THE STORY OF A GREAT BATTLE Warshlpa Taken Vnavrarea and Mrrcllciualy Riddled—The Spanish Ships at the Bottom of the Sen— Stara and Strlpea to Be Raised Over the Philippines. Washington, May 7.—Dewey's advices in brief are: "The entire Spanish fleet has been destroyed, tlie batteries silenced, Cavite and the arsenal has been seized and Manila can be taken at any hour. Not one American killed, not one warship badly damaged." The Order of Battle. * Hong Kong, May 7.—Tlie order of battle assumed by the Spanish was with all the small craft inside of Cavite harbor, behind the timber breakwater, and the larger ships cruising off Cavite and Manila. No patrol was established nor was any searchlight placed at the entrance to the bay. On Saturday night the American ships crept inside tho bay without being seen until the McCulloch's funnel emitted a spark. Then a few shots were exchanged with Corregidor island, but the fleet never stopped nor slowed down opposite the city until dawn. The Spanish ships then opened fire, supported by the Cavite forts. The McCulloch remained at some distance and the enemy's shells passed, but did not touch her. The cruiser Baltimore suffered the most of any of the American ships. Five or 10 shots took effect in her, but none of her officers or crew wero seriously hurt. Only a few slight injuries were suffered by the American fleet, the worst of which resulted from an explosion of ammunition on the deck of the Baltimore. The other ships of the fleet were practically unhurt. One hundred and fifty Spaniards were killed and many were wounded. The cruiser Reina Christina waa the worst damaged of the Spanish ships and it is believed that she was sunk. The other ships of the Spaniards were quickly riddled by the American fire. The torpedo boats of the Cavite forts were quickly forced to return to that place for shelter. Tlie Cavite arsenal exploded and 40 Spaniards were killed. The forts made a nominal resistance. Tlie city batttery has never capitulated and the Spaniards ashore are defiant. . The Olyinpla I.e.l the Squadron. The Olympia led the squadron into the bay through the channel and the fleet had passed Corregidor island before the Spni-.li perceived them. A r-shot was fired from the battery, to which the Raleigh, the Iloston and the Concord speedily retorted, and Uie battery was almost immediately reduced to silence. The squadron then slowly proceeded up the harbor and when daylight, came tlie town of Manila was seen about five miles distant. The American ships steamed deliberately along in front of Manila, but without opening fire until tlie Spanish cannon from the batteries around the town began firing, and shots began to strike the water around the squadron. Thc Concord fired a few shots more or less as she passed, but the other ships proceeded silently towards Cavite. When nearing Baker bay a sudden upheaval of tho waters occurred a little distance in front of the leading ship, and quickly following this a second waterspout showed that tlie Spaniards had tired a couple of torpedoes, hut their efforts to blow up the ships were absolutely unsuccessful. Almost immediately the guns in the Cavite battery burst into a heavy cannonading. The shells fell in the neighborhood of the Olympia, but the majority of them fell short and were badly aimed. The squadron then drew nearer in toward the Spanish fleet and the battle began in real earnest. Dewey Risked the Mines. Tho American Bhips entered by the southern channel by Faballo and Frisle islets, which were fortified. Commodore Dewey resolved to risk the mines whieh wero supposed to block the channel. The islnnd forts fired, but not together. Replying with a few shells, the squadron proceeded without stopping or changing its course. The order of tho vessels was as follows: Olympia, Ilaltimore, Raleigh, Concord, Boston, Petrel, McCulloch, Nnn- shan and Zcalim, and thus they steamed to the center of the hay. Sought the Spanish Squadron. They passed before the city, seeking the Spanish squadron, and found them near the entrance of Baker bay, backed and flanked by the Cavite fortifications, with the two torpedo boats and four gunboats inside the mole, which served as protection, while the Reina Christina, Castilla, Isla de Cuba, Don Antonio de Ulloa, Isla de Luzon and the mail boat Mindanao were drawn up outside. The Spaniards fired the first shot, at 6000 yards, but it was ineffective. The American ship* formed in column line and steamed nearer, reserving their fire until within 4000 yards. They then passed backwards and forwards six limes across the Spaniards' front, pouring in a perfect hail of shot and