became worse ana worse, until they
were eventually burned to the waters
edge.
The battle. which was started at
about $50 a. m and adjourned at $50
q. m, was resumed about noon, when
Commodore Dewey started in to put
the finishing touches Of his glorious
work. There was not much fight left
in the Spaniards by this time, and
at 2 p. m. the Petrol and Concord had
shot the Cavite batteries into silence
The Spanish gunboats were then
scuttled, the arsenal was on fire, and
the explosion of a Spanish magazine
caused further mortality among the
defenders of Spain on shore.
Only the cruiser Baltimore --ad
suffered in any way from the Gre of s&e
enemy. A shot which struck her ex-
ploded some ammunition near one Of
her guns and slightly injured hair a
dozen of the crew. The wounded
sailors are: Lieutenant Frank Woodruff
Kellogg, Ensign Noble Irwin, Cox
swain John Buddinger, Landsman
Robert L. Barlow, Coxswain Edward
Snelgrove, Coxswain William O'Keefe
and Seamen Richard p. Covert and
Rosario Rieciardelli.
On the other hand, about $50 men
are said to have been killed on board
the Spanish flagship. which was to-
tally destroyed. Admiral Monteje. the
Spanish commander, transferred his
flag to the Isla de Cuba when his ship
caught fire. but the latter was de-
stroyed also in due course of time. The
Reina Christina lost her captain. a
lieutenant, her chaplain and a mid
shipman by one shot which struck her
bridge.
Estimates place the number of Span
ish dead and wounded during the en-
gagement at over thousand men.
The forts at the entrance of the bay
were dismantled on Wednesday, after
they had capitulated.

ScHLEY,s tribute TO DEWEY.
Chief OF the Flying squadron Dis
r.nssEs The Grant NJ nnfln n Er,fnr.s.

Chief or the Flying Squadron Dis
cusses the Great Manila Victory.
Fort Monroe. Va, May 12.-Commo-
dore Winfield S. Schley. commanding
the flying squadron, yesterday fer the
first time consented to give his views
upon the victory won by Admiral
Dewey at Manila. He said;
Admiral Dewey's victory at Manila
must deservedly take its place side by
side with the greatest navy Victories
Of the worlds history. 1t has been
urged that the results show such de-
cided inferiority in resistance as COM
pared with the vigor of attack that
there is diminutiou of the glory, but
that is untrue for 1t must first be re-
membered that the greatness Of
pewey's success lies in the calm cour-
age and daring displayed in his de-
cision to enter a strange harbor. at
dark, under the guns OF many forts and
Drawing the perhaps hidden torpedo or
mine.
THE preponderance Of ADVANTAGE
was certainly with the enemy, and with
the great daring displayed by Dewey
there must fall upon his shoulders the
mantle of Perry and Farragut. II is
evident that, despite the great risk
every officer and every man knew was
being taken. there was not faint
heart in all that squadron. but an en-
thusiasm and esprit de corps that
could not but win with such q leader.
/ would note. too, that superior educa-
ton. which brings Intelligence, coupled
with perfection of craftsmanship, aided
greatly in winning the day, and WILL ]
believe, contribute TO future victories.
Admiral Dewey and every man In his
squadron deserve every recognition
that a grateful people and a nation can
bestow."
The general belief is that the history
of Nelson win be repeated. and that
Spanish Indignation may force the
Spanish fleet to sea, and Trafalgar be
repeated. Every officer is now encour-
aged to believe that Commodore Schley
will be allowed to display his acknowl-
edged skill and daring in active battle.

THE INVASION OF CUBA.
The Movement of Our Troops Is Now
Fairly Launched.

