Consul hero to be cabled in cipher to his government.
The further information wits elicited that the Spanish fleet at Manila was
utterly destroyed, three hundred Spaniards were killed and four hundred
wounded.
Dewoy did not loso a single man and none of his ships aro injured. Six
American sailors, however, were slightly injured. It was a complete and
decisive victory for the American commander and a disastrous defeat for
the enemy.
THE CABLEORAAl ARRIVES.
Washington, May 7, 10:15 a. m. Secretary Long stated to-day that tho
tlopartment had received a cable despatch at about 5 o'clock this morning
from tho American consul tit Hong Kong merely stating tlm't the despatch
boat MoCullough had arrived there.
About four hours later the long-delayed and anxiously looked for cable

gressman and others for definite information from Manila.
Secretary Long gavo out tho contents of Dewey's cablegram, according
to his previously announced intention, immediately after it had been
deciphered.
The cablegram states that Commodore Dewey has completely silenced
the batteries of the Spanish at Manila. He cut the cable himself, and has
everything at his mercy.
He was unable to take possession of flanlla, however, for lack of men.
None of his men are killed, anil only a few are Injured. The American
ships are uninjured.
Later despatohos say Dowey is in need of no assistance at present, and
that ho can tako Manila at any time. .

the name of tho American people, heartily thank him and his brave men
for tho splendid achievement.

Washington, May 7.
Tlio stato department at tbis liour (10:00 a.
m.) is hourly expecting otllct.il news from
Commodore Dewey. Information lias been
received that the despatch boat Hugh Me
Collough has arrived at Hong Kong with
Dewey's report, and it will only be a delay
of a fow hours before it is recoived, is the in
formation received at the stato department
this morning.
Much speculation is still indulged in hero
as to tho whereabouts of tho Spanish fleet
that lft Capo Vcrdo islands. There is no
doubt they aro bound westward, their desti
nation being Porto Itlco, where Admiral
Sampson's ileet is in waiting for
thorn. Tho navy department has informa
tion that they havo not returned to the
Canary islands, as reported yesterday. There
is no Spanish fleet at those islands. They
left Capo Verdo on April 29, hound westward,
and if they changed their course towards tho
Canaries should have arrived thoro sovoral
days ago. Navy oilicials c-fpect a conflict
with tho Spanish fleet at Porto Rico to-day.
It is learned that our Consul has suddenly
left tho Canaries with plans of tho harbor,
and this is taken as an indication that our
navy will attack that port. Spain is rushing
fortifications at thoso islands, and troops aro
being pressed iuto service in anticipation of
attack by tho Americau fleet.
Tho war department yesterday purchased
30,000 uniforms, 30,000 suits of underclothing
30,000 bluo army shirts, and 15,fi00 tents.
These goods must bo delivered in ten days.
Thcso goods aro to supply deflciucies.
An official of the war department to-day
gave it as his opinion that thoro will be but
little if any real fighting by land. There
will bo no considerable number of volunteers
that will leavo this country for Cuba.

San Jnau, Slay 7. Fivo Americans have

"That grasping, ambitious aud piratical

Detcctivo Itichard Amour returned to town
last evening from Taunton, Man., accom
panied by a man and woman m prisoners.
Tho man was Stlnoy Koschalk, charged witli
larceny, and tho woman was Mrs. Allle
Zergusky, charged with desertion.
Mrs. Zergusky skipped from Treuton, near
Park Place, with ono of her boarders on tho
lBtli of April, last. She took $18.) belonging
to tho husband. Amour also had a warrant
for the boarder's arrest, but the man could
not be extradited on the chargo against lilrn.
Aftor diligent inquiry and search the runa
way wife and her paramour were located in
Taunton, Mass. The boarder was first
arrested. Ho was found working in a cotton
mill. When taken to police headquarters he
stoutly denied his identity and declared th it
ho was never in any coal region. Illue marks
on his bauds, such as aro received by people
whoworkin.co.il mines, led to a breaking
down of tho prisoner's story.but he was under
a stern examination for almost seven hours
bcfoio ho finally told where tho woman whs
working under nu assumed name. When
found tho runaway wifo expressed perfect
willingness to return to hor husband. She
was tired of tho boarder aud did not lelish
working twolvo hours a day in tho cotton
mill. Sho earned $1.30 a day. The boarder
worked in another mill aud earned f 1.40 a
day.
Accompanied by tho woman Amour went
to Weir, Mass., and there arrested Stinoy
Koschalk, who left Morea suddenly a few
months ago after robbing a fellow-boarder's
trunk of about $150. Koschalk also returned
without putting Amour to the trouble of re
sorting to proceedings for extradition. Last
night Koschalk was put under bail for a
hearing before Justice Neal T. lircuuan at
Park 1'laco.
When Mrs. Zergusky was taken to hor
home in Trenton aud confronted by her
husband there was a sceno of tears aud
forgiveness. Tho husband said ho would not
prosccuto the-caso further and consented to
tako tho woman into his domicile again upon
her promise not to take any more trips with
boarders. The husband paid the oxpenscs in
tho caso aud tho wife was released from
custody.
