WASHINGTON, May g.
The general opinion in Washington,
among naval officials, is that one more
American victory will end the war Should
Admiral Sampson repeat Deweys success to-
day or tomorrow, thus leaving Spain with
out navy, hostilities will end within thirty
days. The United States will be satisfied
when the spaniards are driven from Cuba
and Porto Rico.
This government, however, will have the
difficult task of evolving order out, of chaos
in Cuba, and to do that it will be necessary to
put the island under military form of
government pending an election by the
people of that island. and to keep our
vessels in Cuban waters for some time.
1t is now said the invasion of Cuba has
been deferred for another week, until after
definite news of the Spanish squadron is re-
ceived.
Orders have been issued for the mobiliza-
tion of 10000 state troops at once at Chicka-