shell. Kvery shot seemed to tell. Then the Americans retired fast and a council of war took place. Spanish In Desperate Stralta. Tlie Spanish ships were in a desperate condition. Tlie Reina Christina waa riddled and one of her steam pipes had burst. The Castilla was also on fire and both were burned to the water's edge. Tho Don Antonio de Ulloa made a magnificent show of desperate bravery. With the colors nailed to her mast she sank with all hands. Her hull was riddled but the guns were still fired defiantly as the vessel sank beneath the water. A torpedo boat tried to creep along the shore around the offing and attack the Zcalim, Nanshan and McCulloch, all non-combatants, but was driven ashore and shot into bits. The Mindano was run onto the beach and the other small craft retired behind thc mole. Finishing Tonehea. The fight started at 6:30, was adjourned at 8:30 and resumed about noon. The finishing touches were given Cavite by the Vitrei and Concord. The Raleigh grounded twice in shallow water during the engagement. Cavite In Utter Rnlns. Cavite is in utter ruins and also the surroundings. Tlie gunboats liave been scuttled and the arsenal was on fire and exploded, causing great mortality. The commodore of the fleet on board the Reina Christina waa wounded and her captain, lieutenant, chaplain and tho midshipmen were killed by a shell striking the bridge, F.ighty of her crew were killed and 60 wounded. On the Castilla 100 were killed and 60 wounded. Spanish Losses Over lOOO. The Spanish losses aggregate more than a thousand. There were no casualties among the Americans except tliat six of the Baltimore's crew were slightly wounded by one of the enemy's shells striking a shell on the deck and exploding it. There were three shot holes in her upper works, five in the upper works of tlie Olympia and a whaleboat smashed on the Raleigh. No other damage wos done anywhere. The disparity between the injury inflicted on the Spanish fleet and that sustained by the Americans is due to tlie superior guns of the later and the superior marksmanship at long range. The Manila Esplanade Krupp 10-inch guns were fired continuously, but the Americans avoided replying and the battery showed a white flag afterwards. Capitulation Still Unsettled. The terms of capitulation are still unsettled. Commodore Dewey fears rioting hy the rebels if he attempts a bombardment. The forts at tlie entrance to the bar capitulated and were dismantled on Wednesday. The Americans cut the cable, but the Spaniards refused to permit them to use it pending the surrender of the city, and it is therefore not known what is transpiring on shore, THE FIGHT OFF MATANZAS. TWO AMERICAN WAR VESSELS. The Vickabar* and the Cntter Morrill Lured by a Cunning Bait— Shore Batteries Found the Range and Nearly Sunk the Bold Ships Spaniards Sent Out a Small Schooner. -repeatedly. The Vicksburg fired repeat- edly shots from her six-pounder. The Spaniards continued to fire shot and shell for 20 minutes, but the shots were inef. fective. Some of them were so Wild that they aroused the American jackiea to jeers. The Spaniards only ceased firing when the Morrill und Vicksburg were completely out of range. If all tlie Span- lard gunners had been suffering from strabismus their practice could not have been worse. Dnpont and Hornet Had a Brush "With Batteries. Key West, May 7.—The torpedo boat Dupont came in tonight and reported a sharp engagement off Matanzas last night and this morning. The Dupont and auxiliary cruiser Hornet were cruising near the shore last night and when about 600 yards from land, were fired upon by a body of cavalry about 200 strong which was spread along the shore on the lookout for filibustercrs. According to the Dupont's story both vessels returned the fire, scattering the Spanish troops and then bombarded the Matanzas fortifications. There were in the nature of sand blockhouses, nine in number. The bombardment lasted from 4 o'clock to 5:30 'Ilie Dupont men say that their shells toppled over the barricades in course of erection and they are sure that many of the Spanish soldiers were killed as they afterwards Baw wagons taking away dead or wounded. The survivors fled to the hills. This morning the Matanzas fortifications opened Are, sending three 8-inch shells at the Dupont and Hornet. They were lineshots hut the boats were out of range. The Dupont and Hornet then resumed the bomhardment and continued it until 8:30 o'clock. Tlie Dupont men think they have effectually silenced what the big licet left of the fortifications there and thnt in the two engagements thc boats fired about 200 shots. WAR AMGNG SOME WOMEN.

