SPANISH Losses.

Losses of Spanish vessels are:
Second-class cruiser Don Juan de
Austria, blown up and sunk. Her COM
mander killed.
Cruiser Reina Maria Christina, flag
ship, set on fire by shells. Burned and
sunk. Her commander killed.
Cruiser Castillo, burned and a COM
plete wreck.
Cruiser Mindano, severely damaged.
Cruiser Ullao, damaged and put out
of action.
Late official kilograms to the govern
ment say that several other warships
were sunk to avoid their falling into the
hands of the enemy.
The Attack.
When morning came the Cavite forti-
fications opened fire and at once the flag
ship Olympia fired her eight-inch for
ward guns in reply. From this the fir
ing became general. Admiral Montejo,
in the Reina Maria Christina, went bold
ly to meet the foe. He was soon en-
gagged with the Olympia. cruiser of
much superior force, and though he in
flicted some injury his ships was set on
fire and crippled by the Olympia s
heavy fire.
The Second Engagement.
In the second attack the Baltimore.
Oily mpia, Concord and Boston made
straight for the crippled Spanish ships,
firing their heavy guns with great ra-
p'dity. The Spanish gunners stood
nobly to their guns and answered shot
for shot. But weight was on the Amer
lean side and soon the large cruiser
Castillo was on fire and all the efforts
CT the crew to extinguish the blaze
were unavailing.
Blown to Pieces.
The Don Juan de Austria was even
less fortunate. She, too, was crippled
by the shots of the Americans and in
her helpless condition could not es-
cape the storm of shot and shell. Sud-
denly her magazine exploded. great
cloud of smoke, from which flames
seemed to leap, was seen to rise above
the ship and she was seen no more.

Washington, May 2.-Washington is
rejoiced. Not since the dark days of

been SO profoundly moved by war news
as they were Sunday evening. The first
battle of the ispano-American war has

President Reticent.
Thus far no official advices have been
received by the government, but press
dispatches were transmitted to the
president and officials of the admins
tration as rapidly as they were received.
The president, in company with several
of his advisers, read the bulletins in the
library of the white house early in the
evening, but later in the night he went
to his office on the second floor of the
executive mansion where, until "a late
hour. he continued to peruse every dis
patch with deepest interest. The news
was evidently of the most gratifying
character to him. but no statement
could be obtained at the executive man
sion concerning the battle or its pos
sible consequences.

Anxiety in Washington.
Washington, May 5.-There is con-
siderable anxiety here caused by the
failure to hear from Admiral Dewey.
The reports which were widely circu-
lated Wednesday morning that the Nc
Culloch had arrived at Hong-Kong gave
foundation for the belief that the anx-
iety which has existed since the Manila
cable was cut would soon be relieved.
Now that the day passed without q
word from Admiral Dewey the appre-
hension has become acute. Ali sorts of
predictions are current, from the total
destruction of his fleet to his capture.
The opinion most widely expressed is
that Admiral Dewey entered Manila
bay, annihilated the Spanish fleet, bonn
barded the town, but could not capture
the forts guarding the harbor.
