The War With ce The first formal engagement between Spanish and American forces occurred in the harbor of Manila, capital of;the Philip- pine Islands, Sunday, May 1; an American fleet, under the command’ of Commodore Dewey, consisting of six principal vessels, a dispatch boat and two \colliers, entered the bay under cover of darkness and suc- cessfully attacked a Spanish fleet, consist- ing of nine principal vessels and a number of small gunboats; accordifig to“the meager reports first received before: cable commun- nication with Manila was.dnterrupted, the Spanish fieet was annihilated and’ the guns of Cavite, the princtpia] land defense of Manila, were silenced; Commodore Dewey notified the Spanish authorities of his intention to bombard Manila, and, it is understood, turned his attention to the outer fortifications while awaiting the noti- fication period to expire; the official report from Commodore Dewey was greatly de- layed, and when received indicated that several hundred Spaniards had been killed and wounded in the engagement, while only about six Americans were wounded, with no fatalities. In view of the developments in the Philippines, the Navy Department decided to send troops for the occupation of that territory, together with aid for Commodore Dewey, and the Trans-Pacific liner City of Pekin was chartered for this purpose, while the United States cruiser Charleston was put in commission to serve as aconvoy. The blockade of Havana con- tinued, but an important change of pro- gram altered the circumstances; in view of the possible approach of a Spanish fleet toward Porto Rico, the Havana squadron was divided and the heavier vessels, under command of Admiral Sampson, were dis- patched to the vicinity of Porto Rico, there to await the coming of such of the enemy’s vessels as might appear, of in their ab- sence to take possession of Porto Rico; it was anticipated that an engagement’ of some kind would soon occur. The United States battle ship Oregon and gunboat Ma- rietta, together with the dynamite cruiser Buffalo, formerly the Nictheroy of Brazil, sailed from Rio Janeiro northward; pre, cautions were taken to avoid an encounter between these vessels and Spanish war- ships. Several captures were made by the blockading squadron, the most important heing that of the Spanish steamer Argo- nauta, on board of whieh were a number of Spanish officers and soldiers, ‘The French mail steamer Lafayette was overhauled, she having persisted in an ef- fort to enter Havana harbor after warning she was taken to Key West, but the au- thorities in this city immediately ordered her release, as it was discovered that the French government had been assured that this vessel would be permitted to touch Havana on her way to Vera Cruz without molestation; notice of this promise had not been given to the officers of the block. ading squadron. Preparations were press- ed for dispatching an army of occupation to Cuba; the concentration of troops of the regular army at points in Florida con- tinued and arrangements were made for their transportation. The President pro- ceeded with the organization of the volun- teer army by nominating to be major gen- erals Senator Wm. J. Sewell of New Jer- sey, Representative Jos. Wheeler of Ala- bama, Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia, James H. Wilson of Delaware and brigadier generals Joseph C. Breckinridge, E. 8. Otis, John J. Coppinger, Wm. R. Shafter, Wm.'’M. Gra- ham, James F. Wade and Henry C. Mer- rlam; he also nominated a number of regu- lar army colonels to be brigadier generals. It was announced that the volunteer army would be divided into seven divisions; ten- tative arrangements for the concentration of a portion of this army in a camp of in- struction in the vicinity of this city. Word Was received in Washington that by direc- tion of the legislature of Hawaif, President Dole had tendered to the United States the opportunity to take milltary possession of Hawall for such strategic purposes as might be necessary in the war with Spain. The so-called Cuban autohomist congress Was opened with elaborate ceremonies in Havana; Capt. Gen. Blanco delivered a characteristic address extolling the virtues of Spain and condemning the action of the United States. The United States tug Ley- den landed a large store ‘of supplies for the Cuban insurgents on the coast near Mariel, under the cover of fire from the gunboat Wilmington, which dispersed a troop of Spanish cavalry that attempted to interfere with the operations. A general movement toward the concentration of Spanish troops in Havana and a few other large Cuban cities was begun; Gen. Pando evacuated the city of Bayamo, which was immediately occupied by Gen. Calixto Gar- cla with a force of Cubans. News of the fall of Manila caused intense excitement in Madrid and precipitated disturbances, both in the cortes and in the streets of cities; martial law was proclaimed in Ma. rid and several other centers of populatio evidences accumulated that the ministry was in danger of collapse and that revolu- tionary outbreaks were imminent: bread riots