Night.

The finance committee recommended
refunding to the Home for Aged Women
nj so paid as water rent for 1897, which
report was adopted. BY an act of the Leg.
slature all public charitable institutions

refunding of the amount.
| Mr.. Oberly presented an ordinance max.
ing extraordinary appropriations The Or
| dinance Is necessary because after Council
had made its appropriations the Legisla.
ture passed laws compelling an additional
appropriation Of $500 to the Phoenix Fire
Company and also an appropriation of
| 5000 to pay the three county assessors of
Wilmington hundred for making the as
sessment under the Adams tax law, The
Board Of Port Wardens also need On ap-
prpriation Of $500.
Mr3 Smith thought that the appropria-
| tion for the port wardens should be mado
for the committee on navigation.

early to make extraordinary appropria-
tions
Mr.. Leary raised the point Of order that
the ordinance was merely up for first read
ing and was not under consideration.

we'll taken; the ordinance was read a Sec
ond time and referred to the low commit
tee.

MANZANILLO VICTORY
As Modestly Told by Commander Todd, Of
the Wilmington, in His Report to
Admiral Sampson.

Playa del Este, Cuba, July 90. - The
following is the official account of the
latst naval victory-that at Manzanilo
of the United States gunboat Whining
ton, in his report to Admiral Sampson:
AT o'clock on the morning Of July
10 the vessels on blockade duty in this
vicinity. the Wilmington, Helena. Hist.
Scorpion, Hornet Wampatuck and Os-
ceola, approached the harbor of Manza-
milo from the westward At 7:3O the
Wilmington and Helena entered the
northern channel, toward the city, the
Scorpion and the Osceola the midchan-
mel, and the Hist, Hornet and \yampa-
tuck the south channel, the movements
of the vessels being so timid as to bring
them within effective range of the ship
ping at about the same moment.
AT 1850 fire was opened on the ship
ping, and after a deliberate fire last
ing about two and half hours three
Spanish transports El Gloria, Jose
Garcia and La Puriciama Conception
were burned and destroyed. The Pom
toon, which was the harbor guard and
store shop probably for ammunition,
was burned and blown up. Three gun
boats were destroyed. One other was
driven ashore and third was driven
ashore and his believed to have been
disabled.
The firing was maintained at a
range which is believed to he beyond
the range of the shore artillery. 1t was
continued until, after a gradual closing
in, the shore batteries opened fire at
comparatively short range, when the
ships were recalled, the object of the
expedition having been accomplished.
and the ideas of the commander-in-
chief carried out as understood them
that Is. to destroy the encrly's ship
ping, but not to engage the field bat
teriGs Or forts.
mo casualties occurred on board
any of our vessels Great care was
taken in directing the fire, that as lit
tie damage as possible should be done
to the city itself. and so far as could be
observed little if any was done. All of
our vessels were handled with sound
discretion and excellent Judgment by
the several commanding officers"
