Dewey About Noon.
The battle, which was started at
about $3.50 a. NJ, and adjourned at $3.50
g. NJ, was resumed about noon, when
Commodore George Dewey started in
to put the finishing touches on his
glorious work. There was not much
fight left in the Spaniards by that time,
and at p. m. the Petrol and Concord

floating the white flag.
The Spanish gunboats were then
scuttled, the arsenal was on fire and
the explosion of Spanish magazine
caused further mortality among the
defenders of Spain on shore.
On the water the burning. sunken or
destroyed Spanish vessels could be
seen, while only the cruiser Baltimore
had suffered in any way from the fire
of the enemy. A shot which struck
her exploded some ammunition near
one Of her guns and slightly injured
half dozen Of the crew. 7. .3s<
Several shots passed dangerously
close to Commodore Dewey but little if

flagship. On the other hand about 400

Admiral Montejo, the SPANS h COM

Isle de Cuba when his ship eau ght fire,
but the latter was destroyed in due
course of time.
About 100 men were killed and go
wounded on board the Castillo. Indeed,
some estimate the number of Spanish
wounded at over 1000 men, The
Olympia was struck five times about
her upper works, and a whaleboat Of
the Raleigh was smashed. Although
the Krupp guns on the Varlande de
Manila were fred continuously during
the engagement, Commodore Dewey
did not reply to them, and the battery
afterwards hoisted a white flag in
token Of surrender.
The terms Of the capitalization were
still unsettled when the cCulloch left

the bay were dismantled on Wednes.

It is said the American commodore
ordered the cable to be cut because the
Spaniards refused to permit him to use
it pending the complete surrender Of
the city.

THE FIRST ENGAGEMENT.

49, ''s0 ! .
1t Began at $3.50 in the Morning and
Continued Three Hours.
The American feet entered Manila
bay on Sunday night with the greatest
of ease. The Spaniards had not estab.
lished a patrol and there were no
searchlights at the entrance of the bay.
In fact the American ships would
probably have passed inside the bay
without any challenge, had it not been
that some sparks flew up fr ON the Nc
Culloch's funnel: u Thereupon few
shots were exchanged with the batter
les on Corregidor island, but the feet
did not slow down, and soon took up q
position near Cavite awaiting dawn, in
order to commence hostilities. '
The early hours Of the morning re-
vealed the opposing ships to, each
other, and the Spanish flagship opened
fire. Her action was followed by some
of the larger Spanish warships, and
then the .Cavite forts opened up and
the smaller Spanish warships brought
their guns into play.
The American squadron which had
been led into the bay and through the
channel by the flagship Olympia did
not reply to this, although the

whose gunnery was very poor, the
shots from the Cavite battery and
from Spanish ships being equally

following was their order: The flag

Victory Of Americans at Ma

! HONG KoNG, May 1O.-Among ma
val men, military men and civilians,
there is only one subject of discussion,
the brilliant, dashing, annihilating vic
tory Of the American feet under Com
modore Dewey over the Spanish fleet
commanded by Admiral Montejo in
Manila bay on Sunday last. =.
Commodore Dewey's orders were to
capture or destroy the Spanish fleet,
and never were instructions executed
in SO complete fashion. At the end
Of seven hours there was absolutely
nothing left of the Spanish feet but a
few relics. The American commander
most skillfully arranged every detail
Of the action, and even the most insig-
nificant features were carried out with
perfect punctuality and in railroad time
table order. 49,.
spaniards Had tho Advantage.
The position occupied by the Span
lards, the support which their ships re.
'seived 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 killed and wounded; that
all their ships, amounting to about IA,
were destroyed, and that their naval
arsenal at Cavite was also destroyed
with it's defenses, it will become ,ap-
parent 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 American feet was killed;
not a ship was damaged to any extent,
and only six men were injured slightly
on board the Baltimore. This grand
achievement is quite as much due to
the generalship of Commodore Dewey
as to the fact that American gunners,
ships and guns are superior to any.
thing in the same line afoat anywhere.
Credit must also be given to the fullest
extent to the officers under Commodore
Dewey, for to man they seconded
their gallant commander in every way.

Nearly All Arc Represented in Uncle

The makeup Of the armies OF the

the army came to a railroad, and nesr by

taken apart by the fleeing enemy colo

o few minutes and then inquired:
"Can any OF you men put this machine

heap OF wheels and rods, and after look
ing at them for moment saluted and
said:

A confederate general told story after
the war which also illustrates the make up
OF the armies Of the United States. He
said that he had often sent out squads to
burn railroad bridge in the face OF the
advancing Federals, and while the officer
in charge of the squad was riding back to
report that the bridge had been destroyed,
the Federal soldiers were rebuilding II,
and before the officer could report the
Federal troops were crossing.
The volunteer armi0 OF the United
States today are made 4 OF skilled me-
charles and professional men. There are
enough men in the volunteer service to-
day to make shoes for the volunteers II

Rineers wearing the uniforms OF privates

smiths could be secured on short notice
from ths ranks. Every regiment could
furnish enough skilled printers and
treined newspaper men to equip and run
could organize minstrel company that
would make Billy West or Lew Docksta-
der hustle to retain their laurels.
An army of Americans could furnish
men capable Of doing about everything
that mortal man could do. This will ex-
plain why an army of Americans will
always win In the long run.
