journ. The work of the Convention
has been sore disappointment. The
criticisms of the State press have been
many and severe. In the face of all
criticisms the Convention remains in
session, celebrating, trading votes
aud creating an organic law that no
delegate can go to his home and de-
fend. The State ring and the city
bosses have controlled the Conven-
ton in the interest of the ring and
bossism. Fortunately for the politi-
clans, the Constitution that they are
making will aot be submitted to the
people. They can with impunity
say, "the people be damned" because
the people will have no voice in ad.
opting or rejecting their work.

The Battle Of Manila Bay,

Following is a summary of the
battle of Manila Bay:
Dewey passed the batteries at the
entrance of the bay Saturday night.
The battle began Sunday morning
and was hot and furious for two and
half houra The Spaniartls had II
ships and Eve land batteries against
six American war ships. All the ships
of the Spanish squadron were sank,
burned or captured, and the shore
batteries silenced, captured and de-
stroyed.
The losses of the Spaniards include
10 warships, several torpedo boats,
two transports, navy yard and nine
batteries.
Including the losses ashore, about
1900 Spaniards were killed or wound
ed.
The estimated value of the Spanish
property destroyed or captured is
t6, 600, 600.
On the American side the total loss
is eight men wounded and $4,000
damage to the ships.
At 12:45 p. M, the Spaniards sur
rendered. Admiral Montejo fed to
Manila and most of the survivors fed
with him.
All the American damage was prac
tically on the cruiser Baltimore.
The Concord opened the fight on
the American side, which was the
first shot fred against Spain in the
Pacific.
The flagship Olympia was hit by 10
shells, none of which did any damage.
Monday, May 2, Dewey took pos.
session of the navy yard; blew up six
batteries at the entrance of the bay;
established blockade of Manila and
drove the Spanish forces out of Cavite.
Dewey can take Manila at any time,
but does not care to lombard it and
destroy the property Of noncombat-
ants.
