DEWEY'S GREAT VICTORY
(Concluded from First Pngel


navy Secretary Long has been obliged to
make an announcement that ne will not be
able to do so. The reason for this is that
the conditions are entirely diSsimilar TO
those that prevailed at the outbreak of the
civil war. We have now a considerable
naval militia that is entering the naval
service as a volunteer force, and the or
CARNATIONS come into the service fully
equipped with officers of all grades. The
new vessels that have been added to the
navy in large numbers recently have been
accepted by the government as they were,
with officers and crew on board, thus leav-
ing no room for the addition of naval Of
ficers except in the highest grades. In spite
of the great increase of the navy no adj
ditional officers are required, the advance
having been along the whole line. OF course
this statement applies only to officers, and
particularly to applications for acting pay
masters, ensigns and lieutenants, and is not
intended to discourage enlistments below
the commission grade.
1t is intimated in official circles that i'm
portant news may be expected from Porto
Rico by Sunday.

ZEN ROUTE TO TAMPA.
Twenty-Fifth Infantry Leaves Chick
amauGe National Park.

CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK,
Ga, May 6-The Twenty-ffth Infantry left
this afternoon at o'clock for Tampa, i'll
command of Colonel Burt, who, though Of
ficially notified of his appointment as a
brigadier in the volunteer army, was or
dered to accompany his regiment South.
Other regiments now in camp have been
ordered to rid themselves of all heavy
equipments of every sort and hold them
selves in light marching order. No orders
for movement came to-day, but it is stated
en- good authority that all but two regi-
ments will be sent South within the next
week or ten days.
Captain Lee, of the English army. who
has been at Camp Thomas Tor the past two
weeks as an observer of how the American
army gets itself ready for war, leaves in
the morning for Tampa. Captain Lee has
been the recipient OF great courtesy from
the officers and men. for which he expresses
himself as being highly appreciative.
A small party of recruits arrived to-day
Second Infantry and Second cavalry.
Among the number was a young man
dressed in the height of fashion-pointed
toed, patent leather shoes standing collar
and fashy necktie, derby hat and the other
habilimentS of the man of fashion. he was
Immediately dubbed 1.-The dude" but said
that he was willing to give it all up for his
country, a sentiment that was loudly APP
piauded, and he became at once a popular
man.
Gen. H. " Boynton arrived from Wash
ington last night and at once gave orders
to sink a large number of additional wells
at convenient points on the PARK grounds.
There are now twenty of these wells, to be
increased to thirty-fIve. General Boynton
stated that while it had not been deter
mined exactly how many volunteers would
be here, he was satisfied that, owing to
the acknowledged desirability of the park
as camping ground among officers of the
army, that there would be from 10000 TO
So 600 men stationed here to be prepared for
the army and active service.
Some apprehension is felt on account of
the lack of recruits for the regular army.
The terms of a number of men now here
expire this month and very few are re-
enlisting Fifteen men of the Sixth Cavalry
go out of the regular service during May,
and not one has yet signited his purpose
of re-enlsting, all expressing a preference
for the volunteer service.
General Brooke was notified to-day by the
War Department that all regiments of cav
AIRY would at once be equipped with rapid
firing Hotchkiss guns, which will arrive in
few days.
Second Lieut.. S. p. Lyon. Twenty fifth
Infantry, was to-day relieved from duty as
assistant commissary of General Brooke 5
provisional corps, and ordered to join his
command at Tampa Lieutenant ARA
smith, of the Third Infantry, was detailed
In his stead.

Drany spaninrds Aboard.

KEY WEST, Fla. May 6.--Of the 16S pas
sengers on board the Lafayette seventy
eight are for Havana, nearly all being
young Spaniards, who say they are going
TO Cuba to engage in mercantile pursuits.
When surprise was displayed that such was
their mission at this time they merely
shrugged their shoulders and vouchsafed
no further explanation. One Cuban was
aboard who was returning to join the in
surgent army. He was banished from the
island seven months ago. but came within
the terms of General Blanco's armistice
just before the war began. He was over
Joyed when told that he would be taken
with the regular United States troops when
they moved. Tho local Junto took him in
charge and he left for Tampa tonight.
The United States authorities who exam
ined the Lafayette to-day say that so far as
the ships manifest shows she carries no
contraband of war, but with such an i'm
mense cargo it was impossible to make a
thorough inspection. They saw nothing in
the nature of arms or ammunition on board.

