(From the Pittsburg Leader. }

Hon. John Wanamaker is man Of many
waterloos. In fact, since the golden days when
he held an appointive Office by the grace of
Benjamin Harrison, all Mr. Wanamaker's ex-
perienccs in the hunt for office have been in
the line of being soundly whipped He was a
candidate against Boies Penrose for the United
States Senate. and came out of the contest much
battered and bruised and rending the air with
his lamentations. He was a candidate for gov
ernor before the last Republican convention, and
again met defeat in his Characteristic style with
a frightfu outcry. Finding that the Republican
party would have of him, Mr.. Wanamaker
next marched into the Democratic camp in
the capacity of chief hacker of Judge Gordon.
of Philadelphia. With him went David Martin,
of Philadelphia, and sundry touts and runners at
tached to the Hastings administration. II he
conld not be the Republican candidate himself,
Mr.. Wanamaker thought, he might perhaps get
even by setting up the Democratic candidate
and providing the "sinews' for his campaign.
But here again this persevering citizen found
himself checkmated. His backing of Gordon
really served only to drive away support from
that candidate, and when the State conven-
tion voted. he found himself Watcrlooed again.
Where Mr.. Wanamaker will land next is an
interesting subject of speculation. Both Repub-
lican and Democratic camps are closed against
him. and he cannot turn to DR.. Swallows or
ganization, since, before appealing to the De-
mocracy, he solemnly foreswore Swallow and
Swallows principles and associates. Unless he
undertakes to organize brand-new party, the
political career Of the pious Philadelphia states
man must be regarded - closed.

WAS A cHuM OF MIR. M'K1NLEY.
Paymaster Coffin and the Presi-
dent Served ms Soldiers Together.

(From the Philadelphia Record)
President Mckinley has made very few
personal appointments in the Army since
the war with Spain was begun. One of
these is Eugene Coffin whose friends are
TO be counted in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, and whom the Pres
ident has appointed a paymaster.
Coffin was a member of the band that
accompanied the Twenty-third Ohio Resi-
ment to the front when President Lin
coin made his first call for volunteers in
1861. In this regiment We're Gen. Rose
Grams, who died few months ago; Presi-
dent Hayes. Justice Stanley Matthews.
Gen. Bob Kennedy. and President Nc
Kinley himself Coffin then became inti-
mate with young Mckinley, and they
have ever since been the warmest of
friends.
Coffin has been for years clerk at Will
lard's Hotel. Washington. and he has a
wide reputation among travelling men.
because of the musical inscriptions with
which he heads the register at that hotel
each day in the year. He is great fel-
low for fun, as many persons who have
stayed at Wizards can attest
A few months ago a large quantity of
bedding was added to the hotel stock.
With indelible ink Coffin inscribed a bar
of some familiar melody on each sheet.
and in such a place that when a guest
should turn down the clothes to get into
bed the music might confront him.
Among the songs thus represented in
the Willard's bedding were Happy Be
Thy Dreams" Now l Lay Me Down TO
Sleep "Sweetiy Dreaming" After
Toll Cometh Rest" Come Where Ny
Love Lies Dreaming" oft in the Silly
Night" Good Night. Good Night Be-
loved wedding March from Lohen-
grim DO / Wake or am l Dreaming?"
Il Dreamt I Dwell in Marble Halls
'oh. What a Difference in the Morning"
Let Me Dream Again." ''Of Thee l am
Dreaming, Marie" and many others of
like sentiment.
Coffin's plan for amusement was to
first spot his victim, and then a note to
the .housekeeper calling for certain tune
for such a room was all that was necss-
sa-y to complete his happiness. His first
victim was a Philadelphia drummer, who
drifted in one night somewhat the worse
for his rounds.
The housekeeper was notified. and a
bed was placed in order When the drum
mer awoke the first thing that met his
gaze was the chorus of Tony Pastors old
song. "Oh. What a Difference in the
Morning." 1t made a hit with him. AID
he insisted IN purcha sing It as a gift for
a friend
Coffin is one of the finest saxaohone
players in the country. For years he has
amused the guests at Willard's at the
regular evening concert in the evening.
but he will be seen no more al the desk
in Wizards until Cuba is no longer under
the dominion of the Dons.

sufferers from chronic diseases of taking
treatment during the summer months.

