Complete Story of the Brilliant Naval Vic
tory at Manila from One Who Stood
Beside Adm. Dewey-Estimate
Of Spanish Losses.

New YORK, May 9.-The New York
Herald has received a detailed account
of Dewey's victory from its correspond
ent at Manila, who stood beside Adm.
Dewey during the fight, under date of
May 1, by way of Hong Kong, May T..
The complete dispatch is as follows:
Not one Spanish flag flies in Manila bay to-
day. Not one Spanish warship floats except as
our prize More than 200 Spaniards dead and
500 to 700 wounded attest the accuracy of the
American fire. Commodore Dewey attacked
the Spanish position at Cavite this morning.
He swept five times along the line and scored
one OF the most brilliant successes in modern
warfare. That our loss is trihing adds to the
pleasure OF victory without detracting from its
value. The number of hits our vessels received
proved how brave and stubborn was the defense
made by the Spanish forces
Eight Slightly Wounded.
Miraculous as it may appear none of our men
were killed and only eight men were wounded.

DULUTH, Mimi. May 9.-Fifty frame
buildings on Minnesota point, just

1000 people were homeless. The fire
took 12 frame store buildings from ting
on Lower Lake avenue just below the
"Under the Hill" district and swept
from there back to the lake shore.
There are no particularly large indi-

be over 100000. Among the sufferers
were so families of Jews, members of
a colony who were at mass meeting

polite and agreeable than was this big
man from Maine, when introduced to
strangers who were viewing the capitol

Therefore although the minority memI

Therefore although the minority menu
bers were present and declined to vote,
Mr.. Reed called those present by name
and caused the clerk to mark them
down as present and not voting" But
the mere fact that they were present
made up the quorum, which is a major
ity of the house. and business proceed
ed. Two or three years afterwards this
Interpretation of the constitution was
Endorsed by the supreme court of the
United States, and also by the demo-
cratic party when it had a majority in
the house of representatives.
When Mr.. Reed, as speaker of the
house of representatives, announced
the chairmen and members of the COM
mittees of the house, he appointed Maj.
Mckinley chairman of the committee
on ways and means. A tariff bill was
passed which was called the Mckinley
bill. All bills of that character are
named after the chairmen of the COM
mittees in which they originate. AL
though Speaker Reed was the recog-
nized leader of his party the Mckinley
bill was spoken of so often in print that
the reputation of Maj. Mckinley be-
came national. and that fact was large
ly instrumental in bringing about his
subsequent election as governor OF
Ohio and president of the United States.
There are great many "ifs" in the po-
| litical world, and one of the IN most often
used by friends of Tom Reed goes with
| the expression: IF Mckinley had been
elected speaker of the Fifty-frst con.
gress, aud Tom Reed had been made
chairman of ways and means, as he
| would have been, the country would
have had a tariff bill called the Reed
bill, and Tom Reed might have reached
the presidency as Mckinley reached it."
| The speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives occupies an exalted position.
1t is very difficult to secure access to
him. Strangers in Washington must
have their representatives or senator's
| go to his Office room with them in order
to pass the door where a sable messen-
ger guards the entrance. By the way,
that messenger is the son of an African
American Methodist Episcopal bishop.
There is no assumption Of authority
in this official condition. Speaker Reed
is obliged to be exclusive and bar the
public out, because he has so much bust
ness to attend to that he cannot have
time to indulge in social greetings.
Nevertheless, whenever a senator or
member of congress goes to his Office,
the door is promptly opened and the
visitors are permitted to enter. Every
body who calls with a right to enter his
room finds there a genial gentleman,
who is one of the most entertaining
men in this country; or, for that mat
ter, in the world.
Just a few months ago, a distin-
guished editor in a northwestern city
visited Washington with his daughter
in-law, and was viewing the rotunda Of
the capitol when Speaker Reed passed
through that spacious place. A news

