GREAT VICTORY AT MANILA
Commodore Dewey In1iCtS a Smashing
Defeat on Spanish Fleet.
He Passes the Batteries and Gives the City
Twenty four Hours to Surrender
10 the United States.
American Victory at Manila.


Dewey won a complete and glor-
ious victory over the Spanish fleet
in the Philippines today. The
fighting was Of the fiercest charac.
ter, lasting from s o'clock this
morning until l o'clock this after.
noon.
The bravery of the American
seamen was of the highest char
acter, and, led by the intrepid
Dewey, they inflicted upon the
enemy blow that may be termed
almost veritable rout.
During the night Admiral
Dewey signaled to his war ships
that were in Subig bay, fifty miles
north of Manila harbor, to clear
the ships for action and to follow
him.
The squadron got under way,
with the flagship Olympia lead
ing, and followed by the cruisers
Baltimore, Boston and Raleigh,
the gunboats Concord and Petrol,
the revenue cutter McCulloch and
the transports Nanshan and
Zafiro.
The news of the battle, which
comes through Government
sources and by way of the Span
ish cable, shows that the attack
was terrible in its energy.
Signaling for the American
transports to keep we'll out and
that the Olympia and Baltimore
would engage the Spanish Admi-
rails flagship, the Reina Cristina,
and the Castillo, the largest
of the enemy's feet, the
American warships moved in line
of battle on the Spaniards.
Dewey directed the movements
of the squadron from the coming
tower of the Olympia. He moved
his ship up close to the ReinaMaria
Cristina and sent shell after shell
plowing into theSpanish Admiral's
hull. Captain Charles V. Gridley
Of the Olympia was with him. The
superior aim and the heavier pro-
jectiles of the Olympia soon began
to tell, and the fire from the
Spanish grew more wild and some.

Women Love Brave Men.

While the Louisville legion was be-
ing recruited and got ready to be
mustered in a we'll known Louisville
merchant said on an electric car one
day: Evidently boys are not as brave
and anxious to fight as they were when
was young, and I think it is due to
the fact that there are so many more
women teachers now than men. Women
do not believe in fighting, and they so
teach" He was certainly very much
mistaken, for it is well known fact
that every woman hates a cowardly
man, no matter how much of coward
she may be herself, and the line, None
but the brave deserve the fair, " must
have been suggested by the fact that it
is generally the brave who get the fair.
l know two mothers with only chill
dren who gave their consent without a
murmur when they saw their sons
wished to go with the soldiers. One Of
them, seeing her sons deep distress at
being rejected by the examining officers,
made personal appeal to Colonel Cas-
tleman, who was an old friend Of the
family, and to her boys captain and
lieutenants to use their influence to
have him given another trial. So l
maintain with all due respect to the
gentleman of the car, and he is man
whose opinions generally are worth a
great deal, that if the boys and young
men of today are greater towards than
those of other days it is certainly not
the women that have made them so,
and do not believe it is true that they
are.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

HAD A BULLY TIME"
All the Way Through, IL the Way
Roosevelt Expresses It.

New York, August 13.-The
Rough Riders with General Wheel
err and Colonel Roosevelt, have
been landed from the Mama at
Montauk Point, and are now in the
detention camp, where they will
remain in quarantine for a few
days. Some of the men were so
weak that they were hardly able to
walk.
After the Rough Riders had all
been landed and started to the de-
tention camp, Colonel Roosevelt
was met by the newspaper men.
They endeavored to get him to tell
about his experience but failed.
He refused absolutely to talk about
his achievements, but gladly spoke
of the work of his men. He said
they were all brave men and went
into danger without hesitation. Mr..
Roosevelt was asked about his re-
ported wounding and replied:
The wound on my right wrist
was from shell, but was only a
scratch anyway.
He said he was in the best Of
health and looked 1t.
1--WE had a bully time all the way
through" said the colonel. Ny
regiments is one of the cracker
jacks"
Mr.. Roosevelt said the men were
glad to return as there was no more
fighting to do.

The New Robe Dresses.

Very tempting indeed to the woman
who loves the delicate and dainty pro-
auctions of fashion are the new robe
dresses sent over in boxes and formed OF
the finest and sheerest Of white mulls
and india muslins The skirts and the
unmade waist fabrics are trimmed with
exquisite lace insertions and embroider-
ed frills and hounces and rows Of fine
tucking sometimes with only one very
handsome ruffie at the hem, but with
each seam of the narrowly gored skirt
covered with a band of the insertion.
All the fullness that formerly charac-
terized the making of muslin dress
skirts is removed from about the hips,
making it possible for many women to
wear them this summer who have not
elected for them on account of the great
number Of gathers at the top of the skirt.
They measure from 81 to 4 yards at
the hem and are narrowly gored as they
near the top of the skirt. Tamboured
swiss muslins are similarly fashioned,
and other sheer textiles come IL BOXES
with ruf1es edged with colored en-
broidery, and material, frills and in
sertions for the waist to correspond.
The most expensive models are formed
of soft, exquisite India textiles in white,
with deep embroideries wrought direct
~ upon tie goods Other skirts are
nearly covered with superb lace traceries
in point and duchesse patterns, and
sprays, bands and borderings in vene-
tian and guipure designs IL applique. -

The city council met last evening
in regular session at $50 o'clock
with Mayor Lawrence, Recorder
Sybert and councilmen Hays, West,
Bailey and Thistle present.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved. The
street committees report was then
called for DR.. West of this COM
mittee stated that there was no re-
port Of Importance to submit. He
further stated that the streets and
alleys we're getting very dirty again.
The street commission er had been
instructed to clean them up and
work would be commenced on
Wednesday.
The finance committee made no
report.
The special committee to settle
with Mr.. Agnew had not accom-
plished their purpose, they having
as yet not met Mr.. Agnew.
The water committee made no
report. Superintendent Guyton
was present and stated that there
was plenty of water and the pumps
are working satisfactorily. The
fire plugs we're blown out Satur-
day.
Mr.. Guyton then submitted his
bond, giving E. Roome, John
Stealey, and G. w. Stocking as
bondsmen. On motion of West,
the bond was accepted.
Under the head of general bust
ness, the wharf question was taken

length. The council seem to be at
their wits ends as 20 the material to

says that t'e grade is II per cent.
or an eleva jon of IA feet to the
hundred, in coming up to Water
street. There = 10 record Of where
brick has hoen u,ed successfully at
such an elevation. The wharf at
Point Dl-asant is build of brick, but
the graue is only IS feet. Mr..
Summons has just returned from a
tour of investigation in P!ttsburg
and other harbors along the Ohio
and its tributaries. He also con-
suited several experienced engi-
neers, but could find no one to in
dorse or that would recommend a
brick wharf on such a heavy grade.
The council, however, will accept
bids for the construction of brick
wharf, at the contractors risk.
