SPAIN WILL FIGHT IIS
I0 1 Bill END!
Sagasta Says the Spaniards will Throw Their Entire
Naval Strength in One Supreme Effort to
Crush Our Fleet in Cuban Waters.
20,000 0El TO INVADE CUBA AT OJlCE I
No News Received From Philip
pine Islands To-day.
Special to RvKNisra Hkhai.d.
London, May 3, 2:30 p. m.A Madrid despatch just re
ceived here says that Spain proposes to adopt an aggressive
position in the future. It has been decided to throw the
whole Spanish naval strength to one supreme effort to crush
the American fleet now in Cuban waters. The despatch
further says that neither the Queen nor the Cortes will listen
to intervention until this engagement is fought. The Ministry
professes to believe that that they can "annihilate Sampson's
squadron in short order."
A Cadiz despatch says the second Spanish squadron has
about completed its preparation for active service.
It is announced that Prime Minister Sagasta will enforce
the Cortes at their session to-day, in behalf of the Queen
Regent, that it is the intention of Spain to pursue the war to
the bitter end. There will be no surrender until it is forced
upon the Spanish government.
Madrid, May 3, Later
Minister of Marines will be proposed before the adjournment
of the Cortes to-day. Important newspapers this afternoon
insist that the Cabinet crisis can only be postponed a few
hours. ,
Washington, M.iy 3,
Immediate measures have been taken by the Navy depart
meiit to relieve Commodore Dewey's ileet at the Philippines of
any embarrassment for want of eoal. Orders have been tele
graphed tho authorities at San Francisco to select two of the
swiftest ships at that port, load them with eoal and despatch them
at once to relieve the Asiatic squadron.
Commodore Dewey's victory off Manila was tho subject of
serious consideration at tho White House and Navy Department
to-day, particularly in reference to the supply of coal Commodore
Dewey's ileet has on hand. It was during the consideration of
this subject that the question of annexing Hawaii has forced Its
self to the front, and will likely be reviewed in the Senate.
Fearing an attack upon tho seaports of the North Atlantic
coast by tho Spanish men-of-war now on their way to western
waters, Secretary Alger took stops to-day to further improve the
seacoast defences. There is excellent authority for tho statement
that the administration believes the Spanish men-of-war will
appear at some port on the coast and attempt to retaliate for tho
loss of tho Philippine Islands by doing as much damage us
possible.
It can be stated authoritively that as soon as Spain's Ileet is
reported at any point there will be a junction of the armorclads
of the North Atlantic and Hying squadrons, and under the com
mand of Rear Admiral Sampson this force will move to give
battle to the enemy. Our scouting ships will be in tho vicinity of
Porto Hico by Thursday.
It is understood that it has been practically decided to order
more than 0,000 troops to leave Tampa and go directly to Cuba.
The day now selected is Thursday. As soon as they land in Cuba
a union will be effected with Insurgents, and a move made against
Havana.
The Senate Finance committee is working on the war rev
enue measure. There will probably bo many changes in the bill
from the shape it passed the House. Tho Senate committee will
probably strike out the tonnage tax to avoid giving offence to
Great Britain.
The probable duration of the present session of Congress is
being discussed. Tho general Impression Is that It will close tho
latter part of this month.
Doth tho State and Naval departments anxiously await
authontio news from Commodore Dewey. Tho cable has been
cut, and particulars are not forthcoming.
WAR WILL BE SHORT.
Great llrltnln Sees the Speedy JJml or the
Conlllct.
Special to Uveninu Herald.
London, May 3, Tho result of tho naval
battle at Manila, In which tho Spaniards suf
fered a humiliating defeat, is tho principal
topic of conversation, especially among the
members of the Stock Exchange, Tho con
sensus of opinion as exprossod to-day Is that
tbo war will not last long. This interpreta
tion is placed upon tho latest news from
Manila. The Teal truth of tho battle will
not be obtainable until Commodore Dowey Is
able to submit his report.
Ambassador Hay, on learning tho result,
said : "Another such a victory will relieve
tho world of tho terrible nightmare of war."
Tests inado to-day show that tbo cable was
cut fifty miles front Manilla. It will require
A vote of censure upon the
possibly a fortnight to repair it.
An important roport gained circulation to
day, to the effect that tho British Ambassa
dor at Washington will bo succeeded by a
high official of the British Foreign office.
This is looked upon as an Important movo on
tho part of Great Britain, and may bo tho
forerunner of a coalition betwocu this coun
try and tho United States.

Aeltcd.
Special to Evening Hkuald.
Madrid, May 3. Martini law was last night
proclaimed, and the capital is now In control
of tho military authorities.
This is tlio result of the continued with
holding of tho wholo truth and tho suspen
sion of tho particulars regarding tho loses
sustained nt Manila. This goaded tho
populace Into a dangerous temper. Mobs
attempted to attack Scuor Moiet's house,
whom they have solected as the scapegoat,
At the meeting of the Chamber of Deputies
to-day an attempt was niado to raise a debate
on the situation, tho government's pulley at
tacked by Senor Robledo, and by Gen.
Weylor In tho Senate
It was feared that tliero would bo trouble
caused In the Cabinet, but the crisis In that
quarter appears to havo been averted by the
assertion of Sagasta that tho government pro
poses to an aggressive position.
There is no idea of surrender on the part
of Spain because of tho reverses at tho
Philippines.
All Is quiet at Madrid to-day. The martial
law proclamation prohibits tho publication of
my news whatever about tho war or navy.
CABINET IN SESSION.
Considering tlio Next Important Xiivul
Mortuent
.Special to Evening IIehald.
Washington, May 3. The Cabinet held an
important session to-day. The next import
ant naval movemont to be made by this
country was under consideration, and the
probable destination of tho Spanish fleet that
left Cape Verde islands last Friday was also
under discussiou.
Tho Cabinet has decided to invade Cuba
with 20,000 men immediately. Transporta
tion for that number has been ordored.
Tho otllcials expect despatches from Com-
modoro Dowey at any time now. In fact it
was thought the government would receivo
authentic knowledge last night, but no
oQIcial advicos had been rccolved up to noon.
Secretary Long to-day stated Commodore
Dowoy would bo made acting Admiral, and
lator would bo nomiuatod as Rear Admiral.
The officials feel that his conduct in the
brilliant naval victory at Manila entitles
him to this promotion.
SAMPSON TO STRIKE.
He May Strike a UIow nt Culm Any
Moment
Special to Kvkn'ing Herald.
Key West, May 3. Everything portends a
decisive movement on tho part of Admiral
Sampson's fleet. Tho news of Dewey's
success was received with much joy, and it
is bolieved will precipitate somothing more
definite than a peaceful blockade of Cuban
ports.
There is a feeling hero to-day that somo
important and decisivo movoment of Admiral
Sampson's licet is pending. All day tliero
his been an unmistakable bustle of prepara
tion on the vessels in tho harbor.
Tho exact nature and location of tho com
ing operation against Cuba is not made pub
lic, hut it can be stated on high authority
that a decisivo blow will bo struck beforo the
end of the week.
Insurgent Victory,
Special to Kveninq Hkuald.
Kingston, Jamacia, May 3. Tho Spanish
have evacuated llayumo, ouo of tho most
important towns of the provinco of
Santiago do Cuba, tho extreme eastern end
of tho Cuban Island. Tho town is now
occupied by tho insurgents, and their
occupation is looked upon as a signal victory
for tho men under Gen. Garcia.

Iluenos Ayrcs, May 3. Advicos received

United States battleship Oregon aud gun
