anxiety 10 felt in official circles - to

made by the spaniards it il feared that
before they burned, blew up OF sunk
their ships they managed to inflict
severe damage upon Commodore Dew.

gagged were vulnerable in one respect,
namely, in their lack Of protection to
life. There was not IN armored ship

pia. In all cases, with the exception Of
some slight protection in the shape Of
gun shields, the personnel Of the ships
was exposed to tho fire Of. tho enemy.
II Commodore Dewey has lost con.
siderable portion Of his men it il feared
he will be much embarrassed in the
work Of maintaining possession OF Ma
Mia for lack Of sufficient force. 1t may
be, and in fact it is expected, that by
combination with the insurgents he
will succeed in having his men relieved
Of tho task Of garrisoning Manila.