"Has anybody been shot yet!" asked the first speaker. "I really didn't read thc news clearly this morning," was Uie reply.

Key West, Fla., May 8.—Only poor marksmanship on the part of Uie Spaniards saved the Vicksburg and the cutter Morrill from destruction in Havana harbor yesterday morning. For over half an hour Uicy were under the Are of thc guns of the Santa Clara water batteries but both escaped wiUiout material injury, although shrapnel from eight-inch guns exploded all about them and both now show the scars of Uie Spanish bullets. Tho wily Spaniards had arranged a trap to send a couple of our ships to tho bottom. They baited it as a man would bait a trap. A small schooner was sent out from Havana harbor shortly before daylight yesterday morning to draw some of Uie Americans into the ambuscade. The ruse woiked like a charm. The Vicksburg and the Morrill, in the heat of the chum- and in their contempt for Spanish gunnery, walked straight into the trap that had been set for them. Had the Spaniards possessed their souls in patience but five minutes longer not even the bad gun practice would have saved our ships and this morning two moro of our vessels would lie at tho bottom within two lengths of the Maine. I.ured the Warships In. Friday evening the Vicksburg and Morrill, cruising to the west of Morro castle, were tired upon by the big guns of the Cojiniar batteries. Two shots were tired at the Vicksburg and one at the Morrill. Roth vessels, without returning the flic, steamed out of range. Hut yesterday morning the Spaniards had better luck. Tlie schooner they had sent out before daylight ran off to the eastward, hugging the shore and with the wind on her starboard quarter. About three miles east of the entrance of thc liarUir she came over on the port tack. A base fringed the horizon and she was not discovered until three miles off shore, when the Mayflower made her out and signalled the Morrill and Vicksburg. Captain Smith of the Morrill and Commander Tilly of the Vicksburg immediately slapped on all steam and started in pursuit. The schooner instantly put ahout and ran for Morro castle before thp wind. In doing so she would, according to the well-conceived Spanish plot, lead the two American warships directly under the guns of the Santa Cla- ra battery. These works arc a short mile west of Morro and are a part of the harbor defenses. There are two bat- tciies, one at the shore, which has been recently thrown up, of sand and mortar, with wido embrasures for eight-inch guns: the other is on a rocky eminence which juts out into tlio gulf at Uiis point. Thc upper battery mounts mod em 10 inch and 12 inch Krupp guns lie hind a six-foot stone parapet, in front of which nre 20 feet of earthworks and a belting of railroad iron. This battery is considered the most formidable of Havana's defenses except Morro castle. It is masked and has not been absolutely located by the American warships. It is probably due to the fact tliat Uie Spaniards did not desire to expose its position that the Vicksburg and Morrill arc now afloat. Into the Harbor After Her. The Morrill nnd Vicksburg were about six miles from the schooner when Uie chase began. They steamed after her at full speed, thc Morrill leading until wiUiin a mile and a half of the Santa Clara batteries. Commander Smith of tho Vicksburg was the first to realize the danger into which the reckless pursuit had led them. He concluded it was time lo halt and sent a shot across the bow of the Bchoonor. The Spaniard instantly brought his vessel about, but while she was still rolling in thc trough of the sea with her sails flapping, an eight-inch shrapnel shell camo hurling through the air from thc water battery, a mile and a half away. lt passed over the Morrill liotweon Ihe pilot house and smokestack and exploded less than 60 feet on the port quarter. The small shot milled against her side. It was a close call. Two more shots followed in quick MSeSSSion, both shrapnel. One hurst cloao under the starboard quarter, filling the engine room with the smoke of the explosion of the shell nnd tho other, like the first, pasaod over and exploded just beyond. Spaniards Had the Range. Hie Spnnish gunners had the range and their time fuses were accurately sot. Tlie crews of both ships were nt Uieir guns. Lieutenant Craig, who wns in charge of the bow four-inch rapid firo gun of tho Morrill, nsked for nnd obtained permission to return the fire. At the first shot Uie Vicksburg, which wns in the wake of thc Morrill, slightly in shore, sheered off and passed to windward under the Morrill's stern. In the meantime Captain Smith also put his helm to port and was nono too mum, for as the Morrill stood off a solid eight-inrh shot grazed her starbard quarter end kicked up tons of water as it struck n wave 100 yard- beyond. Captain Smith mid afterwards that this wns undoubtedly an ught-lnch armor-piercing projectile, and that it would have passed through the Morrill's boilers had she not changed her course. All thc guns of the water battery were now at work. One of them cut Uie Jacob ladder of the Vicksburg adrift and another carried away a portion of thc rigging. I'lrr Was Returned. As the Morrill nnd the Vicksburg steamed away their nft guns wore used, but only a few shots were fired. The Morrill's six-inch gun waa elevated for 4000 yards and struck the earthworks FLOODS AROUND MULBERRY, Arkansas Town in a Terrible Pre. dlcament. Mulberry, Ark., May 7.—Tals town is in a furore of excitement tonight on account of tho high water.

