Although the Krupp guns on the
Esplanade OF Manila were fired COntin-

1t Is said that the Spanish ships did not

was given. It Is said also that the Span
ish commander informed the Governor
General that II is advisable to surrender
In the interests OF humanity, as lt was
impossible to resist successfully, but that
he and his men are willing enough to
fight and die. Even when the Spanish

AS yet there are no further details OF

became worse and worse until they were
eventually burned to the waters edge
The Don Antonio UllOa made most des-
perate show Of bravery. She sank with
her colOrs nailed to the deck and with

The battle, which was started at about
$3.50 a. M, and adjourned at $3.50 q. m,
was resumed about noon, when COmmo-
dore Dewey started In to put the finish
ing touches on his glorious work There
was not much fight left in the Spanlards
by that time, and at p. m. the Petrol

teTies into silence, leaving them heaps
of ruins and floating the white flag.
The Spanish gunboats were then scut-
tied, the arsenal was on fire and the ex-
plOsion of Spanish magazine caused
further mortality among the defenders Of
Spain on shore.
On the water the burning, sunken or
disabled Spanish vessels could be seen,
while only the cruiser Baltimore had

shot which struck her exploded some

slightly injured half dozen OF the crew.
Several shots passed dangerously close
to Commodore Dewey, but little or no
damage was done on board the flagship.
On the other hand, about 15O men are
said to have been killed on board the
Spanish ship which was totally de-
strOyed. Admiral MOnteio, the Spanish
commander, transferred his flag to the
Isla de Cuba when his ship caught fire,
but the latter was also destroyed in due

Detailed Report of the Greatest Naval
Victory In the History of
This Country.
DEWEY's VICTORY cOrlPLETE.

Hong Kong, May S.-(AssOciated Press
dispatch. )-Among naval men, military
men and civilians, Europeans and ma
lives here to-day there is only one sub
ieCt Of discussion, the brilliant, dashing,
annihllating victory of the American
feet under Commodore Dewey over the
Spanish fleet commanded by Admiral
Montejo in Manila bay on Sunday last.
Owing to the TACT that the cable between
this port and the Philippine islands was
not in working order, having been cut,
it is said some distance from the capital
of the islands, there has been delay in
obtaining a detailed report Of the battle
and facts in the case were only available
when the United States gunbOat Hugh
McCullOch arrived here yesterday.
Commodore Dewey's orders were to
capture or destroy the Spanish feet, and
never were instructions executed in so
complete fashion. At the end of seven
hours there was absolutely nothing left
of the Spanish fleet but few relics.
The American commander had most
skillfully arranged every detail OF the
action and even the apparently most in
significant features were carried out with
perfect punctuality and in railroad time
table order.
At the end OF the action, Commodore
Dewey anchored his feet in the bay be-
fore Manila and sent message to Gov
ernor General Augusti announcing the
Inauguration of the blockade, and adding
that if shot was fired against his ships
he would destroy every battery about
Manila.
The position occupied by the Span
iards, the support which their ships re-
celVed 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 600 men in killed and wounded
that all their ships, about fourteen, were
destroyed and that their naval fort at
Cavite was also destroyed with it's de-
fences, it will become apparent 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 Amer
ican feet was killed, not ship was dam
aged to any extent and only six men
were injured.
This grand achievement is quite as
much due to the generalship Of Commo-
dore Dewey as to the fact that American
gunners, ships and guns are superior to
anything in the same line aflOat any
where. Great credit must also be given
to the fullest extent to the officers under
Commodore Dewey; for to a man, they
seconded their gallant commander in
every way possible and thus helped him
win the laurels which are Justly his.
When the squadron left here 1t touched
first at a point in the Philippines near
BOlinao, as Commodore Dewey wished
the insurgents agents to disembark
there to ascertain the strength and dis
position of the insurgent forces, arrange
to prevent needless blOodshed and inform
the insurgents Of his intention to change
the government Of the Philippine islands,
the commodore strongly objecting to CIV

The temperature during the week

latter part Of the week by good to copious

steady cloudy weather. 1t is probable
that very few localities received less than

charges iterated against him he gives the
reasons for his resignation as follows:
1T is not on account OF newspaper at

OF our first year, but for the following
reasons. viz:
First: The law is a farce and cannot
be carried out with satisfaction to the
people nor the inspector.
Second: Unless an inspector is con-

him free passes he cannot perform the
