ACTING AS GOVERNOR GENERAL Important News From Singapore Regarding Commodore Dewey. Boston. May .3. The following cablegram, received by F. T.

Viles, of Boston, from a friend in Singapore, was read at the banquet of the Electric Club to-night: Singapore, May 5, 193. Reliable Information received here corroborating news of Dewey's victory at Manila and he Is now executing the duties of Governor General there. NO REPORT FROM DEWEY. Secretary Long Convinced, However. That He Will Maintain His Posi-.

tion. Washington. May 5. Secretary Long aid at the close of office hours to-day that up to the time he had received no word from Commodore Dewey. He added, however, that he felt no apprehen-lon over this lack of news, because in the first place reports were not expected, with the cable from'Manila cut.

nd, furthermore, no fears were entertained as to Commodore Dewey's ability to maintain his position. 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 Long that the shore batteries at Cavlte amd on the Corregidor Island might be a serious menace to the American but the Secretary did not share this view, holding thut the strength of the Olympia and other ships In Dewey's command was ample to make him master of Manila bay and Its surroundings. The department Is taking steps to render effective aid to the Commodore In the matter of supplies, and a constructor of high ability is to go out at once to repair the damages sustained in the battle of Manila.

Preparations for a suitable convoy for the supply ships was alsr indicated by the choice of a commander and oilU'ers for the I cruiser Charleston, now at Mare Island. It is recalled at the Navy Department in this connection that, having secured the surrender of Manila, the Commodore would be able to secure-any of labor, and of such material as 1 cities as Manila affords for the repair of his ships. He also would be able to place his wounded in comfort in some of the Manila hospitals or other public buil I--Jngs. It is always a desire of a prudent naval commander to get his wounded "ashore at the earliest possible opportunity, as they stand better chances of recovery. ORDERS FOR PROVISIONS.

Washington. May 3. The Navy Department will ship pounds of powder to Commodore Dewey to add to the stock he now has left. This will be made up of about 80.CWW) pounds of the gide used for the big eight-inch guns, 60,000 pounds for the six-inch guns. 50,000 pounds for.

the five-inch guns and lesser amounts for other classes of guns. This, with the large number of eight-inch armor-piercing projectiles, shells and six-inch and flve-inch rille balls, w'll make the shipment of ammunition a very larice one. The powder and shot together will give rounds for the big guns and several thousand rounds for the rapid-fire rifles. THE BOND FEATURE WILL LIKELY BE OPPOSED BY JONES AND W0LC0TT. Democrats Will Favor Substitute In War Bill Providing For Greenback Issue.

AGREED UPON. Washington, May 3. The Senate Committee on Finance as a body not In session to-day, having adjourned over until to-morrow in order to permit the Democratic members to prepare a substitute for the bond provision of the bill. There is now little doubt that there will be a majority in committee against the bond feature, as Senator Jones, of Nevada, has taken a position against it, and Senator Wolcott has Indicated that he will oppose. It if an acceptable substitute can be secured.

The Republican members of the committee with the exception of Senator Wolcott. were in conference over the situation for several hours. There Is little doubt from Senator Wol- cott's expressions in the committee yes- iemu ana me. iact that he did not sit with the Republican members to-day that he will vote to eliminate the bond provision, but it Is understood that he is not so cl-ar as to the support of a substitute. The Republican members are disturbed over the discovery of his position, and are considering how best to repair the.

breach occasioned by his probable defection. They were not so greatly surprised at Mr. Jones' position, although they had hoped to be able to secure his support of the measure practically as it passed the House. The proposition on which Senators Wolcott and Jones, of Nevada, voted with the Democrats in the Committee rn Finance yesterday was a general declaration to the effect that the bill should provide more than In revenue. In this the two Western Senators aligned themselves with the Democrats and la opposition to the Republicans.

The declaration was construed by the Republican members as In opposition to the bond provision, but it is asserted that neither of the Senators made a positive declaration' against the bonds. The DenioTTut ic members of the Finance Committee held a conference late this afternoon and agreed upon an amendment tliey will ofter to the bill Imposing a tax of 1 per cent, upon the revenues of certain corporations, including railroad, express, sleeping car, telegraph ami telephone companies. This probably is the only addition they will suggest to the revenue poiiion of the bill, but it is probable that they will also urge the coinage of. the silver seigniorage in the Treasury and the issuance of at least Sl.jO.utjO.000 In greenbacks. These two last propositions have not been agreed upon, but they have been discussed sufficiently to warrant the prediction that they wi'l tie incorporated in the Democratic substitute for the bond feature of -the bill.

