WHY DEWEY CUT The CABLE.

Washington, ID. c., May 9.-The
greatest surprise was expressed in
naval circles over the lack Of details
lin the Dewey report. Everybody
was anxious to know the exact situa-
tion OF the American squadron. A
reporter was told by an officer who
saw the dispatches that Dewey want
ed more men. This officer said that
Dewey was evidently anchored in Ma
Mia bay with his squadron, holding
che town oflManila from the water
and in practical control OF the situa-
ton, but was deferred considerably
In making his victory complete by his
lack Of men to send ashore.
Another omission from the account
given out officially rs the text OF Com
modore Dewey's report relates to the
photographic cable. There is good
,authority for the statement that the
|cable was cut by Dewey. An officer
aof high standing said that the Ameri-
lean commander had done so.
! The reason that will probably be
fgiven by Commodore Dewey for sew
sering communication with Manila is
THAT he wanted to keep the enemy
4from sending and receiving advices
ito and from Madrid. Old naval OIL
slcers say, however, that the cattle was
I,ropably cut by Dewey TO keep the
lhavy department from telling hin
ijwhat to do until he had finished hi'
work at Manila.

now THE POWERS FEEL.
England WIN Not Brook Inter
ference Till IL Ii All over.

London. MAY 9.-Now that Dewey
has been heard from additional inter.
est is taken in the internal affairs Of
Spain. Many believe that the war
will be brought to an end within q
few weeks, but they do not think
Spain can bow to the inevitable with
out sacrificing the government and
dynasty.
Many stories are aaoat as TO the
proposed attitude Of the powers when
the crisis reaches the stage which will
demand interference TO preserve in.
tact the concert Of Europe.
The Arena claims that the powers
had concluded TO intervene after the
Arst battle, but that the scheme was
spoiled by the refusal OF Russia to
agree at the .ast moment, Austria al
90 holding out against the plan.
Both these countries desired that IN
case of revolution in Spain troops
should he sent TO quell the disturban-
ces. These stories have been in cir.
culatiou all the week, and psrucular-
~ 10 Downing street.
England has refused 10 take any
part In the proposed program, and is
alleged TO have been asked 10 join in
o naval demonstration of the West
Indies to impress people with the idea
that other powers are interested in
the pending conflict. 1t is reported
that the proposed demonstration was
really to menace the United States.
Great Britain at once emphaticslly
protested against any such move
ment after 1t had oeen denounced by
Goschen, at q meeting OF the cabinet.
England will not interfere during
the progress OF the conflict, but when
terms Of peace are to be settled she
may have something TO say, although
II Is stated she will manifest no oppo-
.sition TO the retention OF the Philip
pines by the United States.
There is q report TO the effect that
Ambassador Hay has received official
assurance TO that effect.

THE FLEET EXPECTED.

Cape Haytiep, May 9.-Tbe cap
tain general of Porto Rico has re-
ceived orders to prepare rations for
10000 men. When he asked for a
report on the probable arrival Of the
Spanish fleet he received a reply that
the movements of the ships were a
strict secret, but to be ready at any
moment.
There are many rumors, but no re-
liable information Of the nearness OF
the ST anish feet.

ANOTHER SPANISH Prize.

Key West, Fla, May 9.-The
Spanish brigsntine Frasquiti, from
Barcelona, bound from Montevideo
to Havana, and having on board a
cargo Of jerked beef, was brought in
here by the dispatch boat Hamilton.
The Frasquiti was captured off Ha.
vana Saturday afternoon by the Unit

of capturing two prizes in
one day.

the outcome of that battle. So it is
with Dewey. He not only had the
guns, but they had the modern
strength and destructiveness, while
the Spanish guns we're antiquated and
guns only In name. 1t serves to
show that in the warfare OF today
nation must have weapons Of the most
modern pattern, else it is at terrible
disadvantage and its men are left
practically at the mercy of an enemy
having all the latest appliances Of de-
structive warfare. IL is the lesson OF
Solferino over again, and this time
Spain learns it,"

RUMOR OF BATTLE.

