MANILA BATTLE DESCRIBED
HOW GALLANT DEWEY AND HIS
BOYS SLAUGHTERED DONS
IN A NAVAL BATTLE UNEQUALED
Message Ia Sent to Madrid In which the
spanish Governor General OF Philip
pines Admits Heavy Loss.

The New York Journals cable from
Hong Knog says: Commodore Dew
ey's victory is the most remarkable
achievement in naval warfare. The
American fleet destroyed the defenses
at Manila and all the shore batteries
there and at Cavite were silenced.
The American flag floats over Manila.
No Americans were killed and only
six were injured slightly. The Span
ish loss is 800 killed and 400 wounded.
Details OF tho Battle.
Saturday night the American ships
crept inside the bay without being
seen until the McCulloch's funnel
emitted spark. Then few shots
were exchanged with Coregidor island,
but the feet never stopped or slowed
down opposite the city until dawn,
when the fight began.
The order OF battle assumed by the
Spanish fleet at the beginning Of the
engagement was with all the small
craft inside Cavite harbor, which il
protected by stone and timber break
waters, and the larger ships vancouver
ing off Cavite and Manila.
The American battle line was led by
the flagship Olympia and the cruiser
Raleigh. The Boston, Baltimore, Con
cord and Petrol and the revenue cutter
McCulloch followed. The American
feet, in easy speed, approached thu
Spanish ships, which were drawn on
in two lines, tho Reina Maria Chris
tina, the flagship, in the center.
After the dawn broke and the posi-
tion of the American squadron wa
discovered, the Spanish feet immedi
ately opened fire, supported by tn
Cavite forts. The Spaniards fred TIL
first shot. The challenge was givel
by the Reina Maria Christina. tn
Olympia replied and at once the cntir
American fleet was in action.
The Spanish flagship soon caugh
fire, and Montejo transferred the flaI
to the Isle de Cuba. The cruiser Cas-
tilla also burst in flames.
Besides engaging the ships, Dewe.
directed hot fire against the batter
les. This surprised Montejo, VIII
thought himself secure under the gum
OF Manila and Cavite.
Montejo's ships caught fire one ate
another and either sank or were rul
ashore.
Dewey continued fighting until tn,
eleventh Spanish vessel was destroyed
by which time the shore batteries wer
also reduced.

A FRENCH SHIP CAPTURED.
CAUGHT WHILE TRYING TO RUN
THE BLOCKADE.
QUICK ORDERS GIVEN FOR RELEASE.
Capture Was Made Through n Mistake
and Washington Authorities Acted
Promptly In the Matter.

A French line steamer, the Lafayette
was captured by the gunboat Annapo-
lis Thursday night, carried into port
at Key West Friday morning and re-
leased Friday afternoon by orders
direct from Washington.
The Lafayette is not only O mail
carrier, but an auxiliary war vessel,
and for short time it was thought
the seizure might lead to trouble with
the French government. The boat.
after being informed by American
warships that she could not pass the
line, attempted TO make her way
through, and one of the prettiest and
most exciting races yet seen in south
ern waters followed.
Immediately after the captive had
reached Key West full report was
transmitted to Washington, and late
in the afternoon Commodore Watson
received orders from Washington to
instantly release the steamer and to
send her to Havana under escort.
The capture turns out to have been
an unfortunate incident, resulting
from mistakes, but no protest has
been made by the representatives Of
the French government in the United
States.
1t appears that before the Lafayette
sailed for Havana the French legation
at Washington was instructed to COM
municate with the state department
This was done, and permission was
| granted to the steamer to enter and
discharge her passengers and cargo,
with the understanding that she would
take on nothing there. Instructions
for the fulfllment Of this agreement
were sent from Washington to Admiral
SIMPSONS squadron, and it was only
learned after the capture was made
that they were never delivered.
United States Commissioner Otto,
United States District Attorney Strip
ling and q number of other federal
officials went out to the Lafayette, ex-
amined her papers, and cabled the
state department for instructions.
These came without delay in the form
of an order to Commodore Watson.
The Lafayette belongs to the Cen
eral Trans Atlantic Company's line,
and is a vessel of 1894 tons gross
register, bound from Corunna, Spain,
on April 23d, for Havana. She had on
board a large number Of passengers
and heavy cargo, thought possibly
to contain contraband Of war.
The Lafayette, which halls from st.
Nazaire, France, is fine vessel of the
old type. She is over 344 feet long,
has "A feet beam and is % feet deep.
She was built in 1864 at Greenock OF
iron. Her capture was effected short
~ before shutdown Thursday night.
The Lafayette was heading for Ha-
vana, and was boarded by an officer OF
the Annapolis and warned not to en-
ter the port. She afterwards made an
attempt to do so and was captured af.
ter an exciting chase. The Whining
ton, Newport and Morrill, took part in
the capture of the Frenchman.
After an examination Of the Lafay-
cites papers had been made, a prize
crew from the Annapolis was placed
on board and she was sent to Key
West, escorted by the Wilmington.

