Troops of the Cuban army of invas ion ana occupation are being concentra ted at Tampa, Florida, and Chicka mauga, Tennessee. United States dispatch boat Hugh McCullough arrived at Hongkong last Saturday night with dispatches from Dewey to the government. It is reported that a strong military expedition is being organized at Cadiz, and that it will shortly proceed to the Philippine island, escorted by the Cadiz fleet. The Spanish Atlantic fleet was last reported at Curacao island, near the coast of Venezuela, in the Caribbean sea, presumably endeavoring to reach Cuba from the South. The American fleet under Admiral Sampson, bomparded San Juan de Por to Rico on the 12th inst., reducing the chief fortress to ruins, but no attempt was made to take possession of the city. The latest reports of the naval battle at Manila show that the Spanish loss is greater than at first supposed. Ac cording to the best information obtain able so far, 321 were killed and 700 wounded. About 70,000 volunteers have now been mustered In under the presidents' call for 125,000, and it is expected that a second call for 75,000 or 100,000 more volunteers will be Issued within a week a large additional force having been rendered necessary by the decision to occupy the Philippines and Porto Rico.

A special from Washington, dated May 16, says: A big surprise awaits the Spanish Admiral if he sails for Martinique. There he is apt to find a squadron composed of the Oregon, Marietta, Buffalo, Nictheroy, Mont gomery, Yale and St. Louis. The lat ter have been sent by Admiral Samp sou to effect a junction with Captain Clark and remain near Martinique. Under orders the Oregon has been making rapid time since she left Bahia. We have another warship. Admiral Dewey captures the Callao and prompt ly adds it to his fleet. She came from the southern islands where she had been stationed for the last sixteen months. Her commander did not know that war had been declared and he had heard nothing on his way up about the battle at Manila. He steamed straight for Cavite, expecting to find the whole Spanish fleet anchored there. She is an iron gunboat of 208 tons, equipped with four modern guns and carrying a crew of 35. The ship was spick and span for Apmiral's inspection on arrival. The American flag was promptly hoisted on the Callao and she was added to Ad miral Dewey's fleet. She will be useful for river work. It is reported from Washington that at least 20,000 troops will be sent to the Philippines as soon as possible and that they will be followed by as many more if Spain undertakes to regain and hold possession. The same dispatch says: "The president fully realizes, too, that the present is the worst time in the year to send raw and unacclimated troops to the Philippines. The summer season there is just beginning, with its insufferable heat, carrying in its train disease and death. At this time of year, too, the plague, one of the most fright ful curses of the eastern country, sets in. The president has been warned that he must expect to lose at least a third of the troops who are sent to the Philip pines through heat and disease. The hot season, it is said, begins in March and lasts until June, while the wet sea son continues through July, August, September and October. The safe course would be to delay sending troops until October, yet necessity compels the immediate departure." Two Millions a Tear. When people buy, try, and buy again, it means they're satisfied.
