Brief Review of May Day Contest In Manila Bay, "when Dewey Gave to4 America a' New Island f Empire. May 1, four yeara ago, Admiral Dowey von his memorable victory In Manila bay that gave to tills coun try a now Island empire in thoMar East. The enthusiasm with which tho news of that victory was hailed In the United States has seldom If ever been equaled slnfc tho day that marked the close of the Ions civil war. So great has been Its effect on ADMIRAL GEORGE DEWEY. Americau policies that we can afford to pauso for a moment to rehcarBO Its important details. Tho admiral, then a commodore, was a man of action, and no soonor did he receive the news that war bad been declared than ho sailed from Hong Kong with his squadron. The Spanish licet was lying at Ca- vlte, in Manila bay, when the Intrepid American sailor entered to glvo bat tle. He was an unexpected guest, tho Spaniards not being used to such en ergy as it took to put the American fleet Into tho Philippine harbor at so early a date. They had failed to pre pare for his reception, and ho sailed past Corregidor island, containing what was supposedly Impregnablo de fenses, almost beforo tho garrison were awaro of his presence In the vicinity. It was not until his last ship was well past that they thought to give battle to tho daring Yankees, and then sent a few harmless shots after them. Day had not yet broken when Cavlto was reached, and Dewey quietly wait ed its coming. When the sun rose In the east, instead of immediately be ginning the destruction of tho Span ish ships that lay before him, the daring sailor man preferred to play with his enemy, and so weighed an chor and sailed up to tho defenses Of Manila, with which he exchanged a few shots as a matter of interna tional courtesy, then returned to glvo more detailed attention to the Span ish fleet. It was early, evon, when he got back again to Cavlte, so early that it was only 19 minutes past 6 when, with tho Olympla 6,1500 yards from tho enemy's ships, he uttered those historic words: 'When you are ready, Grldloy, tire!" Instantly tho 8-lnch guns ,oJ .the good cruiser, broke forth in smoke- and flame, and began raining a shower of steel projectiles upon tho Spanish ships. Gradually tho American fleet drow cIost. Submarine mines ex ploded In front of them, but they did not wnver. Thp Spanish gunners an swered the challenge of the Olympiad guns with a shower of projectile of equal size, but without dolnii any con iltlarable damage. Aa the Americau boats got within closer range tho smaller guns added their roar to that of the larger ones, and the terrific firo was kept up until 7:35, when Dw.y felt that he had had enough for a bo glnnor. and, not wanting to upoll a good thing too soon, quit for brenk fast and a pull at the pipe or cigar. H vas not until 10:3i that he again wont at the Spaniards. He had fur nished suniclent sport for his sailor men, and now intended to finish the Job In a hurry, and put the enemy out of their misery without further loss of time, and boforo It could In terfere with his dinner arrangements. The midday meal would be served aboard" the flag ship at 1. and It was necossary that the Job bo completed and the muss cleared tip before that time. To acompllsh this, every gun, big and little, that could bo brought Into play was used, and it was but little moro than an hour before all ot tho Spanish ships were either ly ing at the bottom of the bay or des troyed, and at 12:30 a white tlag was run up over the Spanish batteries at Cavlte to proclaim their surrender. As they do things on board an American man-of-war, thirty minutes was ample time In which to attend to tho wants of the few slightly wounded, and prepare dinner, to which Admiral Montojo was Invited, but declined. The Spanish loss was twelve ships their entire Asiatic squadron and 618 men either killed or wounded. For that little morning's work Ad miral Dowey gave to the United States something like 125,000 square miles of territory, and secured for himself tho thanks of the American people, and the rank of admiral lu the American navy and not an Am erican sailor man killed or an Ameri can vessel seriously Injured. Tho Spanish flag that came down at Cavlte thai day was never to rise again in the Philippines., DISASTROUS SANTA FE WRECK. Five Persons Killed and Twenty-three Others Injured, Keokuk, la., April 30.
