PUZZLED WARRIORS
Hardly Able to Credit the Full Extent
of the Victory

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE officials of
the Navy Department as well as all the
army officers who were on duty at the War
Department were simply amazed at the
extent Of the mortality inflicted upon the
Spanish by Admiral Dewey, for from the
moment when Secretary Long sent his dis
patch Of congratulation the Commodore
became an Admiral. Officers scratched
their heads in vain to think of any genuine
hostile engagement between armed forces
that had been so one-sided in it's results as
engagements. Never before save where
some terrible accident, such as the blowing
up Of a ship, had occurred, was there any
record of such a result. The opinion was
expressed by strategists that with superb
judgment Dewey absolutely smothered the
fire of the Spanish batteries and ships under
the weight Of his metal before they had an
opportunity to make any effective response.
AS for the forts, 1t is likely that he took
up his position at . distance that placed
his ships beyond the range of the old-fash-
ioned ordnance that formed nine- tenths or
more of the defensive power of the works
and shelled them into silence, succeeding
In escaping hits meantime from the few
pieces of modern ordnance that could be
trained upon him. OF course this opinion is
speculative, but it represents the views of
Department.
Admiral Dewey speaks Of the Spanish sick
and wounded in hospital within our Nnes."
The herald., 1898-05-08

There can be but one Interpretation placed
upon this, namely, that the Admiral has
occupied Cavite, a considerable town about
seven miles toward the mouth of the bay
from Manila, He has thus, supposing ne
goes no farther, secured a base for the ma
val fleet which will serve through the re.
mainder of the war, at least. Cavite, it is
said, outside of the Notifications, possess
ed already many of the essentials of ma
val station, among them marine railway
capable of lifting out of the water vessels
UP to 1000 tons displacement and hence
of great service in the repairing and clean
ing Of the smaller vessels Of the American
fleet.
An important feature of Admiral Dewey's
cablegram is the statement that he de-
stroyed the Notifications at the entrance.
This refers to the strong forts at Corregi-
dor Island, lying at the entrance to the
bay, and insures the Admiral against any
interruption in the line of communication
with the outside world.
AS soon as the news in the cablegrams
had been fairly absorbed by the officials
they turned their attention to the future.
1t was already in contemplation to send
some troops to relieve the squadron of the
necessity Of occupying Manila and the
forts, If Admiral Dewey should call for
them. Although he made no such request
in his cablegram today, the officials gather
from its text that he was not in compfeta
possession of the city, and they ascribed it
to the lack of men to occupy it. There
fore, without waiting further advices this
government will send troops to reinforce
Admiral Dewey with all promptitude. Sec-
retary Alger and General Miles were COM
munioated with on the subject and they i'm
mediately planned all the necessary ar
rangements for the sending Of an expedi-
ton from San Francisco.
The City of Peking is expected at San
Francisco today and the Mare Island Navy
Yard people promised to have her in con-
dition to receive troops and supplies by
next Thursday. Meanwhile the navy pay
officer, Pay Director Griffith. will make
every effort to get together some more
swift merchant steamers to serve for
transports.
1t Is not doubted that sufficient num-
ber of these can be readily secured from
among the swift and powerful steamers
of the great ocean lines starting from San
Francisco. General Miles thought that
about 5000 troops would suffice to rein
force Dewey. With vessels like the City
Of Peking no trouble would be found in
carrying these to the Philippines in six
ships within three weeks.
1t is the purpose to start the expedition
on the 18th, week from tomorrow. The
troops will be taken from the West mainly.
Senator Shoup was the first in the field
with bid for his people for the Philippine
campaign. The War Department promised
to take one of the infantry companies from
Idaho. Other troops will be drawn from
Washington and California. There are
eight companies of United States regulars
in San Francisco harbor, and they proba-
bly, will be dispatched, their places in the
coast defense being taken by the four
cavalry companies at the Preside and one
of the six companies of the Fourteenth In
fantry, now at Vancouver barracks.

WORD DIRECT FROM ADMIRAL DEWEY

first message was at hand, was still re-
ceiving sheets of cipher code from the
telegraph company, while the cipher ex-
perts were still at work behind the closed
doors of the Navigation Bureau.
Shortly before noon Secretary Long left
the Navy Department for the White House
and an official confirmation was made that
second dispatch from Commodore Dewey
had been received. The Secretary carried
this with him to the White House, and
pending the conference with the President
there was intense eagerness among the
waiting crowd to learn the contents of the
second dispatch. A senator who saw the
president secured q brief intimation that
Dewey's victory was overwhelming and
that he had large number of Spanish
prisoners in his possession.
At 1880 pm. Secretary Long came from
the Presidents private room with copy
of the second message from Dewey, but in
order to give equal facilities o,the great
crowd of people waiting to gain informa-
ton, he held it until he reached his private
office. Thep his secretary, Mr.. Finney,
brought the message to the large recep-
tion room, where a hundred or more
anxious newspaper correspondents and
as Mr.. Finney read 1t. 1t was as follows:
The Second Message
"CAVITE, May Along, secretary of
the navy: have taken possession OF the
naval station at Cavite, Philippine islands,
and destroyed the Notifications. Have de.
stroyed the Notifications at the bay en-
trance, paroling the garrison. control the
bay completely, and can take the city at
any time. The squadron is in excellent
health and spirits. The Spanish loss Is
not fully known but very heavy-15o killed,
including the captain of the Reina Chris
tina. am assisting in protecting the Span-
and wounded in the hospital within our
lines. Much excitement at Manila. Will
protect foreign residents. DEWEY"
Longs Reply
Following this Secretary Long gave out
his reply to Dewey, which has been cabled
by direction of the President, as follows:
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Dewey, Ma
nila: The president, in the name of the
American people, thanks you and your Of
ficers and men for your splendid achieve
ment and overwhelming victory. In rec
ognition he has appointed you acting ad-
miral and will recommend vote of thanks
to you by congress. LONG,"
AS the last words Of the dispatch were
uttered several of the on-lookers called for
three cheers for Dewey. They were given
with will, and the usual official serenity
of the Navy Department for the moment
was broken by round of cheers which fair
ly shook the building.
The herald., 1898-05-08

