Washington. June 6.—After a lot of con
flicting rumors ot naval pts, the
landing of troops and such matte’at the
navy department there came at the close
of the day one important bit-of news em
bodied iln at report from Admiral Dewey of
important successeaocliteved by the Insur
gents a-t Manila.
The navy department, at 2 o'clock, post
ed the following bull Ain:
“Admiral Dewey reports that, the insur
gents have l>een actively engf.ge* within
the province of Cavite durin g the past
week. They have won sever, i( Victories,
taken prisoner- about J ~830 m sn, fifty of
ficers of the Spanish troops, not native.
“The arsenal at Cavite ht .s been pre
pared for occupation by Lfcaifed States
troops upon their arrival on transports.
“Admiral Sampson is engaged in ar
ranging with Admiral Ccrver a tor the ex
change of Naval Constructor’ Hobson and
the men with him, GOW prisoners at San
tiago, for some ot the offi 3ers and men
held by the States at
Fort, McPherson.”
The officiate have been more anxious
than they ci red to betray as to Admiral
Dewey’s condition. They w< ire not serious-:
ly apprehensive of personal, danger to the
fleet) hut aW impression was gaining
ground: that the admiral had not main
tained the saw measure Os success Up, his
operations in Alanila buy that reworded
his first effort.
Now the report received goes to show
that his plans are workng out admirably;
that he has succeeded In placing upon the
insurgents the bu fden of conducting mili
tary operation* Against the Spaniards
while he himself is lying in enforced idle
ness awaiting the ar Aval of the troops,, and
that ho has succee 'Jed in preventing the
corruption of the insurgent leaders by the
Spaniards, which api*eared to be at one
time threatening.
There is some speculation here by anx
ious minda as to how the insurgents will
treat the prisoners they, have taken, who
are more numerous, it in- said, than all the
captures mado by the Cuban insurgents
sltioe their war bogan.
It is reported- by catM», soon otter ho
had secured the co-opej »tlon of the in
surgent, chief, Aguinald<A that Admiral
Dewey would see to it thtat the insurgents
observed the rules of clwiliaed warfare.
This caution was made necesary by the
terrible talcs I haft bad be*«i olrcluated of
the barbarous treatment of prisoners cap
tured by the. insurgents.
It is sincerely hoped that Aguinaldo, will
•ee tp it that this agreement L«> observed in
the case of the 1,800 prisoners he now
holds, for it is. believed in official circles
that the nations of the civilised world will
hold' the United Stales wholly responsibly
for any great excesses that may be com
mitted in the Philippines as a, result of
our action there.
Tfi« navy department! officials declare
that Admiral Dewey is not responsible for
the safe-keeping and maintenance of these
prisoners, which is most fortunate, con
mdso .mr the limited resources of the ad
miral in the matter of proviniunjs.

With these two monitors, Admiral Dewey
will be fully able to take care of himself,

SFANISII BOAT REPOSTED SUNK,
Oregon fladd to Have »<■»< the Terror
or rurpr Mo the Ruttow.
Copyright, ISR, by the Associated Press.
Kingston, Jamaica, June News has
been received here to-day from Port An
tonio confirming the report brought there
yesterday by a vessel from Santiago de
Cuba, saying the Spanish torp.edo boat de
stroyer Terro (Furor) had been sunk by
an American warship.
It appears that the battleship Oregon
saw a long craft sneaking close to the
shore and heading toward the harbor. She'
signalled the craft to turn to and the sig
nals were improperly answered, whereupon
the Oregon opened lire upon her. A 13-
inch shell struck the torpedo boat amid
ships and si>e sunk with all hands.
The vessel is supposed to have been the
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror try
ing to make her way from Porto Rico into
the harbor of Santiago de Cub#, to rejoin
the fleet of Admiral Cervera, with which
she arrived at Fort de France, Island of
Martinique.
'J’he terror was compelled to remain at
Fort de France owing to her boilers being
out of order.
On the other hand, it is believed the
torpedo boat destroyer sunk may have
been the Furor of Admiral Cervera’s fleet,
as the latest reports concerning the Ter
ror seem to shpw that her boilers were
still out of order.

