Wasiiinoton, May 7. Notwithstand
ing tlio fact thut everybody for several
luyn past has been in momentary ex
k elation of cable advices from Com
modoru Dowry, tho town was thrown
into tho wildest excitement at breakfast
time this morning ly tho issuo of extra
papers, announcing tho arrival of tho
UlcCulloch at Hour Kon with dis
patches for tho government from Com
modoro Dewey. Tho publication of
newspaper dispatches telling of tho ter
rible mortality among the Spanish and
tho escape of tho American forces, the
men and ships, from various injury
added to tho excitement and to the in
tense satisfaction witli which the long
expected news was received.
There was an instant rush of news
paper men to tho navy department to
fsecuro further information from oilicial
sources, and, perhaps, dismaytd by the
number and tho impetuosity of the
newspaper contingent, tho ofiicials of
tliw navigation bureau, where cipher
dispatches tire t anseribed and trans
lated, promptly closed and looked their
doors against invasion. One of the of
ficers of the bureau had boon on duty
every 11101 ent of tho '21 hoars for sev
eral weeks past, waiting to receive
cablegrams of importance. A similar
state of affairs has prevailed at tho
stat: department, where one of the as
sistaut secret ark 8 and the chief clerk
have divided up the watches of tho
night, sleeping on temporary cots set
tip in tho anteroom. The state depart
mow. has tho honor of receiving tho
lirst news. It came iu the shape of a
cablegram of three words from United
States Consul Wildman at I long Kong,
and was as follows : "Hong Kong Mc
Culloch. Wildman."
That is the usual form in which
naval movements are reported by cablo.
This dispatch was received by Third
Assistant Secretary Cridler, who was
turned out 01 ms cot by a messenger
boy at 4 :40 a. 111. The naval ollicials
were prompriy notified and awaited
with intense interest tlie dispatch which
was expected to surely follow from
Commodore Dewey.
Itring tlit Official Cablegram.
About half past nine Manager Marean
of tho Western Union Telegraph com
pany, apjH'ared at the department,
bringing with him a sheet comprising
four lines of the mysterious jargon
which makes up t lie naval cipher. Ho
handed this directly to Secretary Long,
who gazed at it for a moment and
turned it over to Lieutenant Whittlesey,
one of the cipher experts of the naviga
tion bureau, for translation into Eng
lish. Then tho secretary made a pre
tense of sitting down at his desk to
transact other business, but it was plain
to bo seen that in spirit he had joined
tho anxious crowd of newspaper men
who thronged the reception rooms
waiting for the news.
The naval cipher is one of the most
complex in tho world. The messages
come in words of strange formation,
taken from all languages. These words
are turned by the translation clerks
into groups of figures, and these in turn
are resolved into their equivalent words
in English. All this takes time. Mean
while Secretary Alger, hearing of the
receipt of the . news, came over from
the war department to see his colleague,
but lie was also obliged to wait patiently
for the translation. Senator Hoar, a
member of tho foreign relations com
mittee also joined Secretary Long
and waited npon the cable experts.
About 10 o'clock a prominent official
pave the newspaper men a brief ab
stract of tho cablegram as far as re
ceived. This only whetted the interest
of the crowd in waiting. Half an hour
later Secretary Long appeared with a
copy of the translated cablegram in his
hand. Thcro was a great rush towards
him, but the secretarj', good natnredly,
made allowance for the excitement of
the crowd, and smilingly read from the
corner of the room, into which he had
been forced, the following cablegram :
Text of Dewey's Ii.patch.
Manila, May 1. The squadron arrived
at Manila at daybreak this morning. I
immediately engaged the enemy and de
stroyed the Spanish war vessels Keina
Christina, Cast ilia, TJlloa, Islo do Cuba,
General Lozao, the Duero, Correo, Mina-
cano, Velesco, Mindanoa, transport, and
the water battery at Cavite. The squad
ron is uninjured, and only a few men
were slijihtly injured. The only means of
telegraphing is to the American consul at
Hong Kong. I shall communicate with
him. G. Dewey.
It was at once noticed that the cable
pram, as officially promulgated, did not
entirely agree with the brief summary
of its points which had been previously
given out, and the immediate presump
tion was that in the short time accorded
for consideration, the officials had con
cluded that it was public policy to ex
purgate the dispatch. Thus, as made
public, it contained no reference to the
cutting of the cable by Admiral Dewey.
It was also noticed that tho dispatch
bore date of May . The McCulloch
could not have occupied more than six
days in making tho short run across
to Hong Kong. Therefore, it was im
mediately assnmel that the above dis
patch was only the first of the two moro
that had been brought over to Hong
Kong by the McCulloch. In other
words. Commodore Dewey had written
Sunday night, stating in nis message-
brief account of the nay's work. In
stead of sending it immediately by tho
McCulloch to Hong Kouy, ho had de
layed that vessel for two or three days
at least, probably to use her in tho sub
sequent bombardment of the town and
forts. The events ot these last few days
were inao the subject of a further dis
patch, which says :
Cavite, May 4. I have t:i';e:ij nssin
(if n;.v. l swim at, f.ivlto on .1.1. iptr.no
Islands. Have destroyed (he fortifica
tions at bay ei.tr.nu-', purolliiig garrison.

our lines. Much excitement at Manila.

