SIDE LIGHTS AT MANILA.
Scenes and Anecdotes of Dcwey's
Great Battle.


Great Battle.
Joseph L. Stickney, the correspondent of
the New York Herald, who was on the
flagship Olympia at Manila during the
great fight, sends the following to his
paper:
The more recall the events of the battle
of Manila the more miraculous it seems
that no American lost his life. A shell that
entered the Boston's wardroom was going
straight for Paymaster Martin, when it
exploded within five feet of him, yet he
was not touched
Aboard the Olympia the surgeons oper-
ating room was the wardroom. Chaplain
Frazier. who was ready to assist the sur
seon, held his head out of one of the
six-pounder gun ports when a shell struck
the ships side, less than a yard away.
The chaplains head came in just in time
to escape being blown off, as the shell in
stantly burst.
Three fragments of one shell struck the
Olympia within a radius of fifteen feet
from Commodore Dewey.
The armor- piercing projectiles exploded
the box of three three FOUNDER ammuni-
ton aboard the Baltimore, and passed be-
tween two groups of men so close 10 both
that il is difficult to see how all escaped
death.
If the Spaniards had properly prepared
for our coming they would have killed
many, but they had not intended TO make
a fight at Cavtte.
Among other official papers captured IN
Admiral Montejos office was his acknowi-
edgement of a decision of council Of
officers to mass the Spanish guns and ships
al Subil< Bay where much better condi-
tons for defense existed. This was pre-,
vented only by Commodore DeweyS
prompt action. A few days would have
sufficed to move all the guns and ships TO
Subik Bay. where the narrow entrance,
shoal water and plunging fire from shore
would have made victory very difficult for
us.
Early on the morning of Monday Com
mander Lamberton and myself were or
dered 10 go to the Cavite arsertal and take
possession. The Petrol took us within 500
yards. when we were surprised TO see the
