blessed are they which hunger and
thirst after righteousness; for they
shall be fllled.-Matt. vi. 6.
The souls true hunger and thirst can
only be satisfied with that which aows
out Of the deepest fountains of ever
lasting love. But this Is mighty
river, out of which the hearts OF be-
levers have drank since the beginning
Of the world. The longing look after
Jesus contains the glimmertng of faith.
It may be mingled with much weak
ness, and the signing of the soul may
be, Lord, help US, we perish" but lot
us cherish this feeling, so that out Of
it may grow power which wind and
sea will not be able to extipguish. A
great stream is composed OF little
drops, and strong faith grows out Of
secret longings and desires after Christ.
A magnet can move a piece OF iron as
easily as a small needle; both hang
upon 1t, for the power does not come
from the greatness or the smallness
of the iron, but from the stone. Thus.
the weakest faith is fruit of the Holy
Spirit, as well as the strongest, for II
does not depend on our strength or on
our weakness. but on Christ.-Chrls-

Kentuckians themselves rallied to the

London, May S.-The following de-
tails of the engagement off Manila
have been received through Spanish
sources:
Both fleets lined up for battle about
daybreak. The guns of the American
warships began firing on the fortress
of Cavite and the arsenal of Manila.
Under the protection Of the guns of
these Notifications the Spanish war
ships opened up on the American feet.
For several hours the harbor re-
sounded with the roar of guns, the
crashing of steel and timbers, the
shrieks and groans of the wounded.
Clouds of smoke at times almost OBJ
scured the opposing fleets from each
other.
A well directed shot reached the
iron Cruiser Don Juan de Austria. A
ship was blown up. All the time dur
ing the engagement TIE American
ships were under way, their maneu-
vering being intended to render the
fire from the forts less effective.
The American squadron drew off at
o'clock and took refuge behind some
merchant ships to repair some dam
ages They returned about IL. Dur
ing this engagement the guns of Cav
lite main tanned steadier fire to which
the ships replied with telling effect. =.
AS the smoke lifted it was seen the
flagship Reina Christina was on fire.
The vessel was completely burned. In
the interval between the two engage
ments, Commodore Montijo moved his
flag from the Reina Christina to the
smaller cruiser Isle de Cuba. To the
fact that he made this change he doubt.
less owes his life.
The cruiser Castillo, next to the flag.
ship the largest and most powerful OF
the Spanish squadron, was also burned.
The cruiser Don Antonio de Ulloa and
the Mindana were also badly damaged
In this encounter. One report says that
several of the Spanish crafts were sunk
by their commanders to prevent theii
falling into the hands of the Ameri
| cans.
That the American squadron received
severe damage in the engagement car
not be doubted. Early reports had il
| that five of Commodore Dewey's ships
had been sunk. Later advices from
Madrid put the number at two.

REJOICING AT WASHINGTON.
News Joyfaiiy Received and the Streets
Filled With Cheersng People.


Filled With Cheersng People.
Washington, May Washington is
rejoiced tonight. Not since the dark
days of the great.civil conflict of third
of century ago have the people been so
profoundly moved by war news as
they were this evening The first bat
tie Of the Hispanc American war has
been fought, and victory lies with Adj
miral Deweys squadron under the
stars and stripes.
The first news of the battle received
came in brief cablegram from Mad
rid to the Associated Press about s
o'clock AS the night wore on the ca
BILE continued to sing the news of vic
tory for the squadron of Admiral
Dewey, and the interest grew into
tremendous excitement.
The absence Of any statement Of spe-
cifc injury to the American vessels in
the Madrid advices was construed as
convincing indication that they had not
suffered appreeiable injury, and this
was especially pleasing.
| Not only was the preservation of the
| American ships and men considered
in itself happy outcome, but was
commented upon as indicating clearly
that Admiral Dewey and his associate
officers and men under their command
had discharged splendidly their several
duties in directing and executing the
| fight. In this connection, it was point
ed out as little less than marvellous
that the American squadron escaped
without severe injury, because, not
withstanding the disparity in the ma
val forces, the Spanish fleet, assisted
by the shore batteries, should have
been able to infiict severe damage to
its foe before itself being destroyed.
Its failure to do so was applicable only
upon the hypothesis of perfect and
swift work by the American squadron.
An opinion freely expressed by ma.
val officers is that the very decisive
victory of Admiral Dewey's fleet will
mean probably an early end to the
war, without further naval battles OF
Importance. The American fleet is
now supreme in the waters of SPANS
Pacific possessions, and indications
were strongly toward the slipping of
the Philippines from her control.

AWAITING DEwEY's REPORT.
Government Anxious to Ascertain Loss of
Life.

Washington, May Am official re-
port of the naval engagement at Manila
is anxiously awaited, not alone to
learn how the ships Jared. but to as
certain the loss of life which, in some
quarters, il is feared is quite heavy.
All of the ships engaged were vul-
nerable in one respect, namely in their
lack of protection to life. There was
not an armored ship in Commodore
Dewey's feet, the nearest approach be-
ing the flagship Olympia.
She had some coal protection around
the sides and an arched steel deck
calculated to protect the vitals of the
ship. The other vessels of the feet,
save those recently added to the navy,
like the McCulloch, have lighter steel
decks of this character, but in all
cases, with the exception of some
slight protection in the ahape of gun
shields, the personnel of the ship was
exposed to e fire of the enemy,

HAS MANILA SURRENDERED
Unsuthent'c ated Report That Such is the
Case.

Case.
Chicago, May "A special dispatch
to the News from Washington says;
1t is reported that Manila has sur
rendered to Commodore Dewey, but
this cannot be con hrmed.
The government has no direct news.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
bassador, furnished the news of the
fall of Manila, he having succeeded in
getting into communication with the
British authorities at Hong Kong.
President Mckinley cordially thanked
him for the glad tidings.
If Commodore Dewey has lost a con-
siderable portion of his men, it is feared
he will be much embarrassed in the
work of maintaining possession of Ma
nilla for lack of sufficient force.
United States naval vessels are al
ways undermined, according to the
European standard, and it will not be
possible, having regard to the safety of
the ships, to spare any considerable
number of men to keep the city, espec-
tally if the engagement has disabled
many of them There was some talk
in the afternoon of sending out troops
from San Francisco to aid in the work,
but this has not yet taken shape, so far
as can be learned, and it is likely that
the department will wait to hear from
Commodore Dewey himself before TAX
ing any action. 1t may be, and in fact
it is expected, that by combination with
the insurg ents he will succeed in having
his men relieved of the task of garris-
oning Manila.

No Petroleum Bombs.

Washington, May. 3.-Naval officers
discredit the statement from Madrid
that Commodore Dewey employed pc
troleum bombs in the report of the de-
struction of Manila. No definite in
struction could be obtained that the
American squadron was supplied with
such instruments of destruction. II is
regarded as quite likely that, in the
event of the bombardment of the city,
the bursting of shells would start seri-
GUS fires, and perhaps result in con-
fiagration; but that Admir-; Dewey
used bombs with the express idea of
firing the city is believed utterly i'm
probable, unless he was pressed to ex-
tremes, which is not thought likely.
The belief is prevalent in official circles
that If a fire occurred, the Spanish,
themselves applied the torch, thereby
carrying into effect the threat which
they have made concerning both Ma
Mia and Havana, that the cities should
never fall into the hands of the Amer
leans except as heaps of smouldering
ruins
