the number of troops he deems necessary
to enforce our control OF the Philippines
The administration practically decided
to occupy the Philippines with strong
military force as soon as possible after
Dewey's report, which is expected by
tomorrow, has been received. For this
purpose the Pacific slope troops will be
used and it is expected that at least
5000 will be en- route within the next ten
days.
The government will take steps at
once to supply Dewey's fleet with pro-
visions and other supplies, including
ammunition and coal. One ship has
been secured already as a collier. AL
though without confirmation from Off
,cial sources, naval officials are disposed
to attach some credit to the statement
coming from Paris, that at last accounts
from Manila the American feet was
firing upon Corredor island. This
island lies in the outer entrance Of the
harbor of Manila and is about 25 miles
below the city. 1t is crowned by a
lighthouse and has several modern guns.

Fitzhugh Lee, Shafter and Wade to

Brigadier General,
DEWEY WANTS SUPPLIES
Volunteer Concentration Points Chosen

Cabinet Considering Philippine
Situation.
Uncle Sans Navy Needs Money

Washington, May 3.-Secretary Long
has prepared the deficiency estimates
amounting to $1S, ,500,O 900, of which $1O,-
100000 is for supplies, transportation,
etc, to the Asiatic squadron.
General Officers Of the Volunteer Army.
Expecting that the senate would be
in session today the War department,
had prepared a list of persons whose
nominations were to be sent in as ma jol
generals and brigadier generals. The
list included Fitzhugh Lee, formerly
consul general of Havana, as major gen
eral and it is believed also, W. R.
Shafter, commanding the brigade at
New Orleans, and J. f. Wade COM
manding the regiments at Tampa, both
of whom are now brigader generals, to
be major generals.
A Railroad Man to be Brigadier
w. r. Blanchard, chairman of the
Joint traffic railroad association, will be
nominated as brigadier general of vol
untcers and attached to the quarter
masters department of the army, to
take charge of all matters relating to
the transportation of troops,
Absurd Spanish Tales.
Secretary Long announced today that
as soon as the department received Of
fetal word from Commodore Dewey, con-
firming the press accounts of his victory,
a cablegram would be sent to that officer
congratulating him upon the splendid
performance of the American feet under
his direction. Moreover, said the secre-
tary, as soon as the necessary confirma-
tion is at hand, Commodore Dewey will
be made an admiral in recognition of his
valOr.
No stories coming from Spanish sources
as to the battle at Manila appear quite
so ridiculous as the statement that Com
modore Dewey fired Manila and the
Spanish ships by the use of petroleum
bombs. AS a matter of fact there is no
>slch weapon OF warfare in the American
navy. The ordinary service shell is
quite as capable of causing fire among
combustible material as any contrivance
based upon the use of petroleum.
More Money Wanted for the Navy.
The secretary of the navy has sent to
the secretary of the treasury for trans
mission to congress, to be included in
the urgent deficiency bill, estimates of
the appropriations required by the navy
department. to complete the service for
the current fiscal year, and the next fiscal
year ending June 80, 1899, amounting
to $1s, ,4s0,O 900. This is in addition to the
$34, ,O19, 1898 asked for last week by the
secretary of war

The president will await advices from
Commodore Dewey before deciding
whether to send troops to Manila or

Volunteer Concentration Points.
Chickamauga and Washington have
been absolutely decided upon as the
volunteer army concentration points.
At least one other eastern point will be
chosen, probably either in New York or
Pennsylvania.

PROCEEDINGS in CONGRESS

The War Revenue Bill Under Consideration
Washington, May 3.--The senate COM
mittee on finance resumed it's sitting to-
day, hearing Secretary Gage on the
necessity for including in the war rev.
enue bill the authority for an issuance
of bonds. The secretary supplied all
the information in his possession as to
best statements obtainable for future
expenses.
Secretary Gage told the committee
that the best estimates obtainable, indi-
cate that the next two months the war
will increase the government expendi-
ture about $50, 900, 900, and by that time
the entire amount in the treasury, with
the exception of the gold reserve, would
be exhausted and 100000 of the re-
serve also taken. Secretary Gage also
stated it to be his opinion that revenues
would decrease on account of the war.
In view of these facts he considers the
authorization for an issue of bonds nee
essary.
Dewey's Promotion.
Representative Grout introduced the
following resolutions:
Whereas, The intrepedity and skill
displayed by Commodore Dewey in his
daring attack upon the Spanish fleet in
Manila harbor and its total destruction,
covered, as it was, by the protecting
guns of the surrounding forts, marks
him as the possessor of the highest
qualities as a naval commander. There
fore be it resolved, That he ought to be
promoted to the rank of admiral and
the president is hereby authorized to
nominate him for the rank to the senate,
which body is hereby authorized to con-
firm him, the general laws regulating
promotions in the navy to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
