NEWS COMES mOM SPANIARDS. he Officials of the Spanish Government Endeavor to Secure Comfort in the Face of an Overwhelming Defeat by Declaring That the Americans Retreated Our War ships Bombard Matanzas For Eighteen Minutes National House Passes thi War ' Relief Measure Arrival of Steamer Paris at New York. j Washington, May 2. Not since the dark days of the great civil conflict of a third of a century have the people of this city been so profoundly moved by war news as they were last even ing. The. first battle of the Hispano American war has been fought, and victory lies with Admiral Dewey's squadron, under the Stars and Stripes. While victory had been expected, the news of- it coining as it did come from Spanish sources gave vent to the, patriotism of the people which has been pent up for days. It was a -spontaneous outburst of patriotic feeling that scarcely knew bounds. Admiral Dewey's name was on every lip and his praises were sung in the rejoicings of the people. Officials of the navy department were ' reticent in discussing the conflict, in the absence of official information,, but they made no pretense of concealing their gratification. Secretary Long declined to comment upon the subject, but it was evident that he felt relieved. It has been known for days at the navy department that a conflict at; Manila was inevitable, and while no great f ear of the result was expressed, there was a deep concern in the heart of every official. Navy and army circles, after mani festing throughout the day the great -ast eagerness for news from the Philip pines, received with intense joy the advices telling of the victory of Ad miral Dewey's fleet. Their satsfaction that the defeat of the Spanish had been overwhelming was strengthened by- reason of the news coming first almost wholly from Madrid. The absence of any statement of specific injury -to the American ves sels, in the Madrid advices,' was con strued as convincing indication that they had not suffered appreciable in jury, and this was especially pleasing to the haval students of the news. It was pointed out as little less than marvellous that the American squad ron escaped without severe injury, be cause, notwithstanding the disparity in the naval forces, the Spanish fleet, assisted, by the shore batteries, should have been able to inflict severe dam- age to its foe before itself, being de- 8troye(i. Its failure to do so was ex- plicable only upon the hypothesis of perfect and swift work by the Amer icans. An.opinion freely expressed by naval officers is that the very decisive vic tory of Admiral Dewey's fleet will mean probably an early end to the, war, without further naval battles "jof im portance. It was suggested in official circles that Admiral Dewey's landing had a twofold purpose. Itwas not only that the wounded might" have better care than they could receive on shipboard, in the face of other probable engage ments, but also to carry out what was known to be Admiral Dewey's purpose to effect a junction with the insurgents as soon as possible. The insurgents practically surround Manila A de mand is likely to be made for the sur render of the city, and in the event of a refusal a combined attack, would be made upon it. COMMODORE DEW EY'S DARIN G. He Ma" Renew the Attack, If He Has Not Done, S: Already. London, May 2. While it is quite clear that the Spanish squadron at Manila has suffered a crushing, defeat, the despatches leave unclear the in tensely interesting question whether the American squadron has suffered material damage. " All news thus far comes from Span ish sources, but it seems evident that Commodore Dewey has notj captured Manila. Unless he is able to make an other attack and capture the town, he will be in" an awkward position, having no base upon which to retire and to refit. Commodore Dewey displayed great pluck and daring in making for the inner harbor. .

THE WORK OF ENLISTMENT. Call 1 11 tf the Roll of Pennsylvania's Mllltla at Mount Gretna. Mount Gretna, Pa., May 2. Sunday at Camp Hastings brought to the sol diers a refreshing relief from the hard daily routine of drill, and in its stead the camp was thrown open" to the rela tives and friends of the officers and men. Special, and regular , trains brought over 5,000 persons to the grounds. The visitors were largely the parents, wives and sweethearts ' and relatives of the guardsmen, but the usual light heartedness incident to an encampment was noticeable by its ab sence. In its place there was a sup pression of spirits which told plainly that the men were there for war duty, and that this misrht be the last time the soldier boy would see his dear one. When the tattoo was sounded at 9:30 last evening and the time for leave taking came there were many touch ing and pathetic farewells. One mother whosje three sons eo with the Eight eenth regiment of PJttsburg embraced each separately, while the father, with a Grand Army button on his coat and wearing an empty sleeve, stood by with stern features and a far' away look on his face, as if thinking his light hearted .boys' little knew of the hardships that might come with the future. Inspector General Morrell yesterday ordered the inspection and . muster of the- men to begin today, beginning with the First brigade.

All men not volunteering will be sent home as soon-as Dossible, but will still retain membership in the guard. By tonight it will, be known how many men of, the First brigade have enlisted for war duty. lnwnlted the Klaar, Fled From Lynching i Fort Scott, Kan., April 2.

Advices from Manila say that the American, squadron, under Commodore Dewey, appeared . off .the Bay of Manila at 5 o'clock. Saturday morning and opened a strong cannon ade against the Spanish squadron and forts protecting the'harbor, The Span ish second class cruiser Don Juan de Austria Was severely damaged and her commander killed. : r The' American squadron retired, having also sustained severe damage. A second naval en gagement followed in which the Amer ican squadron again suffered consider able loss and the Spanish warship Mindano and Ullca were' slightly dam aged". The following is the text of the of ficial dispatch from the governor gen eral of the Philippines to j the minister of war, Lieutenant General Correa, as to the engagement off Manila: "Saturday night, April 30. the bat teries at the entrance to the fort 'an nounced the arrival of the enemy's squadron, forcing a passage in the obscurity of the night. At daybreak the enemy took up positions, opening with a strong fire against Fort Cavite and the arsenal, v ' . "Our fleet engaged the enemv in a brilliant combat, protected by the Cavite and Manila forts. They obliged the lenemy. with heavy loss, to man euver repeatedly. At 9 o'clock the American squadron took refuge behind the foreign merchant shipping,: xrn t the west side of the bay. "Our fleet, considering the enemy's superiority, naturally suffered a se vere -loss. The cruiser Reina Maria Christina was destroyed by fire, as was the cruiser Castilla,' -The other ships retired from the combat, some being gunk to avoid their falling into, the enemy's hands. ' "There was considerable loss of life. Captain Cadasso, commanding tho Maria Christiana, is among the killed. I cannot now give further details. -The spirit of the army, navy and volunteers Is excellent." F1 Heraldo de Madrid says that Ad miral Montojo changed his flagship to the gunboat Isla de Cuba during the en gagement, or between two encounters, in order to better direct the maneuvers. In this way he escaped the fate of the commander of the Reina Maria Chris tina. ; ; '. , The second engagement, according to xn Merjnow. aa apparently bosun v the 'Americans, after landing their wounded on the west side of the bay. In the latter1 engagement the Spanish warships Mindanao and Ulloa suffered heavily. During the second engagement the Cavite forts maintained a steadier and stronger fire upon the American squadron than in the first engagement. Admiral Bermejo, the minister of marine, has expressed himself .as highly pleased, with- the heroism of he Spanish marines, and has telegraphed congratulations to Admiral Mohtejo and the' valorous crews of the Spanish squadron under fire of superior ships. Notwithstandig the seAaFre damage the Spanish ships sustained, naval of ficers here consider that further opera tions by the American squadron will be conducted ' with great difficulty, owing to.' their having no base where they could repair and re-coal or obtain fresh supplies of ammunition.
