. Washington, May 8.—-The Adminis-
tration will not arrive at a hasty de-
termination in respect to further mili-
tary and naval operations in ‘conse-
quence of the reports received from
the Philippines- The President hopes
to receive a definite report from Com-
modore De‘wey at an‘early enough date
to be of value in connection with the
operation of the fleets under command
of Admiral Sampson and Commodore
Schley.
The advices received from hostile
sources show clearly enough that Com-.
modore Dewey has utterly destroyed
the Spanish power in the Pacific, but
they do not know what damage, if
any, of consequence was done our own
vessels. ,
As this' is the first engagement our
modern war vessels have had. it is of
incalculable value to know exactly
how our vessels behaved and what
weakness they showed. Information
on this line will enable the command-
ers of our Atlantic squadrons to cor-
rect whatever defects may exist in the
new system of naval action and give
them confidence in the good qualities
of the modern war ships not heretofore
tested.
Beginning of the End.
A very strong belief prevails that the
Philippine victory is the beginning of
the end, and that prompt action at this
time will speedily bring Spain to
terms. The disturbed condition of af-
fairs in Madrid shows the desperate
straits to which the Spanish Govern-
ment has been driven, and it is con-
ceivedto ‘be possible that Spain will
not be in condition to prosecute the
war much further.
Civil strife at home will make it very
difficult for her to maintain herself
even for a short time, either on the
seas or in Cuba. The opinion is enter-
tained that if the Cape Verde fleet is
not already directly on its way to
Porto Rico, it willnever go there or
anywhere on this side of the Atlantic.
The fact, however, that the fleet on
leaving the Cape Verde Islands
steamed straight away toward Porto
Rico for twelve hours, renders it prob-
able that it continued on this course
and will arrive at Porto Rico.
If this is found to be the case, it is
believed that the war can be ended
with one bold ,stroke within a very
short time after it is positively known
that the fleet is coming this way. No
doubt whatever is felt that if the Span-
ish fleet will face an engagement we
shall be able to destroy it utterly.
Eneot' on Cuban Plans.
There is still some uncertainty as to
the effect the news from the Philip-
pines will have on the contemplated
invasion of Cuba. Some authorities
are strongly in favor of making; a
formidable invasion at once, at the
same time attacking the coast defenses
from our fleet, without delaying to as-
certain the movements of the Spanish
fleet.
Conservative opinion is that this
would be a hasty action, and the prob-
ability is that our plan, so far as the
invasion of Cuba is concerned, will not
be changed, but that the force of 5,000
men, or possibly more, will be landed
at a convenient point in Cuba within
two or three days to establish a base
of supplies and put themselves in com-
munication with the Cubans, as was
before contemplated.
The Cubans say that Gomez can have
his army ready to co-operate with the
fleet by to-morrow, andpwith the muni-
tions of war to be carried by the in-
vading army there will be no lack of'
arms and ammunition to insure a suc-
cessful land attack on the Spanish.
By that time it will probably be
known definitely where the Spanish
fleet is.
Decisive Battle Expected.
If it is at. or on its way to, Porto
Rico, 3. strong fleet composed of the
flying squadron and some of Admiral
Sampson’s squadron will be sent
against it to do battle. without any
fear as to what the result will be. The

F
British, Consul, Mr. E. H. Rawson-
~Walker. to convey a message to the
Spanish Governor General, demanding
'the surrender of all the torpedoes and
guns at Manila, and the possession of
the cable offices, saying that unless
these terms 'were complied with he
would proceed to bombard the city.
The first cable message ends with the
statement ‘that the Spanish ofiicials
' were conferring with the British Con-
sul and. the telegraph company’s agent,
and that, pending a decision being ar-
rived at.‘ the cables were not permitted
to handlegnessages. ,
The second ‘cable dispatch received
by’ the. Colonial Ofiice announced that
the Spanish Governor General had re-
- fused to surrender the torpedoes, guns
and cable offices, and that he had pre-
vented, the agent of the telegraph com-
pany from conferring with Commodore
Dewey. .
The message ended with the state-
ment that the British Governor of the
Straits Settlements expected that the
bombardment of Manila would be be-
gun on Monday morning, when the
Spaniards would cut the cable.
Cable Supposed to Be Got.
No other messages on the subject
have been received in London, 31-,
though the Foreign Oflice expected
news from the British Consul at Man-
ila. Therefore, it is supposed that the
expectation of the Governor- of the
Straits Settlements has been fulfilled,
and that the Spaniards have cut the
cable.
The officials here gather from the
fact that Commodore Dewey’s de-
mands are limited to the guns, torpe-
does and cable, that he does not con-
sider he has a force sufllcient to land
and occupy the town. '

The 7,000 Soldiers Now in Florida
Ready to Move on Cuba.
Tampa, Fla, May 8.—Eleven regi-
ments of infantry, one of cavalry and
ten light batteries of artillery are now
concentrated at Tampa and Fort Tam-
pa, about 7,000 men in all. It is gen-
erally believed in Tampa that this
force will be augmented soon by at
least two regiments of cavalry from
Chickamauga, besides the artillery.
The Plantsystem has notified the
Governmentthat the steamers Olivette
and Florida were at its service for use
as transports. ‘The Mascotte also will
be tendered; at once. These boats have
a capacity of‘1,800 men.

Temerario, which has been lying
around the vicinity of Buenos Ayres.
The keenest tnterest is taken in her

the extreme reticence of the naval au-
thorities the nature of the instructions
which have awaited her at Rio Janeiro
are not known. The prevalent belief,
however, is that her orders are to pro-

If, on the other hand. it shall be

able that the complete invasion of
Cuba will be hastened, and the capture
'of Havana and Matanzas will be un-
dertaken by the co-operation of land

ess possible. There will be no appre-
hension if the Spanish fleet has turned
back that it will at any time make an

Victory Wu- Overwhelming.
London, May 3.—The details of the
battlegof Manila have been received at
the British Colonial office. They came
in two cable messages, the substance of
which was furnished to the Associated
Press by the officials of the Colonial
Office. -_
The first dispatch announces that the
United States fleet entered Manila har-
bor at daybreak Sunday, stationing it-
self opposite the city. A fort opened
fire on the American ships, whereupon
they shifted their position to one near
Cavite, in Manila Bay, engaging in a.
fierce flght against both the forts‘and
the Spanish fleet.
The engagement lasted two hours,
and resulted in the annihilation of the
Spanish fleet. 1 .
This dispatch adds that the Ameri-
can ships withdrew to their magazine
vessel in the centre of the roadstead.-
for the purpose of coaling. ' . ‘
