SAMPSON LYING IN WAIT.
viii Fight the Spaniards When He
Finds Them.

New York, May "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: Gable
advices received from Rear Admiral
Sampson announce his arrival off the
coast of Hayti with a division of his
feet. He will remain at the point
where he is located until the depart
ment or one of the scouts inform him
Of the appearance of the Spanish men
of-war which sailed from st. Vincent
nine days ago.
Although press reports have been
published announcing that the Spanish
feet has arrived at San Juan and off
-SIartinique, the department has heard
nothing from the American liners act
ing as scouts, confirming such reports,
and the consular officers of this gov
eminent in the West indies are silent
The officers are under instructions to
report to the department of state any
reliable information of the presence of
any Spanish men-of-war.<
The naval board has calculated the
Spanish squadron to be at or near
Porto Rico by TINS time, and it is in
the hope of bottling up the fleet in the
harbor OF San Juan that the men-of-
war of the North Atlantic squadron are
lowering within a short distance of
Porto Rico Some apprehension exists
IN naval circles of the possibility that
the Spanish vessels have passed the
American scouts at night or in misty
weather in which event, of course, 1t
will be more difficult to find them.

REPORTS OF BATTLES.
Unconfrmed Rumors That Reached
Key West Yesterday.

Key West, May 9, 1920 p. m.-Three
separate reports of engagements of
United States warships reached here
tonight, but thus far details are want
ing. One rumor is that the cruiser
Montgomery has captured two prizes
off Cape Haytien, after a sharp battle
with two Spanish gunboats, and put
into st. Nicholas slightly damaged
Another says that the tug Osceola, of
the mosquito fleet, was fired upon near
Havana; and the third is that three
Spanish gunboats fired upon the Unit
ed States torpedo boat WiIslow at Car
denas, but were repulsed by the Wins
low, after one had been disabled.
The Vicksburg tonight brought in a.
fishing smack, the Fernandino, taken
off Havana Both ships are lying out,
and, owing 20 the regulations, no de-
tails can be ascertained.

TROOPS FOR MANILA.
Utah Sends the Only Light Artillery
Batteries.


Washington, May 9.-Evidences OF
the preparations being made for carry
ing troops to the Philippines were APP
parent at the war department today
The officials had before them list OF
between Is and 20 vessels, whose home
port is on the Pacific coast, and were
making preparations looking to their
charter as transports. Their aggre-
gate capacity is more than ample for
the purposes of the government. Should
all be secured the war department will
be able to send cavalry troops to the
Philippines, in case this is deemed
necessary. The assignment of two
batteries of light artillery, and one
troop of cavalry-Utah's apportionment
of troops for the national defense-is
taken to indicate that some of them
will be sent to Manila.
If the original programme is adj
hered to, the volunteers to be sent to
reinforce Admiral Dewey will include
the following, with the possible excep-
ton of the artillery and the rif1emen:
Two regiments of infantry and two
batteries of heavy artillery from Cali
fornia; one regiment of infantry from
Oregon, one from Washington and one
battalion of infantry and Senator
Shoup's troop of riflemen from Idaho.
In addition to these troops the depart
ment will. it is said, avail itself of the
four companies of the Fourteenth in
fantry, now on their way from Van
couver barracks to San Francisco. and
portions of the Fourth cavalry and
Third artillery.

Olympia, Wash, May Ex-Governor
Rogers today received the following
telegram from Congressman Lewis,
dated Washington:
Inform any of the guard omitted
from the present selected quota, that
the secretary of war assures me a new
quota will be sought from Washington
in the next call, which will be in ten
days"
Washington, May AT today's
special cabinet meeting the leading
subjects of discussion were the meas
ures to be taken to reinforce Admiral
Dewey at Manila and the probable
there has been no material change in
the plans. Approximately 5000 troops
will be despatched on the City of Pekin
and other transports. The Charleston
will act as convoy. The McCulloch has
not yet left Mrs bay, outside Hong
kong harbor, where she is waiting
further instructions to Admiral Dewey,
which will be sent probably tomorrow.
In his cablegram Saturday the ad-
miral made no request for troops, not
knowing the governments intention in
regard to the occupation of the islands.
1t seems quite certain, however. that
the government intends to make an
active campaign against the Spanish
forces there and Admiral Dewey will
be soon informed.
On the arrival of the troops, which
will be Immediately concentrated from
the Pacific coast states, it is expected
that a landing will be made at once
and operations began to capture the
city and reduce the remaining fortifi-
cations. In addition to the 5000 or
5000 troops the transports also will
take out a considerable cargo of sup
plies, including ammunition.

