be lurking in the vicinity of the

Commander Dew ey's Orders.

Commander Dewey's feet sailed
from Hong Kong April 9th to at
tack the Spanish feet at Manila.
When Dewey was asked how long
it would take him to capture Manila,
be said:
II will take Manila in less than an hour
after the fighting begins. I have a fine
squadron with me here, good officers.
splendid seamen and accurate gunners
Besides, We have revolutionary agents
aboard who know the islands from begin
ming to end. NV best boats are the Bal
timore, Petrol, Boston and Olympia. The
Concord and Raleigh also are good vessels
and will do splendid work. The Span
iards have more ships than we have. bu,
we are superior In strength. Have no
fear about the, result. We will capture
Manila or lose every ship in the fleet ir
the attempt, ana l feel sure the former
contingency will fall to our lot
Commander Dewey's orders were
TO proceed at once TO the waters
contiguous to the Philippines, form
Il blockading squadron, and to sink
or capture every Spanish ship in
the Pacific if necessary to carry
out these commands.
The primary object was the cap
ture of the Spanish feet, which
Dewey says is more importer mt than
Manila. He il determined
to prevent its preying upon Aineri-
can vessels.

Idaho Applauds Dewey.

In response to . telegram from
the New York Journal asking Gov.
Steunenberg to send an expression
of appreciation on behalf of Idaho
on The heroism of Commodore
Dewey and crew at the bombarding
of Manila, the governor replied to
the Journal as follows:
Idaho recognizes the gallantry
displayed by Admiral Dewey and
the officers and men Of his feet in
the recent naval engagement at
Manila. The breast of every Ida.
hoan swells With pride and exulta-
ton at the bravery thers displayed
and confirms the former opinion

also the land forces Of the United
States to greater deeds of heruism,

The state department has learned
through its secret agents that the
wreck Of the battleship Maine lying
in the Havana harbor had been de.
stroyed by the Spanish authorities
It is supposed by officials of the
administration that this action on
the part of the Spanish authorities
had been taken to prevent the rails
ing of the wreck, after the capture
of Havana.
A cabinet member is authority
for the following statement to the
Journal:
I'VE shall make it part of our
first business after taking posses
sion of Havana, to find out who
were the perpetrators Of that crime
of the night of Feb. 18th.
"If we find that they have escaped
from the island and gone back to
Spain we will follow them there
and we will tell Spain that the war
shall not stop until they are deliv-
cred up to US for punishment"
