The Charleston to Proceed at Once to Manila With Ammunition and Supplies. Washington, May 10. It is hard to tll whether the naval officials were relieved or disappointed by the news that came late this afternoon to both the navy and state departments to the ;ff ert that the Spanish flying squad ron had arrived at Cadiz, Spain. The j-af'ty of the Oregon from attack is now completely assured and the way is clear for military operations in Cu ba, without running the risk or having the occupying army's line of communi cation cut off. On the other hand, it is b'-lieved that no enduring peace can be secured until the Spanish navy has been destroyed and it now appears that to do .this our sailors must make up their minds to go after the Span iards, a task very much more difficult than that of meeting them near our own shores. It was suggested by some of the members of the war board that there was just a possibility that the Spanish squadron might make a quick passage into the Pacific through the "uez canal and attack Dewey at Ma nila. It is said that, contrary to the common understanding, the Suez canal is open to the warships of belligerent powers, so that if the Spanish choose to take this course they would have a long start of any pursuing fleet from our side of the Atlantic. It is scarcely believed, however, that the Spanish are willing to take the great risk of ex posing to our attack their own home ports by the withdrawal of so consid- ' erable a portion of their naval strength as would be required to over-match Dewey. Nothing was heard from Sampson to day, but there is a confident expecta tion that interesting news will be com ing from this squadron within the next twenty-four hours. Whether this means an attack on Porto Ilico or not cannot be learned. TO HASTEN THE ATTACK ON CUBA. One effect of the retreat of the Span ish fleet has been to hasten the prepa rations already under full headway for the dispatching of military expeditions to Cuba. It also has caused a complete change in the concentration plans. Time is now believed to be the great factor. There is no longer opportuni ty to indulge in extensive drilling and practice maneuvering. The regular ar my troops do not need these and are to be thrown at once into the fray. Many of the regiments of the national uard which are entering the volun teer service are felt to be sufficiently trained from a military point of view to follow the regulars immediately and the department indicated its purpose today of dispatching these volunteer troops directly to the gulf coast for shipment, instead of sending them to Chickamauga. This disposition was shown by the changes in the new or ders issued to the troops, although there yet may be a return to the origi nal programme of concentration if the plans show signs of weakness as they develop. The quartermaster gen eral has already gotten under charter twenty-seven merchant steamers for the transport of troops and, rpughly speaking, these should carry about 20, X0 men. Others are being procured as rapidly as possible. The plan of the war department is to have these ves sels assemble at the different gulf ports, Tampa, Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston to take on troops which will be sent there. The navy depart ment is expected to furnish convoys for these troops, which would be abso lutely helpless against Spanish attack. At this point there are signs of fric tion. First, the troops will be obliged to await Admiral Sampson's return in order to secure proiper convoy and, secondly, the navy objects very decid edly to undertaking the task of con voying a number of troops. It insists that, to assure the safety of the con--voy of troops, all of the troops should foe gathered in one fleet to start from Tampa and the navy is likely to prevail in this. Now that Major General Zewell has laeen assigned to command the concen tration camp at Falls Church, prepara tions are being rushed to put the grounds there into shape for the re ception of the volunteers. G ESSTDR1AJL (MILES GOES TO TAMPA OFVy Friday 'morning: the commanding general of the United States army, JMajor Jeneral Miles, will have assem bled hkt staff around him at Tampa. iPUa.

