PLAINLY A SPANISH DEFEAT
English Opinion Of the Battle
at Manila.
NEWS FAR FROM SATISFACTORY
Spain Evidently Breaking the Unpleasant
News to Her People as Easy
a. Possible.

LONDON, May 2.-Reliable details OF
the Manila engagement cannot be had
until Comm odore Dewey's squadron Is
able to communicate with Hong Kong.
There is, however, suspicious frank
ness about the Spanish dispatches that
savors of a desire to break unpleasant
news to the Spaniards. While 1t Is
quite clear that the Spanish squadron
has suffered crushing defeat, the dis
matches leave unclear the intensely In
teresting question whether the Amer.
lean squadron has suffered material
damage. All news thus far comes
from Spanish sources; but it seems evil
dent that Commodore Dewey has
not captured Manila. Unless he is able
to make another attack and capture
the town, he will be in an awkward
position, having no base upon which to
retire and to refit. 1t is probable there
fore that the United States squadron
will be
Ordered to San Francisco,
as the entrance to Manila bay was
heavily mined with torpedoes Com
modore Dewey displayed great pluck
and daring in making for the inner
harbor. According to private advices
received from Madrid the United States
cruisers Olympia, Raleigh and other
vessels, the names Of which are not
given, entered the harbor.
No dispatches give details as 10 tine
vessels actually engaged on both sides.
Probabilities point in the direction OF
the second engagement having occurred
through the Spaniards trying to pre-
vent the landing Of the American
wounded. -

Captain Watkins had no + .;r that q
Spanish war vessel would catch his
feet steamer after she got sea room,
but 1t was thought possible that some
craft Of the enemy might be lurking in

An Accommodating Company.

The Southern Express Company,
which has operated the express busl-
ness on the Shenandoah Valley divls-
ion of the Norfolk & Western Rail-
way since December, 1896, seems to
be doing an increased business on this
line. On Monday of last week they
ran a special express train from Elkton
to Philadelphia to accommodate the
thanksgiving shipments of produce
etc., from this section to the eastern
markets. The special left Elkton with
FIVE cars one hour ahead of regular
train No. 4 and arrived in Philadelphia
at 43O a. m, and we are advised that
all the shipments were promptly de-
livered. Our shippers should, and we
feel sure that they do, appreciate the
efforts of the Southern Express Com
pany to get their shipments to market
n good time to secure the most favor
able prices of the season. We are also
advised that the Express Company will
make an effort to afford special facill-
ties during the week preceding Christ
mas to give the shippers of the Valley
the benefit of the best markets. This
| shows the Southern Express Company
is live and enterprising corporation
and will afford their patrons every ia
cility their business demands.

Wreck on the N. & w.

A disastrous accident occurred last
Sunday about noon on the Shenandoah
Valley division Of the Norfolk & West
ern Railway near Buena Vista. A new
iron bridge is being constructed at that
point by the Phoenix Bridge Company.
One span of the bridge had just been
completed and the false work had been
removed only few hours. A fast
freight train loaded with live stock was
passing over the bridge when the new
span gave way, dropping a part OF the
train into the stream thirty feet be-
meath. Fireman Joseph Stevens was
instantly killed. Brakeman David
Winger was probably fatally injured
and Engineer Stephen Mayo was so
badly scalded and hurt that he may
not recover. A number of the cattle
were killed. A wrecking crew and
surgeons were sent from Roanoke, and
the dead and injured men removed to
that place, where they all resided.
Traffic was blocked until the chasm
was hastily bridged. Engineer Mayo
at one time lived in Shepherdstown,
having been an engineer on the road
when this place was its northern ter
minus.

Miss odette TyIer,s costumes.

Mr.. and Mrs. R. D. Shepherd ex-
pect to leave Shepherdstown Friday
on their theatrical tour. Mr.. Shep-
herd will resume his stage name of r.
D. Mclean and Mrs. Shepherd that OF
Odette Tyler. The following descrip-
ton of Miss Tyler's costumes will
prove of interest to our readers, par
ticularly to the ladies:
The dresses were made by Herr
mann, of New York, and have been on
exhibition there for several days. Miss
Tyler has shown her originality by
drawing away slightly from the tradi-
tional style of the Juliet and Porta
gowns, and dressed them as she her
self thinks a Venetian girl Of that
period would have.
The first dress is of yellow brocade
woven especially so as to show large
wreaths of flowers strewn over 1t IN
silver tints. On top of this comes a
white satin tarbut embroidered in seed
pearls, which are placed so as to form
individual bouquets this is confined
at the waist by pearl band caught
with jeweled dagger.
The second dress is old rose damask,
with an old rose velvet tarbut en-
broidered in gold Venetian crowns,
confined at the waist by gold girdle.
The robe worn in the potion scene Is
heavy japanese crepe falling in long,
heavy folds to the jeweled slippers. In
the tomb scene she wears a white satin
princess heavily interviewer with sill
yer, and the sleeves are entirely OF
silver.
On Just as magnificent scale are
her Portia gowns in the Merchant OF
Venice" The one worn in the casket
scene is probably the handsomest ever
worn by any American or English
actress, the ground work being Of white
damask, and is embroidered all over IN
Venetian designs, composed of tur-
quoise and gold, and with this is worn
a turquoise and gold cap. She has
gone back to the old Venetian prints
for designs of the doctors gown and
cap. They are of black velvet lined
with cardinal satin and worn over a
black soutan.
The cloak worn in the last act has
called forth special admiration. The
outside is composed of stripes of rose
and grey satin three inches wide each.
The lining is of rose damask and cloth
of gold, and the hood is Of white satin
embroidered heavily in gold. Space
forbids a continuation of this descrip-
ton, but her Desdemona and Julius
Caesar gowns are equally magnificent.
