landed by Admiral Montejo in Ma

Commodore Dewey'a aiders were to
Ware or destroy the Spanish fleet,
bd sever were instructions executed
w complete fashion. At the end of
sen hours there waa absolutely
khlag left of the Spanish fleet bat a

kd most skillfully arranged every de-

krently most insignificant featnres
are tarried out with perfect punctual-

At the end of the action Commo

(the blockade, and adding that if a

laniards lost over 600 men Jn killed

mounting to about 14, were destroyed,
ad that their naval arsenal at Cavlte
ai also destroyed, with its defenses,
will become apparent that the vio-
ry of the American commodore is
ke of the most complete and wonder-
11 achievements In the hiatorg ,of
ival warfare.
Not a man on board the American
M was killed, not a ship waa dam-

Ut Amerioaa fleet catered the

eta, the folkwag was their order:
The flagship Olysnpls, the BalUmore.
the Raleigh. Ooncerd, Bestom. Petrel
aad McCulloch. with two atoreahipa.
the Nanahaa sad Zaflro, brlnglag up
the rear. Aad la that order they swept
grandly before the city aad faced the
enemy la column Una.
Though the Spaniards had opened
Are at 1,000 yards, the Amerlcaaa re
served their fire until within 4.000
yards of the enemy, whea the real
battle began.
The Reina Christina, CasUlla, Doe
Antonio Ulloa, Isla de Cuba, Isla da
Luxon and the Mindanao were In line
of battle ouUide of Cavlte at that tune,
wltbfour gunboats and the torpedo
boats inside the harbor.
The American ships then passed back
wards aad forwards six times across
the front of the 8paatards, pouring In
upon the latter a perfect hall of shot
and shell. Every American shot seem
ed to tell, while almost every Spanish
ahot missed the mark.
After having thas scattered death
and demoralitatloa among the Spanish
fleet and the Soaniah haltariM eh
American fleet retired for breakfast.
and Incidentally a council of war was
heH on board the Olympla.
By this time the Spanish ships were
la a desperate condition. The flagship
Reina Christina waa riddled with ahot
and shell, one of her steam pipes had
burst and she was believed to be on
tire. The Castllla waa certainly on
Are, and boob afterward their condition
became worse and worse, until they
were eventually burned to the water's
edge.
The Doa Antonio we Ulloa made a
most magnificent show of desperate
bravery. When her commander found
she waa so torn by the American shells
that ho could not keep her afloat he
nailed ber colors to the mast aad ahe
sank with all hands lighting to the
last Her hull waa completely rid
dled and her uppper deck had been
swept dean by the awful fire of the
Amerioaa guns, but the Spaniards,
though their vessels were sinking be
neath tbem, continued working the
guns on her lower deck until she sank
beneath the waters.
During the engagement a Spanish
torpedo boat crept along the shore and
round the offing In an attempt to at
tack the American ships, but she was
promptly discovered, was driven ashore
and was actually shot to pieces.
The battle, which was started at
about 1:30 a. m. and adjourned at 8:30
a. m, was resumed about noon, when
Commodore Dewey started in to put
the finishing touches of his glorious
work. There was not much light left
In the Spaniards by this time, and
at 2 p. in. the Petrel and Concord had
shot the Cavlte batteries into silence
The Spanish gunboats were then
scuttled, the arsenal was en Are, and
tho explosion of a Spanish magazine
caused further mortality among the
defenders of Spain on shore. .
Only . the cruiser Baltimore - ad
suffered in anyway from the Are of the
enemy. A shot which strack her ex
ploded some ammunition near one of
her guns and slightly injured half a
dosen of the crew. The wounded
sailors are: Lieutenant Frank Woodruff
Kellogg, Ensign Noble Irwin, Cox
swain John Buddinger, Landsman
Robert L. Bartow, Coxswain Edward
Snelgrove, Coxswain William O'Keefe
and Seamen Richard P. Covert and
Rosarlo Ricclardelli.
Qa the other hand, about ISO men
are aaid to have been killed on board
the Spanish flagship, which was to
tally destroyed. Admiral Montejo, the
Spanish commander, transferred his
flag to the Isla de Cuba when his ship
caught fire, but the latter was de
stroyed also in due course of time. The
Reina Christina lost ber captain, a
lieutenant, her chaplain and a mid
shipman by one shot wulch struck her
bridge.
About 100 were allied and 0 wound
ed on board the Castllla. Indeed, some
estimates place the number of Spanish
wounded during the engagement at
over a thousand mc-n.
The Olympla was struck Ave times
about her upper works, and a whale
boat of the Raleigh was smashed. Al
though the Krupp gens on the Esplan
ade of Manila were fired continuously
during the engagement. Commodore
Dewey did not reply to them, and the
battery afterward hoisted a white flag
in token of surrender.
The forts at the entrance of the bay
were dismantled on Wednesday, after
they had capitulated.

