NO NEWS FROM DEWEY.
Government Expects to Hear From
Him Soon.

! Washington, May s.-Today passed
without q single word from the Ameris
can fleet in the Philippines, and in view
Of the long continued interruption in
cable commun ication, the officials are
beginning to resign themselves to the
belief that they must wait for official
ne until a boat arrived at Hong Kong.
This will not necessarily be naval yes
sci, for it is not believed that Commodore
Dewey, who will be Admiral as soon as
he can be reached by cable, could have
pared any of his ships, even the Nc
Culloch to carry dispatches before the
bombardment. In ordinary times there
is plenty of communication by steamers
as well as by native vessels between the
Philippines and the main land and tina
officials will be rather surprised if some
news is not coming by this means by to-
morrow.
If Commodore Dewey wants troops to
hold what.he may gain in the Philippines
he will be sent as many as he needs d.
likely that state volunteers will make
up the quota The cabinet talked about
this today and is only waiting to hear
from Commodore Dewey as to what be
wants. Meanwhile the plars of the
Cuban campaign are being steadily de-
yeloped and there is no indication of q
change of purpose on the part of the
military authorities who are expected to
land an expedition force in Cuba in a
very short time
Admiral Sampson so far as the navy
department. knows, is steadily maintain-
ing the blockade of the Cuban coast and
this is not likely to be abandoned for the
present Though TWO or three of his ships
may be sent away temporarily to meet
the Oregon on her way to Cuba from Rio
de Janeirc. While the officials of the
navy department. naturally feel a warm
interest in this race of the magnificent
battleship around the continent they
profess to feel little anxiety as to the out
come, notwithstanding the current talk
of an effort on the part of the Spanish
flying squadron to cut off the Oregon.
The vessel sailed from Rio on a course
known only to the captain and the
chances of being oyertaken on the high
seas are very small. Even should the
Spanish vessels fall in with her, it is by
no means certain Notwithstanding their
numbers, that she would be defeated by
tbs combined Spanish force, as her mag
nificent armor and ordnance are superior
In every respect, size and quality to
those of the Spanishsships.
The proclamation directed against the
Spanish residents of the United States
BY the State Department has not yet been
issued, nor is it certain that 1t will issued;
that probably depending upon the course
pursued by the Spanish government in
its treatment OF American citizens in
Spain. China issued her neutrality pro-
clamation today, SO there is now no place
left on the Asiatio coast, open to the frea
use of war vessels of either Spain or the
United States, This is remarkable in

ing to arouse political passions.
Marshal Campos offered the government
his unconditional support.
Mgr. Herrera, cardinal archbishop of
Santiago de Compestel, said he spoke
because he desired to ''Stls sp the pub
lie mind against TIE eowaNiiy Ameyi-
cans" He declared chat the Spanish nu-
tion was the victims of the power of
gold."
An incident of the discussion was ths
spectacle of such strange companions as
Senior Salmeron, voting with Senior
Mella, the Carlist, and Senor Romero
Roblsdo, the Conservative.
1t caused another member to cry ironic-
ally "good company" Senior Robledo
quickly retorted ''good Spanish COM
pany."
1t is believed that the government in
tends to close parliament the moment the
budget is voted. Senior Caset's proposal
to vote oensure upon the government is
| likely to produce warm debate. The
minority, though small, is in possession
of brains far above the average of the
deputies.
