Effort to Organize Another Regiment
From Mountain States.
UTAH BOYS ONLY CHANCE
ENTITLED TO ANOTHER TROOP,
UNDER THE CALL.
But the War Department Thinks the
Torrey Troop Should Be Included
In the Quota-Colonel Torrey
Takes a Different View-Eforts of
Utah Congressman.
Washington Office of The Herald,
1915 G. Street, N. W.

Washington, May 6.-The Utah sena-
tors and Representative King are en-
deavoring TO secure the use of two
troops of cavalry from Utah. Senator
Cannon is actively engaged with Sena-
tor Carter and others in an effort to
get another cavalry regiment from the
mountain states. AS at present ar
ranged, only one Utah cavalry troop is
certain to be used. and that is the one
that will go with Colonel Torrey.
, Notwithstanding the hard work be-
ing done by the promoters of the plan
for an additional regiment, it is not re-
garded as probable that its services will
be utilized. If not, Colonel TOrrey will
probably have the services of the only
cavalrymen from Utah. The Utah SEN
ators believe the state is entitled, I'M
der the presidents call, to a troop out
side of the one furnished to Torrey's
regiment.
Judge King called on Secretary Aiger,
the adjutant general and quartermaster
general and Colonel TOrrey this after
noon. The impression of the depart
Inent officers seems to be that the Tor
rey troop viii exhaust the Utah quota.
Colonel Torrey explains that he does
not regard his company as in any way
interfering with the regular Utah quota,
for his regiment is wholly independent
of the $4,000 call. but there appears
little chance for the extra Utah troops
in case the proposed additional regi-
ment fails 10 materialiZe.
CANNON AFTER THE TRUSTS.
Senator Cannon this afternoon intro
duced a resolution providing that the
committee on manufactures be author
lied and directed to investigate and
report whether or not combinations or
trusts in manufacturing are operating
in the United States; whether or not
they are fostered by the existing tariff
law; whether or not they are to the
public advantages; whether or not their
character is such as to bring them
within the scope of the prohibitOry
laws, and if so why they are not pros
ecuted and dissolved. He endeavOred
to secure immediate consideration for
the resolution, but Senator Quay inter-
posed an objection and it went over.
There is no doubt of the adoption of
the resolution at a later date.

WHAT'S HAPPENED To DEWEY.
Dispatch Boat McCullOch Will Reach Hong Kong
Today With Most Important News.
Spanards Continue to Send Out Alarming Stories Concern
ing the Fate Of the Commodore and HIS Fleet.

London, May 6.-The Exchange Tele-
gram company asserts on the highest
authority that the United States dis
patch boat Hugh McCulloch, which
reached Mrs Bay, near thong Kong, a
few days ago, heard of the victory Of
Commodore Dewey's squadron, and
hurried back to Manila for dispatches.
1t is further said that the McCulloch
cannot get back to Hong Kong until
tomorrow, when she is expected to have
most important news.
Washington, May 6.-After another
day of waiting in the navy and state
departments, the doors were again
closed in the evening without VOID
from Commodore Dewey, or any other
reliable source as to what happened at
Manila after the cable broke. During
the course of the day there were ru-
mCrs that the cable communication had
been restored, but these were soon seen
to be baseless and the excitement sub
sided One comfort the officials take
in the situation, although it is of
negative character, is that the lack or
communication is a probable evidence
that the Spaniards, at least, are not In
control at Manila, else they would
speedily communicate that fact to the
rest of the world through the cable. ii
the delay means anything, 1t is believed
not to be more serious than that Com
modore Dewey has been delayed In
carrying out fully his plans tor the
occupation of Manila. In other words,
it may not have been possible for the
commodore, within the short space OF
two days, to effect the destruction OF
the Spanish fleet, the silencing of the
forts at Cavite, the seizure of Cor
regidor Island, the capture of Manila,
and finally, the restoration of cable
communication. IL he has been delayed
beyond Tuesday or Wednesday in car
rying out this extensive programme, it
is not at all surprising that ne has not
been heard from through a dispatch
boat.
The state department is in close touch
with Consul Williams at Hong Kong,
who is expected to supply the earliest
possible news from the Philippines. The
only message received from the consul
today was one informing the depart
ment that four families of refugees
from the Philippines had petitioned for
admission to United States citizenship,
something manifestly impossible for the
consul to grant, under the naturaliza
ton laws. 1t is barely possible that
the first news to come may be through
British sources, inasmuch as all British
cable Subventions contain a clause CIV
ing the British government the prece-
dence in the use of the cable in any
emergency.

