 Tt is officially declared that four arr mored cruisers, with colliers, torpedo boats and transports, carrying ten thous- and troops have left Spain for eastern wa ters. The Spaniards are utterly unim- pressed by the naval defeat here They explain that their squadron was vastly out classed and are confident of victory on shore. They are determined to fight to the end as the ships did. Evidently they will never learn common sense until Manila Is annihilated by street and house lighting in the outer city and by a bombardment of the walled citadel.
 Raided Railroad
 The insurgents raided railroad station ten miles north of Manila and killed three priests and an officer. There has also been pitched battle at Spanish post south of Manila near Cayite, the result being that the insurgents retired. The Spanish casual ties were 150

Meanwhile the insurgents are steadily ad- vancng along the coast supported by the United States gunboat Petrel and driving the Spaniards into Manila. They have caps tured five important positions nine miles from the city and over 400 Spaniards havc been killed. Four thousand Spanish rein forcements have been sent, but it is as- serted that Aguinaldo will enter the city by June 13. A bombardment will be avoid- ed if possible.

MONITOR MONTEREY READY TO SAIL

Washington, June 6-After a lot of con. fiicting rumors of naval engagements. the landing of troops and such matters at the naval department there came at the close of the day one important bit of news em- bodied in report from Admiral b wey of important successes achieved by the in- surgents at Manila.
 The admiral reports that the insurgents have been actively engaged within the province of Cavite during the past week. They have won several victories taken prisoners about 1,S00 men, and fifty office rs of the Spanish troops. not natives. The arsenal of Cavite has been prepared fer occupation for the United States troops up- on their arrival on transports
 The officials have been more anxious than they cared to betray as to Admiral Dewey's condition. They were not serious ly apprehensive of his danger to the fleet but an impression was gaining ground that the admiral had not maintained the same measures of success in his operations in Manila bay that he first accomplished Now the report received goes to show that his plans are working out admirably, that he has succeeded in placing upon the in- surgents the burden of conducting mi itary operations against the Spaniards, while he himself is lying in enforced idleness await ing the arrival of troops and that he has succeeded in preventing the corruption of the insurgent leaders by the Spaniards, which appeared at one time to be threa en- ing.
 Treatment of Prisoners
 There is some speculation here by ar xi- ous minds as to how the Insurgents will treat the prisoners they have taken who are more numerous, 1t Is said, than all the captures made by the Cuban insu -nts since their war begun. It was reported by cable soon after he had secured the co- operation of the insurgent chief, Aguinaldo, that Admiral Dewey would see to 1t that the insurgents observed the rules of civll- ized warfare. This caution was made necessary by the terrible tales that had

rs IN THE END9

In this enlightened age when
wars mean money, it is not proba-
BILE that a war will continue long
after it is definitely known what
the result will be. 1t is case of
play at chess. When one party
sees that a checkmate is inevitable
in the next few moves he signifies
his assent that the game is lost /.
1t is useless to go through the
force and lose the time of playing
it out. Such is the case with
Spain. She must see that her
cause is utterly hopeless and she
must ultimately submit to all the
demands of the United States.
The battle of the Manila settles
this matter. 1t is as decisive as
was the battle of Nayarino Bay, or
of Trafalgar. 1t settles all the
matters in dispute just as surely
as did the battle of Actium when
Antony and Cleopatra fled from
the Roman Republic to commit
suicide upon the Nile. Commo-
dore Dewey's victory is as decis-
i've as was the destruction OF the
Spanish Aamadain in the British
Channel in the days of good
Queen Bess. Spain would be
foolish to prolong the struggle.
The general opinion among promi-
ncnt members of the administra-
ton is that the naval victory at
Minila is not only highly impor-
tant of itself but that it will have
a decided influence among the
nations Of Europe, which may ilti-
mately result in their united action
in forcing Spain to an early relin-
quishment of the impossible task
of compelling the United States
to change its course with respect
to Cuba. The Attorney General,
when questioned said that In his
judgment the Manila victory was
the beginning of the end. This
appears to be the opinion of the
European press. We hope that
now that the honor of the Span
lard has been satisfied by seeing
his fleet repose on the bottom Of
Bay that he will conclude to with
draw from Cuba and let the
Western Hemisphere attend to
its own business. Should he do
so many lives and much treasure
will be saved on both side

MISSISSIPPI VOLUNTEERS.
GALLANT SOLDIER BOYS WHO
WILL REPRESENT THE STATE.
They Deserve Cheers and PIaudits,
and jackson Should See That
They Get Them.

Within the,next few davs TWEEN
tv two hundred young Mississip-
plans will leave their homes in
various parts of the state and
come to Jackson, where they will
go into camp to learn soldiery,
while standing ready to make any
call that the country may make
upon them. In the old capital
city they will await their call to
duty, no matter what duty may
be, or where its scene may be,
located. Stranger things have
happened than the transfer Of
these young men to the Philippi-
nes or the Canaries or to any one
of a half dozen other widely sep
arated points of this outstretcbed
war. In time of fconflict anything
is possible.
When the companies commence
to leave their homes the scene
will be one of an essentially heroic
nature. 1t will not be apt ID oc-
cur again in the present war and
the history of the country shows
that few of the spectators to the
scenes about to occur in our Sun
ny Southland will live to see
another like it. When two regi-
ments of the valiant youth of the
state spring to arms to battle for
the starry flag that covers and
protects seventy five millions Of
of people, the occasion may well
be considered memorable and
heroic. Children OF, tender years
who witness it will tell it to their
children. 1t is an event that will
be cherished and often retold.
War is serious matter. 1t may
be that many young men who bid
fare we'll to their families during
the next week will bid final
farewell. They go not only to
encounter the bullets of the
Spanish, but the silent and dead
ly germs of disease which may
carry them off more speedily than
a uniformed foe.
Tears will be shed in old Mis-
sissippi this week. The leaving
day when the mixed guards and
raw recruits are bundled aboard
the trains for Jackson will be q
sad one in many homes. But
every mother who kisses her low
ing son goodbye and every brave
son who goes forth to fight for hit
country's honor should and will
be stout of heart and look for
ward to the joyful day when it viii
be over and the family reunited
Then the mother will be prout
of her son who has fought glo
lriously for Christian cause.

The table was supplied with
plenty of everything good to eat,

full justice. After supper dane

The ECHO for Job Work
A Mississippi Editors Misfortune.

just as we we're getting ready
to enlist in the Cuban war, one of
the scews in our fghting-machine
became loosened by constant
usage and the head of it came
violently in contact with the driv-
ing wheel breaking the screw
smooth off and causing the pick
a-da-diddle to drop down on the
hoodle-da-do. This SET the DASH
board to going with lightning ra-
pidity, and before we could slip
the coupling-pin in the place that
holds together the boom-ta-ra and
the calendar clock there was a
whirr, whiz and bang, and the
coffer-dam came off. So great is
the damage aud so intricate the
machinery that it will take us at
least three years to get the parts
back together. In the meantime,
we have directed our war CORES