Atten- Mon is also called to the fact that with •be capture of the Philippines the United States can also claim the Marianne, Palawan and Caroline islands. A foreign diplomat, whose opinion is entitled to consideration, in discussing the situaton, says: "European statesmen are much gratified to note that the United States appears determined to handle the Philippine question ably and strongly. When the newspapers first asserted that only 10.0(10 soldiers were to be sent to reinforce Admiral Dewey and make permanent the fruits of his victory, considerable uneasiness was felt. "It would be a physical impossibility to police the 8,000,(K*o"or 9,000,000 inhabitants of S*ttin's Oceanic colonies with that number of men. Under a good military government it would require ln.ooo for administrative purposes alone. Thc proposition to transport 30,000 soldiers to this conquest is more like a business proposition. "It may surprise some Americans to know that Dewey's victory carries with it spoils of war probably larger than was ever decided by the issue of one battle. The future value and influence of this conquest is almost incalculable. Studying the situation as it exists we must assume that with the fall of the Phillip- [lines the United States will claim as their due all the natural results of such a capture. By this one victory the I'nited states acquired at least the right of disposal of the destiny of more thnn 11,- niHi.tiiH. people. "Together with the Philippines go the Marianne and the Palawans and Carolines. The Philippines hnve nn area of lM.'iliO square miles: the Marianne or Ladrone islands have 440 Winnie miles and the D.ilnwans and Carolines 1430. Stretching eastward from the Philippines thi-sc groups extend about 4.") degrees of latitude. A little farther to the north and east are the Ilawiiiinns. Should the I'nited States then build either of the Isthmian canals she will not only control the ocean water passage, but iu the most strategic portion of the Pacific ocean, she can, as it were, cross tbat vast expanse of the ocean upon ber own stepping stones.'' Thanka to Dei-rer. Washington, Mny 9.—The president today sent the following message to congress: To the Congress of the United Stntes: On the 24th of April 1 directed the secretary of tlie navy to telegraph orders to Commodore George Dewey, United States navy, commending the Asiatic squadron, then lying in the port of Hong Kong, to proceed forthwith to the Philippine islands and there commence operations and engage the S-xinisli fleet. Promptly Obeying the order, the I'nited states squadron, consisting of tl.e flagship Olympia, Baltimore, Raleigh, Boston and Petrel, accompanied by the revenue cutter Hugh McCulloch as an auxiliary dispatch boat, entered the harbor of Manila at daybreak on the 1st day of May and immediately engaged the entile Spanish fleet, eleven ships, which were under the protection of the tire of land forces. After ii Stubborn light, in which the enemy suffered grent loss, those ve* sels were destroyed or Completely (lis abled and the water battery al Qsvttfl was silenced. Of our brave officers and men, not one was lost and only eight injured, and those but slightly. All our ships escaped serious damage. Hy the 4th of May Commodore Dewey had taken possession of the naval station at Cavite, destroying the fortifications there and at the entrance of the bay and paroling their gnrrisons. The waters of the bay are under his complete control. He has established a hospital within the American lines where 250 Spanish sick and wounded arc assisted and protected. Thc magnitude of this victory can hardly be measured by the ordinary standards of naval warfare. Outweighing any material advantage is the moral effect of this initial success, At this unsurpassed achievement the great heart of our nation throbs, not with boasting or with greed of conquest, but with deep gratitude that this triumph has conic ill a just cause and that, by the grace of God, an effective step has thus been taken toward the attainment of wished fn- pence. To those whose skill, courage nnd devotion have won the fight, Ul the gallant commander nnd brave officers and men who aided htm, our country owes nn incalculable debt, Feeling as our people feel, and speaking in their naiiic, I at once sent a message lo Commodore Dewey thanking him and his officers and men for the splendid achievement and overwhelming victory and informing him ' had appointed him acting rear-admiral 1 now recommend, following our national precedents, and expressing the fer vent gratitude of every patriotic heart, that tlie thanks of Congress be given to Acting Rear Admiral George Dewey of the I'nited States navy for hLs highly Sis, languished conduct in conflict with the enemy, and to his officers and men under his command for gallantry in the destruction of the enemy's forttiealions in the bav of Manila.

