Now that the Spanish Asiatic fleet has been wiped out of existence and all anx iety as to the outcome of the present con troversy haa quieted down, Imslnesg men are of the firm opinion that ll Is time to proceed with Internal Improvements. They say that It is safe to let the usual seaside festivities take pluee and that there is every reason why progress In Astoria I hould not lie retarded.

The news of the victory of Commodore Dewey over the Spanish fleet at Manila was hailed in Astoria with unbounded enthusiasm. No sooner had the dispatches announcing the victory been posted out side the Astorlan offli e Sunday night than a crowd blockaded the sidewalk and the glad news was read aloud to those who were unable to get near enough to read the bulletin board. The cheer that greet ed the news when the bulletins were read (could be heard all over the city. Nothing else than war news was discussed dur ing the night and people were loath to 1'av ,he bulletin hoard, many staying ln ,h" vlrln"y u" ""' ""ing. Kvery- , " I"""""-" wwraeo. up to a mgn plteh and the news passed through the : ity like a flash that "Dewey was Dewey ing 'em." It became known yesterday that several Astorlan were on hoard the Asiatic squadron and participated In the 'battle at the Philippines. The Astorlan who took part in the engagement are: ; Lieutenant Commander Reese, uncle of j.Mrs. J. W.

At the Presbyterian church Sunday evening the Rev. Or, Hill of Portland delivered one of the most eloquent ser mon ever heard In thl city. As an nounced, It wa a special addres o the naval reserve company of Astoria, In the commencement of hi discourse the doctor laid down the principle that Presi dent McKlnley wa vntltUM to unequivo cal Mipixirt. He tsled that It wa an Impossibility for the people on the Paclitc coast, thousand of mile away from the scene of action, to determine the proper rules for action. We censured President McKlnley, but he was on the ground and his cabinet official with hint knew what necessary lo be dime. It ludicrous for us to attempt to dictate. President Lincoln was accused of dllatorlnea and treachery, but he wa grandly vindicated by result which proved m fr-lglued- nesa and prudence. Supixirt those In charge of affairs and patriotism will best be served by all. lr. Hill took for his text N'chcmtah lv., xiv.: "He not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which I great and terrible, and tight for your brethern, your son and your daughter, your wive and your houses," Jerusalem had been destroyed. It leading men. statesmen, artisan had been taken Into captivity. Among them wa Nchemlah, the pro phet, liy car and painstaking he worked Into the good grace of King Partus, and n f in i it i' i n ir, iiinii ni i in sin iim ii y In the kingdom. All thl power and glory he sacrificed 1n order to return to his people at Jerusalem. He obtained pa rtus' permission to rebuild the wall of hi native city. That patriotism which t continuous In peace or war led him to return. At Jerusalem Nchemlah found all In a state of choas. The elder and leading men were oppressing the com mon people. He called the leaders to gether and told them that oppression must stop. It did stop. He was a patriot who left gold behind him In Habylon to bring freedom to hi native land. His work was done In a time of peace, when patriotism I most frequently demanded. He rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem city, whilst the a mile of tealou nation sur rounded It. He had a Just war and wa on the Lord' ide. so be triumphed. "I our battle cry In the present con troversy to be 'Remember the Maine'! If that Is to be our watchword we are only savage. We may lose thousands and will probably kill thousand, but not one of them will re tore a single man lost on the Maine. It would be but a war of revenge. Our war cry Is "Humanity'. We are trying to stop oppression and cruelty. History shows that Spain ever since Cortes first landed on American soil, has been an oppressor to the ex tremes of cruelty of those under her con trol. What did he do In tne Nether lands? What has he done In Culm and the Philippine? ""Humanity and liberty make our Just cause for war and will be the battle cry of our Christian soldier and sailor." The preacher described In graphic terms the horrors of wur and heroism on the held of battle. It required the true patriotism, he said, for that officer in the late rebellion, who at the Jovial table in the commander's tent, where round after round of toasts had been given, to stand up before his fellow officers who had been . making all sort of boasts against the i enemy, and toast to tnetr sweetneans i and friend, and with a glass of water propose "To our mother." That every J man reached for water was evidence that , the action was appreciated. Wellington. Grant, Sheridan. Sherman. all were opposed to war but when they had to fight were victors They knew or the detail, the ambulance trains. tvs pltals. and other sights generally kept from the public. When President Lincoln was asked II he thought thu Lord was on his side In the controversy then g.ng on. replied. "I don't know, but I am try ing to find out if I am on the Ird's sale." The minister closed one of the most eloquent discourses ever heard In an As toria church with the statement that he believed our present course wa one of right and Justice anil that the t'nited State waa on the Iru side.

Business of Importance. R VAN" Dl'SK.N". Secretary. SPAIN'S TRADE. New York, May 2.-A World dispab h from London says: H. W. Harrison, commercial attache of the British embassy at Madrid report to the foreign office: "Statistics of the trade of Spain show that the year 1K7 ha been no more for tunate than the preceding one. The trade Is depressed by present difficulties and dread of the future. Manufacturers, merchants and workmen all suffer di rectly from the troubles of their own and the accumulation of misfortunes exer cises It natural lnfluenie on commerce In spite of the change of government during the last autumn, financial and trade questions remained unaltered and the nosltlon has been aggravated dally by the fact that the resources obtained under such difficulties are being rapidly extended. A prices Increase consump tion decrease. Industry languishes ami affecting all classes of population. The rise of nn exchange on foreign countries, the ensls In agriculture, the heavy t iX'-s and high duties imposed bv the tariff now ln force have decreased imports and lend to limit them to absolute nec essities, ar ticles that cannot be produced cheaply at home. Exports, nlthough tic y have re covered during the recent year the loss suffered after the renunciation of commercial treaties, are not really as beneficial to the producer ns tiny ap pear. The want of capital and the con- I sequent necessity to sell at once makes the market a ready prey to the spedi- ; lator. who gets the e-reater share of the I profits, rirent Britain and France hold i nearly half the commerce of Spain. Of ! the Spanish colonies. Cuba has pi per , rent. Porto Rico 4 per cent and the Phil- I Ippine 3.9 per cent. The large Imports from the I'nlted State consist chiefly of lumber and raw cotton."
