Commodore Dcwcy's DARN. ESploi.
Excite. Tn Admiration


LONDON, May 4 England has been
ftaggercd by Commodore Dcwey's
overwhelming victory. The superior
ity OF the United States squadron was
recognized. but it was fully believed
that it would be more than counter
balanced by the assistance afforded
the Spanish fleet by the sub marine
mines and the powerful shore bat
tcrics.
Tho splendid ~seamanship and valor
OF Commodore Dewey in forcing an
entrance to Manila harbor in the faco
Of these dcfcnscs, excite intense adj
miration, while among naval experts
the dispatch with which the American
squadron disposed OF the Spaniards is
held to prove hat Commodore Dewey
employed the source at his com.
mand with highest possible amount of
effectiveness.
Dewcy's victory has suddenly placed
the United States in an important POI
sition in connection with the far East
question. European interests in Cuba
arc remote, almost academic, but the
Philippines is an entirely different
matter. 1t is believed Thai the United
States can use the Philippines as u
powerful lever to force Spain to aban.
don Cuba through the pressure of
European powers, who do not want a
Spanish colonial disruption in the far
East TO take place until the Chinese
problem is settled.

For this sum IS 400 people brought into the country
Since greater part OF the has been borne by
