WASHINGTON, May 10-There is the
best authority for the statement that
yesterday having passed without q re-
port from Admiral Sampson the navy
department does not expect to hear from
him within several days. The authority
for this statement is fully acquainted
with Admiral Simpsons plans, and the
remark would seem to indicate that the
admiral, having failed to find the en-
emy at the place expected, had turned
his attention to the alternative project.
What this is cannot be ascertained. 1t
is evident, however, that the depart
ment is under no apprehension as to the
safety of the American fleet, nor of any
vessel of the fleet.
1t is now officially admitted that Ad-
miral Sampson on Sunday was with his
feet near Cape Haytien, on the north
coast of San Domingo, and distant about
a days run from Porto Rico. So far no
reports have come to the department of
any of the lurid engagements that are
said to have taken place in these waters,
but it is believed at the department that
If there was gun firing Sunday and the
day before, as reported by merchant
vessels, 1t probably was oCcasioned by
some of the United States vessels chas-
ing either prizes or the small gunboats
that are believed to be cruising around
in those waters. 1t is not believed that
there has been any engagement between
Admiral Sampson forces and the Span
ish ironclad flying squadron, else re-
ports would have been received already
at the department. From the eXpecta-
tion so plainly manifested at the navy
department that something important
is to happen very soon, it is surmised
that if Sampson does not strike the
Spanish flying squadron he may strike
a blow at Porto Rico itself.
1t is a curious fact that thus far the
navy department. does not know posi-
lively where the Spanish fleet is, and it
is just possible that the Spanish vessels
may be away over on the other side of
the Atlantic or at Cadiz, instead of be-
ing in SIMPSONS neighborhood in the
West Indies. That such thing can
happen is plainly shown by the report
from st Thoras that the Spanish cruiser
Alphonso XIII arrived at Porto Rico
Sunday or the day before. This is q
formidable protected cruiser Of modern
type, and it has been supposed all along
that she was at Cadiz, Spain, forming
part of the home defense squadron. The
fact that she has arrived at Porto Rico
without knowledge of her departure
having leaked out is an evidence that
the Spanish authorities are able to guard
the secrecy OF their naval movements
much better than our own people are
able to do.
Word came to the navy department
that the cable had been cut between
Montevideo and Rio Grande do Sui,
thus cutting of all communication
along the east coast Of South America,
below the first and last named point, in
the south of Brazil If this were not an
accident it would be hard to guess at
the purpose, the Oregon having passed
far north of the break. 1t is just possi-
BILE that Spanish emissaries have cut the
cable to conceal some naval demonstra-
tion or movements of Spanish ships in
that quarter of the world.

CONGRESS HONORs DEWEY AND HIS
MEN

And in so doing did the right thing
The President had made the hero Of
Manila acting rear Admiral, and Goa,
gress has passed bill creating an addi
tional rear Admiral, being the 7th,
In addition the thanks of the Ameri,
can people were extended through Con,
gress to the gallant commodore, his
officers and men; and the President was
authorized by resolution to present to
the new admiral a sword and to confer
medals upon his officers and men, Ten
thousand dollars were appropriated for
the purpose.
This, of course is a recognition of the
glory of the achievement. Admiral
Dewey and his men are the heroes Of the
hour and Dewey is from this on a great
naval hero. No doubt the admiral and
his men will appreciate this prompt
recognition at the hands of the Ameri-
can peoples representatives, as it is
eminently deserved.

