THE MANILA BATTLE GOVERNMENT H*S NOTHING OFFICIAL FROM DEWEY. Feared the Fleet May Have Suffered Severe Damage-Ship. Lacked Protection For the Crews—General, Merritt and Mlles Consult With War Officials, VV ashiugton, May 3.—it is a curious fact that the nation most directly interested of all the powers in the combat that took place at Manila Sunday should be among the last to know of the result. L p to this time absolutely the only information that our government has received of the brilliant victory of Commodore Dewey in winning the battle of Manila on May day came to the government through the medium of the press dispatches. If the report is true that Commodore Dewey has begun a bombardment and blockade of the city of Manila it is unlikely that he can spare a vessel from his fleet to carry the news to Hong Kong, the nearest cable station, so it is not known when official advices will come. There was some expectation that through the surrender of the city 1 the commodore might acquire control of the cable but even then there might be practical difficulties in communicating through it. The officers of Commodore Dewey’s fleet includes at least one lieutenant, who is a good practical | electrician and telegrapher, but it is not [ known positively that he is able to work a cable successfully. Destruction of Cable Apparatus Feared. Second, a fear is entertained that be- 1 fore retiring from the city the Spanish troops will smash the delicate and complicated electrical apparatus for the re-1 ception and dispatch of messages, and it is very uncertain xvhether there is enough technical skill in the American fleet to repair such damage without aid from the mainland. The mere cutting of the cable, as reported by the Spaniards, is not regarded as particularly serious, since being hemmed in port by the American blockading fleet the Spaniards would not be able to make the cut far off shore; that the cable could be I easily grappled and repaired. The 1 greatest anxiety is felt as to the casualties sustained by the American fleet. From the stubborn defense made by tbe Spaniards it is feared that before they j burnt, blew up or sunk their ships they ! managed to inflict severe damage upon Commodore Dewey’s squadron. Our Ships Lacked Protection to Life. AU of the ships engaged were vulnerable in one respect —namely, in their lack of protection to life. There was not an armored ship in Commodore Dewey’s fleet, the nearest approach being the flag ship Olympia. She had some coal protection around the sides and an arched steel deck calculated to protect the vitals of the ship. The other vessels of the fleet, save those recently added to the navy, like the McCulloch, have lighter steel decks of this character but in all cases, with the exception of some slight protection in the shape of gun shields, the personnel of the ships was exposed to the lire of the enemy. If Commodore Dewey has lost a considerable portion of his men it is feared he wiU be much embarrassed in the work of maintaining possession of Manila for lack of sufficient force. There is no talk yet of European intervention, but one of the most beneficial results of Dewey’s victory is that a deep impression has been made upon the European powers who can now no longer afford to blind themselves to the fact that man to man the American navy is equal to any in the world. There was no exhibition, such as was sueeringly predicted in the European press, of weakness in the American fleet caused the by fact that it was of lietrogenious composition. It i s safe to say that after the battle of Manila the European powers wiU conclude that the American flag always floats over the American crew, regardless of the nativity or racial descent of the men who fight the guns. The late reports that Manila was being bombarded caused much uneasiness at the foreign headquarters. It is said that if the town itself was under bombardment serious complications might arise, as non-combatants and the foreign colonies, it is held, should have been entitled to at least 24 hours’ notice of an attack upon the town proper. If, however, Commodore Dewey is confining his bombardment to Cavite and other forts no such question can arise. The [Spanish reverse at Manila seriously depletes the Spanish navy at a time when it is most in need of ships. With the burning of the two cruisers, Reina Christina and the Castilla, Spain has lost two of her best second rate cruisers. Mlles »n<l Merritt. Secretary Alger and General Miles bad a long conference with the president yesterday afternoon, presumably in regard to appointments in the volunteer service. In a few days all the troops that have been ordered to Tampa , are expected to reach that place and the eight large transports which are to conduct the first expedition to Cuba have been ordered to proceed to Tampa. The officials, however, decline to make public any information regarding the expedition or the place in Cuba where it is to land. General Wesley Merritt, commanding the department of the east, reported to the war department yesterday for consultation with Secretary Alger, lhe Durose of his visit other than that stated was not divulged. The commissary department at New York Gity Has opened proposals for supplying food to the army of 185,000, if the Koverniueu finds it necessity to contract for that number.

