They came in two cable mossagos re-

to the Associated Press by the offi-
cials to-day.
SPANIARDS FIRED FIRST.
The first cable dispatch announces
that tho United States flett entered
Manila harbor at daybreak yesterday
stationing itself opposite tho city. A
fort opened firo upon the American
shipB whereupon they shilted their
position to one near Cavite in Manila
bay engaging in a fierce fight against
both the forts and tho Spanish fleet.
The engagement here lasted two
hours and resulted in tho annihila--.
tion tfolha Spanish fleet.

This dispatch adds that tho Amer-
ican ships withdrew to their maga-
zine vessel in tho centro of tho road-
stead for the purpose of cooling. Ono
American vessel tho namo of which
js not mentioned is said to have been
disabled.
SURRENDER OR BOMBARDMENT.
Commodore Dewey requested .the
British Consul E. II. Rnwsoti Walker
to convey a message to tho Spanish
governor general demanding the sur-
render of all tho torpedoes and guns
at Manila ann tho possession of tho
cable offices saying that unlets these
Actuated by patriotism tho lead-
ing society women of Washington are
reported to bavo signified their inten-
tion to refuso to wear French goods "
owing to the unfriendly attitude of
France toward our country. In re-
pct to the matter a coriespondent
of the New York World says:
"The foremost society women of
Washington are about to organizo a
woman's patriotic league for the pur-
poso of retaliating on Franco for her
ubfrieiidly attitude toward our gov-
ernment in the present crisis. Tho
members pledgo themselves to buy
no more articles of any kind from
France and they hope to iccuro the
cooperation of all tho women in the
United States. This would mean an
annual loss to tho France of 50 mil-
lion dollars as these figures are given
by the bureau of statistics as the
amount of French goods which we
purchase each year. They will issue
a circular letter explaining the pur-
pose and inviting all the women of
America who love their country to
join. Copies will ba sent to all prom-
inent women's clubs and societies
and to female colleges."

iards who can be Koked out of their
boots in about two weeks may find thein-
selves In the position of Judge Samuel
Bice of Alabama during the war of the
rebellion. Judge Kiee was one of the
most vehement secessionists in tho btate.
After the war bo became a Republican
and ono day while making a bitter
speech in a littlq town in tho State a
countryman asked him if ho did not
mako a speech there iu 1SG1. The
judgo said he did. "And didn't job

"that tho YaLka wouldn't fight tod
that we could whip them with pepgns?'
"Yea." replied the jud;o "I Hi say
that but you ecq they wouM tt fight
us that way."
terms were compliod with hoj would
proceed to bombard the city. '
CABLE MESSAGES BTOrrED
The first of the cable messages ends
with the statement that the; Spanish
officials -were conferring with the
British consul and the tolegjaph com
pany's agent and thas ponding a de-
cision boing arrived at tho cables were
not permitted to handle messagos.
Tho second cable dispatch re-
ceived by the colonial office announc-
ed that the Spanish governor general
had refused to surrender tho tor-
pedoee guns and cable offices and
that ho had prohibited the agent of
the telegraph company from confer-
ring with Commodore Dewey.
TUB CABCE MAY BE CUT.
The messago ended with tho atato-
thnt the British governor of tho
Straits settlement (an English poss-

of Manila would begin on Monday
morning when the Spaniards would

the New York Herald from London
say "The Asiatic squadron of tho
United States Commodoro Dewey