Needless pother is made about various
recent government orders that are sup
posed by some to indicate the process
of preparation for war. The explana-
ton put forth by government officials,
| that these orders are but the execution
of routine duties, or the carrying out of
policy that mad been determined upon
months ago, or the accumulation of
needed stores, is reasonable enough. AT
the same time, in view of the delicate
situation of international affairs the
government would be remiss in its duty
and obligations if it did not take every
precaution for the national safety that
is consistent with the maintenance of
friendly relations with other powers. I'm
doubtedly it has been and is now doing
that very thing, yet that is no excuse for
mysteries and no palliation for infam
matory sensationalism. The several de-
tails of men sent from the garrisons to
the remoter coast defenses, the setting up
of guns that had been delivered but not
mounted, the reported order and delivery
of ammunition, tine contract for Hotch-
kiss rapid-fire guns and for uniforms,
the hurried work upon monitors and the
reported dispatch of the Terror to New
York, the gradual concentration of the
north Atlantic fleet south of Florida, the
northward progress of the south At
lantic squadron, the expected departure
of Gen Wesley Merritt from New York
for the regular inspection of coast de-
fenses the passage of the long-aslked-
for and long-deferred bill adding two
regiments of artillery $500 mem to the
regular army, and even the activity of
the militia in certain states-all these
might reasonably be but details of the
routine Of the army and navy depart
ments. There is Iittle doubt that the
orders that represent actual progress in
either branch of the service should
have been given and executed some
time ago. and at least one of them
would have been but for the politics,
! local interests and dilitoriness Of mem
! bers of congress. The two artillery
regiments were actually needed to take
care of the new guns as well as to learn
how to serve them That congress has
been aroused from its lethargy is, of
course, proof that the situation is rec
ognized as somewhat critical Never
theless, we reapeat, there is no occasion

Anton Seidl having declined the con-
ductorship of the Berlin royal opera,
and Mottl the chief conductor at Bay
reuth, having accepted it, it must be
that Mr.. Seidl is satisfied that ample
money will be raised to give New York
permanent orchestra. A million
dollars were desired in order to
put the orchestra on a self-sus-
tanning basis, and hitherto subscriptions
to the amount of only $4,000 have been
reported, with guarantees for some
100000 more. To help out, however,
Maurice Grau has consented to accept
this permanent orchestra as the orches-
ira of the Metropolitan Opera House.
and the Evening Post rejoices at this,
not only because it will contribute ma
terially to the support of the organiza-
ton, but because it will prevent over
stocking the market with concerts. New
ertheless. there is am objection to the
arrangement, because an orchestra that
has to give up a considerable portion
of its time to the opera loses by so much
its opportunities for practice in concert
work, and as a matter of fact, operate
work is demoralizing to the kind of dis
cipline that is imperative for perfect
ensemble in concert music. That is a
principle acknowledged by conductors.

Ex-President Harrison, by his Wash
ington day speech in Chicago, has allied
himself with those who insist upon the
taxation of securities or intangible per-
sonal property, for he said: IF we are
to have no taxes save such as in their
nature necessarily exclude concealment
ana bribery, what taxes will remain?
He virtually admitted that in the large
cities the taxation of securities was be-
coming more and more subject to eva
sion, and that the receipts from it were
growing less and less. Upon this he
based a strong sermon concerning the
wrong of such evasion and the intolera-
BILE inequality of a taxation which inn
poses an unjust burden upon the few
and allows immunity to the many. Said
he: Taxes are a debt of the highest OBJ
legation, and no casuist can draw
sound moral distinction between the
man who hides his property or makes
a false return in order to escape the
payment of his debt to the state, and
the man who conceals his property
from his private creditors" This, at all
events, is vigorous talk to the tax dodg-

The cable announcement, made con

never agree to the sale of Cuba, no mat
ter what party might be in power, is one
of the things that are important if true,
1t probably is true that no ministry
would willingly consent to such a prop
osition. The declaration that nothing
better than the autonomy farce will be
offered to the insurgent Cubans, might
be deemed a rash statement, consider

Spanish dominion in the island.
