May End the War.

An opinion freely expressed TONIGHT
by naval officers is that the verv de.
clslve victory of Admiral Dewey's fleet
VIII mean probably an early end of the
war without further naval battles of
Importance. The American fleet. II is
suggested, is now supreme in the waters
OF SPANS Pacific possession, and indi.
cations point strongly toward the wrest-
ing of the Philippines from their con.
mol. 1t is said that only bv acceding
to our demands in Cuba could this loss
possibly be averted. Spain. it is
argued, is confronted with a situation
which promises naught save disaster in
case he elects to force more fighting.
The superiority of the American fleet
mas been demonstrated in the Pacific.
and the same it is contended would be
inevitable in the Atlantic in case the
clash comes.
From whatever point of view IL ;s
considered, the policy of more fighting
on the part of Spain promises nothing
but more Spanish misfortune. NAVY
officers think this view must prevail
with the Spanish government, and be.
lleve an end of the war, on the basis
OF Cuban independence, is to follow
soon, and that, too, without further
notable opportunity for the American
navy to prove its power and distin-
guish itself.
II Is regarded by some as likely that
the decisive victory gained by Admiral
Dewey's squadron may open the eyes
OF Spain to the seriousness of the con-
dict upon which she has entered.
In official circles it is regarded as al.
most certain that results of a most
serious nature will confront the sapasta
CABINET within spain's own borders,
IT is said that the Spanish people have
been led to believe that their navy was
lnvincible, and the bitter disappoint-
ment over the first engagement of the
war is likely to precipitate internal dis.
i%ension, if not revolution.

The following is the text of the off
cial dispatch from the governor-general
of the Philippines to the minister of
war, General Correa, as to the engage
ment off Manila:
Last night, the batteries at the en-
trance to the forts announced the arrival
of the enemy, forcing a passage under
the o%bscurity of the night. At day.
break the enemy took up positions,
opening with a strong fire against Fort
Cavite and Tardenal. Our fleet en-
gagged the enemy in a brilliant combat,
protected by the Cavite and Manila
forts. They obliged the enemy, with
heavy loss, to repeatedly.
AT 8 O'Clock the Americans took
refuge behind the foreign merchant
shipping on the east side of the bay.
Our fleet, considering the enemv's
superiority, naturally suffered rT;.evere
loss. The Reina Cristina is on fire, and
another ship, believed to he the Don
Juan de Austria, was blown up. There
was considerable loss of life. Captain
Cadareze, commanding the Reina Girls.
tina, is among the killed. l cannot
now give further details. The spirit of
the army, navy and volunteers is ex.
cellent."
When the United States feet arrived
at Subic, at 4 O'Clock yesterday after
noon, Commodore Dewey sent scouting
vessels to examine thtre waters for the
enemy, and Immediately sailed in the
direction of Manila.
Notwithstanding the severe damage
the Spanish ships suffered. naval Off
GERS here consider that the future oper.
ations by the American squadron will
he conducted under great difficulty.
owing to their having no base where
they could repair or coal, or obtain
iiesh supplies of ammunition.

and Ulloa were severely damaged in

Mutterings in Madrid.

The town is greatly excited by the
serious news from the Philippines, and
there is an immense crowd gathering
In the Sale de Savilla. The civil
guards on horseback were called ont 70

been taken. There is much mutterino
nut up to the present, nothing more
serious has occurred.
Late official kilograms saw Admiral
MonteJo has transferred his fiay to the
cruiser Isle of Cuba, from the cruiser
Reina Cristina. which is completeIv
burned. According to official tele.
grams, the Spanish cruiser Castillo
was also burned.
The other ships retired from the com.
oat, some being sunk to avoid thai-
falling into the enemy's hands.
The second engagement was ,rn,r.

Spanish Are Defeated
at Manila.
AMERICAN LOSS WAS LIGHT
Three Spanish Cruisers Destroyed-Only
News Comes Through Madrid and Is
COlored-American Ships Succeeded
in Landing Their Wounded.

Madrid, May B. Advices from
Manila say that the American SQUAD
ron, under Commodore Dewey, APP
peared off the bay of Manila at 5
O'Clock this morning and opened a
strong cannonade against the Spanish
squadron and forts protecting the har.
Dor. The Spanish second class cruiser
Don Juan de Austria, was severely
damaged and her commander was
killed. Another Spanish vessel was
burned. The American squadron re-
tired, having also sustained severe
damage.
A second naval engagement followed,
in which the American squadron again
suffered considerable loss and the
Spanish warships Mindonao and Ulloa
were slightly damaged. During this
engagement the Cavite forts maintained
a steadier and stronger fire upon the
American squadron than in the first
engagement.
Admiral Bermejo, the minister of
marine, has expressed himself as highly
pleased with the heroism of the Spanish
marines, and has telegraphel congratu-
lations to Admiral Montejo and the
valorous crews OF the Spanish squadron
under fire of superior warships.

