Monbc$Jo's vessels were anchored, but as the fight began he ordered them to "slip their anchors and sret under1 way-ex-cept' the Castilla, whose disabled eri gines prevented her from moving. Two of it!he torpedo boits boldly dashed out to attack 'the Olympia, but the Amer; ican gunners did not allow them to get within striking distance. One was sunk, the other driven ashore "disable 2. " The Reina cnristlna also sreamea out to at tack at close-quarters, but she too had to retreat; and1 the Spaniards made no fur ther move until at tie end of the baittle they went inshore to sink, as. a dog crawls into his kennel to die. A FIERCE ARTILLERY DUEL. There behug no axmcred ships on eilther side, -the result was simply a question of gunnery; and here the AmerR.ans had .a great advantage in their more powerful batteries, and -a still greater one in their vastly superior m ark s mmshi p. Wheth er .from lack of training ox inability to preserve in the stress and stra'in of battle the steadiness of hasnd and eye that is needed for accurate gun practice, the Spaniards' fire was extraordinarily wild and ineffective. With about, seventy guns firing for two hours ait an enemy within easy range, they did practically no damage. Only one of their shells in jured a gun or -a man in the American fleet, striking one of the Baltimore's cannon, and sending out a shower of splinters that waunded eight men, none oif them seriously. On the ether hand the American fire was exceedingly accurate and destruc tive. As they passed alongghe Spanish line, our gunners paid special attention to the Reina Christina, their only an tagonist that could be considered formld able, and Monfcojors flagship suffered ter ribly. Early 'in the action, a shell ex ploded in the forjiastle, and killed! or disabled the crews of four of her rapid fire gune. The helmsman.' on the bridge being wounded by splinters struck from the foremast, Lieutenant Nunez tco:; the wheel and kept it, amid the hail of shot, until anoher shell destroyed 'the steering: erear. The (admiral's flag was shot from the mizzenmaet, one gun after another was put out of action, the smoke stack was riddled, the engines were struck and damaged. A shell burst in the hospital killing wounded men who were being treated there: another set firp. it:r the crew s Quarters, and another caused a serious blaze close to one of ith3 mae-azines. Altogether, as reported by -MVM-vt-n-irv she was struck seventy times TRrvfh Vir htkI on the other ships, the fouerht with igreat bravery. The Christina's guns were fired until only two gunners remained unhurt. "Pinallv. with his ship hopelessly dis ci WoA n-nrl luimine in half a dozen rviiaces. with more than half her crew killed or wounded, with her boilers and magazines likely to explode at any moment, ne admiral, who (had himself been wounded from a splinter from a shell, ordtered-her abandoned. The boats were launched, and Mantrajo was rowed over to he Isle de Cuba. Many of tne crew jumped overboard and swam! to the other vessels or fro the shore. Cap tain Cadarso, the Christina's chief of ficer, staved on the ship to the last, arid' was killed "by a shell as he was about to leave ihec WRECK rOF MONTOJO'S FLEET The rest, of the Spanish vessels had suffered almost as severely. The wood em Castilla was no better than a floating coffin un'der the fire of the American gu'ns, and she had - burned amd! sunk where she lay. As Lieutenant Fiske remarks,, Montojo would have .been wiser to dismantle her before the battle, and mount her guns on shore. The wnoie fleet was practically sileaced and wiseck ed when, at twenty-five minute to eight, after passing five itimes along the Sp?" -fcsh line, and gradually drawing closer nniHl he was within two thousand yards of it. Dewey ordered his ships -.1a) ocease firing:. He drew further out Into the bay, out of -range, to give his men, who fior more than twenty-four hours had been under -an almost continuous strain of exerting -work, time for rest, and re f resnrnemt. At a quarter past eleven trie Ameri can fleet returned to the attack. "Mon tojo "had moved his ships all that could be moved dlose to the point of Cavite. "Moat of them were on fire, and one of them after another was scuttled and abandoned. The admiral himseM had been carried :to a convent hi the town. A few more rounds from our cruisers completed the work of destruction, and at twenty minutes to one the Spanish ships beimg wrecked and sunk, the shore batteries silenced, and the arsenal bav Ing baUled'down its flag, Dewey steam ed northward again to Manila, learvSn? the "Petral Whose light draft enabled her to go into ilie shallow water inshore to destroy or capture a few smalt craft tbat remained afloat Commander Wool carried out his commission without dif ficulty, sinking thei transport Isle de Mindanao and capturing the tugs Rapi- do ana Hercules andt some launches.

