DEWEY'S GOOD GUNS.
The spsnisrds Had 1877 Killed and 2IA
Wounded Last May Day.


Washington. April 4.-Lieutenant
John M. Elliott, the intelligence officer
OF the Baltimore. has forwarded to the
navy department, under date Of Janu.
airy |. 1899. a report on the effects Of
the gun fire of Dewey's feet upon the
Spanish war vessels IN the battle Of
Manila. The report lie based upon a
personal examination OF all vessels,
personal conversations with officers
aboard. and extracts from Admiral
Montojo's official report. 1t describes
in detail the effect Of every shot from
the American feet, and proves that
MOntojo's vessels were riddled by q
perfect storm Of shot and shell from the
American guns. There was a much
larger percentage Of hits at Manila
than at Santiago. This is accounted
for by the fact that Dewey's feet made
a deliberate attack, with most Of the
enemy's ships at rest. while the ap-
pearance Of Cervera's feet at Santiago
WAS unexpected aud it was a running
fight. Lieutenant Elliott makes the
following summary OF the number and
size Of the shots which struck each OF
the Spanish vessels:
Cristina-Five S-inch. FIVE 5-inch
and Is other large shells; seven g.
FOUNDERS and nine other projectiles.
Castilla-Two 8-inch, twelve 5.inch.
four other large shells: three 6-pOund.
ers and Is other small shells. Sur.
vivors also tell OF three inch shells
which burst on the orlop deck for.
ward, amidships and aft, causing fires
that could not be controlled.
Don Antonio de Ulloa-Four S.incb,
three 6-inch, one 5-inch and Ia other
large shells; ten 8-pounders and one
other small shell.
Don Juan de Austria-Two 6-inch or
S-inch; four 5-inch: five 6-pounders.
and two other small shells.
lsla de Luzon-Three hits before che
retired behind the arsenal and was
sunk by her own crew.
Isla de Cuba Ito which Montojo
transferred his flag after the Cristina
was neutrality-suspicious. 6-pounders and
one Of unknown Laliber. She, too, was
sunk by the Spaniards.
Marquis del Dunero-One S-inch;
one 6.inch and three 6-pounders.
The Neasco took no part in the &C.
ton. but was hit by stray shell and
was sunk by the Spaniards.
The Argos was also out OF the fight,
but was struck by large shell and was
scuttled by the Spaniards.

The following points. in connection
with the examination of the Spanish
ships. are emphasized by Lieutenant
Elliott:
First-The sides of iron and steel.
huilt cruisers do not arrest projectiles
enough to explode them.
Second--The incendiary effect Of
bursting S-inch shells is great. and far
greater than would seem proportionate
to that of lower caliteIs.
Third-At ranges over 2. 500 yards,
the gun shields of cruisers are in no
sense a protection. but insure the
annihilation OF the guns crew and the
disabling of the gun if struck by large
projectile.
Waiships of the present
day will generally be placed hors de
combat by conflagration and the de-
struction of their personnel before they
are sunk by gun fire.

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY's ORDER
Cortege Carrying Bodies Of Men who
Fell In Cuba and Porto Rico to BE
Appropriately Received.

Washington, April 5.-The president
today issued the following executive
order:
1T is fitting that in behalf of the
nation tribute OF honor be paid to
memories OF the men who lost their
lives in their country's service during
the late war with Spain. 1t is the more
fitting, insamuch as in consonance with
the spirit OF our free institutions and
in obedience to the most exalted
promptings OF patriotism those who
ere sent to other shores to do battle
for their country's honor under thei,
conntry's flag went freely from every
quarter Of our beloved land, each SOL
dier and each sailor parting from home
ties and putting behind him private
interest in the presence Of the stern
emergency OF an unsought war with an
alien foe was an individual type OF the
devotion of the citizen to the state
which makes our nation strong in
unity and in action.
Those who died in another land left
in many homes the undying memory
that attends heroes in all ages. It
was fitting that with the advent Of
peace, won by their sacrifices, their
bodies should be gathered with tender
care and restored to home and kin.

Colonel Gruble, of the Second i'm.

Beef Market on tho Yukon.
The great beef trust which sold meat
at Dawson for $3.50 per pound last
year is now almost forgotten and prices
are about as low as they are in the
states. The poorest beef sells at is
cents and the best at 25 cents per
pound to the quarter. One thing that
has forced down the prices is the order
that all beef that is not kept in refrig-
orators by May will be condem ned
and must be thrown away. There are
no refrigerators at Dawson, and none
in course Of construction, so that the
prices will probably go still lower.
