DEWEY DAY.

Yesterday was the anniversary OF the
battle of Manila, which was fought one
year ago on the first day Of May. The
day has been appropriately named
Dewey day and it was observed to a
certain extent throughout the country.
The details of the battle of Manila
are still fresh in the minds of the
American people and a brief description
will suffice. Prior to the beginning of
the war with Spain q feet Of American
vessels, under command Of Commodore
George Dewey, had been c~ongregated
at Hong Kong, China. AS soon as
hostilities were broken out, Dewey was
compelled to leave that port owing to
the neutral laws and be received orders
on April 20 from tie navy department
to proceed at once to Manila. the CAPT
tai Of the Spanish possessions, and sink
or capture the Spanish fleet. What
followed is we'll known to every Ameri.
can and showed how promptly orders
were obeyed by Commodore Dewey.
On April ~ he lett Hong Kong for his
trip of 600 miles, which proved to be
uneventful, although there were rumors
that the Spanish fleet would come out
and meet him. but it did not. Late
in the evening of April 80 found Dewey
outside the harbor Of Manila, and the
Spanish feet, under Admiral Montejo,
within.
The Spanish ships were the moe
numerous and had the advantage of be-
ing in home waters and the aid Of the
shore forts and batteries, but this
caused Dewey no uneasiness-he was
there to conquer, not to be conquered.
Not one moment did he hesitate ur
sworve from his duty. The night was
beautiful, calm and clear and lighted
only by the stars. Work commenced
at once for the terrible battle that was
to occur early the next morning. Dur
ing the night orders were given to pro.
coed cautiously into the bay and after
getting we'll in and in sight Of the city
Dewey ordered the feet to halt, and the
men to lie down and sleep till day
break. a..
At sunrise OH Sunday, May /, he
engaged the Spanish fleet Of war vessels
and before uoon his enemies we're en-
tirely destroyed, with a loss of 412 off,
GERS and men killed and wounded,
while on the American side there were
none killed aud but seven wounded.
President Mckinley in his message
to congress. which was in session at
that time, spoke of the victory as one
Of unsurpassed achievement, and that
its magnitude can hardly be measured
by the ordinary standards Of naval war.
fare. The battle electrified not only
the United States, but the entire world.
Dewey had won everything against all
odds and his victory stands pre-eminent
in the history of naval battles. Since
that memorable day Dewey has been
honored to the fullest extent by the
American people; he was first promot-
cd to the grade of r%ear.admiral, and
later congress revived the rank Of ad-
miral for his especial benefit and which
Office he now fills. The American peo-

the eight months ending February %, were

our commerce with all of these islands
has increased both as to imports and ex-

greater in exports than in imports.

DID NOT KILL THE CHILD.
Mrs. Fannie Lyons Acquitted by a
COrOner's Jury.

Mrs. Fannie Lyons acquitted by a
COrOner's Jury.
Helpless and weak from physical and
mental suffering. Mrs. Fannie Lyons was
today brought before coroner's Jury at
the Sixth precinct station for an investiga-
tion as to the causes that led TO the death
of her infant at the Homeopathic Hospital
on the night of March 2.
The means and cries of the mother and
the earnest solicitation of a sister tended
10 make the occasion one of more than
usual pathos. The young woman was un-
able 10 sit up. and while the evidence in
the case was being taken reclined on a
couch. Several times during the investiga-
ton she was on the verge of fainting.
The history of the case is peculiarly
interesting one. On the night of March 2
Mrs Lyons. who had been confined in the
Homeopathic Hospital, was given her
three days old infant. The child. as stat
ed by the physicians, was particularly
healthy baby and of unusual size. 1t was
handed to the mother. who was confined
to her bed. at few minutes after IL
o'clock. At 11:50 nurse. who went to
remove the child from the bed, found 1t
in limp and apparently lifeless condition.
it was taken to the resident physician,
who pronounced life extinct
After an investigation the mother was
placed under arrest on suspicion of killing
her child
Today's investigation was held tefore
Coroner Carr and jury selected from res
idents of the Sixth precinct.
Deputy Coroner L. w. GlazebroOk tes-
titled that he had performed an autopsy
over the body about twenty-four hours af-
ter DEATH and found that the infant was
particularly well developed He said that
none of the organs showed signs of being
diseased and that no marks of violence
were apparent on the body. The 6ondi-
tion of the organs indicated unusual con-
gestion, and the skin was a deep purple.
He was unable to say that death resulted
from suffocation.
Dr. A. D. Ayler, resident physician Of
the hospital. testified that on the night
of March he visited the ward at twenty
minutes before u, and that the child was
alive at that time. Ten minutes later the
baby was brought to him, apparently dead.
Every effort was made to resuscitate it,
but without avail. In his opinion the in
fant died from suffocation.
Several of the hospital nurses corroborat-
ed the Doctors testimony. as TO the time
and facts in the case. Miss Lucy Helvia
who took the child from its mother. said
that when she found the infant it was lying
with its face under its mothers arm.
Mrs Lyons was represented by Attor-
ney's R. w. Bishop and A. H. Bell, who
brought out the fact that the mother show
ed unusual signs of affection for her baby,
and was entirely ignorant of its death for
several days after the occurrence.
She further showed the greatest solicit
tude for its welfare. and was constantly
making enquiries as to its whereabouts.
Mrs. Hickey, sister Of the accused wo-
man. who resides in New York. showed the
jury several letters from her sister. in
which she expressed the greatest love for
her little one.
After being out but a few moments the
jury brought in verdict of accidental