Thus was executed one of t!he most brilliant and completely successful naval operations in history, v The inorning's work of Dewey s squadron bad obliter ated Spain's naval power In the Bast, and had given him command of the great Philippine archipelago.

SOUVENIRS OF THE MAINE. Pnngfield,, 111., Jan. 23.-Several cd.noaas of armor plates from the wreck of th TTmitteri tatp stMmsWn Maine wjlL arrive in Springfield in t few weeks bo be rerolled by the Spring field Iron company. Some eastern peo pie have conceived the idea of making Maine souvenirs from the plates, and they have prepared an extensive as sortment of dies and patterns. J. ne plates, whichi were originally made to withstand hostile shot and shell, are to 'be placed an large heating furnaces and put through the "univer sal mill" of the company, which iia used to roll out bodler 'arid tank plates. In this mall the Maine's armor plate will be reduced in thickness to a degree which will permit the metal to b stamped and spun into scarf, hat and stick pins, cigar-ash receivers, ink stands, candle sticks, rines pen holders. paper weights, medallions, medals and miniature replicas' of the vessel which was sent to the bottom of Havaria har bor not quite a year ago. About fifty tons of the metal will come to Springfield from Havana by way of New Orleans. SOMEBODY HAS LIED. Editor Gazette: I understand that tarn charged by Governor!

Boston, Mass-., Jan. 23. -President P. E. Clark, D. D., of the United Society of ChrifitianEndeavor, has set before the endeavorers certain ririncinlea . ' M. Mr ;h he thanks should be considered In determining the attitude of the mem bers of the society as to imperialism or national expansion. President Clark says: "The great questions involved are not wnetner expansion wiu increase our 1 .. 1 . . . m .. exports or Imports, not whether it will involve a greuc stanaang ,army ana a vast navy, not whether it will increase our national prestige and importance, not wnetner it wiu involve a strict or a liberal interpretationof the constitution rior whether It will involve the shelving of the Monroe doctrine, but whether or not imperialism will enable America batter to perform its mission among the great nations of the world as a civ ilizing, uplifting,, and Christianizing force. "We should not be led by the daz zling visions of national greatness, which certain Imperialists would dan gle before our eyes; nor should we be scared out of our duty by the timid fears of some who dare not attempt great things for God and humanity. OWE A DUTY TO MILLIONS. "We cannot if we would place our selves back where we were a year ago. The boom of Dewey's guns in Manila and of Sampson's at Santiago will never cease to echo. We" owe a peculiar auty to at least 12,000,000 people who a year ago were not under our particular sphere of influence. Can we most quickly elevate these people and bring them into the front ranKs of The civilized Christian races by annexing them, or by converting their lands into colonies, or can it be beat done by fostering them and pra tecting them for a little until they are able to go alone as free and indepem danit states? That, it seems to me, is the great question of the day so far as these nations are concerned. RESULTS OF SETTLEMENT "If this question, is not settled as God would have it ssettled iit will be a sorry day for America. If it is settled right it will mot only bring untold blessings to these peoples of the West Indias and the South Seas, but it will bring the dawn of a new era to the world, for it will show that a strong nation can interfere with the affairs of an other nation even to the point of war, not for Its own glory and aggrandize ment, but for the elevation and ad vancement of a weak and down-trod den people. If, this, America's avowed purpose. proves to be her real purpose, it will be a prouder thing than ever to be called an American. If it should prove that we have gone to war and are ex- pkrithag these people for our own com- merolal advantage, with little thought for their Interests or advancement, we should become, as wo deserve to be' come, a by-word among the nations.'