Port An Prince, Hayti, May o.
The United States cruiser Mont
gomery, Commander G.. A. Con-
verse, is supposed to have been en-
gagged with a much larger Spanish
cruiser last night northwest Of Cape
Haytien, a seaport town OF Hayti,
on its north coast, ninety miles north
of Port Au Prince.
The French steamer Olinde Rod
riguez, from Havre on April l6, for
Haytian ports, was at Cape Haytien.
A Spanish warship is said TO have
been watching her, installing the
steamer for an American vessel.
When the Ulinde Rodriguez left
Cape Haytien the Spanish warship
approached her and allowed her to
continue on to this port on recogniz-
ing TIE French flag.
The United States cruiser Mont
gomery left Cape Haytien soon after
ward, and the Spaniard, which is
presumed TO have been watching for
her, is said to have pursued the
American cruiser, both of them put
ting on full steam. The Spaniard,
according to the story told by the
crew Of tie French steamer, gained
ia the pursuit, which was witnessed
from the bridge Of the Olinde Rod
riguez by the officers Of that vessel.
The two warships, they say, went
in the same direction, with the Span
lard behind. The latter appeared to
be formidable vessel, and much
larger and faster than the Montgom-
cry.
BY nightfall, it is added, four dis
charges OF cannon were heard, which
we're believed to be the result OF the
Spaniard firing upon the American
warship.
Darkness, ii is further said, pre-
vented any further observations being
made, though the French officers say
the moon was so bright the battle
could have been continued, especially
| as the sea was beautifully calm, only
mild trade wind blowing from the
land.
Strange to say, it appears that all
the passengers OF the Ollnde Rodri'
guez were below al supper while this
exciting incident was occurring, but
the officers OF the steamer say they
are confident the Montgomery wa:
overmatched, and that her only
means of escaping was to run clos'
into shore in the darkness.
The arrival OF seventeen Spanish
war vessels was rumored and Others
at Porto Rico, and battle is ex
pected on Tuesday. 1t Is also re-
ported from Cape Haytien that Rea
Admiral SIMPSONS squadron ha'
been sighted to the North.
| The vessel which pursued tn,
cruiser Montgomery is supposed tC
have been the Spanish warship Viz
caya and it is suggested that possibl.
the Montgomery enticed the Span
lard within striking distance of Adj
miral Sampson. The crew Of tn
German ship Bolivia, Capt. Bruhn
which arrived today, say they hearC
cannonading TO the northward abou
O'Clock this afternoon.
Advices from Cape Haytien sa.
that yesterday, off Mole st. Nlcho
las, two Spanish warships captured
schooner bound for Cape Haytien.

PLANS FOR INVASION.

Tampa, Fla, May S.-Gen.

plans for the cooperation OF the
United States and Cuban forces in
the field, left for Washington last
night on an important mission. He
has with him all the data necessary

just returned from Cuba, where they
were in conference with Gomez and
the other leaders in the field. Gen.
Nunez received reports showing The
best plan for the landing OF the
American forces in Cuba. The re-
ports also indicate the fittest time,
the three most favorable places for

of their strategic advantage, and
other facts which will be OF vital i'm
portance to the American command
ers who will gain a foothold in Cuba.

Reximental Officers Are Busy


It has been long time since there has
been as much activity in military circles
as there has been since the orders to pre-
pare 20 move to Island Lake came In
late yesterday afternoon. All the bri-
sgade and regimental officers located here
were active, not only getting themselves
prepared, but issuing orders to subordi-
mates.
The telegraphic order which was first
received came to General Lyon and is the
same as was issued to the different CON-
pany and regimental officers throughout
the State. Ii read: Have your COM
mand ready to move in heavy marching
order to Island Lake notlater than Tues
day, april %. Every available blanket
and oyercoat must be taken. Do not
oring stoves or provisions, except rations
Co be used en- route. The men will find
use for private blankets for a few days.
Extra overcoats and blankets will be Ia
sued at camp. Route to be taken will
DE issued later by the quartermaster gen.
eral. Mounted officers can take horses.
Captains notified except in your town.
Also notify staff and field"
Colonel Petermann was immediately
notified and also Captain Fliege. OF the
local company. According to the in
structions assistant adiutant general
immediately telegraphed the different
members OF the field and staff brigade
officers who do not reside here and the
local brigade officers were at once noti-
fed personally.
Adiutant MacNaughton, OF the Fifth
Infantry. was the busiest man OF them
all last night. he had to notify the field
and staff officers OF the regiment who are
located here and also to telegraph the
different officers on the regimental staff
who live in other towns. The wires were
kept hot with telegrapbic orders from
here last night. The different officers
were told to proceed with the companies
located in the towns where they lived.
Adiutant MacNaughton had also to no
tify the members OF the Fifth Infantry
band who are located here. There was
some talk that the band was unwilling
to go, but Leader Scott says they are de
cldedly desirous to be with the, regiment
and will stick to it through thick and
thin.
General Lyon was seen by reporter
last evening in regard to the matter and
he expressed it as his opinion that the
militia we're being ordered to Island Lake
as the best place TO get the men together
and in prime condition for active service.
How long they will remain there or what
the plans are he did not wish to comment
upon. From the way things looked he
thought that the local company and
different officers OF the brigade and regi-
meut located here would not leave be-
'fere Tuesday, as il would take until that
time to get the camp ground in shape for
them.
