Written for the Sunday Standard.
Washington, Dec. 6.-The important
announcement that was dismissed with
a few brief telegraphic lines the other
day to the effect that Admiral Dewey
proposed to raise three Of the sunken
Spanish vessels that lie at the bottom
of Manila bay, instead of allowing the
submerged hulks to be disposed of by
auction as at first intended, is worthy
of much more extended mention than it
received. 1t means that there is a
prospect. for Dewey would not propose
anything that he did not feel reason
ably sure OF being able to carry out, of
adding these ships to the United states
navy, and perhaps at some future time
using them to defend the very harDor
in which they are at present sunk.
For $5O0.000. say reports that have
been received here from Dewey. at least
three vessels of the sunken fleet can
be raised and put in good condition.

the court was coming on and as Mrs.
Bottom was the sole witness against