The town of Weiser Is to be corrected with the outer world by a long distance telephone line. Settlers on the northern part of the Ne/. Perce reservation are experiencing difficulty in determining their lines, and the neighborhood is frequently callrl upon to settle disputes thnt ni\* constantly becoming more complex and bewildering, ilie settlers claim that the government surveyors made a mistake in their lines. The Bettlers in some cases have made their own lines, with the result that matters are pretty well mixed. Some of the over-zealous ones, finding themselves short in land by reason of their neighbors' new survey, have stepped over the reservation line and are encroaching on old settled land, in order to get a full claim. Ono fellow a few weeks ago thought he would get a "cinch" on his claim by hiring help and fencing it in in a hurry. At noon he had about 100 rods of fence built, and went home to dinner, and as it was raining, was not in a hurry to return. In tlie meantime some of his enemies were on the alert, and seized the opportunity to lay the entire fence flat on the ground and cut the wires. This instance has served to add more intensity to the condition of affaire, and claims are being watched with vigilance, so a fight is liable to occur at any time. George E. Steunenberg, brother of Governor Steunenberg, has arrived in Boise from Silver City, where he litis been engaged in mining. Mr. Steunenberg served three years in the United States navy and was yeoman aboard the Iloston at the time of his discharge. He will leave for New York in a few days with the hope of enlisting on one of the auxiliary navy vessels. Ed. Smith, chief clerk of the st.ite land board, is a member of the national guard. He has felt it his duty to resign ami go with the boys, the Lewiston company. Consequently he tendered his resignation to the board. While his motive was much appreciated, the board felt that it would be impossible to release him without causing much confusion nnd possible loss, as he is tbe only one familiar with the details of thc state's complicated land business. Consequently the Iward refused to ne. ept the resignation. Montana. George W. Stone of Bean has furnished the first wool shipment of the season.

Editor Silveiitonian : Dear Sir:- Having heard it rumored that the Rev. Air. ]>vell is likely to be mo-red by the conference now in session to Rossland, I think it pertinent to ask that a statement should bo given by him to the people of Silverton regarding tlie status quo of oar church. Tbere seems to be a considerable misunderstanding regarding: tho rights of the several denominations und should Mr. Powell leave us ill this uncertainty there will surely be friction between onr various denominations in future. I therefore ask Mr. Powell the folliowing questions and inquest that lie will answer through the columns of the Silvkktonian. In whose name is the church now hold. Has any denomination rights not en- Joyed by all others? Are any denominations debarred from tlie use ef the chnruh ? Wtjowe $•* present trustees? \Vhat.were the conditions under which money was solicited for the building fund 191* the church? In asjring thn above question!! I merely desire,to know the ground on which we, as church .goers, stand and also to avoid any difficulties which the pre-tut uncertainty might csuse. Thanking you in advance for your valuable tpace, I am Yon s respectfully ENQUIRER. We hear frequently of people who express tneirdissaproval of those who hire Chinamen. They claim, and no doubt correctly, that the wa^cs paid t3 Chiouinen is hoarded up and eventually leaves the country. On the other hand some of the strongest anti-Chinese men are among those who ore in the habit of patronising the cut rate departmental stores in the East wjjen in need # anything. It is an even break in our. opinion between one who hires a Chinaman and ono who Bends their ready cash cut of the conntry to the eastern trader and ignores the rights of .their home merchants. t Fax's Sarsaparilla MADE FROM TIE ACTIVE PR!ICKJgffl.
