height Of buildings to 100 feet The

upon all contractors to secure licenses.

Denver. May S.-A special from New
York TO the Republican says:
A cable 10 the Herald from on board
the flagship Olympia. Manila. Philip
pine islands, May /, via Hong Kong,
May Z:
Not one Spanish flag flies In Maniln
bay to-day. Not one Spanish warship
tioats except as our prize. More than
300 Spanish dead and 500 to 700
wounded attest to the accuracy Of the
American fire.
Commodore Dewey attacked the
Spanish position at Cayite this morn
ing. He swept five times along the
line and scored one of the most bril-
liant successes In modern warfare.
That our loss Is trifiing adds to the
pleasure of the victory without de,ract-
ing from Its value. The number Of hits
our vessels received prove how brave
and stubborn was the defense made by
the Spanish forces.
Miraculous as 1t may appear. none
OF our men were killed, and only eight
We're wounded. Those who We're
wounded suffered only slight injuries.
Commodore Dewey arrived OF Ma
Mia Bay last night and decided to en-
ter the bay at once.
With all Its lights out the squadron
steamed into Boca Grande with crews
mt the guns. This was the order OF
the squadron which was kept during
the whole time of the first battle: The
flagship Olympia. the Baltimore, the
Raleigh, the Petrol, the Concord, the
Boston. 1
1t was jus; s o'clock. n bright. moon
light night. But the flagship passed
Corrcgidor island without sign be-
ing given that the Spaniards were
aware of It's approach.
Not until the fingshIp was mile be-
yond Corregidor was n gun fired. Then
one heavy shot went screaming over
the Raleigh and the Olympia, followed
by n second, which fell farther astern
The Raleigh, the Concord and the
Boston replied. the Concord's shells
exploding apparently exnctly inside the
shore battery. which fired no more
our squadron slowed down to barely
steernge away and the men were al.
lowed to sleep alongside their gums.
Commodore Dewey had timed our ar.
rival 90 that we were within f1ve miles
OF the city Of Manila at daybreak. We
then sighted the Spanish squadron
