LATEST PRESS
By Westers Prkss Association,
Washington, May 7. Following iff
the first official report received from
Dewey at the haw department:
"Manila, May 1. The squadron ar
rived at Manila at daybreak this morn
ing and immediately engaged the enemy,
and destroyed the following: Cruisers
Isla de Cuba, Reinn Christina, Bastilla,
Don Antonio do Ulloa, Don Juan de
AiiBtria, Velasco, gunboats Elicano,
Gen. Leso, Marquis Del Duedo, and the
aimored transport Iaa Mindano. The
American squadron is uninjured; only'
a few men slightly injured, 'fhe only
means of telegraphing is through the'
American consul at Hong Kon... I shall
communicate with him. Dewey."
Dewev'a report wa received at the
war department at C. in., ami was
broitgh t out of private office by Secre
tary Long and read by him to the crowd
watting in the hall. There were twelve
typewriter lines in the dispatch, but
the secretary read only four. He ex
pur gated the references to cable cutting
and lack of forces to laud at Manila J
which thu mesFage eon'ained. This he
probably did for prudence.
Further information is to the effect
that the Spanish batteries were com
pletely silenced. There was no loss of
life on tl e American aide and very little
injury to our vessel?.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, after
reading Dewey's dispatch, said to tiie
Western Press Association correspond
ent: "Dewey evidently hold the
bay of Manila. He covers the town
with his guns and is waiting for rein
forcements." New York, May 6. A special to the
Evening Journal from Key West, says
the French Atlantic liner Lif tyet'.e from
Havre was captured while trying to
enter Havana with contraband of war.
She was warned not to attempt to try it
and advised to go to Mexico. About
nightfall the ship made a second effort
to run the blockade am! was captured.
She in of 3,394 tons burden and her hull
is of iron, twin scrmvs.nml 330 feet long.
She was .boarded by officers ot the Wil
mington and Annapolfi and ordered to
fetnrn-Jto Ev;uice. jShestarted Jwck,
bnt later returned and trieto run tiiu
blockade but was again followed by tli.e
Aunapol.s who fired two solid she'Ifs
across her bow and finally captured lier
under the guns of More castle which did
not fire a shot. The schooners Antonio,
Saures and Orienta are also prixonurs.
Toronto, Canada, May fi. Senor Bar
nabu Polo, former Spanish mjnisier
to the United Status, leave here for
Madrid on account of the interuatinmi.
dissatihfaction among Americans. Sir
l'oncifote, repotted the matter to ivml
Salisbury that the United States gov
eminent had notified him that public
opinion as represented by the press and
many public men of broad views were
excited over the story of friendly cuu
try bordering on thu United States giv
ing shelter to a SpatiUh minister who
was in a position to givj v.duihle inf r
mation to Madrid Loid Salisbury put
the matter before the government re
sulting in Sir Polo being ordered to
leave the pi evince of Canada.
Berlin, May 0. The Emperor in a
speech from the throne before the
Beichstag today expressed satisfaction
that he had been able to place the Ger
man fleet upon a firm basis. The gov
ernment, he dectared, would do its duty
in the matter of observance of neutral
i y in the Hispaun-American war, but
would'' protect German commerce and
navigation fronvanv pH-dhlj inj iy.
Washington, May 8 Following n
the full text of Dewey's second report:
"Cavitk, May 4. I have taken pos
session of the naval station at Cavite.
Philippines, and destroyed its fortifica
tions. Have destroyed fortifications at
bay entrance and paioled garrisov. 1
control the bay completely andean take

in excellent health and spiiits. The
Spanish loss is not fully known, but
very heavy; 150 killed, including the
captain of thu Keina Christina. I am
assisting in protecting the Spanish sick
and wounded. Two hundred and Hftv
sick and wo.imlel in the hospital with

in Manila. Will protect foieigii, resi

Key West, May 7.' By cable it comes
direct from Havana that the people are
becoming gieatly incensed against
Spain every day because she does not
send tbo Capo Verdo fleet to make an
effort to lift the blockade. Capt. Gen,
Blanco forwarded a message of thu moU
I urgent character, but received only a
semi satisfactory reply. Inhabitants of.
inu neggaiuu cuy are so wrougiit up
that a demons tuition at tlitr capital is

