decisive victory OF the American feet at Manila.
II was said by high diplomatic official to-day
that another such defeat would end the cause
OF Spain, and would force hcr 10 seek an arms
tice and peace. The universal BELIEF IN diplo-
matte quarters is that this stroke in the Philip
pines will be followed Immediately by agGres-
sive action In Cuba. Aside from the immediate
effects OF the Manila engagement. foreign rep
resentatives here say It is likely 70 precipitate
an internal CONFUSION in Spain. This has been
apprehended by the European Powers. and has
been the chief cause Of their activity a. it
threatens to bring the war 20 the continent o.
Europe.
From the fact reported from Madrid that
Commodore Dewey had opened communication
with the British Consul at Manila. 1t is expected
that the first reports. other than those Of a
SPANISH character. will come from British
sources 1t is understood that the British Con-
sui at Manila. MI RawsOr- Walker. has assumed
charge Of American interests In the Philippines.
and under such circumstances he is at present
charged with the important duty OF protecting
the lives Of the Americans on shore NJ Manila
and elsewhere. II is believed that Commodore
Dewey will give his first attention to looking
after these Americans ashore. The cable from
Manila I: Is learned. is a British ard not a
Spanish cable ard II is believed that British
operators have charge Of the cable station.
While they would he subject to Spanish censor

OF The Standard" says;
Considerable surprise and disappointment
have been caused by the destruction done ~

stated that the authorities at Manila had re-
celved sixty torpedoes and heavy guns to
strengthen the coast defences. particularly the
defences commanding the two channels on the
right and left OF Correg!dor Island

Il is expected that within few months
he city of Buffalo will be lighted by
electricity generated by machines operat-
ed by Niagara power. In order 10 ac-
compiish this result and to reduce the cost
of illumination. the Buffalo General Flee
trio Company will build new station and
install therein an entire new plant cast
ing aside all their present machines. The
current for the opera ton OF the station
will be supplied by the Cataract Payer
and Conduit Company, and eleven static
transformers TO be installed will mark the
end of one plant and the beginning of the
other. These transformers will have a
little over 300 horsepower each, The elev-
en- bringing the total capacity TO near
1000 horsepower. They will receive the
Niagara current at voltage of about
11Gc0 and transform IL to a current of
heavy amperage, but of only 352 volts.
They Will be fed by two independent
cables in order that the service of the
station may not be impaired by any acct
dent to either Of the three phase systems
between the falls and Buffalo. Each cable
Will be capable of carrying the entire pow
er of the station. The S52-voit current
from the entire lower side of the trans
formers will be carried into the light sta
ton on copper bus bars about one inch
thick and six inches wide. and from these
bars the current will be distributed to the
various machines.
From the Buffalo station electricity is
supplied for three uses namely high-ten-
sion direct currents for street lighting,
low-tension direct currents for small pow
ers and motors. and high-tension alter
mating for inside arc lighting and various
uses. The new installation will consist of
twelve 2J0-light units arranged on an ef-
fleient and economical plan The current
from the bus bars will be used to operate
or drive motors of 200 horsepower, which
will stand between two 125-ight machines.
The ends of the motors armature will be
connected TO the armatures of the two
generators and the direct current from
the unit will supply $50 arc lamps Of 10
amperes each The low-tension current
for small powers will be obtaiued from
the two rotary transformers of 300 horse
power each. The direct current from
these machines will be Of $50 amperes.
