Cincinnati. Is eagerly discussed here,
and every incident of the affair is
weighed by army and navy officers and
the newspaper men. The interest in
the engagement is mixed with delight
at the fact that there are no casualties
to record on the American side, not one
of our ships being even touched. There
is much curiosity as to the effect of our
fire upon the enemy, but at present all
information on this point is lacking.
From the fact that the Spaniards
opened fire an our ships while the lat
ter were taking a reconnaissance in
force and when the vessels were near
ly five miles out from the batteries,
leads to the belief, that the enemy be-
lieved that all that was necessary to
induce the United States fleet to move
further away was for the batteries to
open fire on them. But IT, from for
mer experience, they had reached this
conclusion, they found that forbear-
ance had reached the limit and they
must have been intensely astonished
when the New York, being the farthest
west. but the nearest in shore, opened
fire with her batteries.

The primary object is the capture OF
the Spanish fleet, which Admiral Dew
ey thinks more important than captur-
ing Manila. He is determined to pre-
vent it's preying upon American ves-
sels Uponsreaching Manila he will de-
mand capitalization within thirty-eight
minutes on his arrival. The men are in
the best of spirits and excellent health.
There have been nine assertions, six
of which were Cinnamon, one Italian,
and one German. During the fleets
stay at Hong Kong every precaution
has been made, the ships being cleared
and painted for battle.
The general opinion is that the fight
in these waters will result in an easy
victory for America. Her ships carry
122 guns, against ninety-six or there
abouts in the Spanish fleet. The CO.
operation of the American fleet with
the rebels has been Kept a strict secret.
The rebels await the arrival OF the

succumb. The defenses are in q

FIRING ORDERED by M'KINLEy.
Permission to Reduce Matanzas Forts
Asked for by Sampson.

ASKED Tor by sampson.
Washington, April 2S.-President Nc
Kinley, as COMMUNICATIVE hief Of the
navy, gave the order for the American
fleet to fire on the batteries at Matan-
zas. This was clearly established from
highest official information. Several
days ago Admiral Sampson notified the
secretary of the navy that the work
Of strengthening the Spanish batteries
at Matanzas was going ahead with rap
idity and that in his estimation the
work ought to be stopped or the batter
les reduced.
The recommendation of Admiral
Sampson was laid before the naval
strategic board and by IL approved. The
matter was then carried to the presi-
dent, who at once sent orders to Ad-
miral Sampson to reduce the batteries
at Matanzas. The order never contem-
plated the bombardment of Matanzas,
but 1t Is believed to mean the occupa-
ton of the port as a base of supplies at
an early day.

The money in circulation in the United
States to-day is $246, 600, 900 greater than
when the democratic convention of 1896
demanded the free coinage of silver in order
to increase the money in circulation. A
part of this increase comes from the coinage
of our own mints, which have, since July l.,
1896, coined $l1S, AS, $3.50 of gold, while the
imports of gold (coin and bullion) In excess
OF the exports, have amounted during that
time to over one hundred million dollars.

If there are any papers in Michigan
which are deserving of lasting praise and
grateful remembrance of the people of this
state, and we believe there are many, the
Detroit Free Press deserves to be placed
among the foremost of the list. 1t Is not
recently alone that it has deserved to be
called the foremost of Michigans papers,
though during these last few months it has
demonstrated anew its claim to such recog-
milton by course of conduct which stands
In marked contrast to that of certain other
Detroit sheets, which have by their conduct
proved themselves utterly unworthy of any
influence whatever, and wholly lacking in
any intelligent patriotism.
Putting aside all partisan feeling the
Free Press has risen to the plane of true
patriotism and broad craftsmanship, and
with undaunted courage has boldly stood
by what will prove to be the true American
policy, in spite of the snarling of the lingo
sheets.
Though not republican paper 1t has
dared to stand by the policy Of President
Mckinley and has upheld him at all times
in his heroic efforts to accomplish the right
and achieve the salvation of Cuba, IL posi-
BILE, without the sacrifice either of Ameri-
can lives or American honor. 1t has been
able to see the wisdom of the Presidents
policy of exhausting every honorable peace
full means before resorting to war, and of
appealing to arms only when it was certain
that peaceful means could no longer be of
any avail in stopping starvation and slaugh-
ter In Cuba. In Its reception of the Presi.
dents message. too, 1t was not blinded by
any frothing passion for war, but examined 1t
In the light of patriotism backed up by
reason as well as sentiment. Broad and
statesmanlike In Its policy 1t could under.
stand the wise and patriotic views of the
President and his feeling of resp )nsibillty
to the nation and the world at large.
The day will come when even those who
have been thoughtless now will see that
their truest friends have been the papers
like the Free Press which have been calm
and wise in their patriotism, and will in a
measure at least mete out the scorn so rich
ly merited by the ranting, tuning, yellow,
war-at-any- price sheets. And now that
war is so surely upon us the Free Press
will he found still In The vanguard Of
patriots.
