Notwithstanding the fact that every
body for several days had been in mo
mentary expectation of cable advices
from Commodore Dewey, Washington
was thrown into the wildest excitement
early Saturday morning by the
receipt of news announcing the ar
rival of the McCulloch at Hong-
Kong with dispatches for the govern
ment from Commodore Dewey. The
publication of newspaper dispatches tell
ing of terrible mortality among the Span
ish and the escape of the American
forces, men and ships, from serious in
jury added to the excitement and to the
intense satisfaction with which the long
expected news was received.
The State Department had the honor of
receiving the first news. It came in
the shape of a cablegram of three words
from United States Consul Wildman ut
Ilong-Ivong, and was us follows:
“llong-Kong. McCulloch. Wildman."
That is the usual form in which nava!
movements are reported by cable. The
naval officials were promptly notified nnd
awaited with intense interest the dis
patch which soon came from Commodore
Dew ey.
In brief, Commodore Dewey states that
he silenced the batteries at Manila com
pletely, that he cut the cable himself, and
that he has the buy and everything else
completely at his mercy. He has, how
ever, been unable to take possession of
the town of Manila for lack of men.
Dewey’s report further says that he de
stroyed eleven ships, that none of his
men was killed, and few injured, and
that the American fleet was not injured
at all.
Dewey’s Dispatches.
Secretary Long gave out the following
to the newspaper correspondents as
Dewey’s dispatch:
Manila, May l.~The squadron arrived
at Manila at daybreak this morning.
Immediately engaged the enemy and de
stroyed the following Spanish war ves
sels: Helna Christina, Castilla, Ulloa,
Isle de Cuba, General I.ezo, the Duero,
Correo, Velasco, Mindanao, one trans
port nnd the water battery at Cavite.
The squadron Is uninjured aud only a
few men were slightly wounded. The
only means of telegraphing Is to the
American consul at llong-Kong. I shall
communicate with him. DEWEY.
avlte. May 4.—1 have taken posses
sion of the naval station at Cavite on
the Philippine Islands. Have destroyed
the fortifications at the bay entrance,
parolltng the garrison. I control the
hay completely and can take the city at
any time. The squadron is In excellent
health and spirits. Spanish loss Is not
fully known, but is very heavy; 130 were
killed. Including the captain of the Iteiua
Christina. I am assisting In protect
ing Spanish sick and wounded. Two
hundred and fifty sick and wounded are
In hospital within our lines. Much ex
citement at Manila. Will protect for
eign residents. DEWEY.
Thanks of a Nation.
By direction of the President Secretary
Long, on receipt of Dewey’s report of
his achievement, sent the following cable
dispatch to the gallant Commodore:
“Dewey, Manila: The President, in
the name of the American i>eople, thanks
you and your officers and men for your
splendid achievement and overwhelming
victory. In recognition lie has appointed
you acting admiral, and will recommend
a vote of thanks to you by Congress.
_ “LONG.”
Fear Water Was Poisoned.
It is reported from the camp at’Tanij
that an attempt was made to poison the
water in the well from which the soldiers
draw their supply. A number of the
troops who drank the water were taken
sick, and it is the general belief (hat the
water was poisoned by a Spanish spy.
Hawaii Is to Wait.
It is understood the Hawaiian minister
has been advised that this country won’t
change its policy toward the Hawaiian
islands i tending congressional action on
annexation.
Supplies llfitreil for Dewey.
The Secretary of the Navy has ordered
Naval Constructor William 1,. Capps,
now at the Union iron works, Sau Fran
cisco, to proceed at the earliest moment
on the steamer City of Pekin, chartered
by lie Navy Department, to meet De*v
ey’s squadron at Manila. The purpose of
the department iu making this order is to
put Commodore Dewey's fleet at the ear

dition.