to what the policy of the administration
will be do not care to express any opin-
ion.'
"What kind of a government will be es-
tablished in the islands?'
ut will be military government for the
present, and will be a better government
than the natives have had for two hundred
years."
English Ideas
LONDON, May 1.-The Spectator in an
article today urges America to keep the
Philippine islands, to raise a colored army
of 10000 men, land with this effective Sc
poy army hold the Philippines, Hawaii and
Porto Rico, paying the army of occupation
cut of the local revenues"
Continuing, the Spectator says: with
such a garrison these islands would be as
safe as a drawing-room and as full of busi-
ness as Broadway or the Strand"
Referring to the outcome of the war,
the Spectator remarks:
''The Americans will emerge from the
war with new ideas and larger ambitions.
They will have defeated a second-class Eu-
ropean state and will feel acutely that, as
matters stand, they would have been de-
feated by first-class one. They could not
have fought France, to say nothing of
Great Britain. without suffering grave de-
feats at sea and enormous losses on land.
That is not the position which suits the
American temper, and Washington will
set itself to construct first-class iron fleet.
That once built, the desire for position in
the world equal to their position among ma
tions will compel them to abandon the idea
of non-intervention and change the Mon
roe doctrine into direct and effective pro-
tectorate Of the two Americas.
I'VE hope the Americans will keep the
Philippines. and that they can keep them
there is no doubt whatever. Europe, to put
the truth in its most brutal form, cannot
attack them without our permission"

THE SHIPS LOST
AS Shown by Records at the Navy
Department

WASHINGTON, May 7.-As soon as the
Navy Department had the complete list OF
the Spanish ships destroyed by Commo-
dore Dewey they turned to their data,
showing the character of those ships de-
stroyed, as 1T gave full idea OF tho ex-
tent of the devastation caused by the
American fleet Taking the list in the
order reported by Commodore Dewey, the
ships destroyed are as follows:
The Reina Christina, cruiser, single
screw bark rugged ship with one fun
nel displacement $3.50 tons, length $50 feet,
beam 43, mean draught Is feet. Arma-
ment nineteen Montori six-lnch and
four-inch guns, two machine guns and
five torpedo tubes, complement $40 men.
Castillo, built at Cadiz in 1887, single
screw, bark rigged, one funnel, cruiser,
displacemtn 3S42 tons, length 246 feet;
armament ten Krupp guns and four revolv-
ing torpedo tubes, complement 800 men.
Don Antoine de Ulloa, built at Caraca In
1887, iron cruiser, single screw, bark rig
ged, one funnel, displacement ITO tons,
length 210 feet; armament eight Honto-
ria guns, one machine gun, two torpedo
tubes, complement 173 men.
Isla de Cuba, built at Elswick in 1896,
otCSl uioCiB uOuplC oClCWb lWO-udSleu,
with military tops, length 1856 feet, dis
placement 1910 tons; armament twelve
guns, three torpedo tubes, complement l64
men.
General Lezo, built in Cartagena in 1887,
double screw, schooner rigged, length 1853
feet, displacement 526 tons; armament three
guns, three machine guns and one torpedo
tube, complement 9S men.
Marquis del Duro, built at Lase in 1876,
iron gunboat, double screw, schooner rig
ged, displacement 500 tons; armament three
guns, one machine gun, complement 9S
men.
The Ell Correo, supposed to be the Eel
Cano, that being the name given in the
data of the Navy Department She is an
iron gunboat of 525 tons, schooner rugged,
with three guns, three machine guns and
one torpedo tube, complement 9S men.
Valacso, iron cruiser, bark rugged, $40
feet long, 1889 tons displacement; arma-
ment five guns, two machine guns, COM
plement 173 men.
Isla de M. Mindano, transport, built In
1851, displacement 4195 tons.
The naval books at the department. do not
show Spanish boat of the name of Isla
de Ulloa. The nearest to the name is Don
Antonio de Ulloa. AS the latter is In
Dewey's list, 1T is probable that in tran
scribing the list two names have been
made out of the long one.

LANDED IN CUBA
To Perfect Arrangements for Insurg-
ent Co-Operation


KEY WEST, Fla, May 7.-(Copyrighted
1898, by the Associated Press.) Colonel
Octavia Giberga of the Cuban army, with
his brother Benjamin, who was for some
time secretary to Tomas Estrada Palma
president of the Cuban junta in New York
was landed on the north shore of Puerto
Principe province, on Thursday by the
converted cruiser Hamilton. Col. Giber-
ga and his brother bore important dis
patches from the junta to the government,
the seat of which is at Sancti Spiritus.
The landing was effected within short
distance Of one Of General Blanco's toy
forts, but no Spanish soldiers showed
themselves, and the officers Of the Ham
ilton believe the fort was deserted. BY
previous arrangement Colonel Giberga and
his brother were met by a party of Gu
bans at the landing place and escorted to
the capital Of the Cuban republic.
1t is believed the dispatches borne by the
Gibergas relate to the joint military op-
erations against the Spaniards. On her
way back the Hamilton passed Rear Ad-
miral SIMPSONS squadron.

beheaded him. The news is regarded as
authentic. Nothing is said of the fate of
the newspaper men accompanying him.
