WAITING FOR BIG BATTLE
Washington Anxiously Expects 3
Conflict Between Sampson and the
Spanish. Fleet—Will Probably Bot-
tle Up the Spaniards at San Juan—
Ex-Secretury Herbert’s Views on
the' Situation. ‘
Washington, May 10,—The most in-
ense int: It is shown in naval, mili-
ry and a 'Ieral Administration circles
the errondof Admiral Sampson.
For the fli'st time since the war be-
‘ an the Navy Department has consent-
d to give some information about the
position of the vessels under Samp~
Ion's‘eommand. The information given
Is-meagre,enough. It is merely to the
effect that Sampson’s battleships, mon-
Itors and sOme of the cruisers are off
the north coast of Hayti,
This sta‘tenlent is based on advices
from Admiral Sampson on Saturday,
carried by. the Montgomery to Cape
Haytlen; Whence they weré telegraphed
to Washmcton.
The squadron is proceeding very
lowly. It was not officially admitt'ed,
ut a reporter was told by an author-
lty that the Navy Department expect-
ed tohear from Sampson on or before
Thursday next.
This indicates that the department
anticipates a naval engagement off San
Juan, Porto Rico, where Sampson’s
ships will be to-morrow, if the present
rate of progress is maintained.
Nobody here who knowswlll tell the
pro ammo mapped out'for Sampson,
but ere is good reason for the asser-
tion that the plan contemplates the
bottling up of the Spanish fleet in the
harbor of San Juan.
The channel entrance is narrow and
the enemy's vessels could be obliged to
come out to meet Sampson in single
1110. With the monitors stationed at
the entrance. and the other American
ships waiting outside, there would be
little chance of the enemy escaping.
It’s a. curious fact that thus far the
Navy Department does not know posi-
tively where the Spanish fleet is, and
it Is just possible that the vessels may
be away over on the other side of the
Atlantic, or at Cadiz, instead of being
In Sampson’s neighborhood in the West
Indies.
Ex—Secretary of the Navy Herbert,
when asked by a correspondent if he
thought Capt. Sampson’s ’fleet would
meet the Spanish squadron Off Porto
Rico, said:
"It is my opinion that the Spanish
fleet has left the beaten track and gone
after the Oregon. However, the
chances of a battle between our fleet
and that of Spain are good, although it
may ,not come off for a. few days yet.
Spain is desperate and has a strong
fleet, and it seems to me that, in view
of this fact, it will do no harm to have
the Massachusetts and Texas with
Capt. Sampson’s other vessels. The
more ships we have, the easier will be
our victory.”
Our Scout Ships at Porto Rico.
Madrid, May 10.—A cable dispatch
has been received here from the Cap-
tain General of Porto Rico saying that
three suspicious looking vessels are
hovering in the offing.” He adds that
the United States fleet is approaching
Porto Rico. . .
Governor General Macias of Porto
Rico cables the Government that a
Spanish merchant steamer was pur-
sued by an American armed transat-
lantic liner, but escaped, with the aid
of Spanish men of war.‘
A dispatch from Rorto Rico says a.
“good fighting spirit” prevails there,
thanks to the munitions brought by
the cruiser Alfonso XIII, and the
strong fortifications.
The dispatch says that the Spanish
merchantman which escaped from the
armed American liner was the steamer
Paulina, which has arrived at San
Juan de Porto Rico. The Paulina first
took refuge in Port Fajardo, from
which point a Spanish warship chased
the American eastward.
May Have More \Vork to Do.
London, May 10.——A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Hong Kong says a.
communication from Manila. asserts
that the Spaniards are still arrogant
and not likely to surrender until the
city is blown to pieces. A telegraph
operator has gone with the McCulloch

