as being usually as useless as it is
cruel.
The naval defenses of Manila are
apparently situated at some distance
from the city, at the mouth Of the
bay at whose extremity the city lies.
There are land defenses, but these
we are in no position to attack,
having no troops to land, and if we
captured them, we would not have
the force to occupy and hold them.
Manila is city 100000 inhabitants.
If it were to surrender, Commodore
Dewey, with a couple of hundred
marines at most, could neither oc-
cupy nor govern it. We are inclined,
therefore, until later and contirma-
tory dispatches are received, to
doubt the story that the brave Adj
miral is intlicting upon the city
which is lying at the mercy Of his
guns the horrors of naval lombard
mcnt. The justification for such a
measure might be found in the re-
fusal of the Spanish Governor or
Commander to remove tOrpedoes or
mines. to surrender necessary sup
plies of coal and the possession of
the submarine cable, as indicated in
the dispatches.

following from a recent number of

The actual penetration of a target by
an 1s13-pounder Holtzer projectile,
fired from one of the 11O-tOn guns,

The energy of the blow was 54,32O
