The conviction is growing in the State and Navy Departments that the accounts which have so far been received of engage- ments greatly minimize the achievements of the American fleet.

MARIE JAMES completely in his undertaking and has ac- complished everything that was expected of him and included in his orders. It is noticed that in one sentence the re- port speaks of the commodore landing his wounded. This is regarded as_a very sig- nificant statement. It is not supposed for an instant that the admiral abandoned his weunded to the enemy, and the only sane inference that can be drawn 1s that he placed them In proper shelter on shore un- der a guard from the United States fleet, and is pre ed to pre t with the guns of the fleet the landing place. Thus it ap- pears that Commodore Dewey has crushed the Spanish fleet, the prime object of his expedition, and relieved American com- n.erce in the Paci from the dread of cap- ture, while in addition he has placed his feet on Spanish soil and holds a position ushore which may be developed into a pase of supplies for his fleet, which will thus have found a legitimate home.

Manila has a population of 160,000 peo- ple, so that it would probably be very ¢iffi- evlt for Commodore Dewey to spare erough men from his fleet to maintain pos- session of the town unless he can arrange to secure the support of the insurgents, with whom he is understood to be in com- munication. It was not expected that the commodore would bombard the town to- day, if at all, for it w: d at the State Department that except in a great emer- gency, he would follow the dictates of in- ternational law and give notice of from twenty-four to forty-eight hours of his in- tention to begin a bombardment in order that non-combatants might retire from the danger to which they would be exposed. Because of the large English and German interests In Manila, it was rot doubted that the commodore would give this notice as niatters now stand. Credit Due the Department. While filled with gratification that he made no attempt to conceal, Secretary Leng received the detailed information of the engagement yesterday very cooily. Without showing the least disposition to detract from the glory that had been won by Dewey and his cap the Secretary naturally felt that no small share of the victory should be charged to the directing forces in the department, which had so cerefully and painstakingly laid the plan for Dewey's campaign. After speaking in terms of the highest commendation of the ecmmodore’s work, Secretary Long said: “The American fleet has come up to what was expected of it. Its success shows that it was not a rash undertaking on the part of the department to send the ships to Manila under such command as Dewey's, with his captains and with his men.

The ac- tion of the Navy Department in ordering this movement seems to be thoroughly Sustified.” Coal and Ammunition on Hand, Naval bureau chiefs who have charge of equipping the fleets with ammunition and coal believe that Commodore Dewey's en- chine guns are situated, and | gagement vesterday did not deplete his stock of projectiles, der,jcoal and other necessary supplics tof any berious extent, and that he has ample supplies of this vital character to cafry on such further operations as,may be necessary. The bu- reau of equipment loos after the coal sup- ply of the ships. Of course, no exact fig- ures can be made as*to how much coal Cemmodore Dewey's fieet_has consumed since leaving Hong Kong, the middle of last week. It is know}y that the ships hed full bunkers when thty lett Hong Kong, and, speaking generally, it is said that no matter how great the consumption of fuel has been, much more than one-half still remains in the coal bunkers. This will give an ample supply for’ many days, even weeks. As to ammunition, the same confident feeling is entertained by officials of the bureau of ordnance. How much powder and shot Commodore Dewey used up yes- terday depends upon the length of the en- gagement and the extent of the fusillade, and as to this the bureau has no data for calculation. But no matter how great was the fire of the American ships, it is said that the stock of ammunition is still com- plete and ample in every respeet. The Asi- atic squadron had a good stock of ammuni- tion in the first place. Then the cruiser Baltimore carried an additional large stock of projectiles and powder, about six weeks ago. The ammunition was shipped first to Honolulu by one of the wooden ships of the navy, and then went forward by the Baltimore when she was attached to Com- modore Dewey's fleet. The wisdom of this precautionary step by the Navy Depart- ment is now fully appreciated, as the extra supply of ammunition carried by the Balti- more gives Commodore Dewey a reserve of powder and shot which makes him safe against any contingency.

Walted for the Details by the Tele- graph Instruments, President McKinley was in the library of the White House when he received the first bulletin of Commodore Dewey's victory. This news came through the press dis- patches, no official information being ex- pected for some time. He went immediate- ly to the “war rocm” and sat by the tele- graph instruments, where he remained for a long time; in fact, until he was satisfied that Commodore Dewey had won a signal victory. The first dispatches, althougu from Spanish sources, naturally gave him some uneasiness. He cvuld not believe, however, that Dewey had been whipped. The press dispatches run into the White House direct and are received simultane- ously with those at the receiving offices. Toward midnight the President expressed pleasure at the outcome of the fight. Sec- retary Porter and all the other officials were greatly pleased. All the veteran em- ployes, some of whom have been on duty since the civil war, expressed thelr delight in a hundred way With the President duridg the evening were Vice President Hobart, Justice Mc- Kenna of the Supreme Court; Secretary Al- ger, Chauncey M. Depew, iGeneral Hast- ings and many other prominent men. The dispatches were read to‘theassembled par- ty, all joining the Presidentsin expressions of gratification, Ot A TOAST To!

