AT MANZANILLo.
A Victory With = Clean-Cut Record
of Six Spanish Ships Destroyed.

Compared with the great sea battles at
mander Todd's flotilla in the harbor of
Manzanillo must be reckoned among our
minor triumphs; yet earlier in the war it
would have thrilled the country, while
its clean-cut record of six Spanish ves-
se.s destroyed and two others driven
ashore by a force of seven vessels on our
side. and without our suffering a single
casualty. stamps it as of the brand Of
victories that made Dewey famous
Il is worth nothing that the first news
of the battle came from Havana. and in
dicated a defeat of the Spanards as ov-
erwhelming as Commander Todd now re-
cords in his final report. Manzanillo
is the first port of consequence west of
Santiago. from which it is distant about
eighty-five miles. Our blockading forces
there consisted of the ligh.-draft gum
boats Wilmington and Helena. and the
auxiliary vessels Scorpion. Hist. Hornet.
Wampatuck and Osceola. The gunboats

Of very heavy calibers.
On the morning of July is Commander
Todd's forces entered Manzanillo harbor.
When they arrived within range of the
shipping they opened fire. Several SPAN
ish gunboats promptly appeared to defend
the harbor. but after a deliberate fire on
our part lasting two hours and a half,
three of those gunboats were DESTROYED
by shells. together with the transports La
Gloria. 1.250 tons; Jose Garcia, LIS. and
La Purisima Conception. 962 which had
belonged to the Menendez steamship line.
In addition Commander Todd mentions
the blowing up and destruction of the
pontoon, which was the harbor guard.
tion,' and a gunboat that was driven
ashore and disabled.
An expedition which made such havoc
among the enemy. without loss to our
selves. certainly deserves 4 page of its
own In naval annals. The purpose of Ad-
miral Sampson. who ordered the expedi-
tion, was not to have the shore batteries
engaged. but to smash the Spanish
shipping which was most effectively
done. There is something suggestive,
however, in this attack on a port not far
from Santiago. and, regarded merely as
a reconnaissance. 1t indicates that Man.
zanillo is ours II we chooes to take the
trouble to occupy 1t. But however that
may be- on the score Of results achieved.

Ae.iaaldo's Case.

There is no occasion to waste SYM

Philippines. He is not patriot in any
sense. but q mercenary and self-seeking
demagogue. who is regarded as no bet

Manila. including those who would
gladly welcome change from Spanish

similar cases.

torney a fee.
He afiirms the action OF the bureau In
the claim OF James A. Young. Of Com

cided that appellant, in the adjudica-
tion Of his claim for pension on account
Of hernia, concealed the fact that he was
injured subsequent to discharge. This
concealment constituted fraud on his
part.
In the claim Of Sarah c., widow of
James Brown. late OF Company e. Nine

Secretary reverses the action OF the bu-
reau. In this claim 1t is decided that "the

VARIOUS MODES OF STUDY
COLONEL PARKER TREATS THE
SUBJECT THIS MORNING.
Mrs. Parker Discusses the Cultivation
of the Emotions-Short Session To-
morrow Because of the Soldiers.

Mr.. Towsend announced that the
summer school would have only a
short session tomorrow, owing to the
proposed entertainment of the sol
diers at the Executive building.
Colonel Parker considered today the
modes of study. The fundamental
mode of study is observation; images
come in through all the senses, but
observation is an absolutely impera-
tive mode; without this, you cannot
have strong images, for without this
the images cannot grow.
The next important mode is hear
ing, language or listening. This
means the power of imagining. This
power to sit still and put your mind
on subject. 1t is one great test of
intellectual power. There are many
who when a lecture begins, catch the
opening words, but soon allow the
mind to wander off on other subjects.
Children should be practiced in lis
tening.
The third mode of study is reading.
This power should be sedulously cul-
tivated from the beginning to the end.
All this is the reception side, but
that is nothing if there is not a
movement out; if there is not a man
Hesitation of this through the body.
Mrs. Parker, previous to her re-
marks on the emotions, answered a
question regarding gestures that were
offensive. Such questions were the re-
suit of excessive nervousness. The
gesture she wished cultivated was that
which was means of expression. The
well trained body will use these forms
of expression as Il well trained mind
will use correct verbal expression.
Gesture should mean something,
should express thought.
The subject of the emotions was
perhaps the least understood of our
nature There has been less written
on this than on any other subject. We
do not realize what creatures of habit
we are. The way we form habit is
simply by repetition; to kill habit
we have simply to stop. The most
dangerous thing in the world is to
permit a certain train of thought to
continue and grow, for example that
we are not properly appreciated; we
think about it, become discontented
and acquire the contemptuous expires.
sion of the fact that is well known.
She illustrated many other gestures
that follow on thought. The emotion
intensifies the thought and the gest.
ure is the direct expression of the
thought. She recommended good
military drill as cure, for "body
helps SOUL