More than thirty thousand militiamen
are now gathered in camp at different
places in the States of the great central
West, awaiting orders from the chief
magistrate of the nation to march out
Into another conflict for liberty. Some of
the brightest and bravest specimens of
the young manhood of the country are
nnder the canvas tents of the several
places of bivouac, aud when the words,
“Forward, march,” echo down the line
it will l>e with “sgomess and alacrity that
they will buckle on their accoutrements,
bid good-bye to their friends and sot their
faces hopefully toward the scene of con
flict. In the meantime they are learning
the virtue of patience, and accustoming
themselves to the restraints of discipline.
A sojourn on a camping ground, every
nook of which is familiar from past ex
perience of summer encampments, is not
as adventurous ns the boys could wish,
and several of the nights since the mobil
ization movement began have been un
comfortably cold, but the submission to
orders and the enduring of physical dis
comfort is considered by the officers in
command to be very good training for
the soldiers.
It is not probable that even those in
whose brains the plans of war are con
ceived know as yet exactly how long the
troops will remain in their present camp
ing places. As rapidly ns the exigencies
of war demand their services they will
be moved to the front. It may happen
that victories decisive enough to ei and the
war will be won by the United States
fleet on the ocean, in which case it is
probable that the militia will not be taken
out of their respective States. Physical
examinations have been in progress late
ly in most of the camps. A large number
of men have been found unable to pass
the rather rigorous tests used, and to
their unbounded disgust nnd the regret,
of their comrades have been returned to
their homes. The remainder, being of the
required weight and height and five from
serious physical defect, arc taking the
oath of allegiance and being mustered
in as full-blown soldiers of the United
States army.

gOi every aspect than
I'UHIhI n 1 roops ever held and
nil seem to know it.
nual encampments
— in this city every
soldier of more than a year’s experience
knows just what is going to happen. He
knows the hours for each turn of duty,
what lie will have to do each day during
the week and just the day and hour camp
will be struck nnd the start made for
home. Here he knows nothing alanit it.
Neither does his captain nor his brigadier
general. What the morrow, the next hour
may bring no man knows. It may be an
order to move at once to Chickamauga.
It may be orders to return home. The
result of all this is a tense interest in
every move that is made. The next call
of the bugle may be for parade and it
may be the assembly for breaking camp.
Every soldier in the post feels that he
has responded to a call that means war
nnd is duly impressed with the gravity
of the situation whenever lie takes time
to think or talk it over.
Mud and rain in combination with cold,
raw winds laden with a chilly mist—wind
which blows the smoke from camp tires
twisting and writhing into the faces of
the cooks who bend over them. These
are the things which try the mettle of
soldiers, and all of these the men in camp
have had to struggle with. Add to them
the absence of sufficient blankets and
clothing and you can judge of the boys’
discomfort. In the cavalry there is one
blanket for every six men, and for twenty
men who came into camp with overcoats
there are eighty who rushed away from
home without them, trusting with a child
like and the tic confidence in the Lord
or the government to provide. In spite
of all this, sickness in the camp steadily
decreased.
Two hours was the average time con
sumed in making physical examination

of th‘ men. after which they take the
oath of allegiance for two years, or until
the end of the war. There were many
touching scenes at the Springfield armory
as the men were sworn in. They took the
oatli with right hands uplifted and heads
bared. The silence as this ceremony prog
ressed was deep and impressive. Men
who had failed to pass the physical exam
ination were marched into the officers’
quarters, that they might lie spared the
paiu of seeing their comrades pass Into
the volunteer service while they remain
behind. Those who failed to pass broke
down entirely and many of them wept
like children. Generally big, fine-looking
chaps were refused for one reason or an
other, and they gathered around their offi
cers and with streaming eyes tagged to
know why they had been rejected.
The first company to Ik- mustered into
the United States volunteers of Illinois
was L of the Fifth Infantry. Those men
came from Peoria. Company Gof Pekin
was the next to take the oath, and C of
Springfield the third. The regiments
mustered in the following order, seniority
of colonels being the test of precedence:
The Fifth, first: the Third, second; the
Sixth, third; the First, Col. Turner in
command, fourth; the Second, Col. Moul
ton’s command, fifth; the Seventh. Cob
Kavanagh's command, sixth; the Fourth,
seventh; the First Cavalry, Col. Young’s
command, eighth.

