Great Falls. May at Is learned this
morning that all the members of the Lew
istown company of infantry have taken a
medical examination and very nearly the
entire company will start overland for
this city on Wednesday morning. They
will be transported by horse and I'm wag-
ons drawn by four and six-horse teams
from Lewistown to Arlington. and a the
latter place take the train for Great Falls.
The company is made up of some of the
best young men In Lewistown. and its
departure will cause many a vacancy in
business circles while II will vacate three
OF the county offices-the attorneys
clerks and the assessors. In the latter
case the offices will have to be declared
vacant under the statutory provision va
eating Offices at the expiration of 60 days
absence from the state. The board of
county commissioners. however, has
stated that II will reappoint the men va
eating the on'ces upon their return.
Clerks and others occupying positions
with mercantile firms have in the major
ity Of cases received the promise of their
employers that they will hold the posi-
tons open for them until their return.
Tho company will probably reach this city

Additional Descriptions of the
Great Naval Battle.
1T WAS MAGNIFICENT


New York. May S.-Tbe Herald to-
day publishes the following dispatch
from Manila, dated Monday. $50 a. m:
Commodore Dewey's squadron COM
pletely destroyed the Spanish feet in
Manila harbor early yesterday MORN
ing. Three of Admiral Monteto's ships
were burned. one was sunk and the
rest OF the Spanish warships rendered
hors de combat by the American guns.
Our feet entered Manila bay yesterday
morning at S o'clock. and. ancboring
before Cavite. the ships took UP their
positions i'm ine of battle. The forts
on shore at once opened fire on our
ships at long range. and the Spanish
feet, anchored of Cavite, Immediately
followed with their heavy guns.
Commodore Dewey's flagship, n
Olympia, then signaled the rest OF the
American feet to draw closer to shore,
and Door afterward our ships opened a
terrific c~annonade. After half an
!. hours hot fghting. Dewey's ships
moved out of range OF the lighter
spanish guns and continued the bonn
bardment with h big guns with ter
rife effect. Twenty minut later the
Olympia again signaled the other
American ships to draw N close
quarters and a rapid and incessant
cannonading began. This terrific bonn
bardment soon ended the fight.
One after the other the Spanish YES
sells were silenced and three of them
caught fire. including Admiral Mon
tejo's flagship. the Reina Maria Chris
tina, from an explosion caused by a
shell from one Of our vessels. The ad-
miral at once transferred his flag to
the Isle de Cuba One Spanish vessel
was sunk and several were run ashore
to escape capture.
Commodore Dewey's attention was
now drawn to the land batteries.
which he sIlenced after an energetic
bombardment. The battle lasted an
hour and a half and IL was a great and
terrific spectacle. The Spaniards
fought bravely against a superior force
: and suffered heavy losses. Four hun
dred Spaniards are reported killed, in
GLIDING two commanders. Their losses
by fire are also probably very great.
The Spaniards would not give in. and
when the American fleet returned ia
Cavite some shots were still fired from
the forts on shore. but our ships poured
in such a terrible c~annonade that fur
ther resistance was impossible. The
American ships were practically unin-
tured.
Commodore Dewey's attack was well
carried out. The maneuvers of his
squadron were a beautiful sight, and
the navigation OF the bay by our ships
was a remarkable feat OF seamanship
avoiding as they did successfully tn,
numerous shadows.
All is now over at Cavite. Commo'
dore Dewey awaits the decision OF tn,
governor general of the Philippines
before commencing the bombardment
of Manila. Unless a favorable reply
is received from the governor general
TO the United States terms. the bonn
bardment will tomorrow al
half past II o'clock.

Coal for Dewey.

New York, May "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: Sec
rotary Long has taken immediate
measures to relieve the United states
fleet i'm the Pacific of any embarrass-
ment IL might feel for want of coal Or
ders have been telegraphed To the gov
eminent authorities at a Francisco
to select two of the swiftest ships at
that port. LOAF them with coal and dis
patch them at once TO the relief of
Commodore Dewey's squadron. As
China and Japan delayed max
ing declarations of neutrality. some
experts In international law hold that
the United States may still obtain coal
in Eastern ports. Commodore Dewey's
achievement, however, has caused the
administration TO feel that the govern
ment should not hesitate to send him
supplies at once. without waiting to
speculate on what Eastern ports may
be open TO him.

things in British dispatches are not easy
TO comprehend. They say that the
Americans landed their wounded. but
Dewey would never do that unless he
had taken a base OF operations on shore,
and doubtless we shall hear later that
he has done so. But unless he gets as
sistance from the insurgents ne may
find IL difficult to maintain himself. He
has. under the circumstances. been un-
able to bring soldiers 10 make the power
of the fleet effective. But. nevertheless,
he achieved a brilliant piece OF work.
and which. the more we hear OF H. the
more admirable IL is likely to appear.
political consequences are likely to
ensue from the United States capture Oh
the Philippines. which has caused I'M
mense interest here. Germany has long
had covetous eyes upon these rich lands,
while British interests have been a bar
TO any deal between Spain and Ger
many In relation to them. Japan also
is known to eagerly desire these posses
sions. Dewey's victory has udden
placed the United Ctates in an import
ant position in connection with n far
eastern question.
European interests In Cuba are re-
mote. almost academic, but the Philip
pines is an entirely different matter. Ii
is believed that the United States can
use the possessions of the Philippines as
a powerful lever to force Spain to q
don Cuba through the pressure OF Euro
pean powers who do not want a Spanish
colonial disruption in the far East TO
take place until the Chinese question Is
settled"

The suggestion was thrown out that

some out-of-the-way island In the
West Indies. where IL will replenish the

vana. But the belief of Spanish fore
sight is so entirely di~ssipated that 1t
is doubtful IL the Spanish have taken
