War.

The following, taken from the Parkers-
burg Sentinel, seems to US worthy Of u re-
production: "The great victory won by
Commodore Dewey over the Spaniar!s had
some features connected with it that makes
il the most desperate and dangerous naval
battle ever fought since the BEGINNING Of
the worlds history. Such a statement may
appear historically sacri!cgiouN to some, but
il il true nevertheless. lie was in an enc
my's country, five Thousand miles from
home, and every near port closed aSlinS:
him, strict neutrality declared bv all nat
ti..sss,- and coal, wiricir X rs NECESSARY a.
powder and guns To war vessel, denied
him. Notwithstanding, possessed of AN in
irepi,liiv aud daring unsurpassed in histb-
~ full of confidence i'm his own ability, and
trusting implicitly the fidelity, courage and
skill OF his subordinates, and with Il sublime
belief in the invincibility Of the American
blue jackets manning American vessels, lac
deliberately sailed into the bay OF Manila
and challenged the Spanish squadron, supe
nor in size and numbers. Either side of the
bay lined with almost impregmable for
trcSscs manned bv the most destructive of
modern guns, and the bottom of the haibor
protected by submarine eXpl iSives. When
the battle begun the forts ON both sides let
/ loose their demons Of destruction ut the
/ hardly more t.ian miniature war squadron
ofthc Americans. and the Spanish feet
boldly assniled it In front After two hours
desperate fighting the Spanish fleet annihi-
! lated, the forts were silcnccd, and twelve
hours later Old Glory located from the Off
cia flagstaff in the city of Manila, and
| Spanish dominion in the Philippine Isl; niS
was over forever, unless restored 10y treaty
hereafter Had Commodore Dewey merely
/ held his own in the first battle no American
of that squadron would ever again have seen

cape for the Americans except through the
complete and overwhelming defeat of the

victory, would have left the squadron in the
! Chinese sea without coal and unable To pro
cure any; without repairs or any port ut
which they c.uld be made, and wholly ut
the mercy of the Spanish feet IL Soon as it
recovered from the first attack. For dar-
inS, courage, skill and success this battle
stands without precedent IN naval history.

Madrid, Nov. 1.-THE Queen Regent
presided at the cabinet council. today.
Premier Sagasta read a letter from Senior
Montero Rios. president of the Spanish
peace commission, announcing that the
American peace commissioners had re-
fused to recognize the Cuban debt and
had exacted the Philippine Islands.
The cabinet council will meet again,
this evening, and decide upon a reply.
Admiral Camara's squadron has been
ordered to Cadiz at full speed, in view
of the approaching visit of Emperor Will
liam of Germany 20 that port.
The Spanish steamer Miguel Gallart,
which left Nuevitas, Cuba about Oct. "A,
has arrived at Barcelona with repatri-
ated Spanish troops on board. During
the voyage across the Atlantic 90 men
died and on arriving here 100 men were
seriously i'll, suffering from exhaustion
due to lack of food.
The Heraldo asserts that the Spanish
government has resolved to maintain
Spain's sovereignty in the Philippine
Islands," and adds that it has been sug-
gested that Emperor William of Ger
many, who is expected 10 visit Cadiz and
Madrid, shortly, on his way back to Ger

tween Spain and the United States in the
event of the peace commissions failing
to come to an agreement.
