SHIPS ON THE WATCH
Washington. May 15.-The following cable
dispatch was received by the Navy Department
to-day from Admiral Dewey:
Cavte. May 13 Hong Kong. May 10.-Main-
taining strict blockade Reason TO believe that
the rebels are hemminc In the city by land. but
have made no demonstration. Scarcity of pro
visions in Manila. Probable that the Spanish

take Manila at any moment. Climate hot and
moist on May - captured gunboat Calao

one British, one French. two German one Jap
anese vessels here observing. DEWEY.
This dispatch brought welcome news to the
President. and particularly TO Secretary Long
and the naval officials who are watching the
AdniiraVs movements with so much interest
although no apprehension existed as to his Sc
ourity- The kilograms indicate that Dewey has
lost none Of the prestige gained in his memora-
be fight Of two weeks ago and that while he
refrains from taking the city of Manila he has
II practically at his mercy. The Admiral ex-
presses the belief that the rebels are hemming
in the city by land, but the fact that he says
explicitly that they have made no demonstra
ton seems TO disprove thoroughly the published
reports that they had already entered Manila
and had begun career Of bloodshed and rapne
The best evidence of the effectiveness Of the
blockade maintained by the American Admiral
and also Of the WORK Of the Insurgents In sur
rounding the city is shown in the statement In
the dispatch that provisions are scarce IN
the city Of Manila, which seems to indicate
TO Admiral Dewey an early surrender by the
Spanish authorities. Another published report
also seems to be refuted by the Admirals ad-
vices. and that Is that the rebels had raded
Cavite where the Spanish naval station was
cd and u-ho
Of arms and ammunition were kept. II the
rebels have been supplying themselves with
arms, II must have been with the Admirars
consent as his dispatch is originally dated from
Cavite, indicating that he is still in possession.
The greatest satisfaction prevails here over the
good work being done, and the effectiveness of
the blockade being maintained by him.