AMP McKinley at Des Moines is

One thing which helps to strengthen

for service sooDer than in some other
States is the fact that they have not been
pimpered, In r .eir annual regimental !
camps they have been kept on regular

side they had to provide it themselves.
They cave learned self-reliance.
The drills are about two hours long.
Regimental drills take place in the morn
ing and brigade drills in the afternoon.
The troops are rapidly getting into fine
form.
The first day the number in camp was
2,1188. It is now or r 3,200, and might
be several times that number if the vol
unteers could he accepted. The ivgi
inents will consist finally of 1,008 men
each, besides officers.
The raising of two batteries was assign
ed to Lieut. Hanson E. Ely, U. S. A.,
at present instructor in artillery practice
in the State University. This State has
not maintained any artillery in connec
tion with the National Guard, but its
practice has been taught in the univer
sity, agricultural college, S normal
school, lowa Wesleyan College in Mount
Pleasant, Cornell College in Mount Ver
non and one or two other places. The
students of these institutions have re
sp-.aded nobly to the call for volunteers.
1 riner artillerymen of the regular army,
eager to get back into the service, come
by the score to offer their services. Grad
uates of military schools have been heard
from. It will be necessary to secure 3(>i
men for the two companies. Fred Hol
stein, captain of the State University
battery, is in temporary command, but
Lieut. Ely will probably command one
of the batteries.
Thousands of visitors from all parts of
the State go to the camp daily. So many
soldiers have never been seen in one place
in lowa since the civil war.
Roast beef with gravy, chickens in va
rious styles, potatoes, onions, radishes
and fruits constituted the menu at the
dinner served to the soldiers in camp by
the women of Des Moines the other day.
Improvised tables were spread at the dif
ferent company barracks and the prettiest
girls in Des Moines acted ns waitresses.
Most of the companies passed resolutions
of thanks.
INDIANA.
Indianapolis correspondence:
HE camp of the Indiana National
I Guard near ludinnap

/•ySrAny.- -WtRA to all Classes. Every
lil * *** <> iirjljjvi ' s now perfectly
V '^V; system atiz e and and
yNC working in clock-like
./IT/ order. All the for
nudities of camp life
arc observed, and the discipline is prac
tically as rigid as though an enemy lay
encamped but a few miles away. Each
of the companies has from ten to twenty
new recruits, and there are six new com
panies in the camp, but distributed
through the four regiments. These are
rapidly being transformed iuto real sol
diers, and some of them are so earnest
and so deeply interested that, were they
uniformed, it would take an experienced
eye to distinguish them in the drills from
" T—— ~
the older members of the National Guard.
There are 5,400 men in camp, and some
idea of what it takes to supply their wants
may Ik: had from the following issue of
rations for a single day: Fresh beef, 0,375
pounds; pork, 1,350 pounds; bread, includ
ing hardtack and fresh loaves, 0,770
pounds; beans, 075 pounds; rice, 540
pounds; coffee, 503 pounds; sugar, 1,125
pounds; tea, 00 pounds; salt, 180 pounds;
pepper, 33 pounds; potatoes, 4,500
pounds; cabbage, 1,350 pounds; pickles,
1,200 pounds. The beans are furnished
ready baked ami the coffee comes to the
camp roasted and ground. Besides these
edibles nearly all the men buy pies and
fruit from peddlers, and none suffer for
any of the necessaries of life. Many do
their own cooking, but a majority hire
colored men to do it for them. Their
cooking utensils are limited to pots and
frying pans, and the cooking is done in
the open air and often when the dust is
flying.
The order to close the saloons and road
houses within one mile of the camp had
been ignored by the liquor venders, and
Gen. McKee ordered a detail of sixty inen
to visit places and close them. The de
tail acted promptly and the dealers were
notified that forcible possession would l>e
taken of their places if they were found
open again while the camp is in exist
ence.
Uni. George 11. Bennington of the First
Regiment met with an accident. He
mounted his horse io go to brigeiie head
quarters and the animal reared and fell
upon its right side, pinioning tin- colonel
to the ground. When he was extricated
his right leg was found to be broken
above the knee. He is now at the city
hospital. Cases of measles developed in
the camp.