TO URGE SPAIN TO SUE FOR PEACE As a result of the Spanish reverse at iManila, leading mem!bers of the dip lomatic corps, representing some of the most influential of t'he great powers of Europe have unofficially exenanged views on the opportuneness of a move ment, dictated by the most friendly spirit and in the interest of peace, to wards urging upon Spain t'he futility of further prosecuting the war, and inducing her to sue for peace on the basis of the relinquishment of Cuiba. the promise of a war indemnity and the occupation of Manila by Admiral Dewey until the war indemnity is paid. It was stated tonight by one of the most influential members of the diplomatic corps, an embassador, that such a step by Spain was the logical result of the crushing Spanish defeat at Manila. With Spanish politics in their present disordered state and a revolution impending, he did not know whether the men at the head of the government vrere strong enough and brave enough to save Spain 'by a heroic sacrifice of her pride. Unless they did, he said, the disaster of IManila would be repeated, for it was now patent to the world that Spain's military and naval strength was greatly inadequate to cope with the forces of the United States. While expressing this view with much positiveness, it was put for ward only as tentative, and now as a move which the European powers had actually 'begun. It 'was stated with positiveness at several of the embassies and the lega tions today that intervention, in the sense of staying the course of the Unit ed States, ay as no longer being dus cussed. The military authorities connected with the foreign establishments 'here say that admiral 'Montejo and his en tire staff of officers ought to be, and undoubtedly will be.court martialed for alowing themselves to be surprised by Admiral Dewey's fleet. There was some discussion by the senate in executive session today be cause none of nominations for staff offi cers in the army sent in by the presi dent yesterday were from the south. Senator Money raised the question when the reference of the nominations were m3e and he and Senators Bate, Bacon and Lindsay all commented up on the fact. Their speeches were not in the nature of fault-finding, but the omission they said was patent to all. They also called attention to the fact that the south had comparatively few officers in the regular army and none of high rank, owing to the effect in this respect of the civil war and said that while southern states would be just as loyal in present war, whether or not they received any of president's favors they would prefer to be treated in this matter as were other sections of the country. All the nominations for staff officers were referred to the military committee. Reports received at Adjutant General Corbin's office show that 34,354 men have been mustered into the volunteer army of the United States. Washington, May 11. The army movement on Cuba is now fairly launched and today's news developed a concentrated effort all along the line to begin aggressive operations on a 'big scale for the ejectment of the Spanish troops and government from the "Pearl of the Antilles." An order given this afternoon by the war department for the purchase of 5,000,000 rations is an earnest of the scale on which prepara tions are making for invasion of Spain's territory Of this vast quantity one fourth is to go to the Philippines, by way of San Francisco, and the 'balance to Cuba. For some reason that was not discoverable, -there appeared to be a temporary check in the practical working out of the plans of the war department for this Cuban movement. Af ter everything had been made ready for Lis departure last night. General Miles was detained and for some time today the rather gloomy prospect of an indefinite postponement of the first military expedition was presented. Later on, however, 'the obstacle, what ever it was, was removed, and it was again announced that the command ing general with a numerous staff would leave Washington tomorrow, di rect for Tampa, The department has made a great number of changes In the original programme laid down for the concentration of troops and as indi cated in these dispatches yesterday many .bodies of volunteers .that were originally slated for one of the great concentration camps have found them selves suddenly under orders to pro ceed direct to southern points so that soon volunteers from the east and "mid dle west will 'be moving swiftly to Florida and the gulf while from the far west 'the cars- will "be carrying troops to San Francisco. Today's news in connection with the renewal of Gen eral Mile' order to Tampa isr pretty substantial evidence of a very early movement of troops in strong force for Cuba, while the Philippine programme has been definitely fixed for some days. NO NEWS FROM ADMIRAL SAMP SON. Contrary to the expectations the day pased at the navy department without news from Admiral Sampson. Not withstanding what appears to be con firmatory newspaper advices relative to the presence of the Spanish Cape Verde fleet at Cadiz, the navy depart ment officials are 'beginning to enter tain strong doubt of accuracy of the re port. It was not possible during the course of the day to obtain anything like an official confirmation of the offi cial report received yesterday, but this is not to be wondered at in view of the success with which the "Spanish government has so far met with in keeping secret the movements of its naval ships. Until