flying the Spanish flag.
In the meantime the Reina Christina
had been burning fiercely and had been
abandoned. The Ulloa, which had also
been deserted, lurched suddenly and sank
beneath the waters of the bay. A few
minutes later the Spanish flag on the ar
senal disappeared and was replaced by a
white ensign that tluttcred bravcly in the
wind The signal was then made to the
Petrol to finish the destruction of the YES
sells in the inner harbor. Dewey's orders
on approaching Manila had been to cap
ture or destroy every Spanish vessel in
sight. Within six hours after the Olym-
pia steamed past the Notifications at the
entrance to the harbor the orders had
been implicitly obeyed. Not Spanish

envy.
About 400 Spanish were killed or went
down in the ships, and perhaps 600 or
more wounded.

Washington special:

Washington special:
The cxasperating silence of the deep
was broken early Saturday morning when
Commodore George Dewey, hero of the
Philippines, flashed beneath the oceans
those words for which 100000 Amer-
cans had anxiously waited, in mingled
hope and fear. Half encircling the earth,
the message which officially reports one
of the most remarkable naval victories Of
modern times was dropped into the palm
of Uncle Sam before he had finished his
early morning nap.
Notwithstanding the fact that every
body for several days had been in mo-
mentary expectation of cable adviccs
from Commodore Dewey, Washington
was thrown into the widest excitement
early Saturday morning by the
receipt of news announcing the ar

and a perfect storm of projectiles was
poured IN upon the unfortunate Spanish
fleet Three vessels were set on fire and
their men were forced to abandon the

Satisfied with the work thus far accom-

the range of the batteries in order that
the crews, which had been continuously
at the guns for more than two hours,
could go to breakfast. For three hours
they remained out of range of the enemy S

mcnt from Commodore Dewey. The
publication of newspaper dispatches tell
ing of terrible mortality among the Span
Ish and the escape of the American
forces, men and ships, from serious in
jury added to the excitement and to the
intense satisfaction with which the long
expected news was received.
The State Department had the honor of
receiving the first news. 1t came in
abe shape of ca6legram of three words
from United States Consul Wildman al
Hong Kong. aud was as follows:
"HougKong McCulloch. Wildman.'
That is the usual form in which nava.
movements are reported by cable. The
naval officials were promptly notified and
awaited with intense interest the dis
patch which soon came from Commodore
Dewey.
In brief. Commodore Dewey states that

Dewey's Feat Without a Parallel in
in History.

Dewcy'S Feat Without faralleI III
in History.
The officials Of the Navy Department
were simply amazed at the extent of the
mortality inflicted upon the Spanish adj
miral by Admiral Dewey-for, from the
moment when Secretary Long sent his
dispatch of congratulation. the commo-
dore became an admiral. Never before,
save where some terrible accident, such
as the blowing up Of ship had occurred
was there any record of such result
The opinion was expressed by strateglsts
that with superb Judgment Dewey abso-
lutcly smothered the fire of the Spanish
batteries and ships under the weight Of
his metal before they had an opportunity
to make any effective response.
Admiral Dewey speaks of the Spanish
sick and wounded hospital within our
lines" There can be but one interpreta-
ton placed upon this, namely, that the
admiral has occupied Cavite, consid-
cradle town about seven miles toward the
mouth Of the bay from Manila. He has
thus, supposing he gees no farther Sc
cured naval base for the naval fleet
which will serve through the remainder
of the war at least. An important fea-
ture of Admiral Dewey's cableGrams is
the statement that he destroyed the forti-
tications at the bay entrance. This re
fers to the strong forts at Corregldor
Island lying at the entrance to the bay
and insures the admiral against any in
corruption in the line Of communications
with the outside world.
AS soon as the news in the cablegrams
had been fairly absorbed by the officials
they turned their attention to the future.
1t was already in contemplation to send
some troops to relieve the squadron of
the necessity of occupying Manila and the
forts if Admiral Dewey should call for
them. Secretary Long stated that with
out waiting further the Government
would send troops to rc-enforce Admiral
Dewey with all promptitude. Secretary
Alger and Gen. Miles were communicate
ed with on the subject and they immedi-
;ltcly planned all necessary arrangements
for the sending of an expedition from San
Francisco.

TO OCCUPY THE PHILIPPINES.

Troops to Re Sent There to Hold What
Has Been Taken.
Washington special:
The administration has decided to occu-
py the Philippines with strong military
force as soon as possible. For this pur-
pose, Pacific slope troops will be used, and
it is expected that at least 5000 will be
en- route within the next ten days. There
does not seem to be any doubt as to the
governments purpose to hold these isl
ands pending final settlement with
Spain, when they will be used as a collat-
cral to secure the payment to the United
States of war indemnity. High officials
are of the opinion that none of the powers
will seriously dispute our right to make
such final disposition. In any event, this

thrown Il burden on the United States.

A Dastardly Act.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. ia mysterious
attempt was made tonight to blow up
the Northern Pacific bridge in the eastern
OUTSKIRTS Of the city. The miscreants
wrapped 10 pounds of dynamite in a pair
OF oVeralls, placed it under the bridge.
poured oil over the woodwork and piled
up a mass Of combustlbles. They then
nred the bridge. The blaze was seen by a
man living near by. He scattered the com
pustlb'es' ana in doing so dragged the
dynamite several feet away from the
bridge. He then started away for helm.
lie had gone only a few feet when the
dynamite exploded. He was thrown to
the ground, but not severely injured. The
fire was ~extinguished before the bridge
had been damaged. There is no clue to the
dynamiters.
