DELAYS ATTENDING NEWS.
Calculations On Length of Time to
Hear From Dewey By Ships.

Washington, May 5.-The officials
have about concluded that there is lit
tie prospect of receiving news from
Commodore Dewey directly. during the
day, though there is possibility that
a merchant vessel may reach Hong
Kong from the Philippines, bringing
some news Of the battle and Subse-
quent events at Manila. 1t is prac-
tically settled that the cable cannot be
relied upon as a means of communica-
ton, as it is believed to be cut inshore
somewhere between its landing place In
the island of Luzon, Point Bolina and
Manila, and beyond the reach of Com
modore Dewey at this time.
The Official calculation is about as
follows: The latest authentic and di-
rect news from Manila showed that
Dewey subdued the Spanish feet and
made his demand for the surrender of
Manila through the British consul some
time Sunday. He at the same time gave
notice of bombardment, to begin Mon
day afternoon. Presuming that a dis
patch boat sailed at the earliest mo-
ment after the bombardment Monday
evening, and allowing three days for
passage, the ship is not due at Hong
Kong or Mrs Bay until tonight. 1t is
already tonight by our time in either
place, and possibly the McCulloch or
some ulSpatch boat IS just entering the
harbor Other delays would occur be-
fore receipt of a cable here, through
the many relay stations. so that it is
thought there is little chance of official
news coming in during the daylight
hours
There need be no apprehension on the
part Of the public that any news that
is received from Commodore Dewey
will be withheld from it. Secretary
Long has stated in the most positive
manner that he regards it as his duty
to make the people acquainted with the
facts as soon as he knows them He
believes this is only just to the relatives
and friends of the sailors of Dewey's
fleet. Therefore, the many rumors that
circulate to the effect that
the navy department has. received mys-
FERROUS cablegrams from Hong Kong,
which it has concealed, may be set
down as pure moOnshine.

INSTRUCTIONS TO DEWEY.
Long Sent Cablegram For the Com
modore's Future Guidance

L
New York, May ga special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Anticipating early communication
with Commodore Dewey, commander
in chief of the ASiatic squadron, Secre-
tary Long sent to Hong Kong today a
long cablegram, containing instructions
for the future guidance of the Ameri-
can naval officer. This message, it is
believed, related to the plans made by
this government for immediate dis
patching of troops to his assistance,
should he deem such action necessary
Approaching that a considerable
amount of the ammunition of the
American vessels has been expended,
Secretary Long has directed that
large quantity of shot and powder be
sent to Manila in a steamer which will
at once be chartered by the govern
ment.
Considerable apprehension is felt in
naval circles at the probability of a
massacre of Spaniards in Manila by
the insurgents, who, 1t is believed,
aided Commodore Dewey in the cap
ture of the city. Oppressed as they
have been by the Spaniards, the officers
with whom your correspondent con-
versed said they had no doubt that as.
soon as they had the chance they
would attempt retaliation. Commodore
Dewey" said one of these gentlemen,
will undoubtedly request the com
handing officers of the British German
and French men-of-war to land ma
rines to protect property of their re-
spective citizens. So far as Manila is
concerned, L have not the slightest
doubt that it is in the possession of
the American force. Manila proper
was protected by a WALL erected 800
years ago, and this wall was fortified
by some Anticipated guns. Having
placed Cavite under his guns, the rest
of the work. mean by this the cap
ture of the city-was a comparatively
easy task. and without doubt it was
successfully performed by the cour-
ageous American flag officer

Washington, May 5.-The secretary Of
the navy today ordered Naval Con-
structor William L. Caps, now at the
Union iron works, San Francisco to

steamer City of Pekin, just chartered
by the navy department, to meet Com
modore Dewey's squadron at Manila

island force a number of experienced
and intelligent workmen to take with
him. In addition he Will place on the
Pekin full supply of machine tools,
steel plate and all of the materials that

temporary repairs to a ship in distress.
The purpose of the department in
making this order is to put Commo-
dore Dewey's fleet at the earliest posi-
bic moment into first-class condition,
repairing all the damage sustained in
the engagement, and in addition to this
to raise and repair any of the Spanish
ships either surrendered sunk in the
engagement that are capable of being
navigated again.

SCHLEY'S BATTLE FLEET.
Addition of New Orleans Changes
Character of Flying Squadron.