In order to accustom the men to living
in ihe field each eomiumy is obliged to do
its own cooking, being provided with field
ranges, aud it is wonderful ho-T they man
age to get up meals with then in so short
a time. The cook details are kept busy.
No visitors are fed in camp, and their
presence is discouraged, as the boys had
to pass through a trying ordeal on leav

jpf'~ ~ --Im. near Lincoln have
11 e e n transformed
w ‘thin a week to a
place of rendezvous of
xvurlike men.
At the present time
between 1,500 nnd 1,-
GOO men are bivouacked in Camp Alvin
Saunders, so named in honor of Nebras
ka’s venerable former Senator aud terri
torial war Governor. They arc now
awaiting the orders of Gov. Holcomb,
who will turn them over to the Un-ted
States.
The transformation of the grounds from
the civil to the military has uot been
without excitement. On the whole, how
ever, the rendezvousing was long ago dis
counted, well planned and perfectly car
ried out. Brig. Gen. Bills was one of the
first to arrive, and military discipline was
quickly established.
In exactly forty-eight hours Gov. Hol
comb was able to telegraph the War De
partment that the Nebraska militia had
assembled to a man, aud awaited orders
for the mustering in as vo’unteers of the
Unit'd States army. Gov. Holcomb at
the same time laid claim to the distinction
of being the first State commander to
make such a report as going to prove the
efficiency of the Nc! it,ska guard.
Orders came from Washington for the
two regiments of State militia to move
to Fort Crook, near Omaha, to be mus
tered in.
The cold rains reduced the camp to a
sloppy condition, but Ihe men stood the
hardships with very little grumbling. The
number of men in the hospital has uot
increased, most of th<> sickness being had
colds. Three men have met with acci
dents that incapacitate them from fur
ther service.

ieads, the Second is a close second, and
the Fourth and First are crowding the
others. When it comes to field officers,
on the other hand, military experts rath

neither of the regiments has cause to
grumble in this regard, and neither will
admit that any other badger regiment is
any better equipped than they with offi

