In God's broad daylight, In a square open tight, We made thein remember the Maine. Hong Kong, China, May 12.—When his tory speaks of great naval en gagements, the battle of Manila, fought on Sunday, May 1, USPS, will rank among the first. Beside it that of Trafalgar faded into insignificance, for not there nor at any other place has such a victory crowned the efforts of a fleet. With shot and shell pouring from forts and warships, with leaden hail falling in sheets upon the decks, wl'h torpedoes ready to do their deadly work and in a harbor thickly studded with mines, not a single man was lost on the American side. With a fearlessness that is a marvel to the whole civilized world, Admiral Dewey kept on, himself in the place where the danger was greatest. He gave his commands as coolly as if on parade, and the resolute daring in his every act and the acts of the other raptains and officers communicated to the crew. They evaded and fired with a steadiness and precision that was grand. The inevitable followed. Not a single American vessel was damaged. Euch one that took part in the engagement is in condition to go into and then fight with the flower of Spain's navy at that—at a moment's notice. Among the Spanish cruisers and gunboats sunk were the flagship Rcdna Maria Cristina, Castilla, Velasco, Don Juan de Austria, the Isla de Cuba. Gen. Dezo, Marquez del Duero, Mia anao and Ulloa. The Killed end Wounded. One-third of the Spanish fleets' fight ing force was killed or disabled. Ac cording to their own figures they lost 800 killed and dot) wounded. It is even possible that the list of casualties Will be greatly increased. For seven hours and twenty minutes the battle lasted. Beginning with mid night of Saturday, Dewey's fleet of nine vessels started to run the blockade past the forts of Corregidor Island. The fleet consisted of the Olympin, Baltimore, Boston, Concord, Raleigh and Petrel. The other three were the revenue cutter Hugh McCulloch and two transports. In the harbor, protected by the fleet, lay two Spanish torpedo boats. Dur ing the firing and the consequent ex citement, they put out through the smoke to destroy the Olympia, the Bal timore and the Boston. I.ynx-like eyes were watching for them, however, and they were discover ed just as they were leaving the break water. Instantly the Olympiads second bat tery was concentrated upon them. Still the Spaniards came on until the Olympia was less than 500 yards from them. At that point the fire from the Olympia was of the most desperate order and the torpedo boats started to return to shelter. It was too late for the safety of one or them. A solid shot struck her in the stern, if was followed on the instant by a ter rific explosion and a torpedo boat, with nil on hoard, were sent 2iar feet into the air. The other torpedo boat was disabled, but managed to beach. The battle was practically over after that. Spanish vessel after vessel went down under the withering fire poured upon them and gun after gun on the forts became silent. Then, when everything was well in hand, the Petrel was sent into the inner harbor, behind the fortifications, and destroyed all the warships not al- 1 ready fired. ' : SUMMARY OF THE NEWS. Steamers from the Canary Islands have reached Liverpool with the report lliat the American Consul at Las Talmas, Canary Islands, bad left suddenly with plans of the harbor. There are 12,000 Spanish troops in Grand Canaria alone. The authorities are pushing forward the forti fications and making desperate attempts to raise revenue, even taking British property without compensation. Admiral Dowey telegraphed to Washing ton suggesting that the surrender of Ma nila be demanded, and that a commission, witlt himself a member, be named to as sume control of the Philippines. The Mc- Culloch has left Hong Kong with instruc tions for Dewey. Foreign diplomats at Washington have unofficially exchanged views as to the ad visability of their governments urging Spain to make peace by giving up Cuba and letting Admiral Dewey hold the Phil ippines pending the payment of a war in demnity. Spain's fleet of five powerful modern war ships at Cadiz—the battleships i'elayo and Vitoria, the armored cruisers Entperador Carlos V. and Cardenal Cisneros and the protected cruiser Alfonso Xlll.—may sail for the United States May 15.

Captain Wiley, of General Shatter's staff, has arrived in Washington witli im portant information for Gencrai Miles on matters connected with the impending in vasion of Cuba. A Madrid special to a Loudon newspaper said the Spanish Government was willing to cede Cuba to the United States, but was unwilling to pay a war indemnity because unable to do so. Gen. Blanco lias cabled an urgent re quest to Madrid for considerable supplies of provisions, which the Government can not dispatch until the Cortes votes the war measure. "Joe" Wheeler and Eitzhugh Lee were sworn iti as major-generals in the United States Volunteer Army. Gen. Wheeler is the first ex-Confederate to join the army. Flower, tea, coffee and tobacco have gone up in price, and while a loaf of bread costs the same as in peace times, the loaf is getting lighter. It is announced from Vienna that Aus tria will not attempt intervention in behalf of Spain unless there is concerted action by the powers. Don Carlos said in Brussels he would not aid any Spanish revolution anil would check agitation by his friends while the war lasts. l'resident Dole offered the Hawaiian Islands to President McKinley for war pur poses, promising coal and munitions of war. A censored dispatch from Madrid reports that the Spanish have evacuated Manila, taking their arms, ammunition and stores. President McKinley told a friend I hat the war with Spain would not be one of territorial acquisition. Theodore Roosevelt lias left Washing ton for San Antonio, Tex., to join his regi ment of rough rideis. Admiral Sampson and his fleet, it is said at Washington, will soon return to the blockade of Cuba. Spaniards killed Col. Juan Delgado, one of Cuba's bravest leaders, at El Cano, and tore out his eyes. Ex-Queen Isabella, who is in Paris, liaa gone into mourning for the Spanish sailors lost at Manila.

London, May 12.—The Milan correspon dent of the Daily News, telegraphing las! night, said: "I am unable at this moment to send more tlian a few words. A fresh and more rigid censorship has been estab lished. The forced silence is most ominous. Any official accounts of the restoration ol order must be received with all reserve. The rebels are besieging Milan." It is well known tli.it the outbreak ir. Italy arises from far deeper causes than the rise in the price of bread. This it merely a pretext, the last straw breaking the back of submission to a system which for more than a centuary lias ground down the country. The Government is endeavoring to re press the rising with stern severity. Its i success depends upon the loyalty of the ' troops. If this breaks down an era of an archy comparable vith the French Revolu-1 tion must be seriously apprehended. The Rome correspondent of the Times ; telegraphs that it is believed that matters! are getting steadily worse. Travelers ar riving from Milan report that the troops are j firing on every group of persons in the ' streets. Fighting is going on from the I roofs of houses and in the houses them selves, especially in the suburbs. It is reported that several hundred per sons were killed iu the lighting on Satur day, more 011 Sunday, and the greatest number 011 Monday. * Geneva.