The seigniorage amounts to about S42.0ixj.-tH, ami the intention is to authorize the issuance of certificates fur it, so as to secure immediate money and not wait upon the coinage of the silver. These certificates, with the greenbacks, would give Si 92. WO. 000 of Immediate cash, and the Democrats think tMs would be sufficient for the immediate wants of the Government. They believe that lite tax they propose on corporations would inoiease the rtgular revenues to the extent of about annually.

The Republican members of the committee to-day considered the advisability, of a t.Tx upon transfers of stocks and bonds, and it is probable that they will propose such an amendtrient, as It i in believed that if incorpo rated in the I bill it would go far toward reconciling Senator Wolcott to the measure.

TUG LEYDEN'S ADVENTURE. LANDED AMMUNITION AT MA-RIEL UNDER CAVALRY FIRE. MEN SENT TO THE INTERIOR. Copyright, lsvs, James Gordon Bennett. Key West.

May 5. Special Cable. Important information regarding the Spanish forces in Cuba was gained by the tug Leyden's expedition, which left here last Monday. Details of this information I am not permitted to give, but I can say that the expedition was successful in every sense. Aside from Interviews with leaders direct from the insurgent camps, a large quantity of ammunition was landed near Mariel and safely conveyed by the Insurgents Into the interior.

Spanish cavalry made two attacks while communication between the men from the Leyden and the Insurgent leaders was in progress, but the only damage done i was to the paint on the Leyden's smokestack, which was struck by bullets from the Spaniards' rifles. Haldamero Acnsta, an Insurgent chief, and five other Cubans were with the expedition. Three of them remained on the to gather further Information, while Gen. Acosta and J. E.

Gara-tya returned to Key West. The. tug effected a landing on Tuesday near Mariel. on the north coast of Cuba, a few miles west of Havana, where It had been arranged to meet Col. Perlco Delgado, of the Insurgent army, and deliver to him dispatches to Gen.

Mayra Rodriguez. In command of the insurgent forces in Pinar del Rio district. Gen. Acosta. 'Antonio Morla'Leona, Marcos Diaz and Albert Guzman were put ashore, charged with the delivery of these The Leyden then steamed east along the coast, under cover of the blockading fleet, to a point near Cardenas, where Gen.

Donreano Prado and Ambroza Diaz went ashore. Everything went according to the prearranged plans. Insurgents in sufficient numbers to make a stand, who were in concealment afforded by bushes, eluded the Spanish cavalry patrolling at some distance from the coast line, and joined the party landed at Mariel. When the Leyden returned there under cover -of darkness on Tuesday night it was found that Gen. Acoeta and his companions were in consultation with Col.

Delgado, who Is In command of a brigade in that zone, and who- had one hundred Insurgents with him. Col. Delgado went aboard the tug soon after daylight Wednesday, and the work or landing the freight and ammunition on board the latter consisting of 50.000 rounds and two boxes of dynamite was continued. A few boxes had been safely conveyed to shore, when a troop of Spanish cavalry suddenly galloped into view, shooting wildly and without efTect. Insurgents, hidden behind clumps of bushes, near the beach, returned the fire.

About twenty shots were exchanged, the Spaniards retreating after the first volley. This engagement took place In full view of the tug, which was anchored not more than three, hundred yards away. After the Spaniards had disappeared Col. Delgado, who had left the tug and returned to shore, signalled to the Leyden to land the rest of the am munition. Continuation of this work was deemed Imprudent, however, at that time by the officers of the Leyden, who feared a re-enforcement of the Spanish cavalry that had made the at- tack Just ended, and the Interception of the Insurgents before they could safely get their boxes into the interior.

Insurgents were left to guard what had already been landed, and the Leyden steamed away to the west to meet the Wilmington, which was blockading In front of Morro Castle. It was about 8 o'clock In the forenoon when the brush between the Spanish cavalry and insurgents took place on the beach, and five hours later the Leyden returned followed by the Wilmington. Col. Delgado and his men were still there, having remained concealed in the bushes. While the Wilmington remained In sight no Spaniard was seen, and the gunboat returned to Its station off Morro Castle.