news comes from Admiral Sampson of his doings in and around Porto Rico it cannot be said definitely what programme shall be decided on as regards that island. TROOPS FOR PORTO RlCO. It has been suggested that some of the troops now .being harried to the gulf coast may be intended to co-operate with Admiral Sampson in the re duction of the fortifications at San Juan de Porto Rico and the subsequent occupation cf the island. It is felt that the admiral will be "in a rather disa greeable plight, supposing even that he managed to reduce the forts with his fleet, if he were obliged to remain there in occupation of the place, for lack of troops, when he might otherwise be ur gently needed either on the Cuban coast or somewhere in the Atlantic to meet the Spanish fleet. An evidence of the wisdom of having the troops transports near at hand in such cases is shown by the predicament Admiral Dewey is believed to be in at Manilla, where for lack of troops he is unable to occupy the town and to pre vent atrocities which the insurgents are capable to working upon their help less Spanish foes. RENEWED ANXIETY AS TO THE OREGON. The revival of doubts as to the where abouts of the Cape Verde squadron caused a renewal of anxiety as to the Oregon. The ship was at Bahia at last accounts and is believed to have started a day or two ago up the Bra zilian coast to join Sampson's squad ron in the West Indies. She will have to make a run of 3,000 miles, which will occupy the Oregon about ten days only, as she is in fine fettle and averaged thirteen knots an hour on the long run around from San Francisco. However, it is believed that Sampson is as well posted as any one in Washington as to the conditions existing in the West In dies and doubtless will do whatever is necessary in his judgement to safe guard the ship in her run up the coast. During the past month the bureau of construction and repair of the navy de partment spent $1,250,000 in the repair and outfitting of ships, and none of this money went to new construction. This is said to be the largest expendi ture in this particular line made by the equipment bureau, even during the days of the civil war. The navy department felt obliged to decline the offer made by some wealthy New York gentlemen headed by O. H. P. Belmont, to build and equip a torpe do boat for the use of the government during the war. Possibly the declina tion was brought about through the condition attached to the offer that the boat should be commanded by Mr. Bel mont, for, without the least reflection upon that gentleman, the naval officials have been obliged to decline to estab lish the precedent of appointing civili ans to command in this way. The practice in some respects would ap proach privateering, which is distinctly prohibited by the agreement we have voluntarily entered into and proclaimed to the world. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt today turned over the duties of assistant sec retary of the navy to Charles H. Allen, of Massachusetts, and the latter held a reception at the department to all the employees. The rush orders to the Charleston, which went out today, will have the re sult possibly of obliging the department to send another vessel, probably the Philadelphia, along with the troop transports which- are expected to go out from San Francisco about the end of the week, since it is very unusual in time of war to send troops without a warship for convoy. THE CHARLESTON TO SAIL AT ONCE. The navy department has decided to have the cruiser Charleston start at once on its relief mission to Admiral Dewey's fleet at Manila. The orders issued anticipate the departure of the Charleston from San Francisco today if it is possible to get the ammunition and stores aboard and she will leave without waiting to conveoy the City of Pekln and other ships loaded with supplies. The orders to the comman dant of the navy yard at Mare Island are to put on board the Charleston all the ammunition she will carry so long as her steaming capacity is not retart ed. It is the understanding here that at least 150 tons of ammunition can be put on board. By extraordinary efforts on the part of the authorities here, all the powder, shot and shell requisite for this relief expedition have been assem bled at San Francisco. Owing to the departure of the Charleston it is not expected that she will wait for any considerable number of troops, as these will follow later on the other relief ships. She has a crew of about 300 men and this will probably be augmented by a marine guard of a few hundred. The Charleston is a protected cruiser of 3,730 tons displacement, built of steel and mounts eight guns in her main battery. She has twin screws and an indicated horse power of 6,666. The au thorities here hardly expect her to make more than thirteen knots with her heavy stock of coal, ammunition and supplies. Her coal bunkers are rather low so that she will probably have to stop at Honolulu to recoal. Her trip to Manila will take about two weeks. The City of Pekin, which will follow her, is a very fleet merchantman, capable of being pushed to eighteen knots or more, so that even with the handicap she has of starting several days after the Charleston there is a prospect she may overhaul her in the race across the Pacific and reach Manila first. This will depend, however, on how soon the City of Pekin can be made ready for a st.art. Saturday is the earliest date mentioned. Meit and medicines are Judged by what fhey do.

