Dewey Completely Victorious With But

London, May 2.-Copyrighted by
the Associated Press.-The colonial
Office has furnished the Associated
Press the substance of its cablegrams
in regard to the battle of Minila from
the British consul there. The Ameri-
can fleet entered the Manila harbor at
daybreak yesterday. The fort opened
fire. and the Americans moved from
their position opposite the city to
near Cavite engaging in a fierce
fight against both the Spanish
fleet and the forts. The engagement
lasted two hours. resulting in the an
initiation of the Spanish fleet. The
Americans withdrew to Center Road
stead for the purpose of cOaling. One
American vessel, name not mentioned,
is reported disabled. Dewey, through
the British consul. demanded the sur
render of all torpedo boats and guns
of Manila or he would lombard the
city. After the governor general con-
ferred with the British consul and the
cable agent, he refused to surrender.
The fact that this is the only informa-
tion received, it is supposed the Span
iards cut the cable.

Trade Conditions.

Az ia usual at this season OF the
year. there was a great decline In
business immediately after Christ-
mas, and the business done by, our
merchants during the past week will
not come up to the average Of the
past two months. From January
to April is always the dullest season
with our business men, but with
sufficient snow for sleighing there is
q prospect that the business Of the
next three months will fully average
that OF. former years. The mild
weather has been q serious draw
back 80 far this season to the wood
business, and lack of snow has
made 1t impossible to do any thing in

great to haul them on wheels.

now more wheat In the hands OF the
farmers than ever before known at
this season Of the year. The market
ing Of a large quantity Of wheat now
on hand will be q great benefit to
