Difpatehes from Washington dated yesterday state that at the Na?y De partment to-day at the closo of office hours uo dispatchse of any kiod re latiog to the movements of the fleets or the prospect of an engagement had been received during the day, aud that the only dispatch received re lated to an inconsequential prize case. As to the ships, which are now at sea there is no expectation of reports un til a decisive engagement occurs and a dispatch boat gets to a port, or it is found Cervera has eluded our search In the meantime there is a complete lack of official data by which to fore cast the coming engagement. The Navy Department has settled down to quietly wait for definite re sults in the naval programme in the West Indian waters. Every inquiry is directed toward the location of the respective squadrons, and the chances of an early conflict. But the sum to tal of the official advises throws little or no light on the time wheu a battle may occur. It is said by those best acquainted with the situation that the decisive fight may occur within the next fow hours, or may not occur for several days, possibly weeks. At the same time the authorities believe that the chances are greatly lessened of Admiral Cervera's prolonging his elusive plan for any considerable time. There are several reasons for this, but the main one is that the Spanish ships have made inroads on their coal supply. It is understood that Gen Weyler looks upon Admiral Dewey as a butcher. While the regulars are at the front aa excellent opportunity is pre sented far reorganizing the National Guard and crealiug a spleudid re servo force. New Orleans has changed the name of Spain street to Dewey ave nue, and it would not be easy to make a more thorough and striking improvement. The mustering figures received at the War Department show that up to this time 100,000 voluuteers have taken the oath of allegiance to sup port the United States Government. The slain at Cardenas were not the first Americans who died that Cuba mieht be frftp. First in tka llaf nr victims in this war will be placed those who were murdered on the Maine. The Charleston carries 8,000 rounds of amuoitiou for Dewey's fleet. None of it will be wasted in case of another fight on the Pacific. Dewey's men have a record as accomplished marksmen. Admiral Dewey is knocking to pieces the few remaining Spanish gun boats in the Philippines. He in tends that American commerce in the Pacifio shall be safe if prompt action can effect it. Prhsident McKisley's opposi' tion to recognizing the insurgent gov eminent as a preliminary to wur has been fully justified by events. The question will await the result of the hard fighting in prospect for the United States. Senop. Polo Bernabe, late minis ter of Spain to the United Slates, who has been at Montreal for some time past, in the interest of his gov em men t has decided that it would be best to leave Canada before he told to get out. His presence in the Queen's dominions since bis depar ture frun Washington has aroused the indignation of some of the most influential newspapers of Canada, and they have spoken in no uncertain language. There is little difference between permitting Polo to plot ogaiust the United States on Cana dian soil and furnishing the enemy with munitions of war at Canadian ports. Landing Troops In Cuba. A Washington dispatch of the 23d says : It is slated here that the first section of the invading army bassafe ly landed in Cuba and that tho tec ond section will proceed immediately The opinion among military ex perts is that our troops will be in Ha vana within a week. Great ennfi dence is expressed iu the rumors that troops have already started. It well known that we could transport 25,000 troops irom Tampa inside o thirty-six hours. The first detach meat was to have left Tampa jester day and another was to go to day The censorship of course prevents any thing being known of what i going on at Tampa, but that a surprise is preparing for Blaooo there is no duuht. A Key West special reports that the Cubans and Spaniards had an en gagement on Thursday last, fifteen miles west of Matauzas, the fighting being waged right in sight of the blockading ships. Three hundred were engaged on each side. The firing continued until after dark. Friday morning a squad of Spanish cavalry and a battalion of infantry were ob served retreating along the beach in the directiou of Havana. It is be lieved the Cubans are rapidly push ing toward the coast aud will join the United States troops when the latter are landed. Three weeks have passed since Dewey won bis victory, and the Mad rid government has done nothing to ward recoveriug Manila harbor. The talk of sending a fleet to retake it is moonshine. Gladstone, the grand old man of England is dead. He was one of the world's greatest men, and centuries of history will not efface bis memory. William Evart Gladstone was aged S3 years. His end, which occurred ou the 19th iost., was most peaceful. The Prohibition State Convention, which held its sessions in Harrisburg ast week, nominated the following ticket: For Governor, Dr. S. C. Swal- ow of Harrisburg ; Lieut. Gov., E. D. Nickols of Wilkes Barre; Secy, of Interual Affairs, S. W. Dixon of Berwick ; Judge of Superior Court, ewis D. Vail of Philadelphia; Con- gressraan-at-Largo, Geo. II. Garbcr of Pittsburg and P. E. Sharplees of Delaware county. A thoughtful writer reminds us that down in the bold of the ship, dowu where the engineers aud fire men have no weapous, but are busily engaged iu studying the steam guages and iu feeding the ravenous grates with coal and furnishing the boilers with steam, is where grit is most iu lemam). They are cut off from the excitement that stimulates heroic deed in the men at the guns, and without an avenue of escape, without a chance of safety if the vessbl is lost, they must await the outcome of the deadly struggle. Li til-: do they know when a torpedo will ram its nose against the vessel's side, tear a great rent iu the bull, and let in a flood of water that will drowu them almost before they can move from their posts. The dnties of the men on deck re quire good mettle, but the duties of the men iu the hold of the battleship require the most superb heroism and courage. There is less talk of European in tervention lo eud the Spanish war tbau was heard a few days ago. Of course if the intervention occurs it will take the form of pressure on Spain to force her to jjive up the fight. No European nation will interfere with the United States. The only way iu which Europe can bring the war to an end at the present juncture is to coerce Spain to surrender, and Europe is not likely to attempt this until after the next American victory. It would be rather inconvenient for the United States to have Spain give up uutil after we capture Porto Rico. We probably would have to take Porto Rico from Spain in some subse quent war if she should sue for peace now beforo we make an assault on thai island. Therefore, after her fleet on this side of the water is captured or sunk we mast immediately cap ture Porto Rico, so as to get it before Spain's collapse takes place. Spain's authority iu Cuba is Inst even if the war should eud to day, but wo want to prevent her from starting another Cuban complication near our kbores, wbirb might cause a war a year or ten years hence.