The YeeU Coaling Tp The 7Iaa enutett Tries Her New liun Splen did Drill of the 71en-In Pralte of Ad miral Dewey. Old Point Comfort, Va., On Board the Flagship Brooklyn, off Fortress Mon roe, -May 11. Commodore W infield S. Schley, commanding the llying squadron today for the first time consented to give his views upon the victory won by Admiral Dewey, at Manila. To the Associated Press representative he said: "Admiral Dewey's victory at 'Manila must deservedly take its place with the greatest navy victories of the world's history. It is urged that the result shows such decided Inferiority In re sistance as compared with the vigor of attack that there is a diminution of the glory, but that is untrue, for it must be remembered that the greatness of Dewey's success lies in the calm courage and daring displayed in his decision to enter strange harbor, at dark, under the guns of many forts and braving perhaps hidden torpedoes or mines. It strikes me that with sev eral ' advantageously fortified positions, the preponderance of advantage was certainly with the enemy, and that with the great daring displayed by Dewey there must fall upon his should ers the mantle of Perry and Farragut. From the meagre accounts that have been received of the ibattle, it is evi dent that despite the gre risk every officer and every man knew was .being taken, there was not a faint heart in all that squadron, 'but an enthusiasm and espirit d2 corps that could not but -win with such a leader. I would note, t too, that superior education, which "brings intelligence, coupled with perfection in markmanship, aided greatly in winning the day and will, I believe, contribute to future victor ies. Admiral iDewey and every man in his squadron deserves every recogni tion that a grateful people and a na tion can bestow." The definite news of the return of the Spanish fleet to Cadiz put new life into the squadron officers today. While they have recognized that the strategy board has made them a splendid fac tor in the war, by the enforced stay here, and realize that their presence on the coast has 'been the direct cause of the return of Spanish squad-ron to its own ports, they have chafed at their idleness and the possible termination of the war before they moved. Today the general belief is that the history of Nelson will be repeated and as the bat tle of Manila paralleled the victory of Nelson on the Nile, so Spanish indig nation as in the day of .Nelson may force the Spanish fleet to sea and Trafalgar be repeated. Every officer is now encouraged to believe that com modore Schley will be allowed to dis play his acknowledged skill and daring in active battle. The 'New Orleans finished coaling to day i.nd is ready for sea. An assistant passed engineer and two cadet engi neers arrived here today and joined the Brooklyn and it is believed that these are significant facts, indicating an early movement of the squadron. Captain Hutchison, of the Massa chusetts, tried his new automatic Maxim one pounders today with great success. On all the ships today, fire and collision drills and general call to quarters, practically a battle drill, oc curred. Commodore Schley watohed all the ships carefully and expressed himself as well satisfied. The New Orleans tried her big guns and her officers reported to commodore Schley that they were well pleased with the working of them. RIOTING IN ITALY. ?Iartial Law in Naples Troop A tack ed by Student From a ZTIonatery The Building Stormed Tlonkt Ar rested Rome, May 10. Martial law has been proclaimed in the province of Naples. Advices received from Milan today give details of the arrest of 200 rioters In a monastery there. It appears that the students from Pavla, who Joined in the disturbances, entrenched them selves in the Capuchin monastery and, while a detachment of troops was pass ing, fired upon them. The military au thorities sent two field guns to the scene, opened fire on the monastery, made a breach in its walls and entered the building, but the students escaped. All the monks were arrested and they will be imnrisoned nreviouslv to beincr i distributed among the other monaster " ies of the order. For the present the ) monks will be held at the disposal of ' the military authorities. A Catholic ' newspaper of Milan was confiscated to ! day. The town is resuming Its normal ! condition. A state of siege has been proclaimed in the province of Florence and at Li voumo, Pisa, Sinea, Massa and Gros seto, and also in the town of Spezzia, the naval port of Spezzia being except ed from the decree. At Messina a crowd of women and children proceeded to the town hall demanding food. They were dispersed by the police and the crowd then be gan breaking street lamps and tried to sack a provision store.