COLUMBUS, May 11.-"Get ready to
move the troops as soon as possible"
In effect that is the order issued by
the war department to Governor Bush.
nell, commander.in-chief of the Ohio
troops.
Troops will be sent away from this
city as fast as they are mustered into
the United States service. While undue
haste will not be needed, the war de-
partment has intimated that all proper
speed will be appreciated, and that the
troops will likely be moved regiment at
q time. Late information is that the
First regiment, accompanied by the
Cleveland battery. will leave for Chicka-
mauga Thursday. The Fourth regi.
ment, with the GAINESVILLE battery, and
the Third regiment, with the Columbus
battery, will follow as fast as possible.
The departure of the troops at such an
early date means that they will not be
completely equipped here, and will re-
ceive their outfits at Chattanooga. The
state officials have been ordered to in
voice everything furnished the troops,
for an accounting with the national
government.
In addition to the infantry regiments
to be sent to Chickamauga three batter
les and all the cavalry will be sent south
to the rendezvous. The three batteries
chosen, if the rule of seniority is pre-
served, will be Batteries A of Cleve.
land, Q of GAINESVILLE and II of Column
bus. This is trifle different from the
program which was arranged a few days
ago, but it seems fairly definite now.
The remaining battery, the Newark, of
the four concentrated at Camp Bush
nell, will be sent to Washington. The
cavalry will be taken direct to Chicka-
mauga and there armed and horsed.
They have no arms here, and it is sup
posed that the general government will
prefer to fit them out complete after
they arrive at the rendezvous.
The field and staff of the Second regi-
ment was mustered in.
Colonel Hard Of the Eighth regiment
received telegram from Lieutenant
Colonel Dick saying that the regiment
would be ordered to Washington.
Thirty thousand pounds of ammuni-
ton have been ordered for the troops
and will be delivered immediately.

JOHN BULL AND UNCLE SAM.

John Bull had once little boy,
Who ran away from home;
The hardy fellow, full of Joy,
Loved in the west to roam;
He had the daring of his sire.
He had his genius, too,
And tho he passed through storms Of fire
He aye the stronger grew;
Fighting little Sam,
Plucky little Sam,
A world to be, for mankind free!
Saw pushing little Sam.
John Bull once tried to stop his growth,
But Sam hit out at once;
So poor old John for peace was loath
And ceased the youth to bounce.
To mankiDd's lusty force and vim
He grew at Freedoms call,
And millions went to worship him,
SO he made room for all,
Mighty Uncle Sam,
From sea to sea, great, brave and free,
Spread dauntless Uncle Sam.
John Bull, with proud and loving heart
This message to him sends:
"Dear Sam: OF me you are part,
We must-we shall be friends!
United well dare wars alarms,
Shake hands, my boy, my Sam!
Hurrah come all the world in arms,
We will not care -"
The Union Jack of John!
Inc Stars and Stripes Of Sam!
Shall ruler be, on land and sea;
Three cheers for John and Sam!

A BOLD ATTACK
ON SPANISH THRONE
Republican Deputy Says His Party Is
Ready to Assume the
Government.


MADRID, May 11.-There has been a
stormy session in the chamber during
the debate on the war funds. Salmeron,
Republican, declared his party ready
to form a government. A great uproar
followed. The president threatened to
expel Salmeron if he continued attack.
ing the throne. Sagasta made q pas
sionate appeal to the patriotism of mem.
bers to vote war funds. The appeal
was answered with general atfirma-
tive cry.
When he finally obtained hearing
the president, Marquis Vega de Armijo,
requested Senor Salmeron to withdraw
the calumny. Senior Salmeron refused,
whereupon the president named him
and threatened to name him thrice if he
continued mis- attacks upon the throne.
AS result of this caution and of the
persistent monarchist Interruptions
Senior Salmeron was compelled to de.
sist.
Senor Sagasta, the premier, then rose
and declared that anyone trying to
show disunion among Spaniards when
the nation was engaged in an interna.
tional struggle was unworthy the name
OF Spaniards.
Senor Salmeron shouted: "I am a
good Spaniard.
This exclamation was greeted with
Monarchist shouts of mo, no. Out with
him"
Senor Sagasta appealed to the pa.
triotism Of members and prayed the
house to vote the funds so necessary
to conduct the war" His appeal was
greeted with the general cry 1--WE will
vote Immediately"
Senor Silvela, leader of the dissident
Conservatives, said his party would alb
stain from further discussion, and was
ready to vote the urgent war funds
Immediately, but he claimed the right
to debate the other budgetarY measures.

all around we will tske possession"

One would suppose that result like
that at Manila should take some of the
conceit and bravado out OF the Spanish
Dons. But an English poet long age
wrote:
Pride, where wit fails, steps in to our defense,
And fills up all the mighty void of sense.
