Dispatch Of Admiral Dewey
Is Lacking in Details Of

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The dispatch
from Admiral Dewey regarding the
capture by Nlipinos of Lieutenant Gill
more and IA men caused much excite
ment in naval circles as soon as its con-
tents became known. It was received
late in the day. and considerable, delay
was occasioned by the blindness Of some
of the cipher words. It was impossible
to completely decipher it and the aster-
isks indicate the unintelligible words
The dispatch is as follows: T.. j. =
; yorktown visited Baler, Luzon, east

purpose of rescuing and bringing away
the Spanish forces consisting of 80 SOL

First Blow to the Navy.
The capture of the Yorktown's men
was discussed with much feeling in
naval circles. The misfortune was felt
with added keenness as the navy has
prided itself thus far on immunity from
reverses. The admiral's dispatch was
tho first knowledge the department had
that the Yorktown had gone on this
special mission to relieve the Spanish
garrison. at Bsler. That the capture
should have been effected while the
American forces were on mission of
mercy toward the Spaniards rather than
in the prosecution Of the campaign led
to the belief that Spain would have no
further ground for,questioning the good
faith with which the Americans were
seeking to relieve the condition Of the
Spanish prisoners.
Anxiety for Their Fate.
Although the dispatch gave no indi.
cation that Lieutenant Gilmore and his
men had lost their lives, yet great anx-
iety was aroused by the mystery sur
rounding their fate while in the hands
of an. unoivilized enemy: This is the
first capture of any Americans, military
or naval, so that it 10 unknown how the
insurgents will treat our men. IF civil:
lied methods were pursued an exchange
could be quickly effected, as General
Otis has q large number of Filipino
prisoners, but the insurgents have been
averse thus far to exchange Spanish
prisoners and this raises question as to
what they will do with tho Yorktown's
men. The purpose of officials here is to
spare no effort to secure the speedy re-
lease Of our men.
