TIle war ANA Business.


The business situation created
by the war is briefly and accu-
rately this:
If we open the minis. coin gold
and silver and issue treasury notes
up to $780, 100000 in additional
circulation, business will rally.
If we have bond sale of $780,
100000, business will stagnate
from the Alleghenies to San
Francisco.
If we have a two hundred mil
lion bond sale, business will
almost certainly collapse.
Within less than two months
nfter the completion of three
hundred million dollar bond sale,
and the withdrawal of that amount
of money from ordinary business,
the worst panic of our history
would almost certainly follow.
Tax incomes and avoid bonds.

war News.

The war news of yesterday and
to-day is most exciting, and every
body is ready and eager to grasp
at any sort of rumor and spread it.
The official and semi-ofhcial re-
ports from Manila, in the Philip
pines and other points, is most
favorable to to our arms.
Dewey's Asiatic squadron met
on Sunday morning the Spanish
fleet off Manila, and in two hours
engagement utterly annihilated it.
What our navy did not destroy,
blow up and sink, the Spanish
crews did.
Later news from there says
Commodore Dewey has occupied
Manila, and that he was reinforced
by an army of 10000 insurgents,
and that the insurgents are recog-
nized as the true government OF
the Philippines.
The next move will be on
Havana. when it too will fall into
our hands. as will also Porto Rico

HoMLong win be Last?

The war is week old. Some
people thought it would be over in
that time. They expected to see
an invasion of Cuba one day, the
capitulation of Havana the next,
and sudden booming of the guns
all along the line. Instead of that
we are just assembling an army.
Those who were impatient for the
war to begin are equally impatient
now to see it prosecuted in a hur-
ry, and there will soon be howl
from certain quarters if something
startling is not supplied.

Madrid, May 2.-The publication of

moved the last hope of the Spaniards,
and it is now admitted on all sides that
the Spanish fleet has been completely
destroyed, and that it is probably only
a question of hours as to when the
Americans will occupy Manila. The
fact that the Liberal. which is Premier

defeat of the Spaniards. gives addi-
tional significance to the frank an

DEWEY, THE HERO OF MANILA.
sfvely that Manila has not yet been
taken by the American forces, and that
the cable lines are still under the con-
troll of Spain.
From the fact that even the advices
received from Madrid show that Amer
lean warships Jared the best, there is
hardly any doubt that when complete
details are obtainable it will be learned
that it was crushing defeat for Spain.
Reports of the battle thus far are com
ing in peacemeal.
During the two engagements that
took place, Commodore Montojo, com
handing the Spanish hee., lost three of
his largest ships His flagship. the
steel cruiser Reina Cristina. and the
armored cruiser Castillo were burned,
and the cruiser Don Juan de Austria
was blown up. Several other Spanish
vessels were badly damaged. One re-
port adds that several other Spanish
ships were sunk by their commanders
to prevent their falling into the hands
of the Americans.
Heavy Spanish Losses.
There was heavy loss of life among
the Spanish. Captain Cabarso. com
handing the Reina Cristina, was kill
ed. Commodore Montjo, commanding
the fleet, shifted his flag from the
Reina Cristina to the Isla de Cuba, a
much smaller steel protected cruiser,
just before the Cristina sank. The
blowing up of the Don Juan de Austria
was attended by a great loss Of life
among the crew, her commander being
also killed.
Commodore Dewey's squadron, leav-
ing subig bay, few miles from Man
la, about p. M, proceeded toward
Manila Under the cover of darkness
he entered the harbor of Manila, the
batteries located there announcing his
arrival.
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 fire on the American feet.
For several hours after the harbor