X'iolent Demonstrations Are Report

Many Killed or Wounded.
Dispatches indicate that the crisis in
Spain has become intensified. The queen
regent is rapidly losing the little popu
larity she has. and is now insolentij re
ferred to as “that Austrian woman.” It
is believed she would quit Spain ,t once
should she la-lieve that su--h : --u-p woui l
promote the iut<-rcs*s of the infant king.
Meanwhile the trouble in the provinces
increases and the rioting may Ik-cou:o a
revolution. Thus far u number of per
sons have been killed and wounded and
several buildings wrecked. In the finan
cial world all is chaos. Runs on banks
everywhere prevail, and the funds with
draw!- are being hoarded. The speech
of Lord Salisbury iu London enraged the
Spaniards. They discern that .\ith En
gland in sympathy with America the
other European powers will hesitate to
act for Spain.
The outlook in Madrid grows darker
every hour that passes. Reports of riot
pour in from the provinces, aud in most
eases there has been bloodshed. A se
rious disturbance occurred it Uuceres,
mid a siill more violent demonstration
took place at Leon, where large crowds
of women aud children paraded the
streets crying. “Give us bread or work.”
These para tiers were joined by large
numbers of men, and the disorder became
greater. The mob stoned the restaurants,
provision shops, and the houses of mer
chants, breaking doors and windows and
seizing everything they could lay hands
on. The civil guard called upon the
crowd to disperse, but the demand was
refused, whereupon the troops fired a
volley into the mob. A mob of 10,000
persons rioted at Helquist and plundered
houses on all sides. The police fired into
the crowd. Eight thousand miners, who
are on strike at Murcia, paraded the
streets shouting “Death to the thieves,”
“Down with the octroi dues.” The mob
tried to set fire to the railway station and
a number of other buildings, but was not
successful. The mob then marched on
Cartagena, but was intercepted by
troops, who fired upon aud wounded sev
eral of the rioters.
All these disturbances are due to eco
nomic causes, to the great dearth of
wheat and the consequent advance in the
price of bread, and the closing of fac
tories and workshops, owing to the com
plete paralyzutiou of trade and the pro
hibitive prices of coal and raw materials.
The government is adopting drastic meas
ures to keep food in the country. A bill
passed the eortes, to come into immediate
operation, totally prohibiting export of
wheat, flour and potatoes.
ARMY DEFICIENCY BILL,
Ills XVar Measure Hurriedly Pnsscd
by Both Houses of Congress.
Both houses of Congress Monday pass
ed the $30,000,000 deficiency appropria
tion war bill which contains several items
of interest. It appropriates $350,000 for
toria-do work aud $150,034 for the ex
penses of the Cuban expeditionary force.
The latter item is particularly significant
just at this time. XX'ith it was a fost
note from Maj. C-en. Miles urging thut
the fund was required with the least pos
sible delay, explaining that the $50,000,-
000 appropriation for national defense has
been allotted and there is no money avail
able for this particular object.
The Cuban expedition paragraph in
cludes $42,000 for “unforeseen contingent
expenses which involve immediate expen
diture for purposes of imperative urgen
cy;” $33,500 for portable electric outfit,
anil $12,005 for intrenching tools. The
largest item under any head is $10,000,-
000 for clothing, camp and garrison equip
age. The other big items were published