The Movement of Our Troops Is Now
Fairly Launched.
Washington, May 1.-THE army
movement on Cuba is now fairly
launched, and there is concerted
effort all along the line to begin ag-
gressive operations on a big scale for
the ejectment of the Spanish troops
and government from the pearl of the
Antilles. An order given yesterday
afternoon by the war department for
the purchase of 5000, 900 rations is an
earnest of the scale on which prepa-
rations are making for invasion of
SPANS territory OF this vast guam
tity one-fourth is to go to the Philip
pines, by way of San Francisco and
the balance to Cuba. Many bodies of
volunteers that were originally slated
for one of the great concentration
camps have found themselves sud
denly under orders to proceed direct
to southern points, so that soon vol
unteers from the east and middle west
will be moving swiftly to Florida and
the gulf while from the far west the
cars will be carrying troops to San
Francisco.
Contrary to expectations, the day
again passed at the navy department
without news from Admiral Sampson
Notwithstanding what appear to be
confirmatory newspaper advices rela-
tive to the presence of the Spanish
Cape Verde fleet at Cadiz, the navy
department officials are beginning to
entertain strong doubt of the accuracy
of the report. 1t was not possible dur
ing the course of the day to obtain
anything like an official confirmation
of the official report received on Tues
day, but this is not to be wondered at
in view of the success which the Span
ish government has so far met with in
keeping secret the movements of its
naval ships.
1t has been suggested that some of
the troops now being hurried so rap
idly to the gulf coast may be intended
to cooperate with Admiral Sampson
in the reduction of the Notifications
at San Juan de Porto Rico and the
subsequent occupation of the island.
The revival of doubts as to the
whereabouts of the Cape Verde squad
ron caused a renewal of anxiety as to
the Oregon. The ship was at Bahia
at last accounts and is believed to
have started a day or two ago up the
Brazilian coast to join Simpsons
squadron in the West Indies. She will
have to make run of 5000 miles,
which will occupy the Oregon about
ten days only. 1t is believed that Adj
miral Sampson will do whatever is
necessary in his judgment to safeguard
the ship in her run up the coast.
The navy department felt obliged to
decline the offer made by some
wealthy New York gentlemen, headed
by Mr.. o. H. p. Belmont, to build and
equip torpedo boat for the use of the
government during the war. Possibly
the declination was brought about
through the condition attached to the
offer that the boat should be COM
manded by Mr.. Belmont for without
the least reflection upon that gentle
man the naval officials have been
obliged to decline to establish the pre-
cedent of appointing civilians to COM
mands in this way

More Arms For Insurgents.

Tampa, Fla. May 12.-There is good
reason TO believe that inside of "a hours
another expedition with the same pur-
pose and destination as that of the
Gussie, which left here on Tuesday
loaded with arms and ammunition and
supplies for the Cuban insurgents, will
slip from Port Tampa The Florida,
one of the Plant line boats chartered by
the government for use as a trans
port, has taken on a large cargo of
Springfield rifles and ammunition, and
the stalls for horses have been COM
pleted. The boat is lying at the dock
with full steam up and ready for sail
ing at a moments notice.

Worth of Property Destroyed.
Philadelphia, May 12.-Three persons
were burned to death and property
amounting to 1925, 900 destroyed by a
fire which originated yesterday in the
big six story building occupied by Me-
gladden. Brothers, wholesale dealers in
toys and fireworks, GIG Market street.
The dead are: William McCadden, a
member of the firm; Charles Richard
son, a packer, and Miss Evelyn G.
Caldwell, stenographer and typewriter.
Their bodies were found on the second
floor Of the rear of the building, and
We're so charred that 1t was impossible
to recognize them. but as all other emf
ployes have been accounted for there
can be no doubt as to their identity.
The fire originated in the basement
of the building and was caused by the
explosion of fireworks which had re-
Gently been brought into the store and
were being unpacked at the time of the
explosion. When the explosion occur
red there were % persons in the build
ing. 1t is supposed that the three per-
sons who persisted were on the upper
floor, and after making their way to
the second floor were caught by the
flames. Less than half an hour after
the explosion the McCadden establish
ment was mass Of flames. The fire
quickly communicated to 617 and 62l