Interesting Letter From Itcr.McAnlnch Mr. Editor: While waiting in the Oiark Hotel Sringfield, Mo., form train East at 11:30 to-night, partly lu compliance with promise, aud partly to put in the time, I sit mo down to write you. Our trip West last week was a most pleasant one in every respect. The trains were all on time, tbe weather was per fect and we were well. Nothing could have been added to our comfort and pleasure Soon alter leaving Tionnsta the scenery began te change. The fruit trees were fuller of blossoms, the foliage more advanced and fields were greener, The atmosphere also changed, so that on leaving Pittsburg It was almost uncom fortably warm in the car, A heavy rain storm just as we were leaving St. Louis the following evening cooled olT the air and gave refreshing Bleep. Here It is summer. The blossoms are gone, the foliage almost toll size, wheat about root nigh, and coin, potatoes, peas, beans, onions, lettuce, etc., putting out of the ground. It has been, extremely wet here all spring which has hindered farmiDg, but has given the whole land scape the appearance of healthful cleanll ncss. Tbe country In this part of Missouri is fine. It Is sulllciontly rolling to give good drainage, some of the streams hav ing a very swilt current, and the soil is fertile. Everywhere beautiful well kept farms abound. This is the famous fruit bolt of the State. Apples in particular are raised in abundance. Apple orchards here are like the corn fields of Kansas, or the wheat fields of the Dakotas, covering tbe face of the earth. The largest orcherds I have ever seen whole forties, eighties er one hundred aud sixties regularly laid out and planted with apple trees. All other fruits, large and small, abound. The farming here is more diversified than in many places in the west, corn, oats, and winter wheet ar6 grown. There is also much timber. I understand that this is an exception ally good locality, that further north and east are tho foothills of the Ozarks, where the soil is not so fertile and smooth, and where the sharp, flinty stone abounds in great profusion. They have their drawbacks here also. The drouth frequently catches them as it did last summer, burning up the ground and injuring fruit and grass the follow ing year. Another thing that is not pleasant is the cyclone. One passed through a few inilos south of Bolivar on Sunday, May 1st, that did considerable damage and killed two persons. I saw the Baptist church at Tremont which had boon destroyed. Services weie be ing held at tho time, but the congrega tion got frigbtoned and left the preacher talking to the empty pews. The last persons had scarcely got out till the roof was raised up and dropped on top of the walls which had been crushed in by the storm. One lady was lifted from her horso, and another lost her new spring hat never again to find a thread nor feather of it. A few other buildings were moved from their foundations but not much injured. There was quite a storm last night that for a while looked threatening but it blew over or away somewhere else. While the clouds were blackest and the lightning flashing some one put up a balloon with a fire be neath which added somewhat to tho ter rific appearanco of the heavens. Ner vous people, I suppose, could not see tbe joko. The war fever is as high here as in the East and more enthusiasm is manifest. Everybody is talking war, and voluntoer companies are being organized. There is no North, no East, no South, no West. It is our country, the United States. In St. Louis a company marched Into the depot while I was there. A policeman, pointing to a middle aged man walking with them said : "That is Frank James, and that boy in the company is his son." This statement did not send the cold chills coursing over my frame as it might have done a few years ago when the James brothers were the terrors of the west. Frank is now a law-abiding, respected citizen. A fake telegram was received last night that Sampson's tloet had met the enemy and bad suffered the loss of two of his ships and that he had gone down with one of them. This created consid erable excitement for a while. Springfiold is a city of about 35,000 in habitants, a railroad center, and full of business. The land is rapidly being taken up aud fenced in and improved. The open country affords an excellent place in which to get lost. I have had experiences of this kind both in Iowa and Missouri at night. This time I os- caped, however, by staying in. The rivers, which are all small here, rise very suddenly and make fording dan gerous. Only a few weeks ago two horses with saddles and bridlos on wore seen floating on the Big Stock with no elue to their ridors. The Pom de Torre, (so named from the peculiar lruit grow ing on its banks), swells from a stream the size of Tionesta creek to a half mile wide in a few hours. The banks are low and level. After another day's stay in Missouri, I expect to pull up at Winona where I shall hear more and see loss. Yours, J. V. MoAninch, "It Is the Best on Earth."
