American guns were being used with
telling effect.
AS the smoke lifted 1t was seen that
the flagship Relna Christina was on fire.
The vessel was completely burned. In
the interval between the two engage
ments Commodore MOntejo moved his
flag from the Reina Christina to the
smaller cruiser Isla de Cuba. To the fact
that he made this change he doubtless
owes his life.
The cruiser Castillo, next to the flag
ship, the largest and most powerful OF
the Spanish squadron, was also burned.
The cruiser Don Antonio de Ulloa and
the Mindanio were also badly damaged
In this encounter.
That the American squadron received
severe damage In the engagement cannot
be doubted. EARLY reports had 1t that
FIVE of Commodore Dewey's ships had
been sunk. Later advices from Madrid
put the number at two.
There were undoubtedly heavy losses
In men on both sides One apparently

ish had 200 killed and 400 wounded.

Good Advice to MlITtiamen.

The Hutchinson Bee, which is always

Some men in this town, within the last
few days, have been saying and doing
things Of which they will some time be
most heartily ashamed--things which
will In after years rise up as grim spec
ters Of treason to haunt their dreams
and curse their waking hours. This Is
a time when every American citizen owes
allegiance to the President, and every
citizen of Kansas allegiance to our Gov
ernor. In times Of war the reasons for
every act and every step cannot be ex-
plained to the satisfaction OF all, and
especially to those whose ears are deaf
to explanations; and the first duty Of
the citizen Is to obey the commands of
those in authority by virtue Of the Will
of the majority. Things will be done
which may not meet our individual aD-
probation, but until all the facts in the
case are in our possession, none of us are
competent to judge of their merits, or
justified in reasonable utterances
