THE MANILA YICTORY
Why Admiral Dewey Is Honored
the World Over.
Fncth Abnnt tin- Great llnttle Glcnneil
from More Ileeeiit lleportH
Cnvite nml Snntlnito
Ciimiinreil,
111 order to appreciate the naval vic
tory at Cnvite it is needful to recall
the state of things which existed at
the time of the achievement. If the
files of European newspapers and peri
odicals for the mor.tliu of March und
April, 1S0S, he consulted, it will be ob
served that n large majority of reputed
experts were then of the opinion thr.t
the Spaniards would be found decided
ly superior to our countrymen at sea.
Even in England, Admiral Colcmb and
other naval officer showed themselvef
disposed to take a gloomy view of 0111
prospects of success upon the ocean,
owing partly to the fact that Spnh.
was known to possess a number of
armored cruisers built in the best Ei:
ropenn shipyards, but mainly to the
vast extent of the seacoast we should
have to defend on the Pacific as well ns
the Atlantic. On the Pacific, from the
moment that the battleship Oregon was.
ordered to join the essels operating in
home waters, our means of dciense were
nlmost exclusively confuted to the
squadron under Dewey, which had been
stationed in the China seas.
On April 20 a dispatch arrived from
"Washington ordering Dewev to proceed
nt once to the Philippine islands, to be
gin operations against the Spanish ileet
and to capture or destroy it. At two
o clock on the very next day the sail
nig pennant went up, and Dewev's ileet
steered southward across C20 miles of
one cf the roughest seas in the world
which lay between it and the Philip
pines. On April 30 it reached Subig
nay, between which and Muniln lav a
distance of 30 miles. It was learned
that the Spanish sqtmdron lay inside
the Pay of Cnvite, the sides of which
und the entrances to which were known
to be fortified and mined. There
now no doubt that so far as land de
fenses were concerned, Cuvite was fnr
better equipped than was Santiago,
into which the fleet under Admiral
Sampson never ventured to enter.
Commodore Dewey did not stop to in
vestigate the strength of the fort fica
tions threatening the entrances to the
Hay of Cnvite, nor the reality of the
submarine mines alleged to exist, but,
on the very evening of his arrival, that
of April 30, swept into the Hay of Cn
vite, receiving the fire of the fortifica
tions and defying the mines, two of
which exploded, one Immediately ahead
of the flagship. In front of the Ameri
can vessels lay the Spanish squadron,
defended ut the rear and on both flanks
by land batteries. Leaving out the tre
mendous advantage given to the Span
iards by these batteries, let us con
sider the relutlve strength of the naval
forces engaged. Dewey had six fight
ing ships and the revenue cutter Mc
Culloch, which took no part in the ac
tion. The Spaniards had ten fighting
nhlps and two torpedo boats, the hit
ter, however, being practically out of
action. The Aniericuns had 57 classi
lied big guns and 74 rapid-fire and
machine guns; the Spaniards had 52
classified big guns and 72 rapid-fire and
machine guns. The Americans had ten
8-Inch guns, while the lurgest Spanish
guns were C.2 inches. It follows that,
if the land butteries bu disregarded,
Dewey had slightly the advantage in
weight of metal and in heavy guns. As
regards the number of men engaged,
the Spaniards had 1,700 and the Ameri
cans 1,078. The result of the battle
was the annihilation or capture of every
Spanish vessel and the surrender of the
shore batteries. The Spuninrds udinit
ted a loss of 034 hilled und wounded,
while the Americans had not one killed
nnd only eight wounded.
It "is the completeness of the immcdi
ate result which gives Manila n grci:
place in the history of naval battles:
but what adds immensely to its impnr
tnnce is the fact that it involved the
cession by Snain to the United States
of an island empire containing upward
of 8,000,000 inhabitants and possessed
01 immeasurable natural resources. Ao
naval victory in the annals of the world
has brought about the transfer from
one power to another of so large a popti
lation. Colliers eeklv.
GreuteMt Arm-iinl 11 nil Armory.
Pock Island, 111., claims distinction
ns the site of the largest United States
arsenal and armory. It was first oocu
pied by the government as n frontier
fort in and has ever since grown
stentlilv in importance, in ISM it was
made an ordnance depot and in 15f.i
Rock Island arsenal was instituted
During the civil war it was used as 1
military prison. A large proportion v
the supplies and ammunition used dur
ing the recent war witii bpnin were
turned out by the 3,000 men employed
in the government shops connected
with the arsenal. In less than five
months, while the war wns in progress
the expenditures for supplies and
wages aggregated 2,000,000, and the
articles manufactured ranged from
breechloading field guns to tin cups
The Inst congress, pleased with the
work done during the war, has ordered
the establishment at the armorv of
a plant for the making of small arms.

