The rep Of Major General Miles,
commanding the United States army,
was made public on the 10th inst. by
the direction Of the secretary of war.
While a brief allusion ia made to such
matters as the military expeditions to
Alaska, interest naturally centers in
that portion which treats of the war
with Spain. Under this genera head
the report deals with the plans Of
campaign, Of war preparations, with
the Santiago campaign, with General
Miles operations on Porto Roo, and
lastly with important changes in the
existing organizations which are in
General Niles opinion necessary to
make the army an effective weapon
for the defense of the country.
There is an entire absence of any
evidence in direct criticism, though
certain sentences in the report are
italicized in an apparent desire to JUS
tify previously expressed plans Of de.
tails of campaigns, and where it deals
with events the document is largely
made up of quotations from official
dispatches.

tioning itself opposite the city. A fort
opened fire on the American ships,
whereupon they shifted their position 10
one near Cavita. in Manila bay, engag-
ing in fierce fight against both the forts
and Spanish fleet. The engagement
lasted two hours. and resulted in the
humiliation of the Spanish feet. This
dispatch adds that the American ships
withdrew to their magazine vessel. in
the centre of the roadstead. for the pur-
pose of coaling. One American vessel
whose name is not mentioned, is said to
have been disabled.
Commodore Dewey requested the
British consul, Mr.. E. II. Rawson-
Walker, to convey the message to the
Spanish governor general. demanding
the surrender of all the torpedoes and
guns at Manila and the possession of the
cable offices, saying that unless these
terms were complied with he would pro-
coed to lombard the city. The first cable
message ends with the statement that
the Spanish officials were comforting
with the British consul and the tele-
graph companies agent, and that. pend
ing a decision being arrived at, the
cables were not permitted to handle
messages.
The second cable dispatch received by
the colonial office announced that the
Spanish governor general had refused
to surrender the torpedoes. guns and
cable offices, and that he had prevented
the agent of the telegraph company from
comforting with Commodore Dewey.
The message added with the statement
that the British governor of the Straits
settlements expected that the lombard
ment of Manila would be begun on Mon
day morning, when the Spaniards would
cut the cable.
The first of these cable messages was
received at o'clock yesterday evening.
and the second one was received at mid
night. They have not yet been given to
the newspapers here.
No other messages on the subject have
been received in London. although the
foreign office expected news from the
British consul at Manila. Therefore 1t
is supposed that the expectation of the
governor of the Straits settlements has
been fulfilled. and that the Spaniards
have cut the cable.

EFFECT OF VICTORY.
Demonstrated That the Spanish Cannot
Cope With Our Men.

Washington, May 2.-There is no doubt
that the result of the first naval battle
of the war will have an important bear
ing upon the future conduct OF the strug-
gle. 1t has demonstrated to the ad-
ministration that the way to fight is to
fight. 1t has shown that Spain can
not cope with the United States, and
that the war can be brought to a quick
conclusion by simply forcing matters.
The Spanish fleet at the Philippines
was larger numerically than that of the
United States, but the latter was better
in armament and more modern in con-
struction, beside which the efficiency of
our men was evidently vastly superior
to the Spaniards.
The enthusiasm with which the news
of the victory has been received has also
had it's effect, and has shows that pop
ular sentiment will approve vigorous
campaign. This being the case 1t is said
tempt to drive Spain out of Cuba will
now be pressed in an emphatic manner
1t will not be surprising If before the
week is ended there will be witnessed
the bombardment of Havana without
regard to the possible approach of the
Spanish feet across the Atlantic This
action was being seriously dis
cussed last night, and the naval strategic
board win undoubtedly give considera-
ton to it.
The victory Tnay also have the effect
of an adherence to the original plan of
speedily sending the 5000 regular troops
into Cuba, plan which was temporarily
abandoned pending the uncertainty as
to the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet
All of these matters viii be more fully
considered today. when the officers have
an opportunity to carefully review the
whole situation.

