SPAIN MUST
 NOW GIVE UP
 TIE FIGHT

WASHINGTON, May l. Washington is rejoiced tonight. Not since the dark days of the great civil conflict have the people of this city been so profoundly moved by war news as they were this evening.
 The first battle of the Spanish Amer ican war has been fought and the vic- tory lies with Admiral Dewey's squad ron under the stars and stripes.
 That was enough to set the people of Washington almost in a frenzy of en- thusiastic rejoicing. For days they, El common with the people throughout the country, have been waiting news from the Philippines, as everything pointed to a battle at Manila that might be a decisive conflict 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 have rung with cheers throughout the night.
 The first news of the battle received in Washington came in a brief cable gram to the Associated Press from Ma drid about o'clock this evening As the night wore on, the cable continued to sing the news of victory for the squadron of Admiral Dewey, and the interest grew into tremendous excite ment.
 Ordinarily Washington is the quietest of cities on Sunday, but as bulletin af- ter bulletin was posted in front of the newspaper offices, each successive one conveying information more gratifyire; than it's predecessors, the crowds in the streets became uproarious. Good, as we'll as bad news, spreads rapidly, and by 10 o'clock the streets were crowded with people, all discussing the one ex- citing topic of the hour. Hundreds gathered in front of the bulletin boards end every scintilla of news-and 1t was all rlorfous-was received with enthu- siastic cheers. While victory had been expected, the news of it--coming, as 1t did, from Spanish sources-gave vent to the patriotism of the people, which has

age and make them anxious to dupli- cate Commodore Dewey's achieve ments."
 The absence of any specific mention of supposed casualties on the American ships in the censored reports from Spain indicate that the damage to the Ameri- can ships could not have been very great That was the impression of all the gentlemen who were with the Pres ident tonight.
 Attorney General Griggs said he was very much gratihed with the report, even if it does come from Spanish sources, and he expressed the hope that 1t would be even more gratifying when we received the American version of the battle.
 He said it would probably take two or three days to get the official reports from Commodore Dewey, as he will be obliged to send his report by way of the nearest friendly port.
 Secretary Alger said that the Spanish reports indicate decided victory for the American feet. and the news will cause great rejoicing throughout the land.

of other probable engagements, but also to carry out what was known to be Ad- miral Dewey's purpose to effect junc- tion with the insurgents as soon as pos sible. The insurgent forces practically surround Manila on both sides Of the city and with the intention of securing control of Manila as soon as possible Admiral Dewey was to obtain foot ing on the island at the earliest practi- cable moment. AS soon as the junction of the American and insurgent forces the one on the sea and the other on the land-is effected a demand is likely to be made for the surrender of the city, and in the event of refusal, a com bined attack would be made on 1t. The result of such attack, in the absence or a Spanish fleet and effective shore bat teries, seems foregone conclusion.
 No news of a definite character Is given concerning the loss sustained by Admiral Dewey's squadron, and it Is scarcely likely in the opinion Of ex- perts of the navy, that authentic infor- mation will be received until Admiral Dewey has an opportunity to communl- cate officially with the department. It is regarded as probable that immedf- ately after the engagements of to-day Admiral Dewey sent the revenue cutter McCulloch back to Hongkong with dis patches and that the first information from him will come from that point The distance from Manila is a trifie over 600 miles and it will take the Me- Culloch about two days to- make the frin

| by naval officers Is that the very de- | cisive victory of Admiral Dewey's fleet will mean probably an early end to the
 war without further naval battles of importance. The American fleet, it is suggested, is now supreme in the wa
 ters of Spain's Pacific possession and indications were strongly toward the slipping of the Philippines from her control.
 It was said that only by quickly yielding to our demands, in Cuba, could
 this loss possibly be averted. Spain, it was argued, was confronted with a situation which promised naught save disaster in case she elected to force more fighting. The superiority of our fleet had been demonstrated in the Pacific, and the same, it is con- tended, would be inevitable in the At lantic in case the clash comes. From whatever point of view considered the policy of more fighting on the part of Spain promises nothing but more Span ish misfortune. Navy officers think this view must prevail with the Spanish Government and believes an end of the war on the basis of Cuban independ- ence is to follow soon, and that, too, without further notable opportunity for the American navy to prove its power and distinguish itself.
 It is to be not unlikely that the rep resentations will indicate that, since Spains honor has been satisfied by a conflict, Spain can now yield to the in- evitable and accept the good offices of the powers to bring about an adjust ment. In the dispatches from Madrid the statement was made that Admiral Dewey effected a landing on the west side of Manila Bay for the men of his fleet who were wounded in the engage mentS.
 It was suggested in official circles that this landing had a two-fold pur pose. It was not only that the wounded might have the better care than they could receive on ship board. in the face

Several instances have occurred in the vicinity of Washington where sus- pected spies have been arrested. Dur Ing the past week two Spaniards were known to be attempting to gain infor- nation concerning mines in the Poto- mac. The authorities were soon aware of their intentions, and before they could get any information the neces- sary steps were taken to get them out of the country. The greatest precau- tfon is being observed in guarding pub- lie buildings. At all hours the en- frances are closely watched and no one is permitted to go in a building unless known. Secret service men are con- stantly upon watch on the exterior of buildings, in order to be sure that no one approaches with any high explo- sives
 The President, while taking his dasty walk, is always followed at a safe dis tance by guard of one man. This is contrary to his wishes, an only out of regard for Mrs. McKinley's wishes.
 Not only are separate precautions taken to guard against the spies of Spain, but the Postoffice Department is also being extremely careful in regard to all mail addressed to Spaniards in this country. The department has been able to locate nearly all Spanish resi- dents still in the United States, and is Keeping the closest watch upon their movements. In this way all communi- cation between spies has cen stopped, and the department has been able to locate many Spa liards attempting to gain information.
 order TaoaufIU iccued in the War Department prohibiting clerks from giving information to representatives of the press was principally due to a fear that Spain had hirelings who claimed to he newspaper men.
 Owing to these precautions, and many others which Chief Wilkie has taken, it is now practically impossible for Spain to gain information concerning the defenses of the United States.