The atmospheric ocean surrounding
the earth is frequently disturbed by
gigantic waves, which are invisible ex
cept when they carry parts of the air,
charged with moisture, up into a colder
atmospheric stratum where sudden
condensation occurs. In this manner,
long, parallel lines of clouds sometimes
make their appearance at a great
height, marking the crests of a ripple
of air waves, running miles above our

STREET CAR ETIQUETTE.
Audible Thank of a Woman Given a
Seat Impels Manjr Men to
Similar Courleny,
That the dispute as to whether a man
shall or shall not give Up his seat ton
woman on the-street car may be decided
in favor of the woman if she gives a
proper acknowledgment of the cour
tesy, every woman who rode on a
crow'ded North State street car one
evening recently firmly believes, says
the Chicago Tribune.
It was mining hard, with a driving
wind. There is a limit even to the ca
pacity of a trolley car. Standing- room
and crowding room seemed exhnusted,
but a short, ruudj'-fuced woman
squeezed her way into the car, dragging
by the hand a smull boy.
A man nrose and gave her Ills seat.
The woman dropped Into it and smiled
beamingly. Adjusting her skirts, she
took the boy on her lap, and, turning to
the right and to the left, bestowing
smiles and nods with equal impartiali
ty, she said in a clenr voice, that wns
heard from one end of the car to the
other:
"Well, renlly, now, I don't know why
it is, but I never get 011 to a street car
but some nice man gets up und gives me
a seut."
The men ducked their heads a little
lower behind the evening miners, but
only for n moment. Simultnneouslv.
umid n general laugh, they arose nnd
offered their seats to the long line of
women hanging on to the strnns. while
the little woman .smiled more henefi-
cently limn ever, and Iter cheery "I told
you so augured a new code of street
car etiquette.

The Poor hns shown himself to be a
first-class lighting man. In fact, the
1'oer victories over the Itrltish soldiers
nre largely accountable for the Eng
lish feeling against them, and in the
bitter warfare against the nation the
success of the Doers hub lxa'ii extraordi
nary. Fewer than -150 Pocrs resisted 12,000
of the fiercest Zulu warriors on Decem
ber 10, JS3S, and 3,00(1 natives were left
dead on the Held, and this with old Hint
lock. President Kruger, ns a boy, helped the
10 Dutchmen hold ofT 2,000 of the men
of Moselitknse, then the most renowned
native enptain in South Africa. The
bravery of the men is shown by the at
tack that 135 of them made on 10,000
Zulus on the Marieo river, driving them
out of the Transvaal.
These are simply better known in
stances of the fighting abilities of the
Pocrs. Every man has" handled n gun
from infancy. In the old days, when n
Poer was not fighting the fierce natives
he wns defending himself from savnge
beasts. Kvery Hoer has been trained in
warfare. They discovered the method
of laagering their weapons, placing
them in a hollow square, which the
Pritish generals have ndopted as the
most successful way of fighting the
nntives. The Pocrs have shown them
selves masters of strategy, the result of
connstant warfare with a cruel nnd
treacherous foe.
