TO REINFORCE DEWEY.
At Least 5000 Troops to Be Started Within
Few Days.

Washington May AT todays special
discussion We're the measures to be taken
To reinforce Admiral Dewey at Manila and
the probable movement on Cuba. As to
the former there has been no material
change in the plans. Approximately 5000
troops Will be dispatched on the City of
Pekin aud other transports. The Charles
ton will act as convoy. The McCuloch
has not yet left Mrs Bay outside Hong
Kong harbor. where she is waiting fur
ther instructions To Admiral Dewey,
which will be sent probably, today or to-
morrow.
In his cabegram received here, Satur-
day. the admiral made no requests for
troops, not knowing the governments in
tention in regard to the occupation of the
islands. 1t seems quite certain. however,
that the government intends to make an
active campaign against the Spanish
forces there, and y Almiral Dewey viii be
SO inforr3cd. 1t is not probable that the
squadron win lombard the city or engage
in any active work against the fortidca-
tions there, except such as the admiral
may find necessary in order to retain con-
troll Of points now in his possession.
On the arrival of the troops, which will

AT KEY wEs1.
One Capture Made---No News from
Blockade or SIMPSONS Fleet.

Key West, May 9.--The Spanish fish,
ing smack Santiago Apostal. was cap
tured by the gunboat Mayflower off
Havana, yesterday, and brought in by
a prize crew. this afternoon. She was
bound from Yucatan for Havana with
a cargo of fish and crew of 10 men.
She rounded up with one blank shot.
This was the only incident of the day,
which was largely devoted to the cir
culation of alarming rumors OF the
sinking of American ships off the Gu
ban coast. Up to nightfall nothing ap-
preaching definite intelligence of the
blockading fleet had reached here.
The story hourishing at that hour
This was brought in by small boats
and was as much in need of verifcation

Spanish batteries on the north coast

priced to hear at any moment of a bat
tie at or off Havana.
Intelligence of Rear Admiral Samp-
sons squadron was also eagerly looked
for, It is believed that it has already