SAILOR SHARKEY WHIPPED.
James j. Jeffries Does the Trick in
Twenty Rounds.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-Thos. j. Shar-
key, the sailor, and James j. Jeffries, the
heavyweight pugilists, met before the Ma
tional Athletic Club tonight and Sharkey
was whipped in the twentieth round The
seats elevated on the whole end of
the west side of the Mechanics
Pavilion collapsed before the fight
and the occupants were piled in a
confused heap. Many were injured but none
badly. 1t was a half hour before the police
could restore order. Then a second section
of seats on the northeast side of the build
ing came down in heap and a few mo-
ments later another section in the north
west corner collapsed and the great crowd
was almost in a state Of panic. Every man
was up and then the whole side of the ele-
waited seats came down. Almost every tier
of seats in the house had now fallen and
the five or six thousand peo-
pie on the main floor were
packed in an excited crowd. The betting on
the result remained almost uniform
at, 10 to $, with the big Californian favorite
me preliminary bout between Jack Stelsner
ana Henry Baker was then called, at $780,
ana aReIeree Agnew stopped the fight in
I I5n, ndtn round and awarded the decision to
Baker on foul. Stelsner chased the ref
cree out or the ring and went at Baker
again. but the police sent the men to their
uieSsiIlS IOOIuS. lime was called at 1904
O'Clock for the big fight. The men came to
the center of the ring with spring and
spared cautiously. Jeffries forced things
and Sharkey led first, but fell short He
then rushed and clinched, in the second
round, striking in the clinch, for which he
was missed. Jeffries landed hard left on
his face and forced Sharkey against the
ropes. Sharkey tried to wrestle. but Jeffries
held him at arms length and shook him as
If he were child
JeHrtes got Sharkey In the corner in the
Iourth and hooked Sharkey on the Jaw
Sharkeys leads were mostly short and he
repeatedly struck Jeffries in the clinches
Jeitrles staggered the sailor with n
left hook in the fifth and Sharkey
rushed wildly; but was stopped and
forced back. Sharkey gained more conf
dence In the sixth and did some rushing
but without apparent effect. In the rounds
up to the eleventh there were some warm
exchanges without decided advan-
vantage to either ,Jeffries knocked the
sailor down in the eleventh with a right
on the ear, and Jeffries landed repeatedly
in this round while Sharkey seemed tired
Jeffries landed hard and often in the four
succeeding rounds, and had the sailor in
distress part of the time Sharkey rallied
in the seventeenth, but in the eighteenth
Jefries landed three hard ones on the jaw
In the twentieth both men were tired, but
fought vielously Jeffries landed several
times on the body and face. but could not
knock the sailor out. The gong rang in
the middle OF hot mix, and the crowd
went wild with enthusiasm. Referee Greg
gains announced JeffTies the winner amid
the greatest enthusiasm.

Courageous Hindus.

In some things the natives of Bengal and
Behar are wonderfully courageous, and the
bravest deed that ever witnessed was per-
formed in the coolest manner possible by
two of my own domestic servants. One
morning, while seated in the veranda of my
bungalow, mad Jackal rushed through the
grounds and went under a raised go-down,
which was close TO the bungalow. I left the
veranda for my gun. and on my return
discovered two of my servants armed with
hog spears creeping under the go-down un-
til they came within striking distance OF the
jackal. when they quickly transfixed him
with spears. The offer of a blank check on
the Bank of England would not have in
duced me to act in the way that these brave
fellows did.
An old mihtar (sweeper), man Of the
lowest caste in my service, who was nearly
bent double with age, was the sn.artest
hand at killing a venomous snake that I
ever knew. The old fellow used TO sit up
at night in The fowl house fer the purpose
of destroying the cobras that came after the
eggs; and one morning before dawn L
stepped into the Veranda Of my bungalow in
time to see him pulling a KARAT out OF a
hole with one hand. which grasped the rep
tiles tail, while in the other hand was held
a stock, which promptly descended On the
karaits head as soon as ii appeared i'm view.
It was all done very neatly and smartly.
and as quietly as If the old man had been
crushing a beetle.

La Lucha to-day publishes an article en-
titled THE Jingoes and Their Work." Sum-
ming up the probable effects of war it be-
leves that the result will be worse for
American interests than for Spanish inter-
ests." La Lucha says that campaign plans
developed in the United States Senate will
be idle anG mistaken if they go on the as
sumption that all Cuban and Spanish resi-
dents in the island want Intervention or help
in the formation of government under the
protection of the United States" 1t says,
also, it is "a mistake to think that the peo-
pie of Cuba would rather be American than
Spanish, and that the losses sustained by
American commerce on account of the war
against Spain will amount to millions and
that Cuba has nothing now to sell America.
"They are mistaken, continues La
Lucha, eff they think it sufficient to move
their feet along the island and with gunshot
signals to attract the insurgents 1t is use
less. On the contrary both Cubans and
Spanish are united in defense of the SOW
ereignty of Spain against the Americans
When the American people find out how
they have been fooled, a terrible response

war" for defraying the expenditures of the
war The President has received positive
Information that the Senate committee OH
finance, which is still struggling with the
war revenue bill, will report that measure
with the bond feature eliminated. This fact
is causing the administration great uneasi-
ness and embarrassment, and the statement
: is made that the possibility of adverse ac-
ton in the full body of the Senate is a
source of much anxiety. The President laid
before the Cabinet the information he had
as to what is to be looked for from the
Senate, and, while not expressing absolute
confidence in favorable action by the Senate
with the bond feature reincorporated, ex-
pressed the hope that there would be a sat-
isfactory majority for the bond provision.
Should it not become a part of the law
many urgent preparations for the war will
have to be held back. The money to be
secured from bond sales, it is represented,
is needed imperatively for the execution of
the plans mapped out and adverse action
by the Senate would .be likely to interfere,
unless the money is otherwise provided and
by speedy methods as the issuance of
bonds with the securing of the freedom of
Cuba through the Dispatch of large detach-
ments of troops there, the expenditures on
account of which would be very great. The
administration is anxious to impress this
fact upon the Congress in order that ample
revenues may be at hand for vigorous
prosecution of the war
There was considerable qualification evil
dent at the session at the general war out
look. There. was a strong belief that the
Spanish fleet instead of sailing across the
seas to intercept the Oregon or to come
over into the waters near home to begin
operations would be found eventually to be
now progressing for some point closer it's
own possessions on the other side of the
ocean. While there is great reticence on
the part of all the members of the adj
ministration on the subject there is excellent
authority for the statement that the in
structions of ADMIRAL Sampson give him
great latitude.
Senator Mason, of Illinois. called on the
President to-day and conferred with him
regarding the raising of a regiment of i'm
munes by Duncan Harrison, of Chicago.

TO round up 4 herd of refractory steers.
They were all tall, well-built, athletic fell
lows, bronzed from exposure and a picture
of health and endurance. There were sew
eral young Englshmen in the party. who
had preferred this service as more exciting
than ranching. Three eX-policemen of the
