Tho United States fleet at this liour Is concentrated, lying about ten miles off Morro castle. The cruiser Iontcomery and the tug Osceola have nrrlved from Key West. The Iowa, In diana, netrolt and Mayflower iw lylns close to the flagship New York, but the Mayflower Is going back to Key West. The weather Is line rind a htlff breeze is blowing. Captains Evans nnd Taylor eama on board the flagship during the day nnd had a consultation with Rear Admltul Bampson and CnpUIn Clmdwick. The Uiltlhh steamohlp Strathdee.Cup tain Currle, from Pi ogre so to Segua la Grande, In ballnst, w.is made to heave to at 1.30 o'clock this morning, nfter two shots had uetn llrod fiom the llagshlp. The Strnthdre was boarded, proved her ldmtit and wan allowed to proceed, as Sagu.i lu. Grande Is not n blockaded port. Captain Cunle "-aid he had been stopped twice before duilng the night. That Is Vw only incident of Interebt which has onuiietl dining the last twentv-four hours. MOVEMENT PLANNED. On Board the Asroi utod lJrpt-? Des patch Boat Dauntle-is. (ia Ky West, I'la., May 2). A demonstration by the fleet off the coast of Cuba is hardly t x pected today; but, It is understood a movement has been planned. A howl ing gale Is blowing and the hua Is i mi ning high. A long conference was held on boaid the llagshlp New Ymlt jesterday be tween Rear Admiral Sampson, Captain Kvans, of the Iowa, Captain Tdjlor, of the Indiana and Captain Chadwlck, of the New York, the purpose of which could not be ascertained. Eaily yes terday the New York steamed to the westward, past Havana, which was In plain view fiom the vessel, and picked up the Indiana and then the Iowa, tak ing the commanders of both ships nboaid Tugs were then sent out, call ing in all the other vessels of the lleut in that vicinity, and at noon, the fol lowing ships were liing off the bat teries west of Havana and within eight miles of the shoie: The flagship New York, the battleships Iowa and In diana, the cruisers Detroit and Marble head, the gunboats Castlne, Mayflow er, Hornet and Mangrove and the tugs O.seeola, Wampatock and Tecunifaeh. Theie were also four newspaper de spatch boats In proximity, all the ves sels being within a radius of 1,000 j,ards and visible plainly fiom the shoie. Theie was every indication that (i conceited movement of home kind was In contemplation, and those on the flagship who weie lgnoiant of the ob Jei t of the eonfetence expected conlld intly that tho recent bombardment of the Spanish battel les at Matanzas and the llrlng on a ttoop of Spanish e.av nliy at Cabanas weie to be repeated on the moie foimldable batteries near Havana. The weather conditions, however, weie anything but favorable for an attack, for a foitv-knot gale was blowing and the waves weie tre mendous. Even the big battleships weie unsteady, the smaller vessels be ing tossed about with every wave like Bhells. After tho ships had lemained In posi tion for several houis, it became evi dent that no immediate movement was contemplated. The llagshlp finally drew away fiom the others and steamed slowly past Mono Castle without incident. The remainder of tho fleet then opened out nnd returned to their vailous stations along the c oast. There has been no special excitement among the vessels for the past foity elght houis, except a ripple caused by the chase of the Hiltlsh tiamp steam ship Starthdce on Saturdav night. News of the engagement between the Vnited States and Spanish fleets at Manila has not et reached the Cuban blockading squadion, but they prob nbly will be ndvlsed of It this morn ing by vessels which left hero duilng last night.