FOREIGNERS IN LAPAN.

The number of foreign employees
in Japan is gradually and steadily de-
creasing, In 1890, the japanese gov
ernment had 166 foreign employees.
At the present time it has but II. Pri-
vate firms in 1890 had 62O foreigners
employed, at the present time they
have 496. Taking totals there is a
decrease of 7S6 to SCI. The japanese
sucked the brains of the best foreign
ers they could lay hands on, and have
now very little use for them. 1t is
interesting to note that of 567 for
eigners, for instance, who were in the
employ of Japanese, both government
and private, 227 were British, 203
Americans, A japanese, 40 Germans,

MEETS GENERAL Approval
SEWALL FOR GOVERNOR GIVES
SATISFACTION.
Provisional Government Will Probab-
ly Consist of Present Officials with
Addition of Federal Representative.

The widely expressed approval and
satisfaction of the community at the
endorsement of Minister Sewall by
the American Union Party, for the
governorship of the Islands, is alike
mplimentary to him and to the po-
litical sagacity of the party.
Mr.. Sewall, this morning, had no
hesitation in expressing his gratifica-
tion at the political support that had
been rendered him, and the approval
of this tender by the press and indi-
viduals
He has not, however, made any for
NAL reply to the tender of this sup
port, and will not do so while he re-
tains his diplomatic office.
AS to what action President McKin-
ley may take or has already taken
with regard to the temporary admin
istration of the Islands, he has abso-
lutely no information. He inclines to
the belief that the President has al
ready named, under the provisions of
the Newlands resolution, the person
or persons to exercise "the civil, judi
cial and military powers exercised by
the officers of the existing govern
ment until Congress shall provide for
the government of the Islands,"
These powers will naturally, pend
ing the report of the commission and
the action thereon by Congress, be
continued in the hands of those Off
GERS now exercising them with possi-
bly, the addition of Federal repre-
sentative, acting in conjunction with
them. But of this he knows nothing.
Admiral Miller, he has been off,
cially informed, will bring full
instructions as to the formal
tiles which will be observ-
ed in effecting change of SOW
ereignty. General Otis does not look
for the arrival of the Philadelphia,
carrying the admiral, until the 3rd or
4th of August. Mr.. Sewall thinks the
transports due here now shortly will
very likely bring news of the deter
mination reached by the President
for the provisional government of the
Islands.

LORD BRASSEY'S UNMISTAKABLE
RESOLUTION.
Why the Most Cordial and Constant
Unity Should Exist Between the
Two Great Nations.

LONDON, July lathe inaugural
meeting of the Anglo-American
League was held this evening at the

those present were the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Archbishop of York,
Cardinal Vaughn and the Duke of
Westminster. The Duke of Fife sent
a letter expressing regret at his in
ability to be present
The Duke of Sutherland. in opening
the proceedings, said the league was
quite apart from ordinary politics, it's
object being to express the feeling of
cordiality which existed between the
people of Great Britain and the Unit
ed States.
On motion of Lord Brassey the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
Considering that the peoples of the
British Empire and the United States
are closely allied by blood, inherit
the same literature and laws, hold the
same principles of government, recog-
nize the same ideas of freedom and
humanity in the guidance of their ma
tional policy, and are drawn togeth-
er by strong common interests in
many parts of the world. this meet
ing is of the opinion that every eff
fort should be made in the interests
of civilization and peace to secure
the most cordial and constant CO.
operation on the part of the two ma
tions."
A representative executive council
was then appointed.
