COMPLETED THE JOB.

Second Attack Begun by Comm odore
Dewey About Noon.
The battle, which was started al
about $3.50 a. NJ, and adjourned at $3.50
a. m, was resumed about noon, when
Commodore George Dewey started in
to put the finishing touches on his
glorious work. There was not much
fight left in the Sraniards by that time,
and at p. m. the Petrol and Concord
had shot the Cavite batteries into ST.
lence, leaving them heaps OF ruins and
floating the white flag.
The Spanish gunboats were then
scuttled, the arsenal was on fire and
the explosion of Spanish magazine
caused further mortality among the
defenders of Spain ca shore.
On the water the burning. sunken or
destroyed Spanish vessels could be
seen, while only the cruiser Baltimore
had suffered in any way from the fire
of the enemy. A shot winch struck
her exploded some ammunition near
one of her guns and slightly injured
half a dozen of the crew.
Several shots passed dangerously
close to ommodore Dewey but little if
any damage was done Oh board the
flagship. On the other hand about 400
men are said to have been killed on
board the Spanish ships,
Admiral Montejo, the SPANS h COM
mander, transferred his flag to the
Isle de Cuba when his ship eau ght fire,
but the latter was destroyed in due
course of time.
About 100 men We're killed and 60

some estimate the number OF Spanish
wounded at over 1000 men. The
Olympia was struck five times abou,
her upper works, and whaleboat OF
the Raleigh was smashed. Although
the Krupp guns on the Varlande de
Manila were fired continuously during
the engagement, Commodore Dewey
did not reply to them, and the battery
afterwards hoisted a white flag III

THE FIRST ENGAGEMENT.

It Began at $50 in the Morning and
Cont .nued Three Hours.
The American feet entered Manila
bay on Sunday night with the greatest
of ease. The Spaniards had not estab-
lished a patrol and there were no
searchlights &C the entrance of the bay.
In fact the American ships would
probably have passed inside the bay
without any challenge, had it not been
that some SPARKS flew up from the Nc.
Culloch's funnel Thereupon a few
shots were exchanged with the batter
les on Corregidor island, but the fleet
did not slow down, and soon took up
position near Cavite awaiting dawn, III
order to commence hostilities.
The early hours of the morning re-
vealed the opposing ships to each
other, and the Spanish flagship opened
fire. Her action was followed by some
of the larger Spanish warships, and
then the Cavite forts opened up and
the smaller Spanish warships brought
their guns into play.
The American squadron which had
been led into the bay and through the
channel by the flagship olympia did
not reply to this, although the
shells of the spaniards
began to strike the water around them,
but moved majestically onward.

They Had Enormous Advantages
But Failed to Use Them
Properly.
Enemy Lost in the Neighborhocd
of Twelve Hundred Killed
and Wounded.
Battle Began Early and Was Con.
tinued After an Interval For
Breakfast.

Hone KoNa, May 9.-Among ma.
val men, military men and civilians,
there is only one subject of discussion,
the brilliant, dashing, annihilating VIC
tory of the American fleet under Com
modore Dewey over the Spanish feet
commanded by Admiral Montejo in
Manila bay on Sunday last.
!, Commodore Dewey's orders were to
capture or destroy the Spanish feet,
and never were instructions executed
in so complete a fashion. At the end
of seven hours there was absolutely
nothing left of the Spanish feet but a
few relics. The American commander
most skillfully arranged every detail
of the action, and even the most insig-
nifcant features were carried out with
perfect punctuality and in railroad time
table order.
Spaniards Had the Advantage.
The position occupied by the Span
iards, the support which their ships re-
ceived from the land batteries and the
big guns they had ashore gave them an
enormous advantage. Therefore, when
it is considered that the Spaniards lost
over / 200 men killed and wounded; that
all their ships, amounting to about IA,
were destroyed, and that their naval
arsenal at Cavite was also destroyed
with it's de1enses, it will become ap-
parent that the victory of the American
commodore is one of the most com plete
and wonderful achievements in the
history of naval warfare. Not a man
on board the American feet was killed;
not ship was damaged to any extent,
and only six men were injured slightly
on board the Baltimore. This grand
achievement is quite as much due TO
the generalship of Commodore Dewey
as to the fact that American gunners,
ships and guns are superior to any.
thing in the same line afioat anywhere.
Credit must also be given to the fullest
extent to the officers under Commodore
Dewey, for to a man they seconded
their gallant commander in every way.

BORROWERS of Tobacco.

There are some smokers who do not
buy tobacco or cigars more than once a
year. There is probably no other article
which is SO often borrowed and not re-
paid as tobacco. A wit in this city olsce
said in a newspaper paragraph, "The
American people last year used $4,000,
600 pounds of chewing tobacco, half of
which they borrowed. There is almost
as much truth as fun in that assertion.

Fair Streets Saturday Night Contribu-

 Late Saturday night Patrolman Gill ligan while walking through Fair street heard cries for help coming from a driveway leading in from the street. He found in the driveway man named Patrick Mulcain, who said that he had been robbed. He said that he had been drinking in a saloon at the corner of Union and Fair streets and three Ital- ians followed him when he left the place and pulled him into the driveway. One of the two, according to Mulcain's story, grabbed him about the neck and threw him to the ground, after which another one of the Italians went through his pocket and took therefrom about $40 in money.
 Mulcain was locked up on the charge of being drunk and yesterday afternoon Detective Daly and Patrolman Gilligar arrested an Italian named Raphael Gu ono on the charge of breach of the peace in connection with the affair
