded her to sea. She carries a much heavier armament than some of the other scouts, and under command of Captain SigSbee, she will doubtless take hand in the expected battle, where her high speed would make her particularly effective in man. euvering and cutting out and destroy ing any of the torpedo-boat deStrOyerS of the enemy which might become sep arated from the armored ships
 It is still the general belief at the Navy Department that the Spanish fleet is bound for Porto Rico, though some officers are inclined to the belief that under cover of darkness on the first night out it may have turned northward to the Canary Islands or to Cadiz, to combine with the Cadiz fleet. or that it may have gone southward to the neighborhood of Cape St. Roque to lie in wait for the Oregon, Marietta and Nictheroy. AS time passes and no yes sel arriving at either Funchal, Gibral' tar or Lisbon reports having sighted the Spanish vessels, the theory that they have gone to the northward is weakened. Advocates of the theory that the Spanish admiral has sailed

his brave sailors. The executive off, cers of the department who are familiar with the cable service in all parts of the world are surprised that at Hong kong there is no definite news of Dew ey's fleet, for had the slowest vessel of his squadron left Manila Wednesday night, more than three days after the victory over the Spanish fleet, it's dis patches would have been placed on the wires several hours ago. Certain off, cialS who take a more cheerful view of the situation declare that Dewey's pro- gramme has not been understood at the department; that he is engaged in reducing the Notifications of the Phil- ippines in detail, and that until he has finished his work he will not only send no word to the department but will take no steps in looking to the restora- tion of cable communication, which would mean the opening up of a chan nel through which he might receive or ders from Washington that would prove most unwelcome in view of the status of affairs in the islands. Vete- ran naval officers declare Dewey should have free hand until his great task is completed, and are disposed to con- gratulate him on the opportunity to work untrammeled by the directions of superior officers.
 It is confidently believed that Ad- miral Sampson's fleet will take Porto Rico within the next forty-e eight hours; indeed, it would not be surprising to learn at any hour that San Juan had surrendered and that blue jackets were policing the old Spanish towns. The orders Sampson has received as to the assault upon Porto Rico leave much to his discretion, especially witt. reference to the important question as to the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet.
 Havana will not h- bombarded until the fleet has been located, and if found in Cuban waters not until it has been disposed of, but the situation with ref erence to Porto Rico is different. It's capture presents no strategic difficult ties nor peril to the attacking fleet, and at the same time it is highly important that it should be taken by our forces to prevent the Spanish squadron from using it as a military base. Hence Sampson may even now be demanding the surrender of San Juan, which lies at the mercy of the shotted guns of his formidable fleet.

OBJECT TO THEIR
 COMMANDING OFFICERS.

DENVER, May GA sensation was caused in military circles to-day when Companies A and of the First Regi- rnent of the National Guard voted not to enlist in the new consolidated regi- ment of volunteers because they object to the officers appointed by the Gover- nor to command them. Twenty of the seyenty-three members of Company A, which is from Denver, finally con- sented to enlist, but Company c, from Longmont, refusel in body. The chaplain of the regiment was mem Der of Company and will retire with fha o0nnanY.

southward to intercept the Oregon think it is quite probable he will take up a position in the neighborhood of Fernando Noronba, small island lying to the northeast of Cape St. RoQue and almost directly in the ordinary steamer track from Rio Janeiro to the North Atlantic Ocean.
 Captain Clark was informed by cable of all that was known here as to the movements of the Spanish fleet. He was given discretion as to the route by which he should come north, and, while nothing is known as to his intentions, it is thought he will go we'll to the eastward of Fernando Noronba so as to avoid the Spaniards if they should be waiting for him in that neighbor- hood.
 That the Spanish fleet has not gone to the CanarieS Is believed by naval officers here to be definitely proved by the Herald's cable stating that on May there were no Spanish warships at those islands It is only S76 miles from St. Vincent in Cape Verde to Las Pal mas in the CanarieS, and as the fleet sailed from St. Vincent on April 29, 1t would have arrived at Las Palmas long before May if that had been its des- tination. It is still possible, however. that the fleet may have gone to Cadiz, though this is thought to be improb- able The knowledge that there are no Spanish war vessels at the Canaries tends to strengthen the idea that the three torpedo boats which left St. Vtn- cent in company with the coal and SUD- ply vessel on the same day that the larger vessel of the Spanish fleet sailed. are now with that fleet. If this Is true it is important, as these small craft would greatly hamper the fleet in its progress across the Atlantic and would reduce it's speed considerably, thus giv- ing Admiral Sampson more time to make his preparations for the expected battle and making it more certain that the American scouts will fall in with the Spanish fleet.