Mole St. Nicholas, June 6.—Advices re

It is also reported from the flagship that
no further word has been received from
the Merrimac prisoners.
A launch came out from the shore on
Sunday morning under a flag of truce and
a Spanish officer, who was in charge of
the boat, said he thought he saw a flag
of truce flying on bard the lowa. When
the officer discovered his mistake the

On board the Associated Press dispatch
boat Dauntless, off Santiago de Cuba,
June 5, via Kingston, Jamaica, June 6.
10 a. m.— Whether the American fleet
sunk a Spanish torpedo boat destroyer
on Friday night has not been absolutely
confirmed.
At 10 o’clock Friday night, the cruiser
New Orleans discovered what appeared to
be a torpedo boat destroyer close to the
shore and signalled the flagship New York
that it was evident a night torpedo at
tack was to be made.
Both the New York and the New Or
leans opened fire and their shells burst
around the dark object. Finally a 13-ineh
shell from the Massachusetts (not the Ore
gon as first reported) was fired and ex
ploded. The searchlights of the vessels
were turned on the spot where the sup
posed destroyer had been sighted, but not
a trace of the boat could be found and it
is believed aboard the New York that she
was sunk' '
The first assumption was that the ves
sel was the Terror, but it is thought now
that it was the Pluton or Furor, as the
Terror is not understood to have been
at Santiago.
On Saturday two Schwarzkopf torpe
does were found floating two miles south
of El Morro. This is the class of torpedo
used by the Spanish and one of the two
found had only .the practice head.
Many officers of the fleet believe that a
darkened railway train that was moving
along the shore was the real object of the
bombardment instead of a destroyer. No
wreckage had been found, no dead bodies
have been noticed, and it is possible tha,t
the torpedoes were some of those fired at
the collier Merrimac when Lieut. Hobson
sunk her, which subsequently floated out
side the harbor. \
Admiral Sampson is determined not to
allow the Spanish to remove .the Merrimac
from the spot where she lies. Qn Satur
day jt was reported that they were work
ing at the hull and the American fleet
formed in hue of battle with orders to
bombard. It turned out that the Spanish
Were not po engaged and the fleet with
drew. Admiral Sampson has given special
orders that El Morro, where the. heroes of
the Merrimac are imprisoned, should be
spared in the firing.
Admiral Cervera’s polite assurances were
accompanied by the statement that Lieut.
Hobson and his men were confined there.
This placing prisoners in the direct line
of fire is denounced by the American offi
cers as a tbirteenth-ceptury defense and
an apt of incarnate cruelty.

FILLING UP THE OTHER TWO.
Candler Likely to Be the Colonel.
Atlanta, Ga., June 6.—Georgia is to nave
an entirely new regiment of volunteers
under the second call, and this makes
places for a colonel and a full complenient
of regimental officers.
This information comes from Washington
to-day, Gov. Atkinson having wired Sena
tors Clay and Bacon Saturday that (the
state would prefer to raise a new regi
ment rather than the 679 recruits for the
regiments already in the field.
Thia request has been granted by the
war department, the dispatch stating that
both senators have been officially notified
thereof this afternoon.
It is believed that Col. John S. Candler
of the Fifth Regiment, with Col. Usher
Thompson »f the Fourth as Lleutentant
colonel, will be appointed by Gov. Atkin
son to command the new regimept.
When Informed of the action of the war
department Gov. Atkinson said: “That
is just what I have been contending tor,
I understand that we are to raise a full
regiment, rank and flip, in heu
of the 764 privates heretofore asked
for. When the privates were called
for to fill in the regiments already raised.
I told the Secretary of War that we would
do that if it was thought best by the war
department, and the plan was of uniform
application to all the states. Since then
I have telegraphed the Secretary of War,
as well as our senators, that we wanted
to be on the same footing with other
states, and if any were allowed to raise
new regiments we would insist on the
same privilege.” •
The method of recruiting this regiment
will be about the same employed in rais
ing the First and Second Regiments. The
Governor said that according to his un
derstanding of the law, the new regiment
will be composed of twelve companies of
106 men each, besides commissioned of
ficers. This will take 1,273 privates and
non-commissioned officers, and between
forty and fifty company and regimental
officers, or, in all, over 1,300 men.
EXPULSION DELAYED.
Lieut. Carranza Denies Correctness
of Translation of His Letter.
Washington, June 6.—Lieut. Carranza
and Sepor Dubpsc, who are conducting
their Spanish operations from Montreal,
have succeeded in obtaining a brief respite
from expulsion through the denial by
Liuet. Carranza of the accuracy of certain
features of the letter attributed to him.
The British authorities acted on the as
sumption that the trapslation of.the Car
ranza letter was correct, and that thys
there was no doubt that the Spanish of
ficials were using Canada as a base for
hostile action against the United States.
But since a question is raised as to the
accuracy of the translation no step is like
ly to be taken toward a forcible expulsion
until the translation is established as cor
rect.
The Carranza denial raises a question of
veracity which can be readily settled by
the production of the original letter. This
is understood to be in the hands of the se
cret service branch of the treasury.
When the accuracy of the translation is
established |he British authorities will pct
promptly.

sometimes k>ter and dream.
