Ohio Fell in Line.
Ohio joined all the States to the

best citizens have been proclaiming
for over twelve months in all the Ohio
Daily papers, what residents of the
old States to the East of Ohio had been
proclaiming for years. At first it Gre

idents of each city and town became
anxious and curious TO know who
would be the next as the testimony
from representative citizens was daily
published in the local papers. Week
after week went by and the good peo-
pie of Ohio settled down to the fact
that what their neighbOrs said must be
true; that local testimony and state
ments from people they knew must be
reliable. 1t will be the same in Homo

Judge Clark, of London, Ohio.

The following points in connection
with the examination of the Spanish
ships is emphasized by Lieutenant Ell
licOtt:
First-The sides of iron and steel
built cruisers do not arrest projectiles
enough to explode them.
Second-The incendiary effect of
bursting eight-inch shells is great, and
far greater than would seem proper
Tomato to that of lower caliber shells.
Third-At ranges over $500 yards
the gun shields of cruisers are in no
sense a protection, but insures the
humiliation of the guns crew and the
disabling of the gun if struck by a
large projectile.
Fourth-War ships of the present
day will generally be placed hors de
combat by confagration and the de-
struction of their personnel before
they are sunk by gun fire.

DEWEY'S GUN FIRE
Effect Of American Fire
on Montejo's Fleet.
Numbsr OF Times Each Vessel Was Struck
Official Report of Intelligence Officer
of the Baltimore.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Lieuten-
ant John NJ. Ellicott, the Intelligence
officer of the Baltimore, has forwarded
to the Navy Department under date
of January /, 1899, report on the
effects of the gun fire of Dewey's fleet
upon the Spanish war vessels in the
battle of Manila. The report is based
upon a personal examination OF all the
vessels, personal conversations with
officers aboard and extracts from Ad-
miral Montojo's official report 1t
describes in detail the effect of every
shot from the American fleet, and
proves that Montojo's vessels were rid
died by a perfect storm of shot and
shell from the American guns. There
was aemuch larger percentage of hits
at Manila than at Santiago This is
fleet made a deliberate attack with
most of the enemys ships at rest, while
the appearance of Cervera's feet at
Santiago was unexpected and it was a
running fight.
Lieutenant Ellicot makes this sum
mary of the number and sizes of the
projectiles which struck each of the
Spanish boats:
Christina-F'ive eight-inch, five six
inch and thirteen other large shells,
seven siX-pounders and nine other pro-
jectiles.
Castilla-Two siX-inch, twelve five
inch, four other large shells, three six
Founders and sixteen other small
shells. Survivors also tell of three
eight-inch shells which burst on the
Orlop deck forward, amidship ad aft,
causing fires that could not be con-
trolled.
Don Antonio de UIloa-Four eight
inch, three siX-inch, one five-inch and
fourteen other large shells, ten six
Founders and one other small she'll
DOM Juan de Austria-Two siX-inch
or eight-inch, four five-inch, five six
Founders and two other small shells.
Isle de Luzon-Three hits before she
retired behind the arsenal and was
sunk by her own crew.
Isle de Cuba. to which Montojo
transferred his flag after the Christina
was abandoned-Four six-pounders
and one of small caliber. She, too,
was sunk by her crew.
Marquis del Duero-One eight-inch,
one six-inch and three six-pounders.
The Velasio took no part in the ac
ton, but was hit by a stray she'll and
was sunk by the Spaniards. The Gen
eral Lao took no part in the engage
ment and was exploded by the Span
iards. The Argos was also out of the
fight, but was struck by large shell
and was shoaled by the Spaniards.
The total number of hits observable
was 141, but there were doubtless many
others, especially of small caliber

structure of the ships. After painstak-
ing inquiry Lieutenant Ellicott makes
the following report of casualties
