ITe added. howeverttm.Vrts were prehension os cabe frQm M& fiHa cut. and. furthermore, no fears were entertained as to Commodore Dewey's ability to maintain his posi tion. There was no doubt, the secretary said, that Commodore Dewey's fleet had annihilated the Spanish fleet, and with this much accomplished Dewey was master of the situation at Manila. It was suggested to Long that the shore batteries at Cavite and the Corregidor island might be a serious menace to the American fieet, but the secretary did not share this view, holding that the strength of the Olympia and otherships in Dewey's command was ample to make him master of Manila bay and its surroundings. Siiinpsoii'w DeHtinsition a Swret. No news could be gleaned at the navy department relative to the movements of Admiral Sampson's ironclads, but from the confident tone of the few offi cials who are acquainted with thepolicy of the department they are expectin to hear very soon of news from his pquadron almost as interesting and im portant as that received from the Phil ippines last Monday. A high officer of the administration yesterday almost demolished the theory that Admiral Sampson was going to succor the Oregon, now on her way from Brazil to join the north Atlantic squadron. He declared that the navy department was under no apprehensions about the Oregon. That left openas possible points of operations for Sampson either Porto Rico or some port on the Cuban coast, but just which theory is to be accepted is not even hinted at by the departmental officials. First Action with the Cubans. The government tug Leyden arrived at Key West, Fla,, yesterday bringing news of the first fight in which United States and Cuban forces were engaged together against the Spaniards. The Leyden left Key West Monday after noon with a party of insurgents under General Baldamore Acosta, and In cluding five Cuban scouts under the leadership of Captain J. H. Dorst, of the United States cavalry. The Leyden also carried a large quantity of arms end ammunition. The tug landed five men with four boxes of ammunition ard two horses. General Acosta also landed and penetrated to the interior, where he communicated with the forces of the insurgents. The Leyden lay to outside until 5 o'clock In the morning; when observing a troop of Spanish In fantry approaching she put to sea and got safely away. The same night she proceeded to Matanzas and Tuesday afternoon landed another small party near there. Spanish Cavalry Swoops Down. Here she was met by Acostaand about 200 Cubans, half of whom were armed with rifles. They united with the men on the tug and an attempt was made to land the remaining arms and men. when a troop of 200 of the Villa Vicosa cavalry swooped down on them, and a fierce engagement of a half hour's duration followed. The Cubans finally repulsed the enemy, driving them into the woods. During this engagement several rifle bullets went through the Leyden's smokestack, but no one was Injured. Rear Admiral Sampson hear ing of the fight sent the gunboat Wil mington, which found the Spanish cav alry In waiting to welcome another ftt j tempted Invasion. The Wilmington promptly opened fire upon a number cf ' small housea marking the entrance to j the place. The gunboat fired four shots, which Immediately drove bak (ii-ii. Itlarx-o Speaks to tlio 1 pu t I. h, Crllt tlll I'lM'lo Sillll. j Washington, May C. A delayed din patch from Havana dated May 4 and , copyrighted by the Associated Press gives in detail the ceremonies at tha i opening of the first congrers of Cuba under the autonomous government, by General Blanco. There was a proces clon, an imposing mllifary display, and the streets were decorated with flags and banners. At 2 p. m. a salute of fifteen guns from the Cabanas battery announced the departure of the captain general from the palaco. At the hall of congress the members of the auton omous government were awaiting the captain general, and on his arrival there another salute of fifteen guns was fired from the fortress. Among those pres ent were the officers of the British and French cruisers Talbot and Fulton. The captain general was received with the greatest respect when he en tered the hall, which was finely decor ated. After taking his position the cap tain general said in substance: "I take great pleasure in seeing the representa tives of this Island unite here for the first time. In spite of the fact that the United States has tried to impede the re-establishment of peace, Spain has fulfilled her promises of Introducing re forms in Cuba, and was approaching a reconciliation and the ending of the war. But the United States, though speaking of peace and autonomy, has tried to prevent us from bringing them about. If the declaration of the United States had been sincere. Its guns ought to be saluting today the first Cuban parliament, instead of threatening the lives of its members, and proving itself so false to their policy, ambitions and plans. Spain has given the Island all she Is authorized to do, for the purpose of re storing peace, and without any condi tions and Spain has declared that it will be made more ample still, if such a course is judged to be necessary by the members of this congress. Itigid customs and other rules were abolished In order to help the reconcentrados, the victims of the fight sustained by the United States. We admitted free of du ties the 'help' sent from America sent for the purpose of Increasing the exist ing discords. In short, nothing has been left undone which might satisfy the as pirations of the people, if compatible with the national honor. "On the petition of his holiness, the pope, and the European powers, hostili ties were suspended in order to treat for peace; when, ignoring all this, the president of the United States declared that the autonomous form of govern ment had turned out to be a failure when parliament had not even been as sembled and the ratrlots of the United States were excited by the declaration that Spaniards caused the Maine catas trophe, forgetting the generous hospi tality her sailors received here. And now the United States is taking up arms to impose its domination. Before such an outrage Spaniards and Cubans must unite to defend the fatherland, and the reconciliation will be all th, fnor Spain"and of the autonomy of Cuba all have Spanish blood in. their veins or were born on this soil." When he had finished reading his message Captain General Blanco shouted "Vive Kspana," which cheer was responded to with considerable en thusiasm. The captain general then declared the Cuban congress open and administered the oath to the deputies He asked all of them if they swore to always defend Spain, and wasanswered with a spontaneous "Yes." The mem bers of the Cuban congress, previous to the formal opening of that body, held a meeting for the purpose of organiza tion. Dr. Jose Cueto presided. Thirty- seven deputies, of whom ten are Con servatives, presented to the secretary of justice, Senor Govin, their certicates of election. THE MARKETS.
