Senator Lodge Voices the Feeling of Some of His Associates. When the Senate, on motion of Senator Hawley, went into secret session yesterday on the quartermaster’s bill Mr. Hawley read a letter from General Flagler, chief of the bureau of ordnance, requesting that au- thority be given for the purchase of ord- b nance without waiting to advertise, saylug that such delay might at times be of very ericus consequence. ‘The letter was not notable in any resp2ct except that it was an cfficial acknowledg- ment of the fact that there are still many |. articles to be secured for the equipment of the army and that expedition is considered necessary in securing them. The reading of the letter led to a brief Ciscussion of the status of the military cperations, and some impatience was ex- pressed regarding the apparent delay in getting the military expedition to the Phil- ippines started. Senator Lodge made a brief speech on this point, expressing the hope that if the passage of the bill would in any way expedite the movement of this force it would be put through without any further delay whatever. He referred to the battle of Manila as the most notable naval triumph of the world because of its remarkable onesided- ness and expressed surprise and disap- | pointment that eighteen days should have been ullowed to elapse before troops suffi- cient to enable us to follow up the naval victory with an attack upon the Spanish land forces at Manila had even been put in readiness to start upon their mission. Senator Gorman repeated his criticism made in open session of the provision in- serted by the conferees, but said he would not place any barrier in the way of action upon the report. There was no division upon the accept- ance of the report. —__—__-e—____——_. THROUGH ENGLISH GLASSES. A Belief That Our Policy of Non-In- terference is Ended, From the Londen Spectator. We think the Americans will keep the Philippines, we hope they will most hearti- ly, and we can show that they have the means of doing so with little trouble to themselves. We think they will keep them because we think that the Americans will emerge from this war with new ideas and arger ambitions. They will have defeated second-class European », and will feel acutely that as matters stand they would have been defeated by a first-class one. They could not have fought ance, to say nothing of Great Britain, without suffering rave defeats at sea and enormous losses by land. That is not a position which suits the American temper, and Washington will therefore set itself to construct a first-class t. at home with panese because the Japanese can man the twice the rapidity of the J they have a hundred time command of money, and the fleet when constructed by ping all the of the union, as they are doing already, into great naval schools, one for each si That fleet once built, the for a position in the world equal to their position among nations, for islands as uling stations, for posts of vantage if rope threatens thet will induce, or in- deed compel them to ve up their idea of non-intervention, which already, as we lias given way the moment their 4d emotions are stirred. Already, before the war has well begun, they are threatening Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawali and the Philip- pines, and as soon as it is over and the fleet built they will open the Ni canal, claiming right of free pas through it for their battle ships, and change their Monroe doctrine into a direct and effective protectorate of the two Americas.

FALL soe - OF MANILA, Showed That Inefficiency isthe Note of Modern Spa From the London Spectator. The inefficiency of which we have re- peatedly 9ken as the note of modern Spain comes out to the full in the accounts of the defense of Manila. Though the Spaniards had months of warning, nothing except the hearts of the seamen was ready for the fight. Senor Sagasta says Spain has spent £100,000,000 upon fortitications within the last twenty-five years, but whethec Manila was forgotten, or tho Ironey was intercepted, or the engineers were Incompetent, the fortifications 1a the far eastern colony proved of no avail. Alex- andria was better defended aga! the E h fleet than Manila against tne Amer- ican, The magnificent harbor, which would hold all the fleets of Europe, is one of th most defensible positions in the world for the entrance, only ten miles wide, is divid- ed into two channels, one of them very dangerous, by the fortified island of Ccire- gidor, which no vessel can s unseen or uiled, Manila, on the east of the bay, Cavite, five miles south of the capital, are both fortified; and if they repulsed the attacking squadron the foreign snips ould be caught as in a trap and must in the end surrender. Nevertheless the American, Commodore Dewey, though his squadren was small and had no place to which to retreat in case re- fitting became necessary, on ‘ne night of April 30 steamed undauntedly into the har- bor, and passed Corregidor without dam- age. He had not been expected, it was night, the searchlights were not ready and the forts on the island did not even fire until the invaders passed. The Spanish fleet in the early morning was, however, ready, and the seamen prepared to fight as if they did net know that ship for ship they wcre hopelessly overmatched; but the forts, we suspect, were not in the best order. At least, if they were, we do not know how Commodore Dewey won the battle. Every- body says he had the stronger fleet, and that is true; but they forget that Admiral Montojo had the forts at his back, and that they alone ought to have béen able to drive off the attacking squadron. Two great fertresses with Krupp guns mounted upon them, and Spanish crtillerymen to man them, ought surely to have given a good account of four warships, none of them of the first class, with a gunboat and some tramp steamers laden with coal behind them; but they did not. The American cemmodore kept his ships in incessant mo- tion—he ‘“‘was driven to maneuver,” says Admiril Montojo—and his squadron was apparently not damaged by the fire from the forts, while ship after ship-opposed to him sauk under his fire, or burst into Names, or retreated to the little inner har- bor of Bakor, there to be destroyed by their owners’ hands. The Spaniards fought bravely, losing, it is asserted, two thous- and men—we imagine this account includes the wounded, while the other account, with its loss of four hundred, fs 1 1 to the dead—but in four hours their et in the Pacific was literally annihilated, and Com- modore Dewey left free to attack Mcnila and Cavite. ‘The Philippines are lost to Spain. Senor Sagasta says the garrison can and will hold out, but garrisons do not hold out when unablo to reply to an enemy’s fire; the whole non-Spanish population, say 05 per cent, is unfriendly to Spain; the gov- érror knows that help from the peninsula within. any reasonable time is physically impossiblé; there are vast multitudes of heuseless people to be fed from the hestile interior; and altogether the situation is one in which capitulation would involve no dis- credit even in soldiers’ eyes. Commodore Dewey, who is to be supported by troops ficm San Francieca, is, we doubt not, at this moment in military possession of the colony. ——_-e+—___ Orfental Rug Sale at Moses’.

He is allowed two assistants, these being appointed by the }commander of the company for a week's seryice in the cook’s departinent, and being under his charge.