THE YELLOW FEVERIMMUNES Today's reports to the War Department show that already a number of the Na- tional Guard organizations of the states are in camp preparatory to their induction into the service of the United States gov- ernment. None, however, has yet been mustered into the service by the officers appointed for that purpose, although this is expected to occur during the present week with many of the organizations. Ad- vices received are encouraging as to the number and willingness of the guards to enter the army. Many need to be equipped with tents, uniforms, arms, etc., however, before they will be ready for active mili- Major General Shafter. Photograph by Prince. ta’ ice. Meanwhile the officials in Ad- jutant General Corbin’s office are busily engaged replying to requests for arms and equipments and giving directions for hay- ing these military requisites sent to the places of rendezvous. The pressure for places in the volunteer army and for changes in the apportion- ment of troops to the states still continues d Secretary Alger was again besieged th congressioral callers today with those objects in view. Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota has succeeded in having the quota for that state increased to two battalions of infantry, consisting of 648 men and no1-commissioned officers. The local state organization is to remain intact and the governor will have the appoint- ment of the lieutenant colonel and two majors. nator Tillman (8. C. iain information concerni of the troops of his state. The troops are scattered over the state, the senator said and while they are armed yet there were other equipments necessary which the na- tional government would have to supply. Raising the Yellow Fever Immunes. Representative Hull, chairman of the mil- itary committee, was at the department some time in consultation with the officials regarding the bill providing for the raising of additional troops, who are mainly to be “immunes,” and which has already been favorably considered by the committee. Representative Lester (Ga.) had a_ brief talk with Secretary Alger concerning the defenses to the seacoast cities of his state, which, he represented, were not by any means sapisfactor Senator Shoup of Idaho called on a per- sonal errand in behalf of several friends whom he wants assigned to the regiment of mounted riflemen which Mr. J. L. Torrey of Wyoming is to raise. These were Lieut. James G. Harbord of the 5th Cavalry and Lieut. R. D. Walsh, stationed at Boise Barracks. Both of these officers, who are now in the regular army, speak Spanish fluently and wiil be of great service to Mr. Torrey’s regiment in the occupation of Cuba. The Senator also indorsed Mr. Chas. T. Humphrey, a son of Col. Humphrey of the regular army, for a second lieutenancy. Other persons who saw Secretary Alger teday were Mr. D. M. Ferry, chairman of the state central committee of Michi Senators Daniel, Lodge, Platt (N. aker, Carter and Mason and Representative Cannon, chairman of the House commit- tee on appropriations, called to get cer- the equipment New Commissary General. Another important change is imminent at the War Department. Gen. Wm. H. who was recently appointed commissary general of subsistence, has been found phy- sically incapable of performing its impor- tant duties in the present emsrgency, and he will be retired during the present week under the tiirty-years-service law. His most probabl2 successor will be Col. C. P. Eagan, the officer next in line of promotion according to seniority. He arrived in the city this morning under summons from the Secretary of War, and reported at the War Department during the day. His last ser- vic2 was as chief commissary of the Dé- partment of the California, at San Fran- cisco. He will not retire for age until 1905. ‘Ther2 have been four changes in the head of the commissary department within the past four mozths. Gen, Shafter’s Stati. Gen Shafter, who will lead the first di- vision of the Cuban army of invasion, has selected his staff as follows: Lieut. Col. J. B. Babcock of the adjutant general's department will be his adjutant general Lieut. R. H. Noble, Ist Infantry, aid-de- camp; Col J. V. D. Middleton of the med- ical department, chief surgeon, and Lieut. Frank Green of Pennsylvania, signai offi- cer. Col. William Ludlow of the Corps of Engineers will be in command of the en- gineer force, and presumably chief of staff. Commanding Officers Chosen. The War Department officials have ehcsen some of the officers of the volunteer army who will be nominated by the Presi- dent and confirmed by the Senate. The present understanding is that these names will be sent to the Senate by the President tomorrow, including possibly some major generals and a number of brigadiers. It has been intimated that only a few major gererals will be appointed at first, some vacancies being left in the list of those offi- cers in order to permit the promotion of brigadiers who may distinguish themselves by gallant action in actual conflict. o-—_—_——- Property Bequeathed to Daughters.