1 been pent up for days. It was a spon- taneous outburst of patriotic feeling that scarcely know bounds. Ad- miral Dewey's name was on every lip and his praises were sung in the re- 1 joicings of the people.
 Thus far no official advices have been received by the Governmer- but the press dispatches were transmitted to the President and officials of the Ad- ministration as rapidly as they were received.
 Army and navy circles, after mani festing throughout the day the great est eagerness for news from the Philip pines, received with great satisfaction the news of the victory. Their satis faction at the defeat of the Spanish has been strengthened by the news coming from Madrid and they were unreServed in expressing their qualification upon the signal triumph of the American forces.
 At the Army and Navy Club, large company was gathered and read and commented u, on the story of the en- agreements, as it was presented in the bulletins of the press. At the club, down town, at their rooms, and wher- ever seen, the officers were freely giv- ing vent to the pleasure they felt at the news and declaring the confidence which they had entertained throughout that the American ships, their officers and men would demonstrate their su- periority over the Spanish fleet in the Philippine waters.
 The absence of any statement of specific injury to the American vessels in the Madrid advices was construed as convincing indication that they had not suffered appreciable injury, and this was especially pleasing to the naval 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 of ficers and men under their command had discharged splendidly their several duties in directing and executing the fight.
 In this connection it was pointed out as little less than marvellous that the American squadron escaped without severe injury, because, notwithstanding the disparity in the naval forces, the Spanish fleet. assisted by the shore bat teries. should have been able to infiict severe damage. It's failure to do so was accountable only upon the hypothesis of perfect and swift work by the Amer lean squadron.

the American fleet. MT. Depew de. clared that the news, although from Spanish sources, is glorious and will send thrill of joy to every American heart.
 In the absence of any official infor- nation on the subject the President re- trained from making public any state ment tonight, but he undoubtedly joined in the spirit of rejoicing which prevailed among the guests. The con ference at the White House terminated about half-past 10 o'clock, and 1t was understood that no additional light could be thrown upon the subject until an account of the conflict IS received. It is understood that Dr. Depew IS here to urge the President to appoint Gen eral Fitzgerald brigadier general of volunteers. During his visit to the White House tonight he took occasion to discuss the matter with the President and Secretary Alger.
 Great excitement prevails among na- val officers. All consider that deci- sive victory has been won by the Amer ican fleet. Assistant Secretary Roose- welt, when shown copy ot the dispatch from Madrid, was much excited. He said: "This dispatch shows nothing but a complete and glorious victory for the American fleet The Spaniards have surely been wiped out. This, he said. ois the best news have heard for a long time. as 1t means great victory for American seamen, and will go down to history as such.
 Captain Crowninshield. chief of the Bureau of Navigation, also has express ed himself as greatly satisfied with the Madrid dispatch and agreed in every particular with Mr. Roosevelt in think ing that the engagement was complete victory for the United States fleet. He informed me that such word from Madrid could mean nothing but vic tory for Commodore Dewey
 Commander F. w. Dickens, assistant chief of the Bureau of Navigation, was greatly pleased when showed him a CODY of the Madrid dispatch, and he said that every word shows that the United States vessels had covered them selves with glory. When l called on Captain Dickens he was entertaining a large company of army and navy friends, who all joined in praise for the

Runaway Accident.

r. P. Hunter was painfully injured
last night by a runaway accident, he
being thrown from his buggy and
pretty badly shaken up. Mr.. Hunter
was driving in the vicinity of West
Weber when he met a gentleman with
a disabled bicycle. He took the BIZ
cyclist and the wheel aboard, the
stranger hanging his wheel over the
dashboard, which frightened the horses
and away they went. After they had
gone some distance the wheelman
threw the wheel out of the buggy and
got out himself over the back end gate.
Mr.. Hunter was unable to control the
team. which ran over three miles,
crossed the bridge to the stockyards,
where the buggy tipped over and the
horses went on north. Mr. Hunter
managed to reach the Union depot,
from where he was sent home. DR..

bones are broken, although he sustain

A Pilgrimage to Concord.

Mrs. Maynard spoke last night in the
Congregational church for the benefit
of the public library. The subject was
"A Pilgrimage to Concord" and her
talk was almost too informal to be
called a lecture, but was thoroughly
enjoyed nevertheless. The speaker told
of visit to modern Concord, and gave
apt descriptions of the interesting
places in and about the historic village,
together with instructive observations
and timely comments on the lives and
works of the men and women who made
the place famous. Emerson, Tnoreau,
Margaret Fuller, Hawthorne and the
Alcotts were among those celebrities
whom the speaker described and as
ISOLATED with Concord. and whose lives,
she said, had been influenced by the
beauties of their surroundings. In
closing Mrs. Maynard paid a tribute

valleys have artistic beauties, surpass-
ing even historic New England, in as
