ADMIRAL MONTOJO DEAD.
Dewey's Opponent at Manila, Who Was De-.
graded by His Government.

Madrid, (By Cable The. death is
announced of Vice Admiral Jose Mon
toto.
Admiral Montojo had command of
the Spanish feet in Manila Bay that
was defeated by Admiral Dewey. The
official report he made to his govern
ment showed him to be a very simple
and brave officer As that report recites,
he fired his guns until there were no
gunners left to fire them, passed, when
his ship was shot from under him, to
another watched his little squadron go
to the bottom around him, and in the
end, when the fight was done, he re-
treated, indeed, but as lion does, his
face to the foe. The account is infinitely
pathetic. He was tried before the Su-
preme Court of Spain, and condemned
to retirement without the right of pro-
motion, September %, 1890. He has
been living on his estates quietly since
then.