Scramble for Bread Abroad.
Chicago special:
The most sensational rise in wheat for
many years was scored on the Chicago
Hoard of Trade Thursday. May wheat
closed at $1.50 a bushel, or 20 cents over
Wednesday’s close, when 10 cents was
added. Excitement was ‘ tense. July
w heat closed at $1.02*., after going up to
$1.03.
A succession of sensational features, al
most unparalleled within the recollection
of veteran trade 1 ..- marked the session.
Cabled reports of half-starved and crazed
Inhabitants of the provinces of Spain and
Italy breaking through the ranks of arm
ed soldiers in a mad sera tub! • for bread
were officially confirmed on ’Change. Fol
lowing closely upon the heels of the
French removal of the iuqxirt duty on
wheat, Italy took similar action. "Bread
riots" were reported in Rome and the
provinces of Italy. Agitation was rife in
the German reiehstag for the removal of
the import duty by that Government, and
rumor had it that Russia is contemplating
the prohibition of grain exports.
M ar is only partially to blame for the
tension in the wheat market. Italy’s fam
ine cannot be regard*"i as due to the in
ternational encounter, and yet the streets
of Home arc pictured as thronged with
famished people vainly crying for bread.
1 he same cry is echoed in the provinces
of France. That the latter country is
very closely pressed was evident by its
taking the lead in wiping out the import
duty. In Hussia the small stocks are en
gaging the attention of the Government
with a view of restricting exports. The
German Government is now agitating the
removal of the duty on grain. Accord
ing to dispatches received the food situa
tion in Spain is fraught with the grea* t
of peril to the present dynasty.
While May wheat advanced in one
bound from $1.30 to $1.37 't the opening,
it relapsed with equal speed to $1.31, but
rallied back to $1.35 within two hours
after the opening. Just before the clos
ing hour it again soared when the high
figure of the day was reached. The dos
ing was at highest point, $1.50. The
excitement in the wheat pit was Intense.
July wheat was not tiehind in the pro
cession a nd made n record for the season
by selling up to the dollar mark. That
option closed Wednesday at 98%e, opened
Thursday at 99%c and was carried up to
$1.00% before sank back again to 99%0.
September wheat was Iso on the upward
grade.
Big: Jump in Liverpool.
Liverpool’s advance Thursday was over
8 cents a bushel. London also gave au
additional upward screw to the market.
One of the biggest surprises was the in
formation that Minneapolis had received
inquiries for wheat from Ilong-Kong.
Heretofore Hong-Kong has never been
compelled to conic further than San Fran
cisco. The Pacific coast is in the throes
of a wheat famine on account of the fail
ure of the crop there. San Francisco
advices say that all the wheat in that sec
tion of the country must he held for home
consumption and none can be sold for ex
port.
ARMY AND NAVY TERMS.
Information Useful to Those Who
Read the Newspapers.
Just now, when everybody is interested
in the movements of the army and navy,
the average reader is not unlikely to be
come confused with the multiplicity of
terms and titles employed in the news
papers. He may make the mistake, for
instance, of thinking that a captain in the
navy is the equal in rank of a captain in
the infantry, or that a captain in the in
fantry is a bigger man than a naval lieu
tenant. He may be interested to know
that there are two kinds of squadrons,
one which runs on laud and one which
travels on the water; that a regiment of
artillery consists of twelve batteries of
six guns each, and that a regiment of cav
alry is composed of twelve troops, two
or more of which form a squadron. The
relative rank of the officers of the army
and navy and the divisions in the forma
tion of these two branches of the service
are as follows:
Relative Rank of the Officers.
Army. Navy.
General, or comman-Admiral.
iler-ln-chlef. Vice admiral.
Lieutenant general. Rear admiral.
Major general. Commodore.
Brigadier general. Captain.
Colonel. Commander.
Lieutenant colonel. Lieutenant comman-
Major. der.
Lieutenant.
Captain. Master.
First lieutenant. Ensign.
Second lieutenant.
Divisions of the Army.
Squad—A subdivision of a company, com
manded by sergeant or corporal.
l’latoon—Half of a company, commanded
by a lieutenant.
Company—Not more than 100 men, com
manded by a captain.
Battalion—Four companies, commanded
by a major.
Regiment—Three battalions, tumn.nrded
by a colonel.
Brigade—Two or more regiments, com
manded by a brigadier general.
Division—Two or more brigades, command
ed by u major general.
Corps—Two or more divisions, commanded
by lieutenant general.
Divisions cl the Navy.
Squadron—A detachment of a fleet em
ployed on any particular service.
Flotilla—A fleet of small vessels.
Fleet—A large number of war vessels un
der one commander.
In view of the probable fact that much
of the present war news will come from
the sea, the terms used in naval affairs
are of particularly novel interest to an
inland people.

Responding to a resolution of inquiry
In regard to the enforcement of the liquor
law in Alaska, Secretary Gage sent a
statement to the Senate,-in which he says
that, notwithstanding the efforts of the
department, it is still a fact that the law
Is openly violated. It lias, he says, been
r 'Htrtod to the department that forty
saloons do business in Juneau, a town of
less than 4.000 inhabitants, while in
Sitka, which contains less than 1,000
white inhabitants, there are twelve open
saloons. "The universal public sentiment
in the territory,” says the Secretary, "is
bitterly opposed to the enforcement of the
liquor law, and the efforts of the officers
are met with intimidation, threats of vio
lence and attempts at bribery.” The See
rotary closes w ith the statement that it is
impossible to enforce the present law
against the existing public seutiment.

Officials of the money order department
ar*' somewhat at a loss to understand
why a formal prohibition should have
been issued forbidding the further ex
change of money orders between this
country and Spain, except upon the as
sumption that the order follows some pre
scribed form previously used. The fact
is, tiler* 1 has never been any interchange
of money orders between Spain and the
United States. The Spanish Govern
ment has shared with Mexico aud the
South American States the distinction of
never having sought to *tablish a money
order system within its own liorders, and
therefore has never been in u posit iou to

the United States.