MAY END THE A
Fhe Probable Effect of Dewey's Victory
at Manila.

Washington, May 3.-Washington is
rejoicing tonight. Not since the darl
days of a third of a century ago have
the people of this city been so pro.
fOundly moved by war news as they
were this evening.
The first battle of the Hispano.
American war has been fought and VIC
tory lies with Admiral Deweey's squad
ron under the Stars and Stripes. That
was enough to set the people of Wash
ington almost in a frenzy of enthu-
:iastic rejoicing.
For days, they, in common with the
people throughout the country, have
been waiting news from the Philip
pines, as everything pointed to a battle
at Manila that might be a decisive con
dict of the war. When the news came,
indicating a great victory for the
American squadron, the enthusiasm Of
the people was let loose, and the
streets OF the city have rung with
cneers throughout the night.
h first news OF the battle received
in Washington came in a brief cable
gram to the press from Madrid about 8
o'clock this evening. As the night
wore on, the cable continued to sing
the news of victory tor the squadron of
Admiral Dewey, and the interest grew
into tremendous excitement.
AS bulletin after bulletin was posted
in front of the newspaper offices, each
successive n conveying information
more gratifying than it's predecessors,
the crowds in the streets became up-
roarious. Good, as well as bad news,
spread rapidly, and by 10 O'Clock, the
streets were crowded with people, all
discussing the one exciting topic of the
hour. Hundreds gathered in front of
the bulletin boards, and evry scintilla
Of newsstand it was all glorious-was
received with enthusiastic cheers.
While victory had been expected,
the news OF it, coming, as it did m
from Spanish sources, gave a vent to
the patriotism of the people, which
has been pent up for days. 1t was a
spontaneous outburst of patriotic feel
ing that scarcely knew no bounds. Ad-
miral Dewey's name was on every lin.
and his praises were sung in the re-
joicings of the people.
The absence of any statement of spe-
cito injury to the American vessels in
the Madrid advices was construed as
convincing indication that they had
not suffered appreciate injury and
this was especially pleasing to the
students of the news
Not only was the preservation of the
American ships and men considered in
itself a happy outcome, but was com.
mented upon as indicating clearly that
Admiral Dewey and his associate Off
GERS and the men under their command
had discharged spendidly their several
duties in directing and executing the
fight.
In this connection it was pointed out
as little less than marvellous that the
squadron escaped without
severe injury, because, Notwithstanding
the disparity in the naval forces, the
Spanish fleet, assisted by the shore
batteries, should have been able tc
effect severe damage before it was de-.
stroyed. Its failure to do so was ex.
piicaole only upon the hypothesis OF
perfect and swift work by the American
squadron.

Probable Result of tn. y,c,orn

another result OF Admiral Dewev,s
victory, it is thought, may be action on
the part OF the powers of Europe to in.
duce Spain to abandon what is regard.

ITALY'S CURSE.
Once Every Two Hours the StiIetto

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
Throughout the kingdom of Italy an
Italian kills an Italian every two hours

ing spirit of the association which. under
the presidency of Queen Marguerite and
the patronage Of King Humbert, has been
formed to put down homicide by depriv-
ing 1t of its ali too convenient and all too
universal weapon, the accursed knife
During the 365 days of the wear 1897
there were placed on record $3.50 homi-
cides by means of the knife, a total be-

in fact engaged in a personal war with
herself. which costs her on an average
5000 lives annually.
The league, or association, which has
just been formed under these royal aus
pices has very rightly and cleyerly
placed itself in communication with the
various labor unions and trade associa-
tions and among the first of the labor
associations TO take up the matter with
enthusiasm and with vigor has been the
Union of Associated Printers. which in
cludes some OF tne most public-spirited
and energetic of the workingmen of
Rome.
The league, likewise, has secured a
promise from the premier, Gen. Pelloux,
to submit to the legislature when ii meets
again a law rendering it q penal offense
for anyone to carry one of those knives
with which in nearly every case murder
is done in this country
In order to realize how utterly made
quate the tribunals have shown them
selves until now to put a stop to crime
by means of the knife, IL may be men
TONED that the annual average of homi-
cides in Italy alone surpasses that of all
the remainder of Europe put together.
