TRuE PATRIOTISM.

Would it not be truly patriotic FOL
Congress when they find it necessary
10 declare war, to become leaders not
only in the declaration but In the ex'
ecution? Had it been thoroughly un'
derstood that the first regiment to
90 to the front would be made up OF
Congressman, the nation would then
have fully believed that when they
advocated war they were giving
evidence of their possession OF
genuine patriotic feeling. The PEG,
pie through out the country would
have rallied to them and they would
have led us to glorious victories
Some. however, are of the opinion
that they would have discussed the
subject very fully before acting and
that they would never be guilty Oh
plunging the country into a war
which the great mass ofpeople believe
unnecessary.

modore he believed he could take
ship nearer the enemy, with a lead
going to watch the depth of w'Dter.
The flagship started over the course
for the fifth time, running within
1000 yards of the Spanish vessels.
AT this range seven six-pounders
were effective, and the storm of shells
poured upon the unfortunate Spanish
began to show marked results.
Three of the enemy's vessels were
seen burning and their fire slack
ened.
JUST A STOP FOR BREAKFAST.
On finishing this run Commodore
Dewey decided to give the men
breakfast, as they had been at the
gums two hours, with only one cup OF
coffee to sustain them. Action ceas-
ed temporarily at twenty-five minutes
of eight o'clock, the other ships pass
ing the flagship and cheering Justify.
Our ships remained beyond range
of the enemy's guns until ten minute
of IL o'clock, when the signal for
close action again went up. The
Baltimore had the place of honor in
the lead, with the flagship following
and the other ships as before.
The Baltimore began firing at the
Spanish ships ana batteries at sixteen
minutes past IL o'clock, making a
series of hits as if at target practice.
The Spaniards replied slowly, and
the Commodore signalled the Raleigh
the Boston, the Concord and the
Petrol to 90 into the inner harbor
and destroy all the enemy's ships.
BY her light draught the little
Petrol was enabled to move within
1000 yards. Here firing swiftly but
accurately, she commanded every
thing still flying the Spanish flag.
Onher ships were also DOING their
whole duty, and soon not one red and
yellow ensign remained alOh, except
on battery up the coast. The Span
ish flagship and the Castillo had long
been burning fiercely, and the last
vessel to be abandoned was the Don
Antonio de Ulloa, which lurched over
and sank.

We know not what heroes, this

IfMr. Bryan wishes to keep his name
at the front, he had better reconsider
his determination to enlist as a prl-
vate. At the beginning Of war
there may be something romantic
about a prominent man going to war,
as private, but few engagements
kill all the romance. The old soldier
saw the difference, when lady was
praising Gen. Jackson for the bril-
liant victories he had won and was
abusing Jackson's men for the pigs
they had stolen.

were completely destroyed and the
city of Manila is at the mercy of our
feet. Admiral Dewey can take pos

course, will not take possession until
he has a force to take charge and

Manila, Philippine Islands, on

Not one Spanish flag flies in Manila
bay today. Not one Spanish war
ship floats except as our prize.
More than two hundred Spanish
dead and five hundred te seven hun
dred wounded attest to the accuracy
of the American fire.
Commodore Dewey attacked the
Spanish position at Cavite this morn
ing. He swept five times along the
line and scored one ofthe most bril-
liant successes in modern warfare.
That ourloss is trfing adds to the
pleasure of victory without detract-
ing from its value. The number Of
hits cur vessels received proved how
brave and stubborn was the defense
made by the Spanish forces.
Miraculous as it may appear, none
of our men was killed and only eight
were wounded. Those who were
wounded suffered only slight in
iuries.