impossible to say exactly what has hap
pened in Manila bay. but enough is
known to indicate the probable sequence
OF events. The Spanish fleet seems to
have been wiped out OF existence. The
vessels which have not been sunk or
burned have either been captured or
sought shelter close under the Krupp
guns of the Manila batteries, where
they will be taken later. From all ac-
counts. II appears that two battles were
fought. the first near the mouth of the
bay and the second inside. 1t is probable
that Commodore Dewey attacked the
Spanish fleet in column formation and
that they prepared to meet him in line OF
battle. BY this maneuver he was en-
abled to cut the enemy's line at fits CEN
ter, and then turn all his attention TO
one of the wings.
That our ships have been damaged to
a greater or less degree there is liSue
doubt. for from the nature of the en-
gagement as reported II must have been
fought at close range. The American
vessels are not armored and their sides
could be easily pierced by the smallest
guns. This fact If also borne out in the
dispatches which state that the Ameri-
can vessels landed their wounded before
beginning the second encounter Naval
officers hardly believe that Commodore
Dewey put his injured men ashore, and
II they were removed from the vessels
at all they were probably placed aboard
one or the other OF the merchant ves-
sells which accompanied the feet as

Is likely that the forts also received some

by Thursday or Friday, to make juno

the extreme eastern wing of the Cuban
army. All the arrangements are GER
tainly based upon that line of purpose.

at any time before the sailing took place

Philippines has produced greatly in
creased enthusiasm, especially in view
OF the fact that the American squadron
was obliged to retreat. Notwithstand-
ing. the severe damage the Spanish ships
sustained, naval officers here consider
that further operations by the American

difficulty owing to their having no base
where they could repair and recoal. or

In the dispatches from Madrid. the
statement was made that Admiral Dewey
effected a landing on the west side OF
Manila bay for the men OF his fleet who
were wounded in the engagements. 1t
was suggested in official circles that this
landing had two-fold purpose. 1t was
not only that the wounded might have
better care than they could receive on
shipboard in the face of other proba BILE
engagements, but also to carry out what
was known to be Admiral Dewey's pur-
pose-to effect junction with the in
surgents as soon as possible. The in
surgent forces probably surround Ma~ila
on the land sides of the city and. with the
intention of securing control of Manila
as soon as possible, the admiral was to
obtain footing on the island at the
earliest possible moment. AS soon as the
junction of the American and insurgent
forces, the one on sea and the other on
land. is effected. demand is likely to be
made for the surrender of the city, and in
the event of refusal. a combined attack
would he made upon it.
Nonews of definite character is given
concerning the loss sustained by Ad-
miral Dewey squadron, and IL is scarce
ly likely, in the opinion of the experts of
the navy, that authentic information
will be received until he has an oppor-
tunity to communicate officially with
the department. 1t is regarded as prob
able that Immediately after the engage
ments Admiral Dewey sent the revenue
cutter back to Hong Kong with dis
patches, and that the first information
from him will come from that point
The distance from Manila to Hong Kong
is trifie over 600 miles. and it viii take
the McCulloch about two days to make
the trip.

London, May "A dispatch to The
Daily Mail, received from Madrid this
morning says: The Americans are now
moving on Manila but there has been
no equalization yet. General Augusta

The Spanish ministers admit that the
battle ended in the utter rout of the
Spanish fleet, but they are resolved not
to spare any efforts in the defense of the
couatry.
The Spanish warships Renia Maria
Christina and Castillo have been totally
burned. One vessel was purposely sunk
and the rest were damaged. The Amer

The Spanish cabinet, according to a
special dispatch from Madrid to The
Evening News. sat for four hours dis
cussing the Manila disaster The dis
cusslon. it is added, showed the Spanish
ministers are now fully aroused and
determined to exhaust their resources in
defense of the national honor.
After the cabinet council, the Madrid
dispatch to The Evening News con-
tinues. General Correa. the minister for
war, and Admiral Bermejo. the minister
of marine. made a report to the queen
regent. The latter who had already
heard OF the reverse, was aflane with
patriotic enthusiasm" and declared
that, though the loss of so many ships
was a misfortune, there was "satisfac-
tim in the reflection that the Spaniards
had covered themselves with honor"
