News From the Philippines Spurs
Them Into Extra Good Work.
On Board the Flagship Brooklyn, Off
Fort Monroe, Va. May 3.-The interest and
enthusiasm over the victory of Commodore
Dewey in the Philippines continued this
morning in the fleet, but there was anxiety
to know something Of the American losses.
II was a source of congratulation based
upon the meager details received that the
American gunners had proved their supe-
rlority, and it is confidently expected they
will win every naval battle of the war It
may have been because of this self-con-
graduation that the ships of the squadron
a gun practice this morning showed phe-
nomepal skill in hitting the small, bobbing
targets.
A noteworthy feature of the shooting
was that every man at the guns acted as
sighting gunner and this in no way deteri-
GRATED from the splendid Workmanship.
The revenue cutter Manning, recently
converted, passed out this morning on her
way to Key West
The gunboat Bancroft which Il was an
rounced, yesterday, had gone to the block

ADMIRAL BERMEJo oENsuRED.
Spanish Papers Blame Him for the
Disaster at Manila


Madrid, May 8-Referring to the increas-
ed censorship and the cautions issued by
Gen. Daban with reference to the pubhca-
ton of news representing even the trans
mission of editorials from the Madrid jour-
nails Ell Nacional exclaims What is
taking place in the telegraph service is
truly scandalous So far as provincial cor
respondence is concerned, the Black Cabi-
net has seldom worked so thoroughly as
at the moment when it depends on a mis-
lister who calls himself a LIBERAL
This irritation is sharply provoked by
the governments expressions as to the
battle at Manila. Commenting upon 1t, FL
Nacional, which is the organ of the Wey-
lerite party, says yesterday when the
first intelligence arrived, nothing better
occurred to Admiral Bermejo minister of
marine) than to send to all the news
papers comparative statistics of the two
conlending squadrons. 1t is unfair TO
blame the enemy opposing forces SUI
perior to ours, but what is worthy of be-
ing blamed with all possible vehemence
is this Infamous government, which all
lowed our inferiority without neutralizing
it by means of preparation.
"Our sailors have been basely delivered
over TO the grape shot of the Yankees, a
fate nobler and more worthy of respect
than those baneful ministers who brought
about the first victory and its first vic
Tins"
Ell Heraldo de Madrid says; 1T was no
caprice of the fortune of war. From the
very first cannon shot our fragile ships
were at the mercy of the formidable hos
tile squadron. They were con-
demned to fall, one. after an
other, under the fire of the American
batteries, powerless to strike and were de
Tended only by the valor in the breasts of
their sailors"
Eel Liberal demands that Parliament in
sist on having light thrown upon the
causes of the Manila disaster, and says:
unfortunately, we are all depressed with
a presentiment that the disaster of Sun
day will be repeated in other places, ow-
ing to the same causes"

daring and energy. He has been In the
United States for several months, recov-
crlng from wounds received in battle. His
escape from Cuba several months ago,
passing openly through Havana, won him
a great deal Of notoriety.
Cen. Blanco learned just too late that
Acosta had come 10 Havana. He imme-
diately ordered the steamers In the har-
Dor searched and the police arrested on
board Of one vessel a man who bore Some
resemblance to Acosta, and there was
Huch rejoicing al the patace until the
prisoner proved that he was not the much
sought cavalry raider
With to-days expedition go two care
fully selected horses and quantity Of pro-
visions. A landing will be effected at
night at a thoroughly safe place already
selected. Acosta and Diaz viii ride at
once 10 the interior, where they will join

ton from the coast to the interior The

Montego Bay. Jamaica via Kingston,
Jamaica, May Seen Pando, the COM
mander of the Spanish forces in the field,
withdrew the Spanish garrison from Bay
amo, one of the important towns of the
province of Santiago de Cuba, on April o.
and refugees who have arrived here from
Manzanillo, the port of Bayamo. by the
schooner Gov. Blake, say that Gen. Ca
lixto Garcia, the lnsurgent commander
entered the town the next day.
Bayamo, or San Salvador, is situated
about sixty miles northwest of the city of
Santiago de Cuba. 1t has a population of
1000 souls in times of peace. There is no
knowing what its population is at present.
The merchants and inhabitants, it appears
were in great fear of massacre and plum
der, but Gen Garcia issued a proclama-
ton declaring that the property of Span
iards and their civil rights would be re-
spected. The general also personally as
sured the leading Spaniards of the place
that they were perfectly safe in remaining
at Bayamo with the result that business
went on as usual, and tranquility prevails
there.
The people began bringing in vegetables
and meat from the country and the prices
of provisions fell. No cases of outrage
have been reported.
Gen. Pando is understood to be at Man
zanillo. near the River Cauto, with the
main body Of the troops whose operations
he has been directing in Eastern Cuba. Up
to April q, about 5000 men, or one-third
of Gen. Pando's forces had been sent to
Havana and it is said more of them arc
to go TO the Cuban capital. They will be
accompanied by Gen. Pando himself.
The population of Menzanillo, which was
about y 600 souls before The war, has now
shrupk to 5000, and food is double and ire
BILE the ordinary prices
But few preparations have been made
for the defense of Manzanillo

Chickamauga National Park, Ca, May
3.-Recruiting the regular army at Chick
amauga Park is going forward very slow
ly. except In the colored regiments 1t is
believed that the full quota of colored
troops will be speedily obtained.
The officers and men have displayed
more decidedly than heretofore their Gag
erness to get into the fray since the news
of Commodore Dewey's victory at Manila,
and there is more or less chatting at the
present inactivity in camp life
Considerable stir was created at the
camp to-day over the announcement re-
ceived from semi-oficial sources in Wash
ington, and given out by Adjutant General
Sheridan, that the President has named
the following officers to be brigader gen
erals In command of the volunteer army,
the nominations probably to be sent TO the
Senate tomorrow: Col. A. S. Burt TWEEN
ty-ffth Infantry; Col A. *. Arnold, First
Cavalry Col. Sam B. Young, Third Cav
airy; Col. Sam M. Sumner, Sixth Cavalry;
Col j. c. Bates Second Infantry; Col.
Guy V. Henry, Tenth Cavalry, and Col
A. r. Chafee, Third Cavalry.
It is talked of as an open secret at Camp
Thomas that the Third and Sixth Caval-
~ are very soon to be moved to Tampa,
but no official confirmation can be had.
on account of the very warm weather,
the men are not required to do any hard
drilling, the intention being to get them
acclimated to the Southern sun somewhat
before heavy work is required of them.