TORPEDO WIRES REPAIRED.
Dewey Unable to Escape From Ma
Mia Bay.

New York, May 6--A special to the
Journal from Montreal says: A special
to La Presse from Madrid states that
Commodore Dewey's squadron could
only get an entrance into Manila bay
by first severing the wires connecting
the submarine torpedo system with the
forts. This having been done, Dewey
had no difficulty whatever in doing
what he did, that is, to sail into the
bay as on the high seas.
The special then goes on, saying that
he engaged the Spanish squadron with
the result as told. But it appears that
during the fight the Spanish authori-
ties set to work reconstructing the
wires under the fire of the American
warships. The severed wires were
patched so quickly that before the fight
was over no ships could move any more
in the bay, without the greatest DANCE
of being blown up.
Now, says the special to La Presse,
this Startling piece of news reached

WE HAVE THE PLANS.
What Our Consul Carried Away From
Las Palmas.

Liverpool, May 6.-Steamers arriving
here today from the Canaries report that
the United States consul at Las Palmas
left suddenly with plans of Las Palmas
harbor.
They say, also, that there are 1900
Spanish troops in Grand Canaria alone,
under General Sugara. Every Spaniard
and Canarian had been pressed into the
service and the business of fruit packing
was left to the women.
Notifications were rapidly being con-
strucJed, and a new fort on the hillside
at Las Palmas, facing the sea, will mount
heavy guns. The military authorities

HARD FIGHT PREDICTED.
Spanish Soldiers Expected to Defend
the Islands

London, May THE Madrid correspon-
dent of the Standard says:
MANY Spanish generals with consider
able experience in Cuba, with whom Senior
Sagasta has consulted, assure him they
are confident that General Bianco in Gu
ba and General Macias in Porto Rico, can
hold on. and make their respective islands
very uncomfortable for the invaders as
LONE as the supplies of stores and NUM-
tons of war last. even if the Americans
should meet with some success in the
bOmbardment of ports
THE Spanish generals have absolute
confidence in their ability to defeat the in
surgents, directly the latter cease their
guerilla warfare and come into the open,
upon the plains or near the cities.
They seem equally persuaded that their
troops, seasoned with several years of
campaigning in Cuba will also face the
Americans very cTeditably. Military men
like the West Indian Representatives look
grave and pre-occupied when the ques-
ton of communication between the colo
MES and Spain and the duration of the
blockade is mooted, and they do not deny
that they think the Spanish navy must be
the principal factor in sustaining the
power Of Spanish resistance to America
and the insurgents

POSSESSION OF PHILIPPINES.
No European Intervention Until War
Is Ended


London, May 6.-The Daily Chronicle
Paris correspondent says: Arrange
ments between England and the United
States on the subject of the Philippines
are looked upon in the best informed
circles here as already settled. No
other conference is considered neces-
sary until the war has been brought to
an end either by force of events or by
the anicable Intervention of Europe.
Austria is indicated as taking the
initiative in mediation, but in diplo-
matte circles, a conference of the
powers is considered as the only
practical solution of the problem which
touches the mission of Europe in the
far east. 1 have reason to believe that
England would only take part In such
a conference with the United States by
her side and that hesitation on the part
of the government of the latter power
would be shown to a choice of Paris as
the place of meeting.