surgents have but a semblance Of mill
tary training. If they make an at
tack on the city it will degenerate into
lawless footing. The insurgents will be
nothing better than mob out for plum
der.
There is grave necessity for a strong
government at Manila. Commodore
Dewey could have taken the city last
Sunday, but he feared violence. He can
land 1000 armed men, but these would
not be sufficient to prevent murder,
rapine and pillage. If we take Manila,
the French and British warships here
will land forces to protect their own
people in Manila, and their own inter
ests. Not less than 5000 troops are
really needed to occupy the principal
cities in the, Philippines. Dewey has al
ready asked for them, and has received
assurances that they will be sent as
quickly as ships can be had ready to
transport them.
The Hugh McCulloch has been made

cable communication can be restored.
The people of Hongkong make no

BRITISH WANT PROTECTION.
London, May 16-The Hongkong cor

The British in Manila have forwarded
q petition, through the British consul,

in-chief of the Chinese station, for fur
Their naval assistance, and it is antici-
pated that additional vessels will be
sent there on Wednesday. The British
consul is working in thorough harmony
with the American commander, but it
is felt that the overwhelming British
commercial interests require supervis-
iCn by a force sufficient to keep the
Spaniards and natives in check.
SPANIARDS STILL DEFIANT.
London, May 1O.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Hongkong, says a
communication from Manila asserts
that the Spaniards are still arrogant,
and not likely to surrender until the
city is blown to pieces. A telegraph
operator has gone with the McCulloch,
to see what can be done with the cable.

TRANSPORTS FOR PHILIPPINES.
Difficulty In Securing Sufficient
Number of Vessels.

San Francisco, May 9.-California' S
quota of volunteers is now in San
Francisco. Two battalions of infantry
and one battery of artillery arrived
from the interior of the state today,
making up the complement of troops
to be modified with the regular army
at the Preside for service at the Phil
ippines. In addition to the state troops
four companies of the Fourteenth
United States infantry arriyer from
Vancouver barracks on the Oregon ex-
press today. The battalion was COM
manded by Major Charles Pope.
1t is stated that the department is
having considerable trouble in securing
the necessary transports for the troops
destined for the Philippines, owing to
the refusal of owners to meet the terms
offered.
The vessels in port or expected here
during the next rs hours that could be
used as transports for men, horses,
munitions of war and coal are the
Australia, Mariposa, Ohio, City of Pu-
eblo, Lelanaw, City of Pekin, City
of Sydney, Progresso, Washtonaw and
Willamette.
The Ohio and Leelanaw were brought
out here from the east for the ST.
Michael trade, and it would not take
them long to fit them out to carry
large number of troops. The Progresso
carries 5000 tons, the Washtonaw 1000
tons and the Willamette 2,400 tons of
coal. They are now on their way here
heavily laden. The big Australian col
liers Burma and Titania are now on
their way from Nanaimo, B. c., with
about 10000 tons of coal between them,
so they would fill up the American
steamers Progresso, Washtenaw and
Willamette in short order

three miles distant from the squadron
The New Orleans is. in command of
Captain Folger and when she dropped
anchor here and saluted the commo-

