 Washington. April 6.
 After waiting ~atiently in the gall leries and corridors of the House for hours, many of them from o'clock until shortly before o'clock this after noon, the thousands who had come to hear the Presidents message turned away weary and disgusted at the de- lay. Never was there such disappoint- ment at the Capitol. The members felt it even more keenly than the specta- tors, and for two hours afterward they stood about the Hobbies discussing the latest phase of the situation.
 The news of the proposed armistice which came on the heels of the an- nouncement that General Lee had ca bled for delay received quite as much attention as the request of Lee. The debate in progress in the House over the army reorganization bill attracted little or no attention. It was complete ly overshadowed by the more absorb ing question. Considerable opposition to the bill developed on the ground that Its provision for an extension of the regular army in time of war to 104, 900 men would be iniraical to the National Guard and the volunteer forces, upon which the country had heretofore relied Tn time Of stress. There will be a strong effort to recommit the bill tomorrow.

The Presidents mes sage had been positively promised. and It's coming was awaited with genuine anxiety. Ten minutes after the Sen ate convened consideration of the sun dry civil bill was resumed and with the exception or eight minutes consumed by executive session, in which Senator Davis announced that no message would be sent in to-day, almost the en- tire session was consumed by the ap- propriation bill.

Washington, April 6.
 Several officials of the administration called informally at the White House tonight and had conferences with the President. Secretaries Long, Bliss, All ger and Attorney-GeneraI Griggs were among those who saw the President, but all left the executive mansion early and the President retired before Il o'clock None of them would discuss the situation in any of it's phases.
 Early in the evening the President had a long conference by appointment with John A. Mccall of New York. MT. Mccall is said to have assured the President that the Government would be put to no embarrassment by a lack of money with which to prosecute a war. While he deprecated war and hoped that it might be averted, if it could not be the whole people of the country would stand by the President in maintaining a just contest.
 It is said upon excellent authority that Mr. Mccall represented to the President the belief that within forty eight hours he could raise among the financial institutions of New York alone $500 GOO, 900, which the Government could have upon it's own terms and that if a popular subscription were called for $500, ,0O0,O 900 could be obtained in q few days.
 Late tonight Mir. Mccall said he did not care to discuss his interview with the President.
 'As to a war loan," said he. I've will not cross that bridge until we get 10 it. Everybody ought to deplore war, but when the President says war is inevitable the people will stand solidly with him. He can have all the money he wants"

DEWEY TELLS HIS GREAT VICTORY
Cavite After Completely Destroying the Spanish Fleet Of
Eleven Vessels and Reducing the Forts at the
Entrance to the Harbor and Cavite.

originally given out the names of two
Spanish vessels had been omitted from
the list of those destroyed. They were
the Don Juan de Austria and the Isle
de Luzon. The Austria was Il 100 toE
vessel, IA knots, carrying 4 finch guns
and also machine guns. The Luzon
was II 1000 ton gun boat similarly
armed. That makes II Spanish ships
destroyed by Dewey in the short space
of two hours. AS he left the Navy De-
partment this afternoon Secretary Long
said in answer to aquestiOn that he had
nothing further to communicate to the
public; he had given already all of tn,
news that the McCulloch brought, save a
trifiing detail not of general interest and
of Importance only to the department.
The receipt of advices at the State De.
partment, however, from commercial
sources indicates that further news may
be coming by commercial steamers.
If Congress does not prematurely act,
as it did in the case of Worden when ne
achieved his famous victory over the
Merrimac, acting Admiral Dewey will
become an actual Admiral in few days.
The law of July Is, 1882 provides tina,
naval officers who, upon the recommen-
thanks of Congress may he advanced
one grade. The President will do this in
Dewey's case. which will put $1,000 adj.
ditional i'll his pocket and jump him
over three commodores as well as over
Acting Admiral Sampson.
The Navy Department to-day bough,
another boat. the big steam yacht Dor
othy, now at Cramps Yard ut Philadel-
phia and built for Mckena. She will be
sent to join Admiral SIMPSONS squad
ron or to Havana on blockade duty.

was Il source Of special comment and tn,
military attache of one of the embassies
said such Il disparity probably was with
ont parallel in history. How the Span
iards could have lost $50 killed and go
wounded, while the American loss was
confined to il few men slightly injured,
is regarded by the foreign observers as
clearly disclosing the utter worthlessness
of Spanish arms. The ambassador of
one of the great powers, said it showed
that the guns of the Spanish forts, ao
well as those on their ships were worth
less. otherwise they would have inflicted
at least some mortality upon the AmcrI-
can sailors.
1T recalls SolferinO." said he. AT
that time France and Austria were at
war, but the range of the French guns
was longer than that of the Austrians.
That brought them together on unequal
terms, and the simple difference i'm the
length of range of the French guns
determined the outcome of & at battle.
so it was with Dewey. He not only had
the guns. but they had the modern
strength and destructiveness, while the
Spanish guns evidently were antiouated
and guns only in name. 1t serves to
show that III the warfare Of today II
nation must have weapons OF the most
modern pattern, else it is at a terrible dis
advantage and its men are left prac-
ticaly at the mercy of an enemy having
all the latest appliances of destructive
warfare It is the lesson of Solferino
over again and this time Spain learns it."
1t was thought that the British en-
bassy would receive direct advices. but
none came The French. German. and
other foreign establishments were also
lacking in direct advices.