When it was about three miles away the Leyden resumed the work of landing cargo. The ammunition had all been conveyed to the shore, when the Spanish again appeared and began a fusillade with their rifles, several shots striking the tug. Meanwhile the Insurgents took to the bushes and succeeded in escaping, the tug seeming to be the main object of the Spanish attack. Her smokestack Is Indented and the ventilator perforated. The Leyden carries only one small gun, but during the morning some wooden poles and a flagstaff were mounted on deck to resemble cannon, and It la believed the sudden flight of the Spaniards after firing one volley In the first attack was caused by the Impression they received of the warlike- qualities of the Leyden.

lying only a few yards off shore, a mistake which they did not discover for some hours. Capt. J. H. Dorst.

of Gen. Miles' staff, was on the Leyden. He did not go ashore, but had a long talk with Col. Delgado while the latter was on board the tug. He brought back information which I learn will have' a marked Influence on the disposition of our troops when the invasion of Cuba Is begun.

When I saw Capt. Dorst this morning he said much information that was desired had been obtained by the Cubans who went ashore from the Leyden. I learned that the Spanish have the entire coast guarded, or, rather, patrolled, and are preparing to quickly concentrate a force at any point where a landing is made by our army. trtf BLANCO Formally Opens the First Cuban Congress WITH GREAT BLUSTER. PLEASED TO SEE THE ISLANDERS "UNITED FOR FIRST CAPTAIN GENERAL'S SPEECH.

Havana, May 5. With great ceremony the First Congress of Cuba, elected under the autonomous form of government, was formally opened yesterday by Captain General anco. Every effort was made by the Spanish officials to give brilliancy to the occasion. There was a procession, an imposing military the streets were decorated with flags and banners, and the Captain General made what was intended to be an lm-! presslve speech. In the course if which he said that if the declaration of the United States had been sincere its guns to-day ought to be saluting the first Cuban Parliament Instead of threatening the lives of its members.

The volunteers at 12 p. m. were drawn up on both sides of street leading from the palace to the hall cf Congress, located in the building formerly known as the Casino From the time the Autonomist Government was established the Casino was devoted to its purpose. At 2 p. m.

a salute of guns from the Cabas battery announced the departure of the Captain General from the palace. First came a detachment of cavalry, and then, in a landau, were Gen. Parrado. the military Commander of Havana; Gen. Solano, chief of staff, and two Adjutants, after which was a carriage in which were seated Captain General Blanco, Gen.

Following the Captain General's carriage were- many officers on horseback, and after them came a detachment of the civil guard. A force of cavalry wound up the procession, which passed through Obispo street to the Parque Isabella Cat oik to the dragones thoroughfare, and to the hall of Congress. At the hall, the members of the Autonomous Government were awaiting the Captain General, and on his arrival there, at about 2:15 p.

another salute of fifteen guns was fired from the fortress. Assembled In the hall, in addition to members of Congress, the colonial Secretaries, were Admiral Manterola'. Gen. Iosado. the civil military authori- ties.

the Bishop, the foreign Consuls and the commanders and officers of the Urit-lsh cruiser Talbot and the French cruiser Fulton, both of whom are in port. Besides the officers and officials there were present many representatives of the Spanish nobility, the leading politicians of Havana and representatives of the local and some of the foreign newspapers. There were also many ladles present. The Captain General was received with the greatest respect when he entered the hall, which was finely decorated. In the center of the hall on a platform was a big presidential table, under a canopy, and tight and left of It were portraits Of the little King of Spain and his mother, the Queen lieg-nt.

Gen Blanco took up a position behind this table. At his right were the members of the colonial Government and the Secretary General of Cuba. On his left stood Gens. Parrado, pando and Colano. When all the participants In the ceremony were in their places, the Captain General saluted, military fashion, and read his message to Congress.

Blanco's Message. He said in substance: "I take great pleasure In seeing the representatives of this Island united 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 reforms 'n Cuba, and was approaching a reconciliation and the ending of the war. But the United States, though speaking of peace and autonomy, tried to prevent us from v. i thorn aliout.

"On the petition of his holiness the Pope and the Kuropean Powers, hostilities were suspended in order to treat for peace, when.

When he had finished reading his message Captain General Blanco shouted "Vive Kspana!" which cheer was responded to with considerable enthuBl-iism. The Captain General then declared the Cuban Congress oen and the oath to the Deputies. He asked all of them if they swore to always defend Spain, and was answered with a spontaneous "yes." About 2:30 p.

m. a third salute of fifteen guns from the fortress announced the departure of the Captain General from the hall, while a fourth salute of fifteen guns announced his return to the palace. At the palace the Captain General, from a balcony, witnessed a march past of the troops. The Captain General was cheered all the way to and from the hall of Congress, and from the balconies ladies threw flowers upon the procession and liberated doves as a sign of rejoicing. The members of the Cuban Crfftgress, previous to the formal opening of that body, held a meeting for the purpose of organization.

