At Norfolk last weekthe trustees of
the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary decided that they would
not reopen the Whitsitt matter, that
there had been no material change in

Wilmington last year and they would
stand by conclusion arrived at then.

With the United States flag flying
at all their mastheads our ships
moved to the attack in line ahead
with speed of eight knots, fret pass
ing in front of Manila, where the ac-
ton was begun by three batteries,
mounting guns powerful enough to
send shell over us at q distance of
five miles. -.-. . +--ze..r--..-..-..
The Concord's guns doomed out q
reply to these batteries with two shots
No more were fired because Commo-
dore Dewey could not engage with
these batteries without sending death
and destruction into the crowded city.
AS we neared Cavite two very pow
erful submarine mines were exploded
ahead of flagship. This was six min
utes past s o'clock.
The Spaniards evidently had mis-
judged our position. Immense vol
,umes of water were thrown high in
the air by these destroyers, but no
harm was done to our ships.
Commodore Dewey had fought
with FarrRgut at New Orleans and
Mobile Bay, where he had his first ex-
perience with torpedoes. Not know
ing how many more mines there
might be ahead he still kept on with
out faltering.
No other mines exploded, however,
aud 1t lie believed the Spaniards had
only these two in place.
Only a few minutes later the shore
battery at Cavite Point sent over the
flagship shot that nearly hit the bat
terry in Manila, but soon the guns got
q better range, and the shells began
to strike near US or burst close aboard
from both the batteries and the Span
ish vessels. }r rn
The heat was intense. Men stripped
of all clothing except their trousers.
As the Olympia drew near all was
silent on board as If the ship had beeu
empty, except for the whir of blowers
and the throb of the engines.

From the boatswain's mate, at the

cry:

We take the following report of the
great naval battle fought on Sunday,
May l, in Manila harbor from Sum
days Enquirer:
On board the Flagship Olympia,
with the Asiatic Squadron, off Ma
nilla, Philippine Islands, May l (via
Hongkong May 7.)--Not one Spanish
flag flies in Manila Bay to-day. Not
one Spanish warship floats except as
our prize.
More than 200 Spanish dead and
500 to 700 wounded attest the accura-
cy of the American fire.
Commodore Dewey attacked the
Spanish position at Cavite this morn
ing. Heswept five times along and
scored one of the most brilliant sue
cesses in modern warfare. aE
That our loss is trifling adds to the
pleasure of victory without detracting
from its value. The number of hits
our vessels received proved how
brave and stubborn was the defense
made by the Spanish forces, '''.1 -
Miraculous as 1t may appear, none
of our men were killed, and only
eight were wounded. Those who
were wounded suffered only slight
injuries. dIoT wG 20 c
Commodore Dewey arrived off Ma
nilla Bay last night and decided to
enter the bay at once. With all its
lights out the squadron steamed into
Bocagrade, with crews at the guns.
This was the order of the squadron,
which was kept during the whole
time of the first battle: The Flag
ship Olympia, the McCulloch, the Bal
tlmore, the Raleigh, the Petrol, the
Concord, the Boston,
1t was just 8 o'clock, bright moon
light night. But the flagship passed
Corregidor leland without a sign be-
ing given that the Spaniards were
aware Of its approach. Not until the
flagship was mile beyond Corregi-
dor was gun fired. Then one heavy
shot went screaming over the Raleigh
and another at the Olympia, followed
by second, which fell farther astern.
The Raleigh, the Concord and the
Boston replied, the Concord's shells
exploding apparently exactly inside
the shore battery, which fred no
more. 49,
Our squadron slowed down to
barely Storage way and the men
were allowed to sleep alongside their
guns.
Commodore Dewey had timed our
arrival so that we were within five
miles of Manila at day break.
We then sighted the Spanish squad
ron, Rear Admiral Montejo COM
manding, off Cavite--pronounce Ka-
veetay, with accent on the 'vee."
Here the Spanish had well equipped
navy yard called Cavite Arsenal.

FORGED TO THE WALL.

