Secretary Long stated that he had sent
no direct answer TO Admiral Kcmpff, nor
was such an answer necessary in view of
the subsequent cabegram TO Admiral
Remey at Manila. The re-enforcements
in the shape of 100 additional marines
which will come 10 him from Manila in
the course of a week would indicate the
departments position sufficiently. II will
take the Solace a full week to make the
trip, according 10 the estimate Of the ma
val officers, for il is about 2,O00 miles from
Manila to Taku.

for re-enforcements, for he was author
lied last week 10 caH upon the United

Thar The oregon also may supply another
