EYE WITNESS or THE FIGHT.
Story of a Correspondent on Board the
Olympia.

tFrom the New York Herald.)
Manila, Philippine Islands, on board
the flagship Olympia, May 1, via Hong
Kong, Saturday.-Not one Spanish flag
flies in Manila bay to-day. Not one
Spanish war ship floats except as our
prize
More than two hundred Spanish dead
and five hundred to seven hundred
wounded attest to the accuracy of the
American fire.
Commodore Dewey attacked the
Spanish position at Cavite this morn
ing. He swept five times along the
line and scored one of the most brill
liant successes in modern warfare.
That our loss is trifling adds to the
pleasure of victory with out detract-
ing from its value. The number of hits
our vessels received proved how brave
and stubborn was the defence made by
the Spanish forces.
Not an American EiIled.
Miraculous as 1t may appear, none
of our men was killed. and only eight
I were wounded. Those who were wound
ed suffered only slight injuries.
Commodore Dewey arrived off Manila
bay last night and decided to enter the
bay at once.
With all it's lights out the squadron
steamed into Bocagrande, with crews at
the guns. This was the order of the
squadron, which was kept during the
whole time of the first battle:
The flagship Olympia.
The Baltimore.
The Raleigh.
The Petrol.
The Concord.
The Boston.
1t was just eight o'clock, bright
moonlight night, but the flagship
passed Corregidor Island without a
sign being given that the Spaniards
were aware of its approach.
The First Spanish Shot Fired.
Not until the flagship was mile be-
yond Corregidor was a gun fired Their
one heavy shot went screaming ove1
the Raleigh and the Olympia, followed
by a second, which fell further astern
The Raleigh, the Concord and the
Boston replied, the Concord's shells
exploding apparently exactly inside the
shore battery, which fired no more.
Our squadron slowed down to barely
steerage way and the men were allow
ed to sleep alongside their guns.
Commodore Dewey had timed ouI
arrival so that we were within five
miles of the city of Manila at day
break.
We then sighted the Spanish squad.

WEALTH IN NINE DEBRIS.

How an Old Prospector Made a For
tune Out of the "Tailings'' of an
Abandoned Mine.
There are some men in this world
who have to toll for a mere apology of
a living-and then there are others.
One of these latter is Mr.. Luce, Of Car
go Muchancho. Luces experience reads
like romance. For twenty years he
had knocked about the coast, on the
and mining, and had finally, by hard
work and the closest economy, man
aged to scrape together a few hundred
dollars.
One day on the shores of the Color
ado, some twenty miles north of Yuma,
he met an old Mexican, who told him
of deserted mine some ten miles back
from the river and seven miles north
of Hedges. Luces interest was arous-
ed, and he visited that mine, to find
there an abandoned twenty stamp mill
which had pounded away for many
years and finally shut down. He then
learned the story. The mill was on
leased ground. The lessee had mined
the property on shares and had done
fairly WELL although the ore was not
entirely free milling. One day the vein
"pinched out" The mining man was
sure he had simply lost the lead and
that it was there all right, but the
owners refused to put up cent to help
him find it again, and, tired of living
f1,o 1,o I, 1,A xxy1,N No
business and left.
Luce examined the property and dis
covered that there was a small noun
tain of tailings, the accumulation of
years, piled up behind the mill. He
tested these tailings with cyanide. Then
he measured the pile roughly and esti-
mated there was over 100000 tons of
| the stuff there. That night he wrote
| to the president of the company in New
York city, offering them 10 cents per
| ton for the tailings on a basis of 100,-
| 900 TONS The president read the let
| ter, looked surprised, and called the
| directors together They read the let
| ter, looked wise. tapped their foreheads
significantly, and laughed to each
| other.
This poor fellow Luce should be
| goose staid one
Deserts proved too much for him
probably gone daft, " said another.
| Not one of them thought those tail
| ings We're worth anything, and they
| had almost entirely forgotten that old
mine out on the Colorado desert But
| they answered the letter, telling Luce
| to go ahead.
This was in April of last year. On
receipt of the letter Luce Immediately
directed a cyanide plant, costing him
about $100 of his own and his friends
money. Then he hired fifteen Next
cans and Indians and began work or
| those tailings. The other day some
representatives of the mine company
were returning from San Francisco
and, passing through the desert, they
thought they would visit the mine.
"How are your" said Luce. "Glad tc
see you. BY the way, we might as vel
| fix up our little accounts now as at any
| time,'' and so saying he threw the as
| tonished Gothamites a check for $10,.

months he had been running the cy-
anide plant he had cleaned up $45 900
and that there was plenty of tailings ir
sight to net him 100000 within three
| years,-The San Diego Sun,

killed and about sixty wounded on
board the Castillo Indeed some esti-
mates place the number of Spanish
wounded during the engagement at
over 1000 men. The olympia was struck
five times about her upper works and
a whaleboat of the Raleigh was smash
ed.
Although the Krupp guns on the Es-
planade of Manila were fired continu-
ously during the engagement, Acting
Rear Admiral Dewey did not reply to
them and the battery afterwards hoist
ed white flag in token of surrender.
The terms of the capitulation were still
unsettled when the McCulloch left
Manila, and it was said Acting Rear
Admiral Dewey feared rioting upon the
part of the insurgents if he attempted
a bombardment of the remaining forth
fications of Manila. The forts at the
entrance of the bay were dismantled
on Wednesday, after they had capitu-
lated. 1t is said the American acting
rear admiral ordered the cable to be
cut because the Spanish refused to per-
nit him pending the completet surren-
der of the city.
1t is said that the Spanish ships did
not get under steam until after the
alarm was given. 1t is said also that
| the Spanish commander informed the
governor general that it was advisable
| to surrender in the interests of hui
| mainly as it was impossible to resist
successfully, but that he and his men
were willing enough to fight and die.
Even when the Spanish flagship was
| half shot away, her commander
| though wounded, refused to leave the
| bridge until the ship was burning and
sing, her stern shattered by a cannon
shell and her steam pipe burst.
| AS yet there are no further details OF
| the fighting. After it was over Acting
Rear Admiral Dewey sent an ultima
tum to the city battery, ordering it to
| cease firing or he would lombard.
The Petrol was sent UP the river and
| the Spanish captain came in a boat to
| negotiate conditions Of surrender. The
| American captain replied: "Uncondi-
| tional surrender or fight" To this the
| Spaniard answered: 1--WE are willing
| to fight. Please allow us to send fol-
ammunition, because our store Is ex-
| hausted."
On a proposal to the existing author
tiles to continue temporarily under the
| American flag, pending termination OF
the war, the Spaniards delayed theil
decision and kept wiring to Madrid
The Americans requested the privilege
| of using the wire and when this was
refused they cut the cable.
The Esneralda from Hong Kong ar
rived here right in the middle Of the
battle During the adjournment fol
breakfast an American cruiser was
detached to meet her, as it was believed
she might be a Spaniard. When 1T was