' Washington, May 10. Fitting tribute
was paid by the senate yesterday to
Commodore Dewey for the magnificent
victory he achieved In the battle of
Manila bay. A message from the presi
dent waa received recommending that
a vote of thanks be extended bv con
gress to Commodore Dewey and the
gallant officers and men of his com
mand. Without a word of debate and
without a dissenting voice the senate
agreed to the resolution carrying Jnto
effect the recommendation of the presi
dent. The senate went farther even than
that A bill was presented Increasing
the number of rear admirals in the
navy from six to seven. In order that
the president might nominate Commo
dore Dewey to the highest position in
the navy within his gift, and that too,
was passed without dissent In addi
tion a Joint resolution was unanimously
agreed to directing the secretary of
the navy to. present to .Commodore
Dewey a sword of honor and to have
struck, In commemoration of the bat
tle of Manila, a bronse medal for each
of the officers and men who partici
pated in the gallant fight The resolu
tion appropriates 110,000 to enable the
secretary to carry Its provisions Into

The house speedily passed the above
measures without debate, as . well as

best aathorlty for the statement that
the navy department does not expect
to hear from Admiral Sampson within
several days. The authority for this
statement la fully x acquainted with
Admiral Sampson's plana, and the re
mark would seem to Indicate that the
admiral, having failed' to And the
enemy at the place expected, had turn
ed hla atteatlon to the alternative pro

as to the safety of the American fleet
nor of any vessel of the fleet.
The war department yesterday Issued
orders showing where the various state
volunteer organisations are to be con
centrated. The order Is thousht to
warrant the assumption that the de
partment contemplates a speedy move
meat of the United States military
forree upon Cuba, and in much greater
force than waa originally planned.
It Is the expectation that the firs:
regiments organised and reported from,
the states will be sent to Chattanooga,
thence going to Cuba via Mobile,
Tampa, New Orleans and Galveston,
tor expeditions will be dispatched from
each of these ports. Probably about
one-third of the entire levy called for
by the president, or about 40,000 troops,
will constitute the force to be sent
south to take part In the first Cuban
service, following the regular army
forces. These troops will be the first
to receive their equipment
The second contingent. Including six
regiments and two troops of New York
volunteers, are assigned to duty under
command of the department of the
east, commanding coast defenses and
reserves, which probably will result in
their employment In New York harbor
and along the shores et Long Island
sound. In the case of Pennsylvania
Ave regiments, two battalions and two
troops are also aaalgned to duty In the
department of the east, which will
place them along tbe shores of the
Delaware bay and river as coast sruard
to protect the Important shipping In
terests of that section.
When these are equipped the govern
ment will turn Its attention to the
third flans, comprising the last third f
the Ud.OOO volunteers called for. It is
the alncere hope of the war department
that it will not be called upon to fully
equip these troops before hostilities are
at an end. It may be remarked, by the
way, that out of the Arst clans will
come the troops which will be sent to
the Philippine Islands.