Commodore Schley and officers of the

is evidently better fitted than the de-

London, May 10-A Milan CORE
spondent of the Daily News, telegraph
ing Monday, says: Calm reigns again.
This being so, it can do no harm to
say plainly, though it is by no means
certain the words will reach you, that
for the last two days this city has
been in the throes OF revolution, with
all its horrors, and all its sadness.
Certain quarters today present a
scene of complete devastation. In 9TH
ers, the duietness of terrorism reigns,
and this is the more striking when con-
trasted in the mind of the spectator
with the scenes of yesterday and Sat
urday, when, above the shriekS of the
dying, rose the walls of widows and or
phans, the hOarse words of command,
and the irresistible tramp of soldiers,
followed by the terrible boom of can
non.
When the fury first broke out, many
of the people who would have nothing
to do with the movement, were caught,
as, Z were. in a trap.
Many children had exceedingly mar
row escapes, the fire coming just as
the schools had been closed at noon.
Parents rushed about in an agony of
mind. Any mother or father can I'M
derstand their feelings while passing
through mob with bullets whistling
about their ears. Women, instead of
restraining the men, egged them on to
greater excuses, and even allowed their
children to participate. Some even
pushed themselves under the noses of
the soldiers, crying: towards, assas-
sins, we work all day to maintain you
in idleness," and in raising similar pro-
Il SITS.
Thirteen barricades were built by the
mob at Corse Garibaldi, where this
main street is intersected by others,
forming a. small square. Thus the peo-
pie were the masters of the ground,
which they held for long time before
the Bersaglieri. by acts of real heroism,
succeeded in penetrating the barri-
cades. Even the gentle nuns of San
Michaele were for a time in grave dan
ger, as the rebels were not likely to
respect women. A barricade has been
RACED beside the convent, and this en-
ragged the rioters. The savage cry rose,
Let us use the nuns to heighten our
barricadesr' They were on the point of
carrying out the idea when one of the
and distributed lire notes, enjoining
them, with the most exquisite courtesy,
to leave the convent in peace.
1t is extremely difficult to speak with
accuracy as to the numbers of killed
and wounded, and any estimate in
view of the conflicting statements cur
rent, can only be approximate to the
truth. 1t may be said at once that
the casualties were many times more
numerous than could at first have been
believed. even by spectators of the
blooshed Probably it would not be
exaggeration to fix the number of

| New York, May "a dispatch to the
World from Hongkong says: Dis
patches signed by Commodore Dewey
have just been sent to Washington,
recommending that the surrender OF
Manila be demanded and that pro-
visional government for the Philippines
be established pending the settlement
| of the war with Spain.
His proposal is for a commission to
take control of the government He
suggests that he be named as one of
the commissioners. The government
would be continued on much the same
lines as exists now.
He asks that sufficient troops be sent
him, in the event that his plan is
adopted. to maintain order If his sug-
gestion is favorably received by the
president and the cabinet ii is prob
able that our two consuls, Williams of
Manila, and Wildman of Hongkong,
will be asked to serve on the commits
sion.
Some such solution, it appears, must
be found Immediately. Food supplies
in Manila have run short already. 1t
is estimated that the town has only
enough to last two weeks. No more
can be brought in.
Commodore Dewey's fleet has COM
pletely invested the city by water and
the insurgents control all land ap-
proacheS. 1t is impossible for the in
habitants to add to the present supply
of food without consent of the Ameri-
can commodore. He is in absolute con-
troll. The forts at Manila are not
strong enough to cope with his gune.
The fleet would have no trouble in
. l1E
terly destroying the residence and bust
ness quarters. Not only the governor
general, but the people as well, realize
that if Dewey demands a surrender he
can back up his demands with shot
and shell sufficient to wipe out the city
If the demand is made and the COVER
nor refuses the people will rise and de-
mand that he surrender. There would
also be revolt on the part of many
of the soldiers before they would bring
down on the practically defenseless
city the fire of the powerful American
fleet.
Under international law a city can
not be bombarded until a. days notice
has been given, but the action of the
Manila forts in firing on the American
fleet, would be sufficient grounds to
break this rule. Commodore Dewey
has said he will give the people time
to leave the city if he is compelled by
a refusal to surrender to lombard Man
lila. The Spanish inhabitants would
gain little by flight, for the insurgents
hold the hills and could easily defeat
them in combat.
Commodore Dewey has held no COM
munication with the insurgents. Relt-
able reports are that $4,000 are on the
hills that surround Manila These men
will be armed with American repeating
rifles, recently landed in the Philippines
by flibustering expeditions. The in
