(From a private letter from, past assistant engineer E. L. Bcatcb of tbe cruiser Baltimore, of Dewey's fleet.) ' We feel that we bave bad a great vic tory here which we ascribe to several causes.,. First, tbe Spaniard ia always behind tbe times. He knew tbat an American fleet was expected, and was so aare of bis tremendous superiority, that be took absolutely no precauiton. Tbe uigbt we ran by tbe forts (in tbe early morning oi the engagVmsnt) tbe Spanish officers were all at a grand ball. The entrance to, the harbor was planted with" torpedoes. He thought tbat waa enough, and bad no patrol, picket-boata. or torpedo-boats on guard. Tbe result is tbat we ran by their magnificent guns guarding the entrance to Manila Bay and were out of range inside before tbe Spaniards knew it. ' . Aootner reason for our . success is due to Commodore Dewey's orders. Not one of tbe ships bad aoy intimation that we would run by tbe forts as we did oa Hi thirty miles away, when the Comma. doe save tbe order. We were by tbe Bpa-?h lot and at the fleet by 5:30 uj. on Suuday, Hay I. Tbey .were tea sr.ii nroog carrying no modern guns 4 in ai.i. h we opposed a superior Beet, of 'x efiio-t carrying 135 gone.

' Ia number of men engaged tbey were undoubtedly far superior to us. - Tbe Span:ards . were absolutely eon fideatof vtcturv. So other outcome was anticipated by them: no preparation was made for a different resuU. I tbiok that their ships, combined with ttieir fort-, msde them equal to ns no far ae powers of offense and . defense were concerned they bad as many mod ern guns approximating to tbe earns -ize as we -bad and more men to fire them. ;Ttiey should have been able to have fired as much, weight of shot in a vpeeified time as we did Every. ahot jfired from . ear fleet- wss debberateiy.teoolly- ani pitilessly aimed. TbeSpanisidefked an enormous namber of times, but With apparently lbs most impracticable aim. - fchells dropped all around our ships. We were in sction for over four hours- Hundreds of shot and shell fell close to ur. Only five or six pierced as and they did no damage. f llie damage done by ' our ships was aightful.- I bsvs visited all of the sunk en Spanish sains, and bad I not seen tbe effect of American marksmanship I would bardi give-credit to reports of it. One amokeslacB of the Caetilla.e 3,300 ton Spanish ship; was struck eight times snd the shells through the hull were so many and soclos, that it is impossible tbat a Spaniard could live on : her deck. The other large ship the Eeina Crietioa, was perforated in the same way. , We didn't employ much tactics . be cause there wasn't much need for them. There were the enemy, and we went for them bullbeadedly, anJ made them ex ceedingly sick.' ,' 'n i ,r ' . , .", ' .Tbe lesson I draw from the fight is ths great , utility ef target practice. . Tbe Spaniard baa none; we bave it every three monibe.- Strength' of nsvies are compared generally ship for (hip. Tbe personnel is just as important. ' ' '- ' I am confident that bad we manned tbe Spanish ships and bad ths Spaniards manned our fleet tbe American side would bave been t victorious as It wss. " The Spaniard certainly was brave, for be stuck to his gam to the last . ' ' Fiom tbe World.

They exceed last years exports by mora than $150,000,000. Tbey ex ceed those of tha year before by more than $250,000,000. All this Is money dag out ol tbe soil and poured into tbe laps ot our fanners. At tbe same tuna our ax porta of manu factured products nave incieased ta still greater proportion, while our Imports. representing our purchases from other nations, bave encrmoualy fallen off.

"o wonder tbat oar 4 per cents are at a premium of 22 per cent, ia tbe open market la spite of war expenditures and an impending loan of halt a billion dollars.

Foolish some day be will wish to send oat white flag, and if it is treated ia like manner it will be a sorry day for Blanco. Tbe Dkmocxat doesn't wish to be critical, but la its jadgment Havana should bars besn attacked immediately after war was declared, snd with a will and not oa tbe peace plan. Thia is also tbe judgment of shrewd eastern ansa la a position to know tbe situation. Un doubtedly a big mistake baa been made in this respect, Waeaa though better judge later, wbea the preesat policy given a fair trial, wbicb it la entitled to without too much fault finding.
