Washington, May 34.—Tlie news event of the day nt tie i r y depart­ ment was the order t - c o • Monterey to proceed to Manilla to reinforce Ad­ miral Dewey’8 squadron. Tlie Mon­ terey is a tower of strengtli in herself, and her addition to Admiral Dewey’s torce, together witli tlie dispntoh of thousands ol troops to Manila, ¡sample evidence that the nduiinistiation has assumed no half-hearted attitude to­ ward tlie Philippine question, and is determined to take no chance of dispos­ session until such time as tlie United States itself lias arranged for tlio dispo­ sition of tlie islands. The Monterey is probably tlie most formidable monitor in tlio w oild, yet she combines with the enormous offen­ sive and defensive qualities of a moni­ tor a seaworthiness tiiat is almost phe­ nomenal. Tlio Monterey is described techinioally as a barbette turret, low- freeboard monitor of 4,000 tons' dis­ placement. She is 256 feet long bjr 59 feet beam, and 14 feet 0 inches deep. She carries in two turrets, surrounded by barbettes, two 12-inch and two 10- inch guns, while in her superstruotsre between tlio turrets are mounted six 6- pounders. fout 1-pounders and two gat- lings. The tuirets are 7)^ and 8 inches thick, and tlio suriounding bar- bettes are 14 inches and 11,4 lnohol thick, and against tlio armor all the batteries in Munilu might thunder away without effecting an entrunce. The Monterey's personnel is 19 officers ami 172 men, and once she is in tlie entrance of Manila harbor, noth­ ing in the shape of a navy would be likely to budge her from lier position. Her dispatch may have an Important bearing upon tlie intention of tlie Span­ ish government, so openly published, of sending reinforcements to Manila. Tiio only doubt as to the feasibility of sending tlie Monterey is her small coal capacity. She has bunker room for only 200 tons of cDai, and, though more might bo stored on her docks, it is doubtful whether she could, nt tlie most, carry moro than enough coal to take her to Honolulu, one-third of the way to tlie Pliilippinies. It is prob­ able tiiat tlie Monterey will go In con­ voy, ami, after exhausting the coal tiiat she will take on in Honolulu, she must cither lie towed about 2,000 miles of hei trip, or perform the difficult opera­ tion of coaling at sea.

Owing to tlie diplomatic fiction tiiat such questions are not dealt witli by tlio Canadian cabinet, it was possible for our secretary of state to say that tlie government did not interfere. Tlie ac­ tion was taken by tlie governor-general, w ho is tlie queen’ s direct representative here, and who as such is supposed to, but never does, act without the sana­ tion of tlie cabinet. Captain Gnrranza, who left the city immediately after Downing’ s arrest, is, according to statements of some mem­ bers of Senor Polo’s staff, to be sent to the Philippines with a relief expedi­ tion.

Tim Spaniards say tlio troops destroyed these two tow „s before leaving tlmin, bat this is not believed.

There are thousands of men from cigar, tobacco and other factories out of work, and the authorities are employing ■ s many as possible on tlie fortifica­ tions. The number of men idle causes anxiety. Up to tlie present they have been provided with total in one way or another, mainly by their former em­ ployer! being compelled to contribute to their maintenance, but tlm time must come when these men will feel the pangs of hunger, and then riots is sure to follow.
