fire. Her action was followed by some
Of the larger Spanish warships, and
then the Cavite forts opened up and
the smaller Spanish warships brought
their guns into play.
The American squadron which had
been led into the bay and through the
channel by the flagship Olympia did
not reply to this, although the
shells Of the spaniards
began to strike the water around them,
but moved majestically onward.

Of the Olympia showed that the Span.
iards had exploded mine or torpedo.
This was followed by . second and
similar explosion. They were both ut.
terly unsuccessful
The American feet was then draw.
ing nearer and nearer to the Spaniards,
whose gunnsry was very poor, the
shots from the Oavite battery and
from Spanish ships being equally
badly aimed, either falling short or go
ing wide Of the mark. When the
American feet entered the bay, com.
ing through the southern channel, the
following was their order: The flag
ship Olympia, the Baltimore, the Ra-
leigh, the Concord. the Boston and the
Petrol, the McC Culloch, with two store
ships, the Nanshan and Zafro, bring.
ing up the reax, and in that order they
swept grandly before the 1tty and
faced the enemy in column line.
Though the Spani ards had opened fire
at 5000 yards the
Americans Reserved Their Fire
until within 1000 yards Of the enemy,
when the real battle began.
The Reina Christina, Castillo, Don
Antonio de Ulloa, Isla de Cuba, Isla de
Iuzon and the Mindanano were in line
Of battle, outside Of Cavite at that
time, with four gunboats and the tor
pedo boats inside the harbor.
The American ships then passed
backwards and forwards six times
across in front Of the Spaniards, pour
ing in upon the latter perfect hail Of
shot and she'll Every American shot
seemed to tell while almost every Span
ish shot missed the mark.
After having thus scattered death
and Generalization among the Spanish
feet and in the Spanish batteries the
American feet retired for breakfast
snd incidentally, council Of war was
held on board the Olympia.
By this time the Spanish ships were
m q desperate condition. The flagship
Reina Christina was riddled with shot
and shell, one Of her steam pipes burst
and she was on fire. The Castillo was
also on fire, and they were eventually
Burned to tho Waters Edge.
The Don Antonio de Ulloa made q
most magnificent show Of desperate
bravery. When her commander found
she was so torn by the American
shells that he could not keep her
afloat he nailed her colors to the mast
and she sank with all hands fighting to
the last. Her hull was completely rid
died and her upper deck had been
swept clean BY the awful fire Of the
American guns. but tho Spaniards,
though their vessel was sinking be-
meath them. continued working her
guns on her lower deck until she sank
beneath the waters.

torpedo boat crept along the shore and

Olympia was struck five times about
her upper works, and q whaleboat Of
the Raleigh was smashed. Although
the Krupp guns on the Varlande de
Manila were fred continuously during
the engagement, Commodore Dewey
did not reply to them, and the battery
afterwards hoisted white flag in
token Of surrender.
The terms Of the capitulation were
still unsettled when the cCulloch left
Manila. The forts at the entrance Of
the bay were dismantled on Wednes-
day after they had capitulated.
It is said the American commodore
ordered the cable to be cut because the
Spaniards refused to permit him to use
it pending the complete surrender Of
the city.

POLITICS THE CAUSE.

Clerical Party Believed to Be at the
Bottom Of the Trouble.
RoME,s May 9.-The general situa-
tion here is regarded as being distinct
" grave. It now seems to be clearly
demonstrated that politics are mixed
up in the disturbances which have
occurred in various parts Of the king
dom, owing to the high price OF bread,
and the clerical party is believed to be
fomenting the disorder. A royal de.
cree proclaims martial law throughout
Tuscany, one Of the most fertile and
best cultivated parts Of Italy.
There was renewal of serious riot
ing at Florence, the capital of Tuscany.
and there were further disturbances
at Leghorn, capital Of the province Of
that name, situated on the Mediter.
ranean sea, about 80 miles from Flor
tenoe. At both places number OF
rioters were killed or wounded by the
troops detailed to maintain order.

ment Of troops at Sesyo Fiorintio and
the soldiers fred volley, killing three
Of their assailants and wounding four
others.
There were fresh disorders at Prato,
10 miles northwest Of Florence, during
the day.

MOST WONDERFUL
VICTORY At MANILA ONE OF THE
GREATEST IN NAVAL HISTORY.

epaniards Had Enormous Advantage Yet
Were Wholly Annihilatsd-D Of
ths Battle-Ensny Lost Twelve Hum
dred lGSn In Killed and Wounded.
Il. Amsricans Had Six slightly Wounded
On Board the Baltimore.
HoNa KoNa, May 9.-Among na-
val mon, military men and civilians.
there is only one subject Of discussion,
the brilliant, dashing, annihilating vic.
tory Of the American feet under Com.
modors Dewey over the Spanish feet
commanded BY Admiral Montejo in
Manila bay on Sunday last. :
Commodore Dewey's orders wore to
capture or destroy the Spanish fleet.
and never were instructions executed
In so complete q fashion. At the end
of seven hours there was absolutely
nothing left Of the Spanish feet but q
few relics. The American commander
most skillfully arranged every detail
u Of the action, and even the most insig.
nificant features were carried out with
perfect punctuality and in railroad time
table order.
spaniards lIAd shs Advantage.
The position occupied by the Span.
iards, the support which their ships re.
ceived from the land batteries and the
big guns they had ashore gave them an
enormous advantage. Therefore, when
it is considered that the Spaniards lost
over ! 200 men killed and wounded; that
all their ships, amounting to about IA,
were destroyed, and that their naval
arsenal at Cavite was also destroyed
with it's defenses, it win become ap.
parent that the victory Of the American
commodore is one Of the most complete
and wonderful achievements in the
history Of naval warfare. Not man
on board the American feet was killed;
not ship was damaged to any extent,
and only six men were injured slightly
on board the Baltimore. This grand
achievement is quite as much due to
the generalship Of Commodore Dewey
as to the fact that American gunners,
ships and guns are superior to any.
thing in the same line adoat anywhere.
Credit must also be given to the fullest
extent to the officers under Commodore
Dewey, for to man they seconded
their gallant commander in every way,

him again and again in the fsce with
the stone. While lying in helpless
condition, unable to raise a hand in
selfdefense. it i said, Green concluded
his work with club.
Up to this writing. Green had not
been arrested. owing TO his evasion Of
