nottwo-roun- Order to Stop the Receipt of Disastrous News Washington May 4 — The day passed without a single word from the American fleet in the Philippines and in view of the long continued Interruption in cable communication the officials are beginning to resign themselves to the belief that they must await further official news until a boat ’arrives at Hong Kong This will not necessarily be a naval vessel for it is not believed that Commodore Dewey (who will be admiral as soon as he can be reached by cable) could have spared any of his ships even the McCulloch to carry dispatches before the bombardment In ordinary times there is plenty of communication by steamers as by native vessels between the Philippines and the mainland and the officials will be rather surprised if some nows is not coming by this means very soon Who has cut the cable is a source of much speculation A leading diplomat said circumstances would indicate that the cutting had been done by Spanish officials on instructions from Madrid in order to stop the transmission of further news of the disaster there and in that way calm the storm of popular indignation at Madrid It is thought to have been impossible for Commodore Dewey to have cut the ca ble as he was unacquainted with its location fifty miles seaward and moreover there appears to have been no motive for the interruption of communication on his part SPANISH TREACHERY VISIBLE Dynamite Found In Baggage at the Illinola Kendevezvoug Springfield Ills May 4— Experts who have tested the contents of a package found in one of

Spaniards Liable to Attack Some of Our Eastern Seaports Washington April 4 — Fearing an attack upon the seaports of the North Atlantic coast by the Spanish now on their way to western waters Secretary Alger has taken steps to further improve the sea coast defenses There is excellent authority for the statement that the administration believes that the Spanish will appear at some port on the cost and attempt to retaliate for the lossof the Philippine islands by doing as much damage as possible and when this work has been completed sail with all speed to Porto Rico and if necessary fight their way into San Juan “As to the point where Spain will men-of-w- men-of-w- ar ar strike the authorities are totally un able to say New York is considered in very good condition to resist attack but this is not the case with the New England cities and with ports along the southern coast COAL FOR DEWEY Two of the Swiftest Ships Will be Dispatched From San Francisco Washington May 4— Secretary Long has

engagement the guns of Cavite maintained a steadier fire to which the ships replied with telling effect As the smoke lifted it was seen the flagship Reina Christina was on fire The vessel was completely burned In the interval between the two engagements Commodore Montijo moved his flag from the Reina Christina to the smaller cruiser Isle de Cuba To the fact that he made this change he doubtless owes his life The cruiser Castilla next to the flagship the largest and most powerful of the Spanish squadron was also burned The cruiser Don Antonio de Ulloa and the Mindana were also badly