Itawey Appointed Actinic Admiral.
IJy decision bv the uresideut. Secre
tary Long sent tho following cablo dis
patch to Commodore Dewey :
Wash 1 soTo v, May 7. To l)owov, Ma
nila: The president, in the name of
the American p-ople, thanks you
and your ollieers and rien, for your splen
did nchievomcnt and overwhelming vie
tory. In recognition, he has apointcd
you acting admiral, and will recommend
a vote of thanks to you by congress.
IiONO.
Ah the last word or the dispatcn was
uttered, several of the on lookers'
called for three cheers for Dowey. They
were given with a will, and tho oilicial
serenity of the navy department, for tho
moment was broken bv a round of
cheers which fairly tdinok the building.
The officials of the navy department
were simply amazed at the extent of
the mortality inflicted upon the Span
iards by Admiral Dewey, for from the
moment when Secretary Long sent his
dispatch of congratulation tho com
modore became an admiral. Officers
scratched their heads in vain to think
of any genuine hostile engagement be
tween armea rorces that lias been so
one-sided iu its results as tho battlo of
Manila and tho subsequent engage
ments.

I notice an item in your paper to
tho effect that an artillery company

desiro to enlist, but I must impose
some conditions. I shall insist that
Col. Pred Kroehler be captain of the
company, and inasmuch as we sdouiii
have soma munitions of war to start
with, that ho provide the company
with the cannon at Nehawka, that he
went for once, but didn't get. If he
can't show valor enough to get that
cannon ho ought not bo captain, and
if he is not captain I will not enlist
in tho company, but with these condi
tions complied with, I am ready to
ine' you." Yours truly,
E. II. Woolky.

Col. Kroehler and he has taken it

Will Increase ltdCapaeily
Tho Heisel flouring mill in this city
which is one of tho best equipped in
tho state has out grown its present
quarters. C. Iieisel, the proprietor
went to Omaha this morning to pur-
an SO-horse power engine as the pres
ent 3-5-horse power is too light for the
work which has to be performed. The
excellence of Mr Heisel's flour and the
courteous treatment of customers has
built ud an enormous business. No
further increase in buildings or ma
chinery can be made until a new en-
trine has been secured and when that
is put in placo the mill can then be
doubled in capacity. The extensive
irr proveraents will begin s soon as
Mr. Heisel decides fully what is needed.
Tho News is glad to noto tho great
success which has attended Mr. Heis
el's efforts to buildup a big business in
thisdity.

From Satur.jHy's Daily.
P. II. Steimkcr'a department at tho
IJ. & M. shops iu this city, which com
prises fully I()0 men, purchased a fine
18 foot flag which was unfurled from
the top of a polo on one of tho round
houses at ono o'clock this afternoon.
Foreman Steimker arranged to have
tho Modern Woodman band out, and
a few minutes before ono o'clock this
afternoon an immense crowd assembled
in front of tho shops occupied by Mr.
Steimker's foice. Tho flag was made
ready but before hoisting it to its
proud height Mr. Steimker was called
upon for a speech and in a few words,
lerviu with patriotic sentiment lie
called attention to tho great nation of
which his bearers were a part which
now lor the lirst lime 111 lilty yoars
was united as ono man ready to fight
ano 1110 lor ihe nag, which meani so
much. No north, no south but a f:-eo
united country. Mr. Steimker then
road tho latest bulletins from Manilla
which wero well received. The band
then played tho "Star Spangled Ban
ner in a way to firo tho hearts of every
listener. At a signal from tho fore
man tho flag was hoisted to its place
but it being twisted John Lindamen
and Henry Steinhauer quickly t-caiod
the roof of the building and old glory
thrown to ihe bree.o while hundreds
of men rent the air with their voices
and the engines whistled a din of de
light. The band then played a few
more patriotic airs and tho crowd dis
persed.
It was an impressive sight to pee.
when the flag was raised, scores of Bo
hemians, Germans, Polanders, Hun
garians and all other nationalities, all
Americans vioitig with the native
born doing enthusiastic homago to the
flag. Tho News congratulates Fore
man Steimker and his patriotic men
who now havo tha largest flag in the
city fhatineovor their quarters.
Nebraska Soldier Hoys.
A News representative visited Camp
Saunders at Lincoln last Friday and
found the soldier boys all happy nfior
tho bad woather which they had gone
through for several dajs. The cirop
surroundings 3howcd that the boys
had been tramping through plenty of
mud, sleeping in wet beds and had
had quite a touch of army life
Medical examinations were being
held and the boys who had not been
'on the carpet1' wero anxious and
very much exercised lest they could
not pass examination. They nearly all
seemed anxious to go to war and were
aehintr for an encounter with tho
Spaniards. Only occasionally could
follow be Tounu who wanted to go
home. These were tho fellows who
went to camp with the idea of having
some fun. They didn't know as much
ibout war as a rabbit and when the
rain came on and they had spent all
the money thev brought from home
they wanted to back out. A number
of uniformed boys wero seen on the
streets very much drunk and it is
altogether likely several of the bovs
havo spent all their eparo money rind
thus tho novelty has worn oil, hence
their desiro to go homo. Douhtlet-s
iittlo moro strict discipline would keep
these debauches in better trim.
