BRIEF history OF THE WAR.
Leading engagements and Thrilling
Achievements Recounted.


1t is not within the province OF this mes
sage to narrate the history Of the ex-
traordinary war that followed the Spanish
declaration Of April q, but a brief recital
OF its more salient features is appropriate.
The nrst encounter Of the war in point of
date took place April o. when a detach-
ment Of the blockaoing squadron made a
shelled the harbor forts and demolished
several new works in construction.
Dewey's Victory.
The next engagement was destined to
mark m en- bic epoch in maritime war
fare. The Pacific fleet, under Comm odore
George Dewey, had lain for soma weeks at
Hong-Kong Upon the colonial proclama-
tion OF neutrality being issued and the
customary "a hours notice being given. It
repaired TO Mrs bay, near Hong-hong,
lands under telegraphic orders TO capture
or destroy thu formidable Spanish fleet then
assembled at Manila. At daybreak on the
LIST Of May tha American force entered Ma
Mia bay and after a few hours engage
ment effected the total destruction OF the
Spanish feet. consisting Of ten warships

at viii Not a life was lost on our ships,
not q vessel was materially injured For
this gallant achievement the congress, up
on my recomIn endation, htly bestowed up
on thesetors present permanent and sub
staptial reward.
The effect of this remarkable victory
upon the spirit OF our people and upon the
fortunes OF the war was instant. A pres
tige OF invincibility thereby attached to
our arms, which continued throughout the
struggle Resnforcements were hurried TO
Manila under the command Of Mai Gen.
Merritt. and frmly established within sight
OF The capital. which lay helpless before
our guns. On the seventh day of May the
government was advised officially of the
victory OF Manila, and az once inquired Of
the commander OF our feet what troops
would be required. The information was
received on the 18th OF May and the first
army expedition sailed May IS and ar
rived of Manila June 80 Other expeditions
soon followed the total force consisting

Governor Tanner Indicted.

A new phase Of the so-ealled labor
troubles has arisen in Illinois. Gov
ernor Tanner took the position that il
was not his business TO protect Tho
mine owners from the wrath Of the
strikers and urged upon the mine
owners the danger of shipping into the
state their carloads OF colored CON
tract laborers When disorder arose
the governor sent troops to preserve
order but not To champion either side
in particular though he let it be- known
that his sympathies were with the
white strikers. The grand jury Of
Macoupin county have returned an I'M
dietment against the governor eharg-
ing him with malfaesanoe in office and
palpabie omission Of duty
The governor deiies arrest and de.
clares he viii kick down stairs any Of
ticer who attempts to take him in Gus

grand jury to interfere with him in
The exercises Of his official duty as he
interprets it.
lie believes the indictment to be
the product Of democratic scheme to
injure him politically It is quite
generally conceded that the indict-
ment is legally void and that the gov
ernor will not have to submit to a
trial.

After a week of the most nrduous and

greatest anxiety the police force last night
in the words OF Major Howard. found
themselves practically where they

there is great danger that the cowardiy

II was thought that one Of the murderers

Tom Wren, who had been sent on 20
Washington to investigate, also made a

ACTION POSTPONED
In Regard TO the Awarding of the Con-
tract for Welsbach Lamps.

The Council Committee on Light held
called meeting Yesterday afternoon. for
the purpose OF awarding the contract for
the furnishing OF a certain number OF
Welsbach lamps I'm accordance with a
resolution passed by the city Council a
good deal OF discussion was INDUCED IN,
but the matter was finally postponed I'M
iii the next regular meeting.
The committee met at 1870 o'clock at
No. 1913 east Main street. with the FOL
lowing members present: Messrs. Wal
lerstein chairman, CARRIER o. A. Kawk-
ms. Hardwicke. Tanner, Vaughan ana
Seay. the successor of Alderman Starkc
from Clay Ward.
After the reading OF the resolution as
adopted by the city Council, Mr.. Tan
ner moved that the contract be awarded
for the sum OF 1890 10 the Welsbach
Lighting Company in compliance with
the resolutions.
Mr.. Hardwicke said that after duly
considering the matter he had come 10
the conclusion that he would have op-
pose the awarding Of the contract 10 the
Welsbach people. because ho feared that
such action would finally lead 10 lease
or sale OF the city Gas Works.
Mr.. Wallerstcin stated (Mr Noble In
the chain that the mere announcement
a contract had shown good results In In
ducing the electric light people 20 cut
down their bid $4,000 for the present year.
II this contract was awarded then 10 was
proposed 10 cut Off twenty OF the electric
are lights and substituting for each one
two Wclsbach lamps. The remainder Of
the Wolsbach lamps. OF which 800 were
10 be furnished In all. could be used in
supplying localities where now electric
lights are asked for and in replacing
good many OF the 33l ordinary gas lamps
now I'm use. lie admitted, however. that
the remaining gas lamps now In use,
about 2I7 would have 10 be- put out. mas
much as the money Appropriated for the
lamp lighting had, under the resolution
adopted By the Council been transferred
to the amount needed to pay for the
Welsbach lamps.
Mr.. Hardwicke said that he was op-
posed 10 any such action because there
was no fund for the lighting Of the re-
naming gas lamps. and he did not desire
60 see "a contract executed with foreign
company which would only agree 20 lease
f. lamps 10 the city.
Mr.. Tanner then modified his motion so
that,thc contract be awarded 10 the COM
pany provided that the latter was willing
10 keep clean and light the remaining
ordinary gas lamps. \ representative Of
the company who was present accepted
this condition.
After some further discussion. how.

contract until tho next meeting.
