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

composure sufficiently 1o go ot

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.
