RPOOELYN RAPID TRANSIT.

G. T. Rossl.er president OF the Brooklyn
RAPID Transit Company. has made an official
statement regarding the condition OF the COM
pany's finances in which he says:
Confusion sometimes arises in the minds Of
persons looking at the reports Of the constituent
companies comprising the rapid transit system
because OF ignorance Of the relations between
the various companies. The Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company is not railroad company. but
n business CORPORATION owning the stocks and
securities OF street railroad companies. 1t is. Of
course primarily dependent upon these operat-
ing railroad companies for its revenue, but not
wholly so For Instance. IT owns the construc-
ton account Of the Br ooklyn Heights Company
against the Brooklyn city Railroad Company,
na>,obla ot the termination OF the lease and
amounting on June 80 last 10 S4.l2o.'oi. Inter
oct an this account to the amount or Sl'',oZz
was paid by the Heights company 10 the Rapid
Transit company during the fiscal year ana APP
peared in the Heights companys fxed charges'
In addition TO this revenue. the RAPID TRANSIT
COMPANY received $l12,6Si in interest on securi-
tics owned by It. Therefore, without consider-
ing the net profits Of the operating companies Ut
all II had as a credit TO its own interest charges

Transit bonds were only *olO,'oo, leaVins
500 4l3 TO be required for this purpose from the
net profits of the operating companies AS a
matter Of fact. the operating companies made
net profits OF $lS60W, part OF which was
charged off on account OF old damage claims
accruing in previous years. another part or
which was turned over to the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company, and the remainder OF which
was retained by the operating companies. The
surplus to the credit OF the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company's income account for that year
was something over $4,000.
These figures were based mostly upon opera
ton prior the crossing Of the Bridge and prior

THE VICTORY AT MANILA.

The official dispatches of Commodore
Dewey show that the language of the
British consul, who telegraphed his
government that the Spanish fleet at
Manila was 'annihilated' was well
chosen. That one word sums up more
forcibly the result than any number of
eloquent phrases could. But the most
remarkable thing about the victory is
that it was accomplished without the
loss of a single American sailor, or the
destruction, or even ser ieus injury. of a
single American ship. 1t is doubtful if
the annals of naval warfare contain an
instance of so serious fighting, with
casualties and damage all on one side.
The story Of the battle makes it clear
that Commodore Dewey took great risks.
He sailed into bay at dead of night,
which there was reason to believe was
mined and commanded by Spanish land
batteries on either side. and where fleet
was lying almost as effective In gun
power as his own. Doubtless the com
modore counted much upon lack OF vigi-
lance on tae part Of Che SpaEiards to aid
The Portland daily press., 1898-05-09

him and in this he made no mistake.
Though the { yaniards knew he was COM
ing they neglected to take the most ordi-
nary preca ntions. A search light at Ca
vito would have revealed his approach
long before he got there, and the garrison
and the ships might have been prepared
and on their guard When they did dis
cover the approach of the American feet
it was close on TO them, and it poured
into their ships and their land batteries
fire SO sudden and terrific that skill
at shooting was completely knocked out
Of them. They fired away, but they
shot at random. In no other way can the
immunity of Dewey's ships be explained.
In any event Dewey would doubtless
have conquered them, but If the Spanish
gunners had not been completely unnerved
by thesuddenness and fury of his onslaught
they would certainly have inflicted more
damage upon his ships. No doubt their
want Of practice with their guns contri-
buted to the non effectiveness of their
fire, but we must look largely for an ex-
PLANTATION of it's inefficiency to the con-
fusion into which commanders and men
were thrown by the suddenness of Dewey S
descent upon them.
The stories of the bonn bardment of Ma
Mia and the great loss of life ensuing,
which we have been getting day by day
for the last week, are all shown to have
teen untrue by the official dispatches.
Manila was at the Commodore's mercy,
but he obeyed the dictates of humani
ty and ref aimed from the wanton de-
straction of property, and Manila is safe
from BON bardment, SO long as it does
not fire upon his ships. To all intents
and purposes, he is in possession OF it,
and when the troops arrive which are to
be sent to him he will undoubtedly be
able to turr it over to them for occupa-
ton without much trouble. Dewey has
shown himself TO possess all the elem snts
that go to make up great commander.
He was bold and fearless, and he deliv-
cred his blows against the enemy with a
promptness and energy that were mag
niticent But he fired not shot nor de-
struyed q dollars worth of property in
mere wantonness His courage was
tempered with discretion.
