over 600 spaniards Killed or Injured
Not an American Lost His Life
and No ships Destroyed-DetaiIe
Account of the Most Wonderful
Battle in History.

Hong Kong, May 9.-Among naval
men, military men and civilians, Eu-
ropcans and natives here there is only
oae subject Of discussion, the brilliant,
dashing, dnnihiiatng victory OF the
American fleet under Commodore Dew
ey over the Spanish feet commanded by
Admiral Montejo il Manila bay on sun
day last.
I he position occupied by the Span
iards, the support which their ships re-
Ceiyed from the land batteries, and the
big guns they had ashore gave them an
enormous advantage. Therefore, when
it is considered that the Spaniards lost
over 600 men in killed and wounded,
that all OF their ships were destroyed.
and that their naval arsenal at Cavite
was also destroyed, with its defenses,
it. will become apparent that the victory
OF the American commodore is one Of
the most complete and wonderful
achievements i'll the history Of naval
warfare.
Not man on board the American
feet was killed. not an American ship
was damaged TO any extent. and only
six men were injured slightly on board
the Baltimore.
This grand achievement is quite as
much due to the generalship Of Commo-
dore Dewey as TO the fact that Amer
lean gunners, ships and guns are supe-
rior to anything in the same line atioat
anywhere. Credit must also be given
to the fullest extent to the officers I'M
der Commodore Dewey, for. TO a man,
they seconded their gallant commander
in every way possible. and thus helped
him win the laurela which are justly
