Washington, May 7.?A dayo excitement such as to-day lias no | 1 been seen in Washington sine, the days when reports came in o great victories during the eivi war. Official and unofficial Wash, ington was in a ferment, and lev of the employes in any of the de partments could maintain thei composure sufficiently 1o go ot with their routine work. Then were in some explm ive ; te ::m I at the great stat^, war a \ navj 'department building the leas! sign of dispatches or the gather ing of a crowd of reporters wen | sufficient to cause thorn to droj their work and swarm in the cor ridors clamoring for news.

J FIRST NEWS FROM FLEET. The State dopartnient has the honor oi rec wing the lir&l news from the lle< :. It came in the shape of a cablegram of three words from United States consul Wildmun at Hong Kong, and was as follows : Hong Kong. McColloch. Wild man." That is the usual form in whirl naval movements are reported In cable. This dispatch was re ceived by Third Assistant Secretary (.'ridler, who had been 01 duty all night, at 1:40 o'clock thi: morning. The naval ollicials won promptly notified and awaitci with intense interest the dispatel which was expected to surely fol low from Commodore Dewey. llefbro this, a brief summary cablegram as far as received ha*, been given out bv a prominent officer, in which it was stated tha Dewey cut the cable himself, bu was unable to take possession o the town of Manila for lack o men ; also, I hat ho had the bav\ and everything else at his mercy It was immediately noticed thai the cablegram as oHic.ially pro mitigated did not entirely agree with this brief summary, and the I resumption was that in the short time accorded for consid r ation the oliicials had conclude! 1 hat it was public policy to ex purgate the dispatch. A 8KCONL) DISPATCH, A second dispatch was recoiveti fi Commodore Dowey before /iQno. Tr, t t ElN S11MI-W R R K LaY . <:r, s. c., wednesd )' iiotm.

Ad i' miral Dewey cut the cable hi in sell, and, though he offers no ex planation for so doing, it is he iieved that his purpose was in [only to prevent the Spanish gov 1 ernor general from commiinieatini ' with his own government, hu > j also to prevent the foreign con % % * i - AY, MAY *11, 1898! i snls ul .Manila from interfering 11 i with his plans by calling protests I to their governments.

I ; t ' A closer examination of the I two cablegrams shows that in the news as orignally given out the b names of two Spanish vessels had 1 been oniitU 1 l'roin the list of i. those destroyed.

The Luzon was a ' it 1,000 ton gunboat similarly j" I- armed. Thai makes eleven Span . ish ships destroyed by Dewey in the short space <>1" two hours. As he loll the navy depart r ment this afternoon. Secretary 1 i, Long said, in answer to a ques ' . lion, that he had nothing further ' to eominunicate the public; lie t had ?rivon already, all of the news s that the McChillocli brought, save A It a trilling detail not of general in j r terest and of importance only to L Y the department. The receipt ad- j c vices at the State department,! however, from commercial sources ij " indicate; that further n*ws may a * lie corniny by commercial steam-' L! r ers. u 'l'lie navy department to-day f bought another boat, the hiy <. . steam yacht Dorothy, now at \ , s Cramps' yard at Philadelphia a? 1 . r> built tor McKoan.

How the Spaniards could! ! have lost 1 ~>0 killed and '250 ' ^ | wounded, while the American loss I 0 1 , ; | j was confined to a lew men slightly injured, is regarded hy the for- v eign observers as clearly disclos- i II . ing the utter worthlessness of the \ Spanish arms. The ambassador of one of the gieat powers said it i showed that the guns on their s S I ships were worthless,, otherwise ( they would have inflicted at least s some mortality upon the Ameri| can sailors.