Chicago, May THE Chronicle has
the following:
Hong Kong, May 7.-Commodore
Brumby, arrived at Hong Kong this
morning on the United States revenue
cutter Hugh McCulloch, with the first
official news of the great naval battle
of modern times, that of Manila har-
Dor. The official dispatches were at
once forwarded by cable to the United
States government at Washington.
THE first connected story of the en-
gagement was told by the officers of
the McCulloch, who saw it and par
ticipated in it. They said that SPANS
fleet of ten vessels was wholly de-
stroyed
THE Reina Maria Christina, flagship
of the Spanish squadron, was the CEN
ter of attack at the beginning of the
action, and under the hot fire poured
in on her from the American ships, she
was soon burning from stem to stern.
Admiral Montejo, the Spanish adj
miral, was compelled to escape in a
small boat to the Isla de Cuba, an
other of the Spanish vessels, and as
soon as his flag was hoisted, the guns
of the American fleets were turned on
it, and in a few minutes it was de-
The admiral was again forced to
escape in small boat. The defenses
of Manila and its batteries, as well as
those at Cavite, were silenced and then
beaten to the ground by the rain of
shot and shell.
During Saturday night the vessels

of the American squadron crept inside
the bay through a supposed maze of
mines and torpedoes. They were not
observed by any of the watchers on
the Spanish garrisons until some stray
sparks were emitted from the funnel
of the dispatch boat Hugh McCulloch.
Then few shots were exchanged with
the garrison on Corregidor island, but,
owing to the darkness. they were in
effective. There was no patrol estab-
lished, nor were any searchlightS
placed at the entrance to Manila bay.
THE vessels of the American squad
ron never stopped or slowed down until
they had assumed a position directly
opposite the city of Manila. This was
just at daybreak.
The order of battle assumed by the
Spanish fleet at the beginning of the
engagement was with all the small
craft inside Cavite harbor, which is
protected by stone and timber break
waters, and the larger ships maneu-
vering of Cavite and Manila.
The American battle line was led by
the flagship Olympia, and the cruiser
Raleigh. The Boston. Baltimore Con-
McCulloch followed. The American
fleet in. easy speed approached the
Spanish ships. which were drawn out
in two lines. the Reina Maria Chris
tina, the flagship, in the center.
'As the dawn broke and the position
of the American squadron was discov-
cred, the Spanish fleet Immediately
opened fire, supported by the Cavite
forts. The Spaniards fired the first
shot. The challenge was given by the
Reina Maria. Christina.

their fire. and the Cavite batteries let
loose their heavy guns. The best gun
ners in the American fleet manned the
most destructive weapons on their ships
and the havoc wrought was frightful.
The enga cement soon became general.
The McCulloch remained at some dis
lance from the brunt of the encounter
and the enemys shells passed, but did
not touch her. The craftsmanship of
the Spanish gunners seemed to be wild
from the outset.
1.-THE American cruiser Baltimore, at
one period of the engagement, received
the brunt of the enemy's fire and SUI
fered the most of any vessel in the
American squadron. From five to ten
of the enemy's shots took effect on the
Baltimore. but none of her officers or
crew were seriously hurt.
''As soon as the Spanish admiral left
the Maria Christina and boarded the
Isla de Cuba. the fire was directed at
the latter mercilessly, every 8-inch gun
on every ship joining those on the flag-
ship. The Isla de Cuba was riddled by
the deadly craftsmanship of the Amer
lean gunners. After q few rounds she
was put out of action and before Adj
miral Mentejo had time to get his bear
ings, he was driven out a second time.
Again he escaped in a small boat. But
the fight was practically over,
1.-THE Spanish cruiser Castillo burst
into flames under the remarkable gun
merry of Dewey's men. The American
commodore then directed a hot fire
against the batteries. This was a sur
prise to Admiral Montejo, who appar-
emily thought himself secure under the
guns of the Cavite Notifications.
1.-The Spanish cruiser Reina Maria
Christina received the full effect of this
CALLING fire from the American fleet, and
was so badly damaged that she sunk
after catching fire. The other vessels
of the Spanish fleet were quickly rid

WONDERFUL RESULTS.
A close study of Admiral Dewey's
two cablegrams during the day only
increased the wonder felt early in the
day by the naval experts at the extra
ordinary results achieved by the adj
miral, almost without injury The re-
ports that came before the cutting of
the cable were of a character to indi-
cate that Dewey was going to make
quick and thorough work of the seiZ-
ure of Manila. but it was feared that
in so fierce an engagement against a
Spanish fleet combined with the shore
defenses. the American fleet must sure
" have sustained a great deal of dam
age. loss of life and other injuries.
That was regarded as inevitable in a
combat between two navies, for even
the Chinese, in the great battle of
Yalu, managed to infict a considerable
amount of damage upon their Japan
csc antagonists. Yet in this battle of
Manila, lasting two hours at least, ac-
cording to reports first received, and
resulting in the destruction of the en-
tire Spanish fleet and the silencing of
their forts. not an American life was
lost and not an American ship was in
jured. A few men, it is true, were
slightly wounded, but that is frequent
