WILL MANILA END THE WARP

At this moment it is not possible to
calculate with any certainty what ef-
feet the loss Of its Pacific stronghold
will have upon the policy Of the Ma
drid government; whether it will
crush the hopes Of the Spanish people
and lead them to sue for peace which
destroys forever their already weak
ened hold upon their West Indian pos
sessions, or whether, exasperated by
defeat, they will put forth new and
desperate efforts to retrieve In Cuba
their disasters in the PHILIPPINES. 1t
would be the part Of wisdom to aban-
don forthwith a hopeless contest, but
a brave and spirited people, as are the
Spaniards, whose intense pride Of race
and love OF country are unQuestion-
able, are not apt to lower their flag at
a single reverse. United at home they
could and would fight stubbornly and
thus prolong the war indefinitely
Fortunately for us, they are divided
into little factions which are more
likely to make war upon each Other
than upon the common foe. BE this
as it may, no n a doubt the issue
of the contest. SPANS dominion in
the Western Hemisphere will ere
many days be a thing of the past, ano
Cuba, for good or evil, will lie free t
work out its own destiny.

BATTLE OF MANILA.
Americans Victorious.

LONDON, May2.-The first cable dis
patch announces that the United
States feet, commanded by Commo-
dore Dewey, entered the Manila har-
Dor at daybreak yesterday, s%tationlng
itself opposite the city. A fort opened
fire on the American ships, whcreupon
they shifted their position to one near
Cavite, 10 Manila bay, engaging In a
fierce fight against both the forts aud
the Spanish feet. b
The engagement here lasted two
hours, resulting Ia the humiliation OF
the Spanish fleet.

MANILA!

No victory on sea or land was ever
more grateful to the American people
than the signal though not unexpected
triumph Of our Pacific squadron over
the Spanish fleet 10 the Bay of Man
lila; a triumph, which, leading to the
subsequent capture OF the large and
important city Of Manila, with all its
naval and military stores. pats an end
to the contest so far, at least, as the
waters of the Pacific are concerned,
for it Is most unlikely that Spain,
with little or no powers Of recuper-
alton, will n axe any effort to dislodge
the brave Commodore Dewey from his
present position. The incidents and
results of the naval battle are now
too familiar to our readers to require
any extended report: suffice II to say
that the victory was complete, the
entire Spanish fleet under the gallant,
though unfortunate, Admiral Mon
tejo, who, with his sailors, displayed
admirable courage, being annihilated
after a brilliant action Of less than
three hours duration. While no one
doubted the ability of vi naval Off
GERS or the proves Of the stout arms
and st0uter hearts that manned 0uI
ships, our most sanguinc expectations
have been more than realized in the
comparatively trifing loss which oul
fleet sustained. This is, indeed, q
matter OF deep qualification, and but
enhances the feeling Of national ex'
ultation which must swell the heart
OF every loyal American. The name
Of Dewey, now on every lip, will I'll q
bright and glorious page in our coun
try's history. A grateful people will
not only enshrine him In their Owr
hearts, but see to II that his name
and achievements are perpetuated il
song and story and handed down tt
future generations as n whose IN
daunted spirit upheld the national
honor and won for himself the un'
stinted, well deserved and grateful
praise OF his fellow-cOuntrymen.