A BACKWARD SPRING Bring. Blood Disease., Nervous Derangements and Chronic Catarah. Never was there a greater demand i for spring medicines something to' cleanse the blood, strengthen the | nerves, or regulate the digestion. Is ' there any medicine so good for these purposes as Pe-ru-na? Thousands of doctors, druggists and tens of thousands of people of all classesand vocations have long ago decided this question that Pe-ru-na has no equal in

ru-na to clear the skin, invigorate the system and enrich the blood. Chronic catarrh in all phases and stages, cases that have defied the best of treatment for many years, take a few bottles of Pe-ru-na to their entire relief. | ! Nervousness, debility, weaknesses of I j 'noth sexes, sleeplessness, irritability, despondency, hypochondria, all these I disappear when Pe-ru-na is used ac- j cording to directions. One of the most instructive books on ! ! chronic catarrh ever furnished free is ] being sent by the Pe-rn-na Drug Man- ! ufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio.

I I JSr# \ \ \ Love that Alters. •• Love is not love that when it alteration , finds.” That is one of the sublimest lines in all literature. It is the final definition of love by the world’s greatest reader of the human 1 mind,—Shakespeare. Nearly all women 1 who truly love, love in this sublime way. Men seldom do. Woman’s most glorious endowment is the power to awaken and hold the pure 1 and honest love of a worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on, no one in the wide world can know the heart agony j she endures. The woman who suffers I from weakness and derangement of her j special womanly organism soon loses the ! I power to sway the heart of a man. Her : general health suffers and she loses her I good looks, her attractiveness, her amiability and her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. R. V. I lerce, of Buffalo. N.Y., with the assistance of his staff of able phy- ' I sicians. has prescribed for many thousands of women. He has devised a perfect and scientific remedy for women's ailments. It I is known as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip- ] tion. It is a positive specific for all weak- ! nesses. diseases, disorders, displacements, irregularities, and debilitating drains peI culiar to women. It purifies, regulates, strengthens and heals. Medicine dealers i sell it. and no honest dealer will advise i you to accept a substitute that he may ! make a little larger profit. "I was afflicted with kidney trouble and I ! have always had a torpid liver." writes Mrs. E. Crosswhite, of Duffau. Erath Co. Texas. "When i I commenced vour medicine I was not able to i stand on rav feet. I used one bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and five vials of I his ' Pleasant Pellets.’ I am now well. I had not walked in four months when I commenced I the treatment: but in ten days I was able to i walk

HUMOR OF THE HOUR. Lady Bulwer sat for her portrait in Bath, and the artist was commenting jon the beauty of the sitter’s eyes. which, if contemporaneous evidence is ' worth anything, were indeed magnificent. That started Laudor on the subject of eyes. He insisted that green eyes were the most “woonderfui”—he always pronounced the word with a double “o. ” In support of his argument he told the following story: “It so happened that when I was a young man at Venice I was standing in the doorway of the Case Florian one day, watching the pigeons in the Piazza San Marco, when an old gentleman rushed up to me and said: ‘Pardon me, sir, but will you allow me to look into your eyes? Ah, I thought so. Sir, you have green eyes. I ' never saw but one pair before, and they belonged to the late Empress Catherine of Russia. They were the most woonderfully beautiful eyes in the world. ’ I have reason,” continued Mr. Laudor, “to remember this, for while the old gentleman was examining my eyes I had my pocket picked.”—Argonaut. An Accident to Richard. Just before the curtain rose on an ; amateur performance of “Richard III” I the local manager stepped before the kerosene lights and made this announce- | ment: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am sorry I to inform you that Bill Spurlin, who j was to take off Mr. Richard, broke his 1 leg while trying to outjunip the mayor of the town, and that the play will I have to go on without him. Richard, ■ i however, is said to have been a bad j 1 character, so 1 don’t think the play will lose anything by leaving him out , .of it. So. here goes!” And he hauled I up the curtain. —Atlanta Constitution. !
