Washington, July 13, The navy department has received this dis patch: "Agninaldo informed me that hia troops had taken all the Subig bay porta except the Isla Grande, which they were prevented from taking by the Germau maD-of-war Irene. On July 7th the Raleigh and Concord went there; they took the island and about 3,000 men, with arms and ammunition. There waB no resistance. Tim Irene re tired from the bay on their arrival I shall send the Boston to help Aguinaldo. It is not practicable to send to Guam. No troop ves sels are available. " Dewey." The administration is very muoh pleased with the readiness shown by tbe admiral in 1 meeting the grave issue presented td him at ouDig buy, as ,he did. . Naval of- beers, too, were not a little erati- uea at me speedy retirement of the uerman cruiser Irene, after tbe appearance of the Raleigh and concord. A comparison of theshi that the Irene was much superior a.-.a.l as .a 10 euner or tnese two American vessels and in tonnage whs almost as large as the Kaleigh and ('on cord together. From this, it is in. ferred that the retirement of the Irene was for motives of general policy, rather than from aoy dis. position to try conclusions with the two Amerioan ships. In armor, tbe German1 ahio was much strong er than the Americans, but iu guns the Americans had the advantage. ia oinciai quarters nere there appears to be no disposition to look opon tb action of tbe Irene as a menace which will require explanation. It was thought at first tbat this outward show of force on the part of tha Oftrman hips might lead to an inquiry by this government aa tn tha nnnmu of Germany. Thus far, however, mere is no disposition to make such inquiry or to attach much ira portance to. tba incident rABTiccLAiia or tbe affair. Manila.

Washington, Jnly 12.-Mjor De Grandprey, military ' nltaobee of the French embassy, has jaat returned from the Amerioan headquarters near Santia go, where he has been observing, for his Kovernment, the progress of Ibe military operation. Ue paid a glowing tribute to the ability of our soldiers. "I have the most complete admiration for your men," .aid Major De Grandprey to an Associated Pre.s reporter today. "They are a soperb body, individually, and as an army, and I snppo.e tbat not throughout tbe world ia there suoh a splendid lot of fighting men. They are aggressive, eager tor action, never need ing tbe voice of offloers to push them forward.

It ia almoel nn V IT. . uvwu uurupeau armies, wners every movement and move, to meet eaoh so- tion of the enemy, await, ibe initiative of Ibe offioars.

The great victory of Admiral Sampson's fleet has firmly oon vinoed the great powers of Europe that the American navy is far greater in actual force than Ibe powers oredit its theoretical strength. Hneers at tbe Amerioan navy and army bavs given piaoe to commanding respect. Tbe cowardice of tbe French crew In La Bourgogne disaster makes France's situation pitiable and humiliating.
