RICHMOND AS RENDEZVOUS.
Miles Asks Map of Proposed Camp
Lee aud NnI'e Appointments.

Lee and Nal'e Appointments.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 2.-(Special.)
Representative John Lamb saw the Sec
retary of War and General Miles this
morning with reference to mobilizing the
troops near Richmond. The latter asked
him to prepare a paper setting forth the
advantages of Richmond, and, IL possible,
to furnish a map of the proposed camp.
Captain Lamb at once wired the Cover
nor of the State TO forward as quickly as
possible the required map.
The Congressman also urged the ap-
pointment of General Nalle as brigadier-
general. When told that Virginia would
have a major-general in the person OF
General Fitzhugh Lee, he replied that
General Lee might we'll be credited 10
the whole country. and Virginia be
charged with one brigadier-general. as
the Virginia troops wished TO march to-
gether under their own officers.
While there has been some talk in army
and navy circles of friction about Lees
appointment as major-general. the belief

AMERICAN SHIPS ENGAGED.
LONDON, May 3.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times, describing the
engagement at Manila says:
"Ths Olympia, the Boston, the Raleigh,
the Concord. the Petrol, and the Mono
cacy entered the bay. under cover OF
darkness, by the smaller and safer
Bocachica channel. The forts of Cor
regidor Island gave the alarm by firing
on the intruders, but they seem TO have
inflicted no serious damage. The Ameri-
o'clock in the morning appeared before
Cavite. Here, lying under the shelter Of
the forts, was the Spanish squadron.
No SPANIARD SURRENDER
"Sooh the Americans opened fire. The
Spaniafds replied vigorously, and the
combat continued without interruption
for fopr hours, during which time the
Don AdtOnio de Ulloa was sunk, the Cas-
tilla and Mindanao were set on fire. and
the Rtina Maria Christina and the Don
Juan de Austria were seriously damaged.
one or two of the smaller craft were
scuttled by their crews to escape cap
ture. Others took refuge in a small
neighbGring creek, emptying into Baker
bay, where, presumably. the American
ships we're unable to follow them. But
not one surrendered
MONTEJO WAS SURPRISED.
LONDON. May sit appears that Adj
miral Montejo was taken altogether by
surprise, and that the Spanish authOr-
ties generally were in state Of utter
unreadiness. The forts were not COM
pleted. the harbor was not mined. there
were no search-lights, and the American
squadron was only sighted after it had
already passed the outer and principal
forts.

i've from the forts.
SPAIN WILL NOT YIELD YET.
The moral influence OF the first great
victory is iucalculable, and though IL is
practically certain that Spain will not
Weld until she has tried conclusions in
the Atlantic. and also where she hopes
for better luck, with her really first-class
fighting squadron, il is believed that a
similar victory in Cuban waters would
produce signs OF revolution in Spain,

Let us Give Thanks.

President issues his Thanksgiving
proclamation inviting all our people to
observe Thursday. November 24th as
day of praise and thanks.
By the President of the United States:
Proclamation:
Approaching November brings to
mind the customs OF our ancestors,
hallowed by time and rooted in our
most sacred traditions of giving thanks
to Almighty God for all the blessings
he has vouchsafed to us during the past
year. Few years in our history have
afforded such cause for thanksgiving.
We have been blessed by abundant
harvests, our trade and commerce have
been wonderfully increased, our public
credit has been improved and strength
ened, all sections of our common count.
ry have been brought together and knit
ted into closed bond Of national pur-
pose and unity. The skies have been
for time darkened by the cloud of war,
but as we were compelled to take up
the sword in the cause of humanity, we
are permitted to rejoice that the con-
flict has been of brief duration. and tue
losses we have had to mourn, though
grievous and important, have been so
few, considering the great results &C.
complished, as to inspire us with graf
itude and praise to the Lord of hosts.
We may laud and magnify His holy
name that cessation of hostilities came
so soon as to spare both sides the count
less sorrows and disasters that attend
protracted war.
Il do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens. as we'll as those at home, and
those who may be at sea or sojourning
in foreign lands, to set apart and OBJ
serve Thursday, toe twenty fourth day
of November as day of national
thanksgiving, to come together in their
several places of worship, for service Of
praise and thanks to Almighty God for
all the blessings of the year; for mild
ness of seasons and fruitfulness OF soil,
for continued prosperity of our people,
for devotion and valor of our country
men, for the glory of our victory and
hope of righteous peace. and to pray
that divine guidance, which has brought
heretofore to safety and honor, may be
graclously continued in the years to
come. WILLIAM MCKINLEY,
President.