CUBA FOR THE
 AMERICAN NEGROES.
Fl Pals Advances a New Theory as to Why Uncle Sam Wants the
 leland

Copyrighted, 1898, by James Gordon Bennett.
 HAVANA, May 6-El Pals this morning publishes a long article say ing that colored people are ill-treated in the United States, and that the Liberia republic was founded by Americans to get rid of the negro, and that the plan having failed, Cuban an- nexation, with laws favoring the im- migration of negroes from the South, is the idea which many American po- litical men entertain, rather than that of securing a market for American pro- ducts or a monopoly in Cuban tobacco. The Cuban people, it says, should bear this in mind in connection with the American statement that for the sake of American civilization all other pow CTS should concur in the action to pre- vent the plan of autonomy from being carried into effect.

HAS RETURNED TO
 SCHLEYS COMMAND.
Again the Crack Cruiser Minneapolis Is With the Vessels of the Fly
 ing Squadron.

NEW YORK, May GA Newport News (va.) special to the Herald says: Again the crack cruiser Minneapolis is under Commodore Schley's command. The Cape Henry Signal Station report ed her passing into Hampton Roads at half past 3 o'clock t.lis afternoon, and at o'clock she came to a full stop off Old Point, and Captain Jewell signaled Commodore Schley that it would be necessary for him to replenish his coal bunkers The Minneapolis was at once given permission to run up to Newport News for coal and by o'clock heavily loaded barges were alongside the cruis- CT transferring fuel to her bunkers. The cruiser will return to Old Point at day break.
 It is reported that the cruiser New Orleans, which was expected to arrive some time to-day, has entered Virginia Capes. and is waiting outside until morning to safely pass the submarine mines.

 Senator White said to The Call cor respondent tonight that there was no chance for the Hawaiian annexation resolution to pass the Senate. "It is merely a game of the Hawaiian sugar planters to bull their stock, which re- gently slumped," said he. Senator White added that the Senate would be ready to adjourn by June 1, and there would be no time to properly discuss Hawaiian annexation.
 The administration has nassed an- other day of anxious waiting for news from Manila. While the President and his advisers profess cheerful philos- ophy in discussing the various theories to account for Commodore Dewey's silence, they are unable to conceal the apprehension they feel lest all is not we'll with the gallant commander and
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-07

NEW YORK, May 6.-The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: Preparations are in active progress for augmenting Commodore Dewey's fleet at Manila, while the authorities are anxiously awaiting for tidings which will determine how much, if any, assistance he will need. Hopeful of good news, the official mind will not be at ease un- til Commodore Dewey has been heard from. Upon the recommendation Of the Naval War Board, Secretary Long has informed the War Department that the cruiser Charleston, which has been placed in commission at Mare Island. will be the man-of-war to convoy the troopship to Manila.
 Secretary Alger will therefore deter mine the date Of the departure of the cruiser with expedition from Mare Island. As the Herald stated this morn ing, it is proposed by the War Depart ment to place at least regiment of in fantry on board the City of Peking, which is expected to sail from San Fran cisco for Manila about May Is. The City of Peking, besides carrying a ma chine shop for the repair of the con- quered vessels of the Spanish men-of- war. will take large amount of ammu- hilton. as follows: Fifty rounds for each eight-inch gun, fifty rounds for each six-inch gun, 100 rounds for each fve-inch gun, 300 rounds for each one and six pounder.
 Tn accordance with instructions from Washington, General Merriam, who will command the military eXpedi- ton. has been collecting a formidable force at San Francisco, and it Is ex- pected that 1t will be ready to sail by the time the City of Picking and other steamers to be acquired are in condition to depart. Of course much of what IS being done is preliminary in character and will not take actual effect until Commodore Dewey is heard from. While maintaining hopeful view of the situation and believing Commodore Dewey is its master, the authorities pri- vately admit that they will not get down from the anxious bench until he has wired them details of his action upon the Spanish fleet and upon Manila.
 Before Commodore. Dewey sailed from Hongkong on Sunday a week ago Secretary Long cabled him asking him to make arrangements for keeping in continuous communication with the de- partment, and it is believed he arranged with Consul Wildman at Hongkong to
