Great activity in wheat last week
was caused by the remarkable advance

American war continues, the price Of
wheat will 60 higher at Chicago, but it
now seems that peace means lower
prices, for the following reasons: Eu-
rope has been advancing very largely,
fearing blockade of our ports and q
famine at home unless their require

can shipments, and large purchases
have been made for foreign account at
the advanced prices on account of the
fear of war with Spain. The enor-

from abroad, for both patents and

all was for quick shipment. Indica-

Northwest been as short of wheat as
now. Country stocks have reached a
very low point, there being probably
less than 1900, 600 bushels held a. this

Clear.

That Is About All the Dispatches Make
London, May S.--While it is quite
clear that the Spanish squadron has
suffered crushing defeat. the dis
patches do not leave clear the interest,"
ing question whether the American
squadron has suffered damage.
Probably, therefore, the United
States squadron will be obliged to make
for San Francisco, as the entrance to
Manila bay was heavily mined with
torpedoes.
Commodore Dewey displayed great
pluck and daring in making for the
inner harbor. According to private
advices received from Madrid, the Uni
ted States cruisers Olympia, Raleigh
and two other other vessels, the names
Of which are not given. entered the har-
Dor. No dispatches give details as to
the vessels engaged on either side.
All news thus far is from Spanish
sources, but it seems evident that Com
modore Dewey has not captured Manila.

tack and capture the town, he will be

Mutterings in Madrid.

The town is greatly excited by the
serious news from the Philippines, and
there is an immense crowd gathering
in the Sale de Savila. The civil
guards on horseback were called out to
preserve order, and all precautions have
been taken. There is much muttering,
but up to the present, nothing more
serious has occurred.
Late official kilograms say Admiral
Montejo has transferred his flag to the
cruiser Isle of Cuba, from the cruiser
Reina Cristina. which is completely
burned. According to official tele-
grams. the Spanish cruiser Castillo
was also burned.
The other ships retired from the COM
bat, some being sunk to avoid their
falling into the enemy's hands.

emily begun by the Americans after
landing their wounded on the west side
of the bay.

The Off cial Report.

The following is the text Of the off,
cial dispatch from the governor-general
of the Philippines to the minister OF
war, General Correa, as to the engage
ment off Manila:
"Last night, the batteries at the en-
trance to the forts announced the arrival
of the enemy, forcing passage under
the obscurity of the night. At day
break the enemy took up positions,
opening with strong fire against Fort
Cavite and Tardenal. Our feet en-
gagged the enemy in brilliant CONT bat,
protected by the Cavite and Manila
forts. They obliged the enemy, with
heavy loss, to maneuver repeatedly.
cat 9 O'clock the Americans took
refuge behind the foreign merchant
shipping on the east side of the bay.
Our fleet, considering the enemy's
superiority, naturally suffered severe
loss. The Reina Cristina is on fire, and
another ship, believed to be the Don
Juan de Austria, was blown up. There
was considerable loss of life. Captain
Cadareze, commanding the Reina Girls
tina, is among the killed. cannot
now give further details. the spirit Of
the army, navy and volunteers is ex-
cellent"
When the United States feet arrived
at Subic, at O'Clock yesterday after
noon. Commodore Dewey sent scouting
vessels to examine these waters for the
enemy, and Immediately sailed in the
direction of Manila.
Notwithstanding the severe damage
the Spanish ships suffered. naval off,
GERS here consider that the future oper-
ations by the American squadron will
be conducted under great difficulty,
owing to their having no base where
they could repair or coal, or obtain
fresh supplies of ammunition.
Another account says the Mindanao
and UllOa were severely damaged in
the second engagement.

war is likely to precipitate internal dis
sension, If not revolution.
Probable Result of the victory.
Another result of Admiral Dewey's
victory, 1t is thought, may be action on
the part of the powers of Europe to in
duce Spain to abandon what is regard
ed as hopeless contest.
In the dispatches from Madrid, the
statement was made that Admiral
Dewey effected landing on the west
side of Manila bay for the men of his
feet who we're wounded in the engage
ments.
As soon as the junction Of the
American and insurgent forces-the
one at sea and the other on lands
effected, demand is likely to be made
for the surrender of the city. and, in
the event of refusal, combined attack
will be made on it.
The result of such an attack, in the
absence of Spanish feet and effective
shore batteries, seems q foregone con-
cluaion.
Representations may be made to
Spain that she would better relinquish
her hold upon Cuba than risk all of her
West Indian possessions and the Phil
ippines as well. It Is believed to be
not unlikely that the representations
will indicate that, since Spanish honor
has been satisfied by q conflict, Spain
can now yield to the inevitable and &C.
