Wheat one dollar and one cent to-day.
We invite correspondents to give us
reasons for the sudden raise as the pros
poets tor good crop throughout the
country was never better. The war up
to date conld not bring it about; it must
be that it has got beyond the control OF
the brokers, spectators and gamolers
and taking its own gait where it should
have been these many years.-New Era.
Whew! why, Brother Deacon, didn't
the New Era say, argue, explain, eluci-
date and diagram all the six months
previous to election that the price of
wheat was governed entirely by the price
OF silver; that they had paralleled each
other for several thousand years and that
when silver was up wheat was up and
when silver went down wheat went
down, and that the only salvation 70,

have dollar wheat?

SOME WAR OBSERVATIONS.

If year ago any one had prophesied
that the United States would be at war
with an European nation, he would have
been hooted from one end of this coun-
try to the other. And yet to-day we are
at war, and it is quite possible that we
may find ourselves at war with other ma
tions besides Spain though we do not
think it probable. That is, we find our
selves, almost surprised to discover the
United States is part and parcel of the
world, and that notwithstanding our COM
paratively isolated position, we have
neighbors. We are learning the lesson
that no matter how much we love peace,
yet we cannot always avoid trouble.
We have also to observe that we may
consider ourselves fortunate that our
trouble occurred with so weak power.
Any of the first class powers could have
caused us large losses by this time.
On the other hand, foreign nations
may observe that while Uncle Sam had
kept himself in an almost studied afore.
thought state of unpreparedness, yet our
resources are so great that sixty days
will get us into considerable of fight
ing trim.
1t is to be observed that after all, econ
omical, as we'll as strategical reasons
show that the time of peace is the time
to prepare for war.
Some foreign nations seem to think
that our foreign born and other citizens
of foreign descent are still foreigners.
The change of German, a Frenchman,
an Eng'ishman, or other foreigners into
loyal Americans is to them inexplicable.
1t would be inexplicable, it would be inn
possible in the case of any other nation
ality. The key to the change lies in the
fact that in Europe the 'government" is
in some special man or wom-
an. In America, the government to
which allegiance is sworn, is the party
himself who swears. That is, he is an
equal component part of the government
he sWears to support. To no individual,
king, or potentate whatever, but to mu-
tually support and be supported by all
citizens Of this great republic. That is
why it is SO easy to becomes loyal Amer
lean, and if the loyalty is doubted, watch
their precision and certainty of aim when
the time comes for shooting.
While this war is costly in cash, and
may be in blood, yet it may be partially
repaid by the increased respect Of Eu-
rope for our patriotism, our resources
and our power. This country is not

the American guns were being used with
telling effect.
AS the smoke lifted it was seen that
the flagship Reina Christina was on fire.
The vessel was completely burned. In
the interval between the two engage
ments, Commodore Montejo moved his
flag from the Reina Christina to the small
ler cruiser Isle de Cuba. To the fact
that he made this change he doubtless
owes his life.
The cruiser Castillo next to the flag
ship the largest and most powerful of the
Spanish fleet, was also burned. The
cruiser Don Antonio de Ulloa and the
Mindanao were also badly damaged in
this encounter.
That the American squadron received
severe damage in the engagement can
not be doubted, but just to what extent
cannot be known at present.
There were undoubtedly heavy losses
in men on both sides. One apparently
trustworthy report states that the Span
ish had 200 killed and 400 wounded.
Trustworthy details of the American
loss of life will hardly be obtainable until
Commodore Dewey has taken Manila or
has sent a vessel to Hong Kong with
dispatches.
After the battle by the ships the cable
was cut and no news has been received.
1t is supposed that Commodore Dewey
either took or attempted to capture the
city. Much anxiety is felt. Manila is a
city of about 25O,oo0 Commodore
Dewey's full complement ofmen is about
1,75O.

Advices from Spain show that revolu-

very angry at the authorities and chag-

that the Spanish may themselves end the
war by a revolution.

A Great Victory.

The greatest naval battle sof the cen
tury was fought in Manila Bay, Philip
pine Islands, about 700 miles from Hong
Kong on Sunday. Commodore Dewey

boats and collier. The SpanishA1ad a
much larger number of vessels butt not

from Spanish sources as they conttol
the cable.
Commodore Dewey's squadron, leav-
ing Subig bay, few miles from Manila,
about O'Clock Saturday afternoon, pro-
ceeded toward Manila. Under the cover
of darkness he entered the harbor of
Manila, the batteries located there an
nouncing his arrival.
Both fleets lined up for battle about
daybreak-5 o'clock. The guns of the
American warships began firing on the
fortress of Cavit= and the arsenal of Man.
lila. Under the protection of the guns of
these Notifications the Spanish warships
opened fire on the American fleet. For
several hours the harbor resounded with
the roar of guns, the crashing of steel
and timbers. the shrieks and groans of
the wounded. Thick clouds of smoke
at times almost obscured the opposing
fleets from each other.
A well directed shot reached the iron
cruiser Don Juan de Austria, vessel of
LOO tons. A terrific explosion followed
and the ship was blown up.
All the time during the first engage
ment the American ships were under
way, their manoeuvering being intended
to render the craftsmanship of the Span
ish gunners less effective.
The American squadron about nine
o'clock drew off to the west side of the
bay and took refuge behind some foreign
shipping. The ships had evidently suf-
fered considerable damage. After some
hasty repairs they returned to the con-
flict.
During this engagement the guns Of
the Cavite maintained steadier and
stronger fire upon Commodore Dewey's
ships thansin the first engagement, but.
