order that Commodore Dewey may Off
cially notify his government of the re-
suit of the engagement 1t will be neces-
sary for him to send his dispatches to
Hong Kong, which is 600 miles distant
from the present position of his fleet.
The deductions which have been
drawn from the dispatches as sent by
the Spaniards from Manila are that the
Spanish fleet was annihilated. The
theory that their ships were destroyed,
as set forth above, is founded upon the
manner in which the press censor sent
the news from Madrid after it had been
transmitted in a form satisfactory to
the officials at Manila. That the de-
feat of the Spaniards was a serious
one seems certain from the fact
that the Spanish officials admit
the loss of three of their best war
ships, and while making this state
ment fail to say that an American YES
sci was destroyed. Had one of Com
modore Dewey's ships gone down as
the result of the engagement, Spain

Ordinarily Washington is the quiet
est of cities on Sunday, but as bull
letin after bulletin was posted in front
of the newspaper offices, each success
sively conveying information more
gratifying than its predecessor, the
crowds in the streets became uproar-
ious. Good as well as bad news spreads
rapidly, and by ten o'clock the streets
were crowded with people, all discuss

JHundreds gathered in front of the
bulletin boards, and every scintilla of
newsstand it was all glorious-was re-
ceived with enthusiastic cheers. While
victory had been expected, the news of

sources-gave ven to the patriotism of
the people which has been pent up for
days. 1t vas a spontaneous outburst
of patriotic feeling hat scarcely knew

LONDON, May 1.-The greatest naval
6attle of modern times has been fought
of the Philippines, and the squadron
under Commodore Dewey, of the
United States navy, has won q glorious
victory.
According to the latest reports, which
Abe Spaniards don't attempt to deny,
there have been destroyed two ships at
least of the Spanish navy and the loss
of many men killed upon the Spanish
side.
It is reported that Dewey's squadron
entered Cavite under cover of darkness,
and when day broke arrived off the

just What He Wanted.

One of the first men to reach San Fran.
cisco with a hoard of Klondike gold was an
1rishman named Finnegan, who had been
very poor before he struck it rich, and who,
consequently, was unfamiliar with many or
binary uses of a life of luxury.
"O say, yez kin bring NE two dozen eye
%sters," he said, airily, as he took a seat in
one of the finest restaurants in Frisco.
The oysters were soon set before him. and
Finnegan, looking about him for something
to put on them, and hardly knowing what
the something should be, spied a bottle of
Tobasco and proceeded to season tie BIZ
valves, not wisely, but too well.
lmpaling an oyster on his fork, he
thrust it into his mouth, then leaped to his
feet with a terrific roar of pain and began
dancing about and yelling like a mailman.
See here!" cried the proprietor, rushing
to the table, keep still, or I'll put you OUT"
"Pp-put me out. is it? Oh wish yez would
put me out" yelled Finnegan. "Me in
sides is blazin' loike a match factory!"-

Another Blow for the Spanish Ships in
American Waters.

ST JOINS, N. F., May 1.-The gov
ernor, Sir Herbert Murray, issued
royal gazette extraordinary Saturday
night, containing the following proc
lamation, received from Rt. Hon. Jo-
seph Chamberlain, imperial secretary
of state for the colonies:
mo coal shall be supplied to any bel.
llgerent ships except for the specific
purpose of enabling them to proceed
direct to their own country, or to some
other named neutral destination, with
reference to which the supply of coal
is given.
Goal should not be supplied at all if
there are reasonable grounds for sup
posing that it is, in fact, to be used for
another purpose"
The proclamation is regarded as pre-
venting the Spanish feet from secur.
ing coal here for an attack on AmeS-
lean coast cities.

harbor. The time is said to have been
about 4 q m.
The news of the engagement which
has reached here came via Madrid, and
reached that place from Manila. AS
the Spaniards at Manila had the con-
troll of the cable, an attempt was made
TO color the dispatches, but it is known
that the result of the battle was as
above set forth.
1t is reported hat the Spanish ship
Don Juan de Austria was blown up
and all on board were killed. 1t is
also stated that the Spanish ship Reina
Christina was completely wrecked and
her commander killed.
Admiral Dewey at once, upon arrival
in the harbor, opened fire on the Span
ish craft and forts, and it is said that
the S~paniards served their guns with
great precision.
The Spanish report says that five of
their ships were badly damaged and
the American feet was compelled to
retire.
Further advices of a Spanish nature
regarding the battle say that the Cas-
tilla was burned to the waters edge
and the Spanish vessels able to get
away sought refuge under the guns of
Cavite forts.
Several of the Spanish feet were
sunk to prevent them falling into the
hands of Admiral Dewey.
Further reports from Madrid admit
that Admiral Dewey landed his men
under a strong guard after the first en-
gagement was fought, preparatory to
making a combined land and naval at
tack on the forts.
It is admitted by the Spaniards that
the American ships are now anchored
together inside the bay, and that, al
though some ofthem are damaged, none
of them is disabled.
No details of the fight between the
American and Spanish fleets are ex-
pected to be received here for severa,
days which have not first passed
through the hands of the Spanish CEN
sors. The cable from Manila is, or was,
controlled by the Spaniards, and it is

SPANISH LOSSES HEAVY.
Dispatch from Manila to the Liberal at
Madrid.

Madrid.
MADRID, May IA dispath to the
Liberal from Manila says that the
American squadron arrived in sight OF
Subig bay at four o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon. A reconnaissance was made
of the bay, after which the vessels i'm
mediately left in the direction of Ma
Mia.
Several private kilograms now con-
firm the reports of a battle at Manila.
They all concur in stating hat the
Spanish losses were very heavy.
Commodore Dewey made his way in
to the bay with the Olympia, Raleigh
and two other vessels, despite the sub
marine defenses placed in the channels
to the right and left of Corregidor is-
land, where there was also a battery.
The Spanish squadron, though mark
edly inferior in guns and armament to
the American vessels, attacked the lat
ter with great gallantry, and, accord
ing to these kilograms, compelled them
to withdraw.
The governor of the Philippines has
~telegraphed that the Manila squadron
is in a good strategic position off Ca
vite. He added that the arming of the
volunteers continues and that the
Spaniards are ready to resist any at
tempt to land and to defend the integ-
rity of the country.

The first news of the battle received
