worth of coke was shipped out of the re-

there were over 100000 tons shipped,
but it yielded an aggregate revenue of
only little over $4,000, 900 because of

WASHINGTON. May 8.-The greatest
anxiety is felt in official circles 80 70
the casualties sustained by the Amert-.
can fleet. From the stubborn defense
made by the Spaniards it is feared that
before they burned, blew up or sunk y
their ships they managed to infiict
severe damage upon Commodore Dew
ey's squadron. All Of the ships en-
gagged were vulnerable in one respect,
namely, In their lack Of protection 70
life. There was not an armored ship
in Commodore Dewey's feet, the near
est approach being the flagship Olym-
pia. In all cases, with the exception OF
some slight protection in the shape of
gun shields, the personnel Of the ships
was exposed to the fire Of the enemy.
II Commodore Dewey has lost con-
siderable portion Of his men it is feared
he will be much embarrassed In the
work Of maintaining possession Of ma
nila for lack Of sufficient force. It may
be, and in fact it is expected, that "

will succeed In having his men relieved