DISPATCHES.
Washixotox, May 7. Nothing has
been received today by the administra
tion to indicate the whereabouts of the
Spanish fleet which left the Cape Verde
Mauds April 29, and proceeded in a
westerly direction. It is the belief at
tho navy department that the enemy
had in view the interception of the Ore
gon and Marietta has not been changed,
but it is now intimated that tho gov
ernment Would not be surprised if the
attempt to overcome the American
ships occurred at, the eastern extremity
of thn West Indiaa instead of off the
Brazilian coast, which was considerrd
the place of greatest danger to battle
ships and gunboats. While the govern
ment officials, who know the plans of
the naval campaign, will not give any
direct information, there ia every reason
to believe that Admiral Sampson is pro
ceeding to Porto Rico wijjth tho hope of
meeting the Cape Verde force in that
vicinity. No importance is attached in
naval circles to the report-that the Cape
Vede fleet was seen some where off the
Barbados, less than two days run from
Porto R co. The opinion at the navy
department prevails the vessels sighted
aic probably the Spanish cruisers ami
gunboats which ran awav from Cuba to
escajas Sampson. Sampson is now sup
posed to be after big Span.tsh armored
cr titers, and it is expected another ii
naval battle will be fought tomorrow
or Monday.
CmcAoo, May, 7. A special to the
TimesiHerald fro-n Washington says:
Admiral Sampson and his fighting
division of the Nortlj Atlantic squadron
are sailing toward Porto Rico to meet
the Spanish Armada and wipa it off the
ocean.
The blockadingdivUionof that squad
ron, under command of Commodore
WatFon, will maintain a patrol of, thu
Cuban waters with un relaxed vigilance
and keep Havana bottled up from the
outside world.
Commodore Schley's flying squadron
will maintain a vigil at Hampton Roads
and be prepared to ward off an attack
on the North Atlantic coast.
- -Jf theSpanis fleet, is discovered head
int for the waters of Porto-It.' or Cuba,,
uommouore &ciuey win Bcuriy souin 10
join Admiral Sampson and lake a hand
in crushing the enemy.
If the armada is reported as aiming at
the nppnr co.tst of the United States j
Admiral Sampson will turn northward
to join Coinmo lore Schley in hurling
the combined squadion against the
Spaniards.
Far'out, at sea are the St. Louis, Yale
and Harvard, scouring he Atlantic for
an eaily sight of the armada. They
will soon be joined by the St. Paul and
the instant the scouts catch sight of the
enemy it will fly to land or a rendezvous
in the ocean to give warning, to the ex
pectant American sendees.
Tho program is based on the assump
tion that tho Spanish flotilla, which left
Cape. Verde islands hist Friday, is sail
ing for American shores. When it left
St. Vincent, it was followed until sunset
by a ship which re(orted it making
about twelve knots an hour. If that
rate is maintained, the fleet should
i each Porto Ricotodav.
Washington, May 7. Tho following
telegram was sent by Seorotory Lon to
Commodore Dewey :
"The president in the name of the
American people thanks you and your
officers and men for your splendid
achievement and overwhelming victory,
in recognition of which he has appoint
ed you acting admiral, and will recom
mend a voto of thanks to you by
congress as a foundation for further
promotion. P. J. Long."
New York, May 7. Tho Post's noon
bulletin says the Spanish steamship
Fraeqnio has been captured.and taken
to Key West.
Washington, May 7.- There were two
dispatches from Dewey; one was not
made public. It told that the American
commander had cut thu cable, but tho
reason fortius action was not explained.
The probable icason for severing com
munication was that hu wanted to keep
the enemy from sending or receiving
advices to and from M idrid. The sec
ond dispatch also told that th" Ameri
can ships did not iiavo enough men to
form an adequatu landing partv. This
information was thu basis for an imme
diate conference between the president
and Secretaries Long and Alger about
sending troops to Maniia.