MATANZAs AGAIN BOMBARDED.
FortiHcations Leveied By Two Of Our

FortiHeations Leveied By Two Of Our
Smallest Boats.
A Key West dispatch rays that Ma
tanzas was again bombarded Friday
and Saturday afternoon. The work
was done this time by two boats and
among the smallest in the navy the
torpedo boat Dupont and the auxiliary
cruiser Hornet, OF the mosquito fleet.
Three block houses were destroyed
and il is almost certain that number
OF Spanish soliers were killed.
The bombardment was brought on
by the temerity Of the Matanzas Span
iards, who apparently were not con-
tent with the fearful execution wrought
some days ago by our greater ships.

ANARCHY
IN SPAIN.
Rioting in Many
Provinces.
/ CAU|NFT CU|S|S IMMINENT
A CABINET CRISIS imminent
Internal Troubles May Result
in Fastening q Termination
or the War-Queen May
Resign Regency.

Advices of Wednesday from Madrid
stated that the outbreaks in the pro.
vinces were assuming alarming pro-
portions. This is especially the case
in the province Of Gijon, on the Bay
OF Biscay, where the troops were com.
PEELED to fire on the rioters Gin self
Defense" The artillery at Gijon was
ordered out.
At Talavera de la Reyna, one OF the
Jesuit religious houses was burned to
the ground and the province Of Oviedo
was proclaimed in state Of siege.
The government was made aware
that it could not rely upon the army.
It is an open secret that society
had been formed within its ranks to
put an end to the humiliations Spain
has suffered at the hands OF her in
competent ministers.
The idea of the resignation OF the
regency by Queen Maria Christina is
being seriously considered by the
members Of tho imperial family OF
Austria, with view Of averting anti
dynastic movement and saving the
throne. An exchange Of ideas on
the subject is going on between the
queen regent and her Austrian family,
but its most influential members are
decidedly opposed to it.
The future government OF the coun-
try is beginning to be discussed as IL
the figures Of the queen regent and
King Alfonso had already disappeared
from the stage of Spanish politics.
General Weyler is dubbed "the
Spanish Boulanger," and in some
quarters military dictatorship in his
hands is regarded as probable.
The continental press notices the
broadening political ambition of the
United States, coupled with the in
creasing friendship between Great
Britain and the United States, with i'll
concealed aversion. Intervention ru-
mors are again in the air, but il is abb
solutely certain that Spain has taken
no steps in this direction, nor is she
likely to do so until she has suffered a
reverse on the Atlantic.
II is believed that there have been
some exchanges OF views between the
powers on the subject of the Philip
pines as to which all kinds Of specula-
tions are afloat. None Of the powers
like the idea of the United States be.
coming near neighbor Of Japan and
the fear Of further American victories
is likely to give cohesion which the
powers hitherto have been sadly lack.
ing.
Want the War Terminated.
There is a growing impression in
official quarters that the queen regent
and the Spanish government favor
some arrangement that will lead to the
early termination of the war. II IL
believed that Austria is anxious to in
tervene while Germany has specia
reasons to desire some arrangement,
which will not compromise the future
Of the Philippines.

The big auxiliary cruiser st. Paul,
with Captain Sigsbee on the bridge,
left Cramps shipyard early Thursday
morning and steamed down the Della

The passage of the st. Paul down
the river was the signal for q great
outburst OF enthusiastic patriotism, and
the reception that the new cruiser and
Captain Sigsbee received was truly
magnificent one.
As to the st. Paul's destination moth.
ing was given out but it is believed
that she Is to do scout duty along the

enlisted some days ago as an oiler, and
almost from the time OF his enlistment

Trouble of a most serious nature is

British consul (Ramon) was attacked
in the consulate by mob, whereupon
he fred upon the crowd, killed Span
lard and was imprisoned. The English
government was Immediately notified.
The news created tremendous sensa-
ton, and serious outcome is expect
ed. The British consul at Santiago de
Cuba has been in charge Of American
interests, and the attack by the Span
iards is the result OF the consul's
strong American sympsthies.

In the American Natural Gas District,


Passing through gas belt one will see
near the roadside, in farm lot, q mud
despatched, weather beaten derrick, with
the apparently riokety accompaniment of
crude appliances made familiar years ago
in the oil regions-a small reversing en-
CINE, a rusty locomotive boiler, usually
without stack and leaking at every seam !;
the ponderous wooden walking beam slow
ly ossillating night and day, stopping only
to give place to the use of the bull wheel
when the drill is raised and the sand pump
is lowered or newly dressed bit is put in
service. Crude as the rig and all its de-
tails may seem at first glance, every part is
soon seen to have its use, and the journey
of the bit from the surface to the unknown
and perhaps barren depths is always aO-
companied by interesting and ever varying
developments AT night the measured beat
and clatter of the rig in the dim light Of a
few pickering torches Of gas, piped from
some neighboring well; the trembling der
rick, its lofty top lost in the darkness; the
driller carefully manipulating the temper
screw after each stroke, controlling the biz
at the end of rope perhaps half mile be-
low the surface, all form a weird sight.
Accidents are frequent, and the slightest
carelessness may result in dropping the
tools, the recovery of which requires pa
thence and often great ingenuity. Hosea