occurred throughout Spain and the situation became acute: in the debates in the cortes the government was severely criticised for its lack of forethought as disclosed by the easy victory of the Ameri- cans at Manila. It became understood that one reason for the failure of the Spanish fleet at Cadiz to sail on an offensive errand was the lack of ammunition and the re- fusal of foreign-born engineers to co-oper- ate with the Spaniards in hostile enter- prises. It was reported that Frederick W. Ramsden, British consul at Santiago dé Cuba, was in danger; the British govern- ment sent aid and later Ramsden was re- ported to be safe. Congressional. The Senate finance committee began the consideration of the war revenue bill; it was disclored that a majority of the com- mittee would probably vote against the bend issue proposition. While considering the proposed amendment to the Constitu- ticn in reference to the matter of the presidential succession the Senate by a narrow majority negatived an amendment proposed by Senator Mills for an income tax. The House committee on foreign re- lations began the consideration of Kepre- sentative Newlands’ joint resolution for the annexation of Hawaii, and it was agreed to press that measure on the attention of the House. The House passed the army Geficiency bill. The fortifications bill was agreed to in conference. The Senate con- sidered the post office appropriation bill and voted to restrict urban mail deliveries to a maximum of four deliveries daily. Foreign. The German emperor announced that in the war with Spain Germany would pre- serve neutrality, while caring strictly for German interests. Lord Salisbury, in a speech at the annual gathering of the Prim- rese League, said that he hoped that tae "war of Spain and the United States would scon end; he was savagely criticised by Spain and Spanish sympathizers for his expressions of implied friendship for the United States. Uaofticial announcement was made in London that Sir Julian Pauncefote, British ambassador at Wash- irgton, would soon be succeeded by Sir Thomas Henry Sanderson, Bread riots continued in Italy. It was said that Chile had given Argentina until June 5 to defi- nitely state its position on the boundary dispute. The French cabinet, suspended duties on wheat until July;1. Threatening letters were sent to W. R. Finch, United States minister to Uruguay, and the lega- tion at Montevideo was put under guard. The Chinese foreign office notified Japan tkat it would make the filial payment of war indemnity May 6. ‘Bhe Republic of Hayti agreed to grant American residents the same trade and labor rights as natives. Russia gave the Cramp yards, th Philadel- phia, a contract to build # battle ship of 12,500 tons displacement and a cruiser of 6,100 tons. Natives at Shongay, Sierra Leone, burned the home of American mis- sicnaries because of the fmposition of a hut tax. i In the District. The Commissioners revived consideration of the question as to whether the District offices might properly be included under the civil service extensions; the Attorney Gen- eral rendered an opinion ‘on this subject to the President, who took the matter un- der consideration. The House District com- mittee reported favorably a.bill- for the re- peal of the highway act. The House sub- committee on telephones continued its in- vestigations. The superintendent of chari- ties rendered to the Commissioners an ad- verse report on the bill to provide for the creation of an asylum for inebriates. The quota of the District National Guard in the volunteer army was increased from a bat- talion to a regiment of minimum strength and arrangements were made for the en- campment of that force in this vicinity. The second annual of the National Con- gress of Mothers was held in this city. Great success attended the horse show which was conducted at Convention Hall. Judge Cox granted permission to the Ana- costia and Potomac street railroad com- Pany to discontinue the operation of 24 street southwest branch.» The Court of Appeals reversed t! lice Court on the FINANCIAL.

Scott Council, No. 458, of the National Union, gave an entertainment Thursday evening, May 5, 1898, at the hall of the Legion of Loyal Women. It was opened with music by Prof. E. L. Scharf’s Orches- tra, followed by an acdress from C. R. McBride, giving a short history of the order. Recitations were given by D. C. Haywood and H. W. Selah: a guitar solo was ren- dered by Mr. Otto Bauer, and a solo was. sung by Miss Anna Pearl Evans. A whis- tling solo by Mr. M. M. Clark was enthusi- astically encored. He responded by giving some worderful imitations. The Montrose Mandolin Club furnished selections. The exercises were closed by serving ice cream and cake, which had been provided in abundance by the council. There were 200 ladies and gentlemen present. This was the first social the council ever gave, and its success was far beyond most sanguine expectations. = DUE AND CONTINUOUS ELIMINATION is recognized by all Physicians to be the chief requisite for the restoration and preservation of health. “APENTA” is the Best Eliminant.
