The high waters have played havoc

Once more American ships and
American gunners have shown their
superiority over the Spanish. AS a
result OF our navy's prowess the Stars

4 tht first battle between our ships and

in the entire discontinue of the

are situated, is the most northerly and
the largest of the Philippine group
The only cable connections with the
islands is to Hong Kong from a quite
important town, Bolinao, on Cape
Balinhasay, sixty miles north-north-
east OF Manila. When official report
of the battle comes from Admiral
Dewey IL will be either by seizure Of
the town Of Balinao or by dispatch
boat sent to some neutral port. 1t is
probably impracticable now to send
kilograms from Manila even though
the city may have surrendered, since
the wires TO the cable station on the
coast pass through the enemys coun-
try. II would seem quite likely that
the Philippines end of the cable will
be seized and held, for quick commu-
nication with Admiral Dewey is OF
great Consequence to the navy depart
ment at Washington.
The effect of the defeat of Spain in
this FIRST trial OF strength will be
