DEWEY, MANILA:
The President, in the name of the
American people, thanks you and
your officers and men for your
splendid achievement and over

he has appointed you Acting
Admiral, and will recommend a
vote Of thanks to you by Congress.

A closer examination of the two
cablegrams show that in the news
as originally given out the names
of two Spanish vessels had been
omitted from the list of those de-
stroyed. They were the Don Juan
De Austria and the Isla De Luzon.
The Austria was a l,l30-ton vessel,
fourteen knots, carrying four seven
inch guns and also machine guns
The Luzon was l,000-ton boat,
similarly armed. That makes elev.

WASHINGTON, May An official

operations in the Philippines was
received this morning. He states
that he destroyed the Spanish fleet,
silenced the batteries at Cavite 4;
that he cut the cable himself and
that he has the bay and everything
else completely at his mercy. He
has, however, been unable to take
possession of the town of Manila for
lack of men.
The report came in two dispatches.
The First Message.
The first, as given out at the Navy

1t may not be known generally
that the wife of Maxine Gomez,
COMMUNICATIVE of the insur-
gent forces in Cuba, is an American
woman, but such appears to be the
fact. Representative Gibson claims
to represent the district in Tennes-
see where she was born. Her form
er name was Miss Pink Martin, a
daughter of Mr.. Henry Martin, who
lived on Nails Creek, in a county of
East Tennessee. The family was
one of the best in the county, and
her father was very wealthy, So that
Miss Martin was given exceptional
opportunities during her childhood
and early wOmanhOOd. She first
married a Georgian, but he died
directly after the civil war, and as
Mrs. Cline, his widow, she went to
Havana, where her brothers were
engaged in business. While at the
Cuban capital she met Maxine

The President sent a message to

lowing our national precedents and
expressing the fervent gratitude
of every patriotic heart, the thanks
of Congress be given Acting Rear
Admiral George Dewey, of the

men under his command for their
gallantry in the destruction of the
enemy's fleet and the capture of the
enemy's Notifications in the Bay of
Manila" Both Houses adopted a
joint resolution in accordance with
the Presidents message.
A bill was passed by Congress
raising the number of Admirals from
six 20 seven, to provide for Dewey's
promotion. Senator Lodge also pre-
sented, and the Senate passed, a
resolution authorizing the President
to present a sword to Dewey and
medals to officers and men under
him who were in the battle at Ma

of Cuba. They have been fortunate
in having a better government.
They have suffered less from ty-
rAnny and taxation, and the island
is so small, the people are so COM
pactly settled, that they have been
more easily controlled by the mill
tary. There have been revolution
airy outbreaks from time to time, but
none of them were serious, and the
people have been kept in such a
state of ignorance that they are
scarcely able to tell the difference
between good and bad government.
The intelligent classes, being most
ly Spaniards, have been loyal to the
mother country and have frowned
upon political cOnspiracies. The
Duke of Neragua, descendant Of
Columbus, is a Senator for life from
Porto Rico to the Spanish Cortes,

ceived pensions from the revenues

SdluEudys
Official reports of Dewey's re-
markable victory at Manila were re-
ceived. They showed that the
Spanish fleet was utterly annlhilat-
ed; that hundreds of Spanish sailors
were killed or wounded, while the
American vessels were not injured
and not an American was killed.
After capturing the fortress, Cavite,
the Admiral holds the city at his
mercy.
Two small Spanish boats were
captured by the Montgomery.
The gunboat Vicksburg and cutter
Morrill, were lured by a schooner
Saturday morning to within mile
and a half of the Santa Clala bat
teries, which opened fire. Both
vessels suffered some damage from
shrapuel and quickly put out OF
range, the Vicksburg barely escap-
ing an eight-inch solid shot.
The batteship Oregon arrived al
Bahia, Brazil, about l,400 miles
north, following the coast line, from
Rio Janeiro, where she was las
heard from. This is still long dis
tance from home, and some fears
are entertained as to the ships
safety.

UPROAR THE CORTES.
A Carlist Deputy is Expelled After an
Exciting Scene.


Exciting Scene.
MADRID, May THE chamber
has witnessed the most uproarous
scenes in the annals of the cortes
SenOr Mella, Carlist deputy, in a
speech, made use of a scriptural
quotation referring to Ian unfor-
tunate nation whose kings are
boys" adding that women were al
ways the cause of the fall of thrones.
SenOr Sagasta, the premier, sup
ported by majority of the chamber,
protested amid the greatest con-
fusion against SenOr Mella's
language. The republicans sided
with the Carlists. The speaker re-
quested Senior Mella to withdraw
his words, but this the deputy re-
fused to do, saying that they were
scriptural. The president named
Senor Mella thrice, declaring that
his refusal to withdraw the language
he had used was disrespectful to the
dynasty and then submitted the
question of the expulsion from the
chamber of the offending member.
A division was taken amid a ter
rible uproar, resulting in the eX-
pulsion of Senior Mella by a vote of
1899 to 10, the republicans voting with
the Carlists. Upon the announce
ment of the result, both the repub-
licans and Carlists walked from the
chamber.
