Dorst, of the United States cavalry. The Leyden also carried a large quantity of arms and ammunition. The tug landed live men with four boxes of am munition and two horses. General Acosta also landed and penetrated to the Interior, where he communicated with the forces of the insurgent''. The Leyden lay to outside until 5 o'clock In the morning', when observing a troop of Spanish Infantry approaching, she put to sea and got safely away.

The gun boat tired four shots, which Imme diately drove back the Spaniards; und Captain Dorst with the ammunition, landed safely last night, the Leyden returning here. When the Spanish cavalry discover ed the Leyden they promptly opened fire. The tug was taken at a disadvan tage, having no cannon aboard, but Commander Angus decided upon a desperate bluff. He mounted an old flagpole and unother round piece of tlmbeS in the bow of the boat and stationed "gunners" there, but the ruse was of little avail.- The Span lards took shelter near the block house nnd pored In a fusillade of bullets. Meanwhile the Cubans attempted to draw the Spanish lire with a view of diverting the cavalry nnd giving the Leyden n chance to slip out. ROOSEVFLT'S DEPARTURE.

NO WORD FROM ADMIRAL DEWEY Early Reports Not Expected with the Cable Cut Brazil Declares Her Neutrality The Nayy Department Makes Arrangements to Ship Large Supplies of Ammunition to Manila for Admiral Dewey. Washington. Mny 5. Secretary Long said ut the close of ollle-e hours today thnt up to that time lie had received no word from Commodoie Dewey. He added, however, that ho felt no appre hension over this lack of good news, because In the llrst. place reports wore not expected with the cable from Ma nila cut, and furthermore that no fears were entertained as to Commodore Dewey's ability to maintain Ills posi tion. There was no doubt, tile secre tary said, that Commodore; Dewey's liect had annihilated tho Spanish fleet and with this much accomplished Dewey was master of the sltuutlon at Manila. It was suggested to Mr. Long thnt the shore batteries at Cavite and on the Corrigldor Island might ho n seri ous menace to the American lleet, but the secretary did not share this view, holding that tho strength of the Olym pic and other ships in Dewey's e-om-niiind was ample to make him master of Manila bay and its surroundings. Tho department is taking steps to render effective aid to the commodore in the matter of supplies and a con structor of hlsh ability is tc go out at once to repair the damages sustained In the battle of Manila. Preparations for a suitable convoy for the supply ships was also Indicated by the choice of a commander and otHcers for tho cruiser Charleston, now at Mare island. It In recalled at the navy department In this connection, that having re ceived the surrender of Manila, the commodore would be able to secure any quantity of labor and such mateiial as a maritime city like Manila affords for the repair of his ihlps. He also would he able to place his wounded in comfort in some one of tna .Manila, hospitals or public buildings. It is at ways a desire of a prudent naval coin ln'inder to get his wounded ashore- at the earliest possible oppottutdty, as tlv-y stand better chances of recovery. NO NEWS FltOM NAVY. No news could bo gleuned ut the navy department relative to tho move ments of Admiral Sumpson's ironclads, hut from the confident tone of tin few otllclals who are acquainted with the policy of the department, they are expecting to hear very soon of news from his squadron almost as interest ing and Important us thut received from the Philippines last Monday. A high officer of the administration to day almost demolished the theory that Admiral Sampson uns going to succor the Oregun. He declared that the navy department was under no apprehen sion about the Oregon for the reason thnt It did not consider the Spanish ndmiral of the Cape Verde squadron would be willing to risk a combat with the Oregon even with the great odds In his favor, as even if over whelmed in the end, the Oregon would certainly destroy one of the Spanish ships, and perhaps two, and the Span ish government could not afford to ex change pawns at this state of the war. That left open as possible points of operations for Sampson either Porto Hico or some port on the Cuban coast. Bui just which the-ory Is to be accept ed Is not even hinted nt by the de partment officials. IIItAZIL DECLARES NEUTRALITY. Notice came to the state department from Brazil today that that govern ment hnd declared neutrality. There Is now no cause to regret such action, for however beneficial the delay bus been to the United States in getting Its warships safely along the Brazilian coast, the issue of the proclamation Just now Is likely to be still more bene llclul In closing Brazilian ports to the Spanish Hying squadron If It should be headed in that direction. It may be noted, however, that while the first reports were received with little credit the advices coming to the navy depart ment today, thought not conclusive.
