1t was a bold exploit OF Commodore
Dewey to force his way into the bay of
Manila through a narrow channel by ii;tht
to attack the Spanish feet pro.ec ed ty
the guns of the inner forts. BY entering
thus in the dark the mines in the chant Il
were rendered useless. since The electricians
could not see when to fire them AMI the
craftsmanship of the gunners in tho fc"ts
guarding the entrance TO the bay was
probably not improved by the want OF

DEwEY's GREAT VICTORY.

The confirmation Of the first reports o
Commodore Deweys sweeping victory a
Manila VIII be read with feelings Of exnl'
tatioii and National pride from center Il
circumference OF this great country. Az
said by an English dispatch some days ago
in quoting Nelson, 1t was mot victory but
annhilation"
But the Nation has already discounted
| the news The confidence in Dewey and his
men was supreme and there was no fear
further than that our own losses might
have been considerable. The official report
turns out to be better than we expected
| however, and we can scarcely help being
| amazed, with the rest Of the world, at the
| brllliaDcy and the completeness OF the
American victory
The Maine has already been terribly
avenged
Yet greater than the mere triumph OF
the hour, further reaching than the ply
steal effects OF Dcweys daring and leader
ship and the bravery and skill of his crews
will be the moral effects Of this battle.
In Europe IT will BIZ lesson
1t will open The eyes OF the world to our
greatness on the sea. to our offensive
power. to the certainty that we must be
consulted In the future as one of the
dominant forces on the globe The ridicuc
and sneers that have sprung from nsoleut
Ignorance In the past viii cease, and the
American will be known abroad as he IL
and not as he has been pictured
The moral effec; will produce physical
or material effects, until 1t will b. I'M
possible TO measure the value to us Of this
one bold stroke. From financial stand
point it will be worth what this war will
cost.
But the greatest results viii follow In the
Far East The Orientals will recognize a
new power and one that they hardly knew
existed before In China. Japan, the Philip
pines, the Straits Settlements. whore the
American flag is not often seen over a
warship, there will be a new respect for
the Stars and Stripes that will mean much
To this Nation. No point could have been
deliberately selected at which to strike a
blow for American prestige. that would
have been better situated for preaching
effects than Manila.
We have occasion as Nation TO re
ioiec We had built up great hone in our
navy and we have not been disappointed
1t is more than likely that before the
echoes OF our hurrahs die away we will
nave another signal display of American
Naor and power to celebrate. The Nation
has needed these sou-stirring events and
they are doing us good In thousand ways.