The ptobability, however. Is that Gen.

Wheeler and Gen. Fltzhugh Lee will receive commands in the section of the country from which they come. Gen. Wheeler has not yet determined whether he will resign his seat as a Representative In Congress from the State of Alabama. This will depend upon the duratlem of the war.

MUSTERING THEM IN. McKee Still In Command In Indiana, But May Lose Out. Indianapolis. May 5. Speciil.

The mustering of the National Guard Into the regular servioe was begun today under the direction of Lieut. W. T. May. and the muster will be completed by Friday night.

Private ti-legtams received Indicate that after the troops have been mustered in they will sent to Washington. The physical examination made by the surgeons is very-strict, especially in regard to chest measurement and expansion. An order was received at the mustering headquarters this morning reducing the minimum limit of weight from 1JS to 111 pounds. This change helped a private through the examination. About fifty men out of the number examined up to 6 o'clock to-night were rejected.

The men are compelled to stand around stripped while being examined, and the cold and rainy weather makes this quite a hardship. Thus far no commissioned ollicers have been rejected. Gen. McKee Is still In command of the guard, although the troops are rapidly being tranbformed United States volunteers. Some Indignation was aroused last night through a private telegram to an orticer to the efTect that Col.

Lawton, who was confirmed by the Senate Wednesday to le Brigadier General, was to be assigned to the command of the Indiana treops. It is probable that McKee has "lost out," and the Governor is holding a colonelcy open for him. A handsome flag was presented to the Second regiment to-day by the Daughters of the Revolution. John L. Griffiths, a prominent Indianapolis lawyer, made the presentation speech.

LEITER ABLE TO STOP IT. Chicago, May 5. Wheat has taken another sensational leap. May reaching 11.50 a bushel on the Hoard of Trade to-day, an advance of twenty cents since yesterday. Famine of grain abroad and enormous sales of American wheat to fill the e-mpty granaries of Europe caused the advance here.

Short3-were driven to cover and one small was announced. A sensational advance at Liverpool, equalling seven cents a bushel, started the jump. The reason for the Liverpool advance was, ed" course, the continental competition for the wheat cargoes arriving off the coast in the United Kingdom and the greater avidity of French and Antwerp importers to secure them. The grain duties havin? now leen abolished in France, Italy ar.d Spain, leaves those countries to dispute with the United Kingdom for possession of the wheat as it arrives off the coast on the other side. The conflrmallon of extreme scarcity abnmd.

se clearly given by the removal of the duties. Justified apparently to the full the conviction with which Leiter started In last July to t.uy wheat. The continental nations by throwing off lm-Iort duties seemingly admit that their own stocks have been practically ex- hausted. Active competition at Liverpool has caused a rapid advance there for the past week, but the full force of the famine was not felt in this market until today. At the present time the July option Is the active speculative month and the bears have sold freely, expecting to fill their contracts out of the new crop.

But the May option appears to be con-, trolled entirely by Joseph Leiter, who. If to-day's market can be taken as an indication, holds the few who are still short to him In a "death grip." The market opened at an advance of lc for July and 6c for May. As usual, the pit traders sold and July wheat started at sold up to U.OOi and. dropped back to May, which began at $1.37, reacted to J1.31. Letter's brokers bought July on the decline and after accumulating a couple of million bushels withdrew.

Toward 12 o'clock bull news began to take eftect. Closing cables showed advances of "V-jd at London. 5d at Liverpool, 4c at Antwerp and 6c at Paris. Then Leiter capped the climax by announcing, the sale of 2.OcO.0oo bushels No. 2 red to a French syndicate at $1.47 a bushel, in addition Leiter sold TiO.OuO bushels In odd lots.

This remarkable transaction set the pit wild. May wheat, which hadT reified to the opening price, jumped to" $1.50, with two and three cents between sales. At $1.50 Leiter brokers stopped the advance by selling a few small lots, but the market closed strong at the top figure. July was handicapped by free liquidation for a time. From around it gradually worked up, gathering strength slowly, but finally touching $1.01.

Then it dropped back to $1. Ten minutes before the close It started again and rose rapidly to $1.02. slid off in two minutes to $1.01 '-i and up again to $1.02. where a tremendous amount was for sale; but it broke its bonds and ruse to II. '-o1.

slumped again to $1.02 and closed at bid. a net gain of 3cl M'CULLOCH NOTIFIZD. Said To Be An Available Candidate For the Republican Nomination. Former City Tax Receiver H. II.
