May l four years
ago Admiral Dewey
won his memorable
Battle
Manila Bay

try new island en-
pire in the far east.
The enthusiasm with which the news Of
that victory was hailed in the United States
has seldom, if ever, been equaled since the
day that marked the close of the long civil
war. So great has been its effect upon
American policies that we can afford to
pause for moment to rehearse its impor-
tant details.
The admiral, then a commodore, was a
man OF action, and no sooner did he re-
ceive the news that war had been declared
than he sailed from Hong Kong with his
squadron, consisting of the Olympia, his
flagship, Capt. Charles V. Gridley; the Ra-
leigh, Capt. Joseph b. Coghlan; the Balti-
more, Capt. Nehemiah NJ. Dyer; the Bos-
ton, Capt. Frank Wildes; the Monocacy,
Commander Oscar w. Farenholt; the Con-
cord, Commander Asa Walker, and the Pc
trel, Commander Edward p. Wood, for
Manila.
The Spanish feet was lying at Cavte in
Manila bay when the intrepid American
sailor entered to give battle. He was an

SCHOOL sy.tem E.tnbIi.hed.

A department of public instruction for
the Philippines was established at Manila
on January 81, 1901, and rapid progress was
made during the year in the organization
of free public schools. Some 500 teachers
were sent to the islands from the United
States. English was made the official LAM
guage of the schools.

lands Mndanao is the largest with 46,52l
square miles, and Luzon second with A.
600 square miles. Either of these are larger
than Ireland. Among the others of the
larger islands are Mndoro, Panay, Samar,
Masbate, Negros, Cebu, Leyts- Bohol and
Palauan. These vary considerably in size,
averaging from 5000 square miles down to
less than 1900. Of the more than 1000 is
lands there are only some 600 that are in
habted, or are large enough to support
a population of any size, the majority OF
the others being but mere rocks or reefs.

Climate Of the Philippines.

A weather record kept in Manila between
the years lSS3-9S shows that the tempera-
ture never went beyond the l00degree
point and never fell below 60. The annual
mean temperature is given as about 80 de-
grees.

declined.
The Spanish loss was IL ships-their en-

Dewey gave to the United States something
like $4,000 square miles of territory, and
secured for himself the thanks of the Amer.

 & Co.,
 New York May 26-There is likely to be a narrow market for some days. On Thursday the exchange closes for the decoration holiday, so that there Will be only four days of business this week Then a week from tomorrow the govern ment report appears, and this will pre- vent much speculation on either side of the market.
 Everyone will want to know what the condition of the crop is compared with previous years, and will not buy or sell freely The absence of anything like re- ceipts of cotton on the side helps the price, while good crop news works against the market. It is a question now which will win out. The market is re- duced to these two factors and there fore more simple than for some time. As long as crop news Is good prices will not advance much. A change is likely to start things up. But as long as receipts are so small we do not anticipate much of a break. The market may easily run around within 20-point radius for some days On a break we would work for a reaction. as there will be in cotton from the present outlook no big money for a few days A scalping market with TO ma terial change until after the government report.
