eral joaquin Lanaga, one of his
intimate friends: -.
'My prognostics are unhappily
realized in the disastrous combat
of the first Of the month. The
25th Of April | betook myself
with the squadron to Subig,
where | hoped to establish a bat
terry and to place the torpedoes of
which Lcould dispose. Terrible
deception! l perceived that it
would require month and u half
to construct that battery, and
that, according to the opinion of
the captain of the De- Rio, we
could have only partial reliance
upon the torpedoes, some of
which were however, placed. The
29th, by a telegram intercepted
by our consul at Hong Kong, l
learned that the American squad
ron was sailing toward us with
the intention of destroying us and
then, presenting itse f before Ma
Mia. / had thus the conviction
that the enemy not only knew
our refuge, but also knew that
the fort of Subig had not single
defense from the land side. A
council of war met and unani.
mously, except for one voice
that of Del Rio, chief of the ar
senal-it decided that the squad
ron should go to Cavite TO defend
itself there with the aid of the
forts.
The 1st Of May, at 8 O'Clock
in the tfs-orning, we saw the
American squadron, formeN in
line at distance of three miles,
between Manila and Cavite.

tended all along the front of bat
tie, the enemy din ecting most of
his blows 'gainst my flagship.
The melinite projestiles having
set on fire the cruisers Cristina
Castillo, l transported myself
with my staff to the Cuba. What
more need l say!
'We beat n retreat on Bacoor,
where we continued the defense
until | gave the order to sink our
disabled ships. They disappeared
in the waves, with our glorious
flag nailed to their masts. The
enemy Immediately took posses,
sion of transport, without de
fense of the place, and the arsen.
al of Cavite, which surrcndered d
after having been evacuated by
our soldiers, bearing their arms.
Thus abandoned, Cavite was left
to the horrors of pillage by the
rebels in the presence of the
Americans, whose influence con
stituted approval.

structed and furnished with su-

Rev w f Little, who lives in
Lanes Creek township, had a fine
young horse killed last Friday
afternoon by two drunked men
running against it and driving a
buggy shaft into its side. From
what we can learn the deed seems
to have been wantonIy done, for
the horse was hitched near the
road and the mule the young men
were driving was reined out of
the road and driven rapidly
against the horse. Hard cider
was the cause of it all. Monroe