Captain Gresham Annoyed at Slow ness of fluttering in of Seeond Regi ment Ordnanee Stores Neeessary to Complete Equipment Companies of Seeond Ifeglment Without Full Quota of Men Compliments to the Soldiers. CSpecial to Tin 3 Mesenger.) 'At Camp Grimes this afternoon there was the now familiar sight of arrival of new companies. Five came in as follows, all the Second regiment: Cap tain S. J. Cobb, of Lumber Bridge, 78 men; Captain J. T. Smith, of Green ville, 47 men; Captain W. T. L. Bell, of Rutherford ton, 76 men; Captain John W. Cotten, of Tarboro, SO men; Captain R. L. Durham, of Ga-stonia. 87 men. Tonight at 2 o'clock Captain J. L. Gibson's company from Nantahala arrives with 112 " men. All these six companies are at the fair ground.s in the spacious "building. Acting com misary marshal issued them food, cock ing utensils and Iblankets and they are in good quarters. Colonel Burgwyn of the second, who is a veteran in camp, was found In his tent late this afternoon. Hie said he had appointed Thomas Davis, who came here as a sergeant of the 'Wil mington company, of his regiment, sergeant major. It is said Rev. D. II. Tuttle is to be chaplain of the second. The governor says he will be appoint ed. Mustering Officer Gresham is annoy ed, and reasonably so, at the slowness of the Second regiment in Ijeing mus tered in and tonight telegraphed to the war department as to the fact that some of its companies had come here short of men. He says such companies should not have heen allowed to come. The Greenville company is a case in point. No company ought to come here with less than 90 men. One would have thought this fact had been fairly ham mered into the heads of those persons who got up the companies, but it seems not. Colonel Burgwyn more than hinted this afternoon that the "Washington company of his regiment would fail and that it would have to retire. The adjutant general thinks enough men will be on hand by Friday to fill all these companies. Oxford company got fifteen this afternoon from Hender son. Wilmington yet lacks two men. Today it sent home five rejected men and two sick and it got one recruit. Two companies of the .Second will go before the surgeons tomorrow. The mustering officer tonight tele graphed the war department a state ment of the ordnance stores necessary to complete the equipment of the First regiment, as follows: Five hundred and fifty-seven rifles, 200,000 43 calibre "ball cartridges, 603 knapsacks, 723 can, teens, 779 sets of knives, forks, and spoons, D0 cartridge belts. "W. B. Gulick of Goldsboro is ordnance ser geant of the First regiment. The officers of the Gastonia company are: 'R. L. Durham, Captain; Jlev. Plato Durham, first lieutenant; E. .'. Farrior, second lieutenant. Lieutenant Colonel Calvin D. Cowles, of the First regiment was seen at his quarters. He had Just returned from the drill ground where 'he got his first view of the regiment. He says the men are a fine lot, a high type of men, and he expects great things of the regi ment. The camp he regards as admir ably located and thoroughly clean. In deed it is a treat to a lover of neatness to go through the camp of the First regiment. The Second regiment camp Is by degrees being put in order. In a few days It too will be a model of neat ness. There is a vast difference be tween the appearance of things before and after a regiment is mustered into service. The First regiment camp looks as If it had been there a year. Lieutenant Smith, of company K. First regiment (Raleigh), is assistant commissary to Lieutenant Marshall U. 6. A. There was dress parade today and battalion drill, these ending a day of hard work. It is a pity there is no clothang for the recruits. Stamp Taxes Are coming as a necessary war meas ure, and as a consequence medicines will be advenced in price.