The grain firm of Jonas Erlanger & Co.,. doing business at 3oS Davis street, has failed through speculation in various forms. The direct cause of the failure was the sale and purchase of several grain contracts by the caller yesterday, under the rules of the Produce Exchange Call Board Association. Erlanger, who. despite the "Co.," is the only member of the firm, happened to be on the wrong side of the deal and was forced to the wall.
 Mir. Erlanger stated last evening that his indebtedness is only to two men, who have perfect confidence in him and would be willing to cancel the indebtedness if the debtor were willing.
 II have been in the business for six years,'' said Erlanger, 'and my integrity is we'll known. This is the first time I have been embarrassed financially. may find tomorrow that I shall be able to pay all I owe. and I may find that I shall be able to pay only part. I shall do the best can. It just happened that was on the wrong side of the specula- tive deal and happened to get 'cinched. I do not care to say until tomorrow how much owe or who are my creditors.''

LONDON, April 6.-The Yokohama correspondent of the Times says: for the first time public opinion in Japan Is vehemently excited. There IS no general opposition to a British occupa- tion of Wei-Hai- Wei, but there IS feeling that Japan must assert herseh and secure some other foothold on the Asiatic continent.

TO AID PRINTERS. Carpenters District Council Offers a Helping Hand to the Strikers.

At meeting of the Carpenters Dis trict Council last night 1t was unani- mously decided that the heartiest sympa- thy be extended the printers in their struggle for a nine-hour day, and that the Council would aid the cause in any and every way within its power. The District Council is a central body in which all the Carpenters Unions in the city are represented. and its support will undoubtedly be of great assistance to the strikers.
 An effort will be made to increase the membership of the Carpenters Unions and increase enthusiasm as much as pos sble. To further this the District Coun- cil IS planning to hold series of weekly meetings open to all carpenters, where trade matters will be freely discussed and the value of working card from the Building Trades Council particularly em- phasized. While there has been no no- ticeabie falling off, the unions have not grown as rapidly as has been desired. and it will be the object of these meetings not only to bring in outsiders, but to awaken members to a fuller realization of their duty.

ATTACKED HIM
 WITH AN AX Sensational Allegations in a San Rafael Divorce
 Suit.
George w. McMillan Tells of Alleged Cruelties of His
 Wife.
An Unhappy Husband, Who Dodged Clock Sent Flying Toward
 Ills Head.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, April 6.-In a com plaint for divorce filed to-day in County Clerk Thomas s. Bonneau's office by George W. McMillan against Annie j.. McMillan, a story of domestic troubles of a strange character is revealed. The plaintiff, George w. McMillan, was, un- til a few days ago. the proprietor or a San Rafael photographic gallery. Ms. McMilian is connected with one of San Francisco's best families.
 The couple were married in Oregon about twelve years ago and have two children. Their welded bliss was brief AS weeks grew into months and months into years change came and MT. and Mrs. McMillan frequently quarreled. The husband accused the wife of being unfaithful. She, the complaint alleges, would display an uncomfortable temper and proceed to demolish everything within sight Furniture, crockery, glass and even the clocks were used as weapons and after the scene was over the wreckage would lie about in heaps upon the floor.
 One scene is described by McMillan to support his allegations of cruelty. He alleges that while engaged in taking 
 ceived severe burns and when his wife saw him in his suffering condition she added to his woes by throwing a clock at his head and threatening to kill him. Not satisfied with this display she at- tempted to pour coal oil over his bed and apply a match for the purpose Of burning him.
 From bad to worse the domestic troubles of the photographer and his wife went until in March, 1897, the wife started in to wreck his place of busi- ness, and when he interfered she turned about and assaulted him. In February of the present year. so the complaint alleges, Mrs. McMillan made another attempt to wreck the photo graph gallery, and succeeded in smash ing huge glass picture frame. On March 15. 1898, Mrs. McMillan changed her tactics, and instead of her fists as a-weapon she procured an aX and made threats to use 1t upon her husband. On the following day she carried out her threats by yielding the ax in an artistic manner, wrecking everything in reach. The blade of the ax made inroads upon the furniture, and she proceeded to chop the bedstead into splinters, finally ending up by making an assault upon the mattress with the ax.