The Spanish cabinet, according to a special despatch from Madrid, to tho Evening News, sat for four hours and only discussed the Ma nila disaster. The discussion, It is add ed, showed the Spanish ministers "are now fully aroused and determined to exhaust their resources In defense of the national honoi. After the cabinet council, the des patch to the Evening News continues, General Correo, the minister of war, nnd dmliul Bermejo, the minister of marine, made a leport to the Queen Regent. The latter, it appears, who had alteady heaid of the reverse, "was aflame with patriotic enthusiasm," and declared the loss of so many ships was a misfortune, but there was "satisfac tion In the icflcctlon that the Spaniards had coveied themselves with honor." The Queen Rcgert Is said to have add ed. My spirit can never be daunted so long as I can tely on the pitilotlsm nnd 'outage of the Spanlauls.' The absence of fuither details of the Spanish defeat is supposed, according to the Spanish oillclals, to be "due to the pio-oecupatton of Captain General August! in defending Manila." PRAISE FOR DLWEV. Admiral George lirown Hpi-nk. in ('lowing leimnnf Hi I'rieud. Indianapolis, May 2. Admiral George Brown speaks in the most enthusiastic terms of Commodore Dewey. "Why," said tho admiral today, 'I may say that I brought him up 1 nave known him since he enteied the navu'l academy In 1S"4 or lS-,5. "What a chance he had But he was equil to it The fight at Manila was I1I.4 Tiafalgar. Mote fortunate than Nelson, he wl.l live to enjoy the honor he has won Tho moral elfect of this vlctuiy in Euiope Is nlmost Incalcu lable. The demoralization to Spain c-innot be computed. I do not think Rlanco can now hold out a month in Cuba. 'I would have been gieatly disap pointed If Dewey had not accompllshe ed everv thing he was sent to do. With fine ships, with a splendid corps of of ficers, ith as good fighting sailors us there are in the woild, with modern guns, it was with mt a foregone conclu sion that Dewey would win."

Volkmark, adjutant geneial of the Department of Colorado, the volun teers lalsed in the states west of the Missouri river will probably bo sent act oss the Pacific ocean to hold the Philippines "It will be necessaiy to hold the Islands," said Colonel Volk muik, "while the war is being prose cuted In other dliectlons, and what would be more natuial than for the tioops recruited In the west to be placed aboard transports in the har bor of San Finnclsco and sent to oc cupy the lmpoitunt posts In the Phil ippine Islands?

London, May 2. In the house of par liament, at the hotels, which aro be ginning to be full of American tour ists, at nil the government olllces nnd particularly at the admiralty the bril liant defeat of the Spanish lleet by the Asiatic licet of the United States at tho battle of Manila was one great sub ject talked of throughout the day The United States embassy was the centre of Interest for all London. Thero was a continuous line of callers re questing Information, the majoilty be ing Americans. The United States ambassador. Col onel John Hay, Is ovei Joyed nt this demonstration of the prowess of the American navy. Remarking, concerning Commodore Dewe, who Is a personal filend of the ambassador: "It is hard to Imagine so quiet and amiable a gentleman con tiolllng a Hory navy battle It Is these quiet, gentlemnnly Americans, how ever, who may be depended on to sur pilse the world when the opportunity of making history comes In the lino of duty " Lleutennnt Colwell. the United States naval attache, declaied the result was merely what he expected. The hotel bulletins are surrounded with enthusiastic Americans, many of them displaying miniature flags at their buttonholes. ADMIRATION OF BRITISH OFFI CBRS Many British naval oHlcers have ex pressed the warmest admiration for the work of the American fleet. In fact, the preponderance ot sentiment In the British navy seems to be with the Americans thioughout, the oflicers giv ing many practical pi oofs of their par tiality International courtesy, however, de barred the high officials from com menting on the lesult. All the Information obtainable here concerning the Spanish Torce of auxil iary cruisers. In regard to which vague repents have emanated from Madrid, tends to show that It hns been over estimated. The best two ships, the Co lumbia and the Normnnnla, foimerly of the Hamburg-American line, are yet unarmed, and It Is believed they will be unable to secuie armament. The chief factor of the remainder of the Spanish foiee of auxiliaiy cruisers consist in the six steamei.s belonging to the Barcelona trans-Atlantic Steam ship company. They nie fairly armed, but thev hnve been scattered. Two of them are with the Cape Veide squad ron, ns transpoits, one Is convoying the torpedo flotilla, another, it Is said, Is at Santiago de Cuba, and two are at Cadiz. The Bvenlns Standard, commenting on the Ameilcan victoiy, says. "Bvery one will hope this prompt and decisive blow to the Spanish forces will lead to an early termination of hostilities, a hope which has been en couraged bv the remarkable language of Senor Sllvela in the centes, when he declared the Cuban problem Is ic-duced- to a question of honor for Span ish aims." llcfore using Concuiu.