11,000 and 7,000 Springfield rides, about
200,000 rounds of ammunition aitd sev

that the expedition will te headed fur

DON CAKL0S BITTER.
The Freteader Vigorously Aaaalls the
Spaalaa Government Leaders.
Brussels, May 10. Don Carlos, the
Spanish' pretender. In the course of a
long Interview, said: "When I left
Venice about the middle of April I had
In contemplation a desperate and un
questionably hasardous enterprise, un
likely perhaps to further my own
dynastic Interests, but sure to force the
hands of the cowardly officials who are
shrinking from 4he responsibility of
upholding vl et armls the intensity of
the Spanish dominions. The declara
tion of war made me pause. I found
myself Imperatively constrained to
await events. Up to the present these
have proved disastrous. The Incidents
In Cuba and Manila have revealed neg
lected defenses, venal administration,
a prevalent substitution of personal for
national Interests, corruption fostered
by party government, generously voted
millions diverted from the fulfilment of
their patriotic purpose to the pockets
ef fraudulent contractors and dishonest
state employes, and disorder, pecula
tion, mendactly In every department in
the public service.
"The queen regent has been a mere
puppet In the hands of Incompetent
and self seeking ministers. She has
prlved herself a fond mother, but a fee
ble queen. Being a foreigner she failed
to understand the Spanish character,
and sounded the wrong note. She
should have exhorted the Spaniards
to rally round Spain, and not round
Alfonso."

Milan. May 10. Calm reigns again,
though for the lost two days this city
has been In the throes of revolution, 1
with all Its horrors and all Its sadness.
Certain quarters today present a scene
of complete devastation. In others, the
quietness of terrorism reigns, and this
Is the more striking when contrasted In
the mind of the spectator with the
scenes of Sunday and the day before,
when, above the shrieks of the dying,
rose the wails of the widows, and or
phans, the hoarse words of command
and the Irresistible tramp of soldiers, i
followed by the terrible boom of can
non. When the fury first broke out, many !
people who wanted nothing to do with
the movement were caught, as It were.
In a trap. Here Is an Instance: When
the soldiers were advancing to the ,
charge against the first barricade In
the Via Torino, a lady, young, richly ,
dressed dressed and stiff with terror,,
was struck by a bullet In the breast.
She fell against the wall, only having
time to exclalme "Mother" before dy-)
Ing. In the same way old people, un-1
able to resist the rush, were shot oi
trampled under foot.
At another point, a fine carriage,
with horses wild with fright, was stop
ped by the mob, and Its occupant, a
IbHv m fi, roit.lv remnvori anrf wi i
to find her way home an best Bhe could.
The carriage was used to carry the
wounded to the hospital. At the ren-'
tral station the engine drivers and,
guards refused to leave their families
to the meny of the mob. However.'
after a delay of 40 minutes, the troops
obliged them to go on with tho trains.
The fighting was In real earnest, and
the soldiers were received as foreign
Invaders. Pools of blood were seen In
the street, and often also the m'attnr
ed hralns ot the killed. Tbe Tteil rns
service organized Its members, wear
ing the badge, and succored the
wounded ami dying.
Many people had exceedingly narrow
escaes, the firing coming Just as the
schools had closed at noon. Parents
TUsbed about In an agnny of pain. Th
wotnen, Instead of restraining th men.
egged them on 4o greater excesses an.1
even allowed their children to partici
pate. Some even pushed themselves
under the notes of the soldiers, crying.
"Cowards!" "Asaapulns!" "We work all
day to snalntaln you In Idleness." and
raising similar pretests.
When the mob Invaded the Centra!
railway station the express for Turin
was Jurt on the point of leaving. The
rioters when they saw It cried: "Look'
look! They are going to Turin for the
fetes of the Jubilee of the constitution.
They are going to enjoy themselves.
Shame! shame! Come hack! come
back!" and so on. Meanwhile th
train odvanred. but very slowly, and
hundreds of people threw themselves
upon the track m front of the engine,
screaming: "Come on! but over our
bodies.'"
A very noticeable point throughout
the two days' fighting has been that
the worklngman element, although
without adequate means, offensive anil
defensrre. has shown extraordinary
tactical knowledge, a proof, among
others, that organisation existed and
that preparations hail been made, per
haps not for an explosion now, but at
the first opportune moment. Thirteen
barricades were built by the mob at
the Corso (laribaldi. where this main
street Is Intersected by others, forming
a small square.
