the Castillo, Spain has lost two of her best
second-rate cruisers. The Christina was a
single screw, barque-rigged ship, 20 feet
long, with a displacement of 5000 tons. She
had a total of twenty-one guns. ranging
from the six-inch breech-loading Hontoria
down to the small machine guns. and sew
eral torpedo tubes. She carried $40 men.
The cruiser Castillo was slightly larger
than the Reina Christina, having 1910 tons
displacement. She has fourteen large guns,
all breech-loading Krupps. and two torpedo
tubes. The Don Juan d. Austria, which
was blown up, was another good gunboat
craft type. She was 210 feet long, LISP tons
displacement, had nine guns and carried 173
men. Aside from the gripping of the Span
ism naval strength, the burning up and
blowing up of the ships specified, entails an
actual money loss running into the millions.
1T is expected that the japanese authori-
Ties will receive early official information of
the battle at Manila. They have a con-
sui there, and under the system developed
during the J~apan-China war all military
ana naval operations are communicated at
once to the admiralty office at Toxic and
thence made known to Japanese officials
throughout the world. Minister Hoshi has
not received official advices. 1t turns out
that while Japan has given notice she will
declare neutrality, a decree of neutrality is
not yet actually issued, so that Yokohama
and other advantageous ports of Japan con-
tinue to be open to the American fleet. This
is looked upon by the authorities here as an
evidence of the friendly disposition of ia
pan toward the United States. 1t leaves
both the ports of Japan and China still open
to our ships. When the japanese decree of
neutrality is issued there is strong hope,
based upon reliable information, that it will
contain what is known as a ''hospitable
coal clause" This would afford ample ia
cilities TO war ships to lay in necessary coal
supplies at Japanese ports to carry them to
the next home port. While the privilege
could be enjoyed by Spain as well as the
United States, yet the effect would be of
distinct advantage to the United States, as
it is in Asiatic waters that the United
States most needs hospitable ports for re-
coaling.

Celebrating Dewey,s victory.

The news of the United States naval vic
tory in Manila harbor by Rear Admiral
Dewey caused great excitement throughout
Indiana yesterday. In most places business
was practically suspended for a time while
the people gathered and discussed the joy
full tidings. The patriotic demonstrations be-
gan with the arrival of morning papers, re-
sulting in the ringing of bells and blowing
of whistles at Charlottesville and other cit
les. At Greencastle, Richmond, Shelbyville,
Columbus, Anderson, Muncie, Noblesville
and scores of other places the excitement
was particularly intense. People got out
their flags and jollified. AT Shelbyville last
night there was a torch-light procession,
fireworks and a general celebration that ex-
ceeded campaign times.

lament, at the hotels, which are filling up
with American tourists, at all the govern
ment offices and particularly at the Admir-
atty, the brilliant victory of the .Asiati
fleet of the United States over the Spanish
fleet at the battle of Manila was the one
subject talked of throughout the day. The
United States embassy was the center of
interest for all London. There was a con-
tinuous line of callers requesting Informal
ton, the majority being Americans. The
United States ambassador, Col. John Hay,
is overjoyed at this demonstration of the
prowess of the American navy, remarking
concerning Commodore Dewey, who is a
personal friend of the ambassador: 1T is
hard to imagine so quiet and amiable a
gentleman controlling a fierce naval battle.
1t is these quiet. gentlemanly Americans,
however, who may be depended on to sur
prise the world when the opportunity of
making history comes in the line of duty"

ly what he expected.
The hotel bulletins are surrounded with
enthusiastic Americans, many of them dis
playing miniature flags at their button
holes. Many British naval officers have ex-
pressed the warmest admiration for the
work of the American fleet. In fact, a pre-
ponderance of sentiment in the British navy
seems TO be with the Americans through
out, the officers giving many practical
proofs of their partially. international
courtesy, however. debarred the high Off
Gals from commenting on the result.

Michael Cantlon, an old resident of town
residing ON East Raspberry alley, was seri-
ously injured in the Kohinoor colliery late
yesterday afternoon. He is being cared for
at his home. Canton was employed in
cleaning roads and bitches. He was struck
by car and knocked against a rib. In fall
ing back his left leg fell on the road and one
OF the hind wheels passed over the thigh,
cutting and bruising it, but breaking no
bones, AT the same time Cantlon's body
was doubled up and he also now suffers from
pains in the back. 1t is remarkable that Mr..
Canton has worked in the Kohinoor colliery
ever since he came to this town, about 27
years ago, and this is the first accident he
has met with.
