cord swung past Manila it fred two shells at
the lunette battery. These were the only
shots fred toward the city. Our squadron
kept moving, the speed increased to eight
knots, to the Spanish feet at Cavite, six
miles distant. When the Olympia reached
a point about 5000 yards from the Spanish
position it opened with its forward turret
guns, the only guns which could be brought
to bear.
t'The Olympia kept up this fire until a
point was reached where our squadron could
turn and pass parallel to the Spaniards, at a
distance of about 5000 yards. The Olympia
was some 20 minutes under fire from the
lunette battery, the feet at Cavite, and the
batteries on Sangley Point before it reached
a position from which its FIRE could certainly
be effective.

The story of the battle of Manila reads
almost like piece of fiction. On the morn
ing of May l, 1898, Commodore Dewey
steamed into the harbor. His squadron
consisted of the cruiser Olympia (fiagship),
Raleigh, Baltimore and Boston, and gun
boats Concord and Petrol, and the revenue
cutter McCulloch, with two transports.
Here he met the Spanish feet, consisting of
the Reina Cristina, Castillo, Don Antonio
de Ulloa, Isla de Luzon, Isla de Cuba, Gen.
LEO, Marquis de Duero, Cano, Velasco, Isla
de Mindanao, some small gunboats and a
transport. The total tonnage of the Amer.
lean feet was l9,O9s tons and that of the
Spanish real fighting ships was S,722 tons,
but the latter had the support of heavy, and

STORY OF THE BATTLE.

Told in a Few Words by Capt. Cogh-
Ian, of the Raleigh.
Capt. Joseph B. Coghlan, who commanded
the cruiser Raleigh during the battle, has
furnished what is perhaps the best short ac-
count of the famous engagement. He says:
.sThe Olympia, at about ll:50 Of April
80, passed Ell Fraile rock, small islet near
the southern side of the entrance, upon

well-mounted shore batteries. The result
of the battle was the entire destruction of all
the Spanish vessels and the silencing of the
land batteries. Commodore Dewey did not
lose ship nor man, while the Spanish lost
their entire fleet, commanded by Admiral
Montojo Trillo, and from GOO to 700 men.

stove fell under a book case and the fire
quickly spread to the books and when
the firemen arrived had gained consider

of the library as possible, which is a
valuable collection of rare books, Chief
Sanger ordered the men to use chemicals

work the flames We're extinguished, n

promising the chief that he would watch
the smouldering books, but in the ex-
element the rabbi forgot about his
promise, and in a few minutes the fire
had broken out afresh, and a second
alarm was turned in and this time the

library was insured for 50, 900. The build