Washington, May "a significant
movement is the addition OF the war
ship New Orleans to Commodore
Schley's squadron at Hampton Roads
in place of the Columbia. This seems
to indicate a complete change in the
character of the squadron, which, in
stead of being flying squadron, in the
ordinary sense. has now assumed the
character Of a battle fleet Without
being as speedy as at first organized,
Commodore Schley's squadron is prob
ably now able to meet, on even terms
at least, the formidable Spanish ar
nlored cruisers which sailed from Cape
de Verde for an unknown destination.
In view of this action Of the depart
ment, and particularly if Schley should
be reinforced by some torpedo vessels,
1t may be assumed that he is about to
start in quest of the Spanish squadron.

the big S-inch guns; 60, 900 pounds for the
G-inch guns; $1,000 pounds for the 5-inch

OF guns. This, with the large number of
S-inch piercing projectile shells
and inch balls will make the shipment of
ammunition very large one. The powder

Chicago. May "a special to the

fear that Dewey may be bottled up in
Manila harbor is gaining ground It
is recOl1ected that the entrance to Ma
Mia bay is through a channel planted
with mines. Dewey passed over these
silently in the night, and no opportun-
lty was given the Spaniards to fire
them. Now, ii he has not forced a sur
render of the city and gained control
OF the switch board used in firing the
submerged explosives, an attempt to
leave the harbor by any one of the

than Dinsiey. the Republican leader, in

He explained that this bill would set the
precedent for others of the same class, OF
which several were pending. He does not
believe the government ought to give out
right to the people any of the reserva-
lions in which it has purchased or pro-
poses TO purchase the Indian rights. He
told Judge King this evening that he
would be willing to support bill to open
the Uintah reservation If it were pro-
vided that the government should be re-

Long Confident That Dewey Is Mas
ter of the Situation-Some Fears
at the Capital That He Is Bottled
Up In Manila By Reason of Har-
Dor Mines.

Washington, May 5-Although natu-
rally anxious to hear from Commodore
Dewey, the president and the members
of the cabinet are not at all alarmed
at the non-arrival of news of the Ma
Mia fleet. 1t is pointed out that the
cable Office is about ten miles or more
distant from the city, and that the
connecting land line is undoubtedly in
the hands of the Spanish. This, it is
assumed, cannot be dislodged by the
commodore by the force now al his dis
posaL The commodore, it is said, may
have been compelled to send a slow
vessel out or he may be waiting to
send news of the surrender of the is
lands. In any event the contingencies
are such that no definite time can be
fixed for the arrival of the report.
NO FEARS.
No fears were entertained as to Com
modore DeWey'S ability to maintain
mis- position. There was no doubt, Sec
rotary Long said, that Commodore
Dewey's fleet had annihilated the
Spanish fleet, and with this much ac-
complished Dewey was master of the
situation at Manila.
1t was suggested to Mr.. Long that
the shore batteries at Cavite and on
COrTeSlOOr ISidnQ might De SSTlOuS
menace to the American fleet but the
secretary did not share this view, hold
ing that the strength of the Olympia
and other ships in Dewey's command
was ample to make him master of Ma
Mia bay and its surroundings.
EFFECTIVE AID.
The department is taking steps to
render effective aid to the commodore
in the matter or supplies, and a con-
structor of high ability is TO go out at
once to repair the damages sustained
in the battle of Manila. Preparations
for suitable convoy for the supplies
ships was also indicated by the choice
of a commander and officers for the
cruiser Charleston, now at Mare Is
land. 1t is recalled at the navy de-
partment in this connection that, hav-
ing received the surrender of Manila,
the commodore would be able TO Sc
cure any quantity of labor and of such
material as u maritime city like Ma
Mia affords for the repair of ships. He
also would be able to place his wounded
in comfort in some of the Manila hos
pitfalls or other public buildings. 1t is /
always a desire of a prudent naval /
to get his wounded ashore +;
at the earliest opportunity, as they !
stand better chances of recovery.

Washington, May 5.-No confirmation
is obtainable of the various reports con-
corning movements of Admiral Samp-
sons fleet. Persons who, from their
official position, might be supposed to
share the confidence of the administra-
I On, are credited with the statement
that the admiral has gone to seize
Porto Rico, and this statement is made
after conference with the executive. On
the other hand, 1t is asserted with al
most equal positiVeness that the fleet
has gone to meet the Oregon and bring
her in safety to the north. Still an
other report is to the effect that the
admiral has gone to seize Matanzas, to
be used as a base of operations. The
officials refuse absolutely to make pub
lie the plan of the strategy board, and
thus give aid to the enemy. Therefore,
these conflicting rumors as to the plans
of the fleet can only be judged in the
light of their probability when viewed
in connection with the usual methods
of warfare.

IT'S DESTINATION.

Opinions differ somewhat in naval
circles as to the destination of the
Spanish fleet Many naval officers can
scarcely conceive it TO be possible that
the Spanish admiral would be so rash
as 10 bring his vessels within reach of
such an overwhelmingly large force as
that which Rear Admiral Sampson
could bring against him. They believe
that if he has held westerly course
he counts on being able to reach Porto
Rico and get his vessels safely into the
harbOr of San Juan before he can be
attacked by an overwhelming Ameri-
can force. When he left St Vincent
the American force was divided. Rear
Admiral Sampson apparently was fully
occupied with the blockade of Cuban
ports, and the only vessels available to
be sent against him were those under
Commodore Schley.
