Hong Kong, May 11.-Advices from
Manila say that Montijo, the Spanish
admiral, has been assassinated by the
populace, who are looting the town.
Dewey has the port blockaded, and
$4,000 insurgents have surrounded the
city, cutting off all supplies of every
kind. Supplies are very short, there
being provisions enough to last only
about two weeks when Dewey entered
the harbor. 1t is presumed the Span

stroyers, comprising, it is alleged, q
part of the Cape de Verde island fleet
1t was suggested by some of the
members of the war board that there
was just possibility that the Spanish
squadron might take a quick passage
into the Pacific through the Suez
canal and attack Dewey at Manila. 1t
is said that, contrary to the common
understanding, the Suez canal is open
to the warships of belligerent powers,
so that if the Spanish choose to take
this course they would have a long
start of any pursuing fleet from our
side of the Atlantic.
1t is scarcely believed, however, that
the Spanish are willing to take the
great risk of exposing to our attack
their own ports by the withdrawal of
so considerable proportion of their
naval strength as would be required to
overmatch Dewey.

Uncle Sam Wants Good Men TO Garrison
Maniia's Defenses in Case Dewey
Meets Another Fleet.

Salt Lake City, May 1.-THE war
department has wired Governor Wells
TO forward Utah's soldiers to San Fra n
cisco at once. They will not wait for
equipments but viii be sent forward
in citizens clothing and without arms
These will be supplied at San Francis
CO. The troops are all mustered in and
can leave as soon as transportation is
provided
The exact time of departure has not
yet been fixed and can not be until
transportation is arranged. 1t can
hardly be later than tomorrow morn
ing, however, as there is every evil
dence that the government intends to
embark troops for the Philippines Sun
day.
The order for the movement of
the troops is earlier than was expected
and all energies are being bent to meet
the emergency.
The urgency of the order has been
interpreted by some to mean that the
government fears that the seat of ag-
gressive warfare may be transferred to
Manila by Spain, and it is not going to
allow the Notifications TO be manned
by Spaniards in the event that Dewey
is confronted by another fleet.

Wells has so been informed by the Ad-

army, in a telegram as follows:
Referring to telegram OF May 9TH
stating that the two light batteries of
your state would be ordered to Camp
George III. Thomas, Chickamauga Park,
you are informed that the two light
batteries and the troops of cavalry
from your state will be ordered to San
Francisco. Please note change. Horses
for the troops and for the two light
batteries will be furnished in San
Francisco, but all other equipments
will have to go with them.
The governor replied that the troops
would be ready to go as soon as they
were equipped. The batteries are
short of guns. These will probably be
supplied from the Rock Island arsenal

First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath states that friends and relatives
of soldiers in the field, in addressing
letters to them, should mark plainly
the company and regiment to which
they belong, as by doing so the distri-
button of the mail will be facilitated.
This applies to both the regular troops
and the militia volunteers.