The Champion Says- He Will Fight
Both Corbett and McCoy.
Boston, May 10.--Bob Fitzslmmons
has announced his acceptance of the
offer of Kid McCoy to fight the cham-
pion for $10,000 in a cOntest at middle-
weight, and also his acceptance of the
offer of James J. Corbett of $25,000 for
an opportunity to regain the heavy-
weight championslfip.
Fltzsimmons will meet either man
before the regularly organized club of-
fering the largest purse, but he will in-
sist one side bet Of $10,000 in each case,
and both matches must take place be-
fore Sep. 1. of this year.
This announcement is accompanied
with the offer of Julian, Fitzsimmons’
manager, and the prize fighter himself
to "bet $2,500 that neither McCoy nor
Corbett will make good his. offer.
Denver, COL, May 10.—Aft.er reading
the Associated Press dispatch from
Boston, announcing that Bob Fitzsim-
mons had accepted his offer of $25,000
for an opportunity to regain the heavy—
weight championship. James J. Corbett
sent the following dispatch to W. A.
Brady, his, manager, who is in New
York City:
“Go after that man (Fitzsimmons)
and make my offer to him again—$25,-

and put up some money. Show him
up.”
To Be Tried as a. Spy.
Washington, May 10.——George Down-
lng, the former sailor on the cruiser
Brooklyn who was arrested here on
Saturday night by John 'Wilkle, Chief
of the United States Secret Service,
will be tried as a spy. The War De-
partment has taken charge of the case
and the charges are being prepared in
the office of the Judge Advocate Gen-_
era]. The trial will be by a. military
commission to be selected by Secretary
Alger. Downing is confined at the
Washington barracks under a strong
guard and no person is allowed to see
him. The barracks is famous as the
place Where Mrs. Surratt, an accoma
plice of Booth, was imprisoned during
her trial.
Postmasters Must Keep Silent.
Washington, May 10.—Postmaster
General Emory Smith has issued the
following order:
“All officers and employes of the Post
Office Department are hereby forbid-
den to furnish information pertaining
to or in any way bearing upon the con-
duct of the war to any person or per-
sons not connected with the, depart-
ment or to any newspaper or other pub-
lication unless authorized to do so by
the head of rthe department.”
This order was made for the purpose
Of preventing postmasters from giving
information in regard to suspicious let-
ters passing through their offices. Such
information, it is thought, may in some
instances be incorrect, and in others
prejudicial to the interests of the Gov-
ernment. . '
To Arm Cuban Volunteers.
Washington, May 10.—Yesterday the
House passed the Senate bill providing
for the enlistment of inhabitants of
Cuba in the army of the United States,
accepting the services of Cuban volun-
teers and relieving destitute Cuban
women and children. This means that
arms and ammunition can now be fur-
nished by the Government to all the
armies of Cuba, and that co-Operatlon
from Gomez and his forces can be ex-
pected as soon as they can be reached.

THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Senator. Lodge Introduces and sen-
ute Passes Resolution Authorizing
the President to Present a. Sword
to Dewey and Medals to Officers
and Men Who Participated in the
Battle.
Washington, May 10.—The President
yesterday sent the followingmessage
, to Congress:
To the Congress of the United States:
On the 24th of April I directed the
Secretary of the Navy to telegraph
orders to Commodore George Dewey,
of the United States Navy, command-
ing the Asiatic squadron, then lying in
the port of Hong Kong, to proceed
forthwith to the Philippine Islands,
there to commence operations and en-
gage the assembled Spanish fleet.
Unlted States squadron, consisting of
the flagship Olympia, Baltimore, Ra.-
leigh, Boston, Concord and Petrel,
with the revenue cutter McCulloch as
an auxiliary dispatch boat, entered the
harbor of Manila. at daybreak on the
lst of May and immediately engaged
the entire Spanish fleet Of eleven ships,
which Were under the protection of the
fire of the land forts. After a. stub-
born flght, in which the enemy suffered
great loss, these vessels were destroyed
or completely disabled and'the water
battery at Cavite silenced. Of our
brave ofl‘lcers and men. pot one was
lost, and only eight injured, and those
slightly. All of our ships escaped any
serious damage.
By the 4th of May Commodore Dew-
ey had taken possession of the naval
station at Cavite, destroying the forti-
fications there and at‘the entrance of
the bay, paroling their garrisons. The
waters of the bay are under his com-
plete control. He has established hos-
pitals within the American lines, where
250 of ._the Spanish sick and wounded
are assisted and protected.
The magnitude of this victory can
hardly be measured by the ordinary
standards of naval warfare. Out-
weighing any material advantage is
the moral effect of this initial success.
At this unsurpassed achievement the
great heart of our nation throbs, not
With boasting or with greed of con-
quest, but with deep gratitude that
this triumph has come in a just cause,
and that by the grace of God an effec—
tiVe step has thus been taken toward
the attainment of the wished for peace.
To those whose skill, courage and de-
votion have won the fight, to the gal-
lant commander and the brave officers
and men who aided him, our country
owes an incalculable debt.
Feeling as our people feel, and speak-
ing in their name, I at once sent a mes-
sage to Commodore Dewey, thanking
him and his oflicers and men for their
splendid achievement and overwhelm-
ing victory, and informing him that I
had appointed him an Acting Rear Ad-
miral.
I now recommend that following our
national precedents and expressing ”the
fervent gratitude of every patriotic
heart, the thanks of Congress be given
Acting Rear Admiral George Dewey,
of the United States Navy, for highly
distinguished conduct with the enemy,
and to the officers and men under his
struction of the enemy’s fleet and the
capture'of the enemy’s fortifications
in the Bay of Manila.
WILLIAM M’KINLEY.
Executive Mansion, May 9, 1898.
Both House and Senate promptly
passed a resolution of thanks and a bill
creating an additional rear admiral,
thereby making provision for. the pro-
motion of Dewey. The text of the res-
olution of thanks is as follows:
"Joint resolution , tendering the
thanks of Congress to Commodore
George Dewey, United States Navy,
and to the officers and men of the
squadron under his command.
“Resolved, By the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States
of America, in Congress. ,assembled,
that in pursuance of the recommenda-
tion of the President, made accord-
ance with the provisions Section
1,108, of the Revised Statutes, the
thanks of Congress and of the Ameri-
can people are hereby tendered to Com-
modore George Dewey, U. S. N., corn-
mander-in-chief of the Asiatic station,
for highly distinguished conduct in
conflict with the enemy, as displayed
by him in the destruction of the Span-
ish fleet and batteries in harbor of
Manila, Philippine Islands, May 1,
1898.
“See. 2. That the thanks of Congress
and the American people are hereby
extended through Commodore Dewey
to the Officers and men under his com-
mand fOr the gallantry and skill exhib-
ited by them on that occasion.
“Sec. 3. Be it further resolved that
the President of the United‘States be
requested to cause this resolution «to be
communicated to Commodore Dewey,
and through him to the officers and
men under his command.”
The following is the bill passed by
Congress raising the number of ad-
mirals from six to seven to provide for
Commodore Dewey’s promotion:
“Section 1. That the number of rear
admirals in the United States Navy
now allowed by law be and is hereby
increased from six to seven, and this
act shall be construed and taken as
validating and making in force and
effect any promotion to said rank of
rear admiral in the United States Navy
made heretofore or hereafter and dur-
ing the existing war and based on the
thanks of Congress.”
Senator Lodge presented 'and the
Senate passed a resolution authorizing
the President to present a sword to
Dewey and medals to officers and men
under him who were in the battle at
Manila. It appropriates $10,000 for the
purpose. '
The resolutions of thanks to Dewey
passed the House unanimously on a

Men do not - acquire their better
halves nowadays in civilized nations as
the result of the tossing up of a coin
or the cast of a die, nor are English-
men in the habit of taking their
spouses with a. halter round their neck
to Smithfield, and there sell them by
public auction to the highest bidder.
0 Russia, however, seems to form an
exception, if we are to believe an ad-
vertisement relative to a. lottery for
which tickets can be bought for about
a rouble each in the town of Smolensk.
There is only one prize to be drawn,
and it consists of the entire sum yield-
ed by the sale of the tickets, amount-
ing to 5,000 roubles, together with a
lady described as of noble blood. The
tickets are sold only to males, and the
lucky drawer of the prize will have to
marry the damsel if he takes the 5,000
roubles. If, however, he be already
married, he is at liberty to turn over
the money and the lady to any friend
whom he may wish to put in for such
a good thing. If the winner should be
willing to marry, but is not found to
the damsel’s taste, then they are to be
dispensed from matrimony, and per-
mitted to divide the roubles.
We surmise that, unless the prize-
winuer should happen to be an eligible
young bachelor, the spinster will pre-
fer the last method of settlement, the

as being not only no longer young, but
