May 7. Notwithstanding the fact that everybody, for several days past, has been momentarily in expectation of cable advices from Dewey, the town was thrown into the wildest excitement this morning by the issue of an extra newspaper announcing the arrival of the McCulloch at Hong Kong with dispatches for the government from Dewey. The publication of the newspaer dispatches telling of the terrible mortality among the Spanish and the escape of the American men and ships from serious injury, added to the excitement and to the intense satisfaction with which the long expected news was received. There was an instant rush of newspaper men to the Navy Department to secure further information from official sources, and, perhaps dismayed by the number and impetuosity of the newspaper contingent, the officials of the navigation bureau closed and locked the doors against the invasion. One of the officers of the bureau has been on duty every moment of every 24 hours for several weeks past, waiting to receive a cablegram of Importance.

The State Department had the honor of receiving the first news. It came in the shape of a cablegram of three words from Cnsul Wildiam at Hong Kong: Kong, McCulloch That is the usual form which naval movements are reported by cable. This dispatch was received this morning. Naval officiate were promptly notified and awaited with intense interest the dispatch which was expected to surely follow from Dewey. OFFICIAL NEWS.

At half past nine. Manager Marean, of the Western Union, arirved at the Department bringing with him a sheet comprising four lines of the mysterious jargon which makes up the naval cipher. He handed this directly to Sec retary Long, who gazed at it for a moment and turned it over to Lieutenant Whittlesay, one of the cipher experts of the navigation bureau, for translation. The Secretary made a pretense of sitting down at the desk to transact other business, but it was plainly to be seen that, in spirit, he Joined the anx ious throng of newspaper men and offi cials who thronged the reception room and the corridors waiting for the news. Meanwhile Alger, hearing of the re ceipt of the news, came over from the War Department to see his colleague, but was also obliged to wait.

Hoar joined Long and waited upon the cable experts. About 10 o'clock Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, gave out a short ab stract. Half an hour Jater Long appeared with a copy of the translated cipher in hand. There was a great rush towards him, but the Secretary goodnaturedly made allowance for the excitement of the crowd, and smilingly read the following: MANILA, May 1. The squadron arrived a Manila at daybreak this morning.

We immediately engaged the enemy and destroyed the following Spanish vessels: Reina Christina, Castilla, Don Antonio de Ulloa, Isla de Luzon, Isla de Cuba, General Lezo, Marques de Duero, Correo, Velasco, Isla de Mindanao, a transport and water battery at Cavite. Our squadron is uninjured, and only a few men were wounded, and those slightly. The only means of telegraphing is through the American consul at Hong Kong. I shall communicate with him. "(Signed( DEWEY." A QUICK RUN.

It was noticed that the dispatch bore date May 1. The McCulloch could not have occupied more than six days in making the short run across to Hong Kong. Therefore it was immediately assumed that the above dispatch was only the llrst of two more that had been brought over to Hong Kong by the Mc Culloch. In other words, Dewey had written Sunday night, but instead oi sending it immediately by the McCul loch to Hong Kong, he delayed that ves sel for two or three days at least, probably to use her in the subsequent bombardment of the towns and forts. The events of those last few days, without doubt, were made the subject of one or more official dispatches which are to follow the original message.

As soon as another dispatch was deciphered It was given out. It reads: "CAVITE. May 1. I have taken possession of the naval station at Cavite on the Philippine islands. I have destroyed the fortifications at flYSTERY TO TOU WHY TOUR GROCERY WAS SO MUCH LAST MONTH? WELL, JUST GIVE US A TRIAL THIS MONTH AND SEE IF WE CAN'T REDUCE IT FOR TOU.

By Concerted Effort tho Pooplo of the City Can Secure the Industry, Which Would bo a Notable One.

Public spirited men have an opportunity to do Asheville a good turn that may not repeat itself in a generation. Hans Ree's Sons of New York City, extensive tanners, are looking for a site for a large establishment in the South. Members of the firm have been in Asheville for more than a week, anc are very favorably impressed with- this city as a location for their enterprise, and if Asheville people will do what sound business Judment and up-to-datt enterprise would dictate, this large business can be located here. Should these gentlemen be able to secure the site they desire some 20 acres of land near the passenger depot the will at once begin1 the erection oi meiri plant. The buildings, ail to be undei slate roof, will cover eight acres.

Ir. putting down the plant $38,000 will be expended about $25,000 of which will be for material and labor from Asheville. When it starts, the establishment wih employ from 100 to 125 men, and latei the force will reach 150. Twenty-five per cent, of this labor will be skilled, the remainder will be gotten fron among home laborers as fast as they can be taught. The pay roll inside the tannery will be about $35,000 a year.

In addition to this about $75,000 will be expended annually in the purchase o. tan bark. The tannery will begin by tanning 100 hides a day, which wi il be increased until a capacity of 200 hides a day is reached. In addition to their very large es tablishment in New York. Hans Ree Sons have a tannery in Pennsylvania and also one in Virginia.

Rafael Diez de la Cortina, official representative of Don Carlos in America, has received instructions to join Don Carlos, and will leave for Europe during the coming week. According to Senor Cortina, the official representative, the general ferment in Spain is the beginning of the end of the present dynasty. The emissaries of Don Carlos throughout Spain have reported that an overwhelming majority of the people are ready to flock to his standard the instant it is raised. General Weyler and the army are nly waiting to receive word to declare allegiance to htm; the majority of the naval officers, including all of the IS admirals, are already pledged to him. in reply to a question as to their inten sions, Don Carlos Cortina replied: "We will join our leader at some place on the continent of Europe.

A provisional government will be formed, to go into effect the instant the Queen Regent abdicates or when Don Carlos proclaims himself. There will be no op- position from any other nation. The new government will be formed on much more democratic lines. I speak authoritatively when I say Don Carlos intends to make a radical change in the present system of government.