completely defeated tno "Asiatic
squadron of Spain in tho harbor of
of Manila in tho Philippine islands.
ALL XHE NEWS IS SFANI8II.
All messages received bad to be
sent through tho Spanish cable and
of course tho Spanish side is mado
a? favorable a possible.
BOMBARD HAVANA I
It's astonishing how much moro a kt
.pf peoplo who novcr had any military
training know abcut haw to conduct the
war with Spain than do tho men who
havo charge of operations and who bavo
had lifelong training in military opera-
tions. The war has now been in actual
operation less than two weeks yet ihcso
fellows aro roaring and tearing their hair
because the government has not captured
the Island of Cuba destroyed tho Cuban
fleet and imprisoned or killed all the
Spaniards. Theso cries reminds tho
Chicago Inter Ocean of tho days of '61
when this samo class of people made tho
welkin ring with the cry of "On to
Richmond and that journal gives them
tlio following editorial roast;
"Tho cry Bombard Havana is put
forward by tho same class who in 18C1
cried On to Richmond. It it the catch
phrase of men who know nothing of war.
It serves tho purpose of tho impatient
the disaffected the disloyal. It will bo
found as often in the mouths of thoso
opposed to tho war as those in favor of
it. It will bo caught up by thoso who de-
sire to embarrass the government by
thoso who ecek to discredit tho army
and navy and by thoso who who would
croat o dissatisfaction when there ought
to be enthusiasm harmony and unity
of aclion.
"Havana will be bomlarded when tho
time comes. Tho thorough preparation
made for war and all tho incidents up to
date show that strategic plans have been
well considered. The latest outlino of
operations in Cuba that comes from
Washington indicates that tho first land-
tag of troops will be mado at some other
peht than Havana; that this point will
be made a baso for tho army of invasion;
that an attempt will bo made to form a
junstks between (he Spited Statei army
and (be Cabsn army and that when this
f juoetieu Las beca fvral the cembiueS
forces will attack Havana from the rear
while tho navy attacks in fro at. This
plan if successfully carried out will rc
suit in tho capturo not only of Havana
but of tho Spanish army.
"In Cuba tho ol.jcctiro point cf the
general in command will bo tho deatruo
tion of Spanish power. Liko General
Grant ho will aim at the army. When
that is captnred or dispersed Havana Is
at tho mercy of tho Americans. Commo-
dore Dewey is pursuing tho samo policy
in tho Pliilipincs. lie is oiminrr not so
much to capturo Manila us to captura or
destroy the Spanish fleet. When the
Spanish fleet in Philipinc waters is do
stroyed Manilla falls without a blow be
ing struck. Manila in itself will be im
portant as a' baso of supplies for the
American fleet and as an opaning to fus
tare operations to cripplo Spain bnt as a
war mcasuro tho detraction of the fleet
comes fiwt.
'War is war. Tho most successful
wars of modern times wcro conducted on
tho principle followed by Von Moltke
and Grant. In tho great campaign of
1870 Von Moltko aimed to capturo the
French armies and ho did. In all tho
operations looking to tho capturo of the
hostilo armies numbering 400000 men
tho Germans moved with almost incon-
ceivable rapidity. But when it came to
the bombardment of Paris the greatest
Genera' 0f Europo hesitated. Tho cap
turo of Paris wan not So important as the
capture of tho French nrmiej. In his
pursuit of General Lee Grant did not
aim at the destruction of cities at the
bombardment or camps but he strove lo
capture tho Confcdcrato army
"War in Cuba will be war. But it will
bo conducted by soldiers and strategist)
who will strive to accomplish their task
just as Von Moltko did at Sedan and
Grant at Appamattoz. The peopto may
trust them to say whon Havana shall be
bombarded. Tho pcnplo may trust tho
conduct of tho cimpaigu to soldiers of
spirit and ezperienco better than to men
who novcr wcrp on a balllcfield."
Present Outlook for CiUlle'JIJiisincss.
A few days ago ono of the Journal
men sawn letter from a stockman who
lias been making a very larpjo aqd per-
fectly safe cattle deal through whioh one
of tho commission firms was to carry
him. The firm was feel in 2 the nrcssuro
which tho probability of war was effect-
ing and asked his client to do all in his
power to opsin in making tho deal as
little burdensomo as possible II o was
aeeured of protection from any serious
damage and told in the letter to himself
that the firm was confidcat that within
thirty d6 ilioro would bo no such etriu-
gency as to subject cattle paper to the
difficulties to which an uncertainty rela-
tive to bo great an event as war had sub-
jected it.
This view is a hopeful ono and not
unreasonable. To business conditions
nothing is so deadly as uncertainty.
With the declaration of war its causes
stated its objects proclaimed its genera)
scheme of operations prevised men will
ho nble lo measure the demands of the
situation and to adjust their energies and
methods to its requirements. In warfare
on a largo scalo there U nothing more
certain than enormous demand for bread
and meat fully as much of which per-
haps goes to waste as to actual consump-
tion. And In a country so abundantly
conditioned and Lquippcd for war as is
tho United Statos in men in money in
production of overy needed war supply
tho ordinary food demand besides thut
which the war creates would experience
practically no diminution. Vast sums
of money would go into general distribu-
tion among tho industrial classes and
thousands would bo better able to buy
moro than they can buy today. The
increase in consumption would ho vast.
'lhe supply would be relatively smaller.
It would seem that this certainly ouhl
to be such a stimulant to every deparii
ment of the catilo industry that there
would bo after tho adjnstment genorally
tSilfiT situation hut littlo difficulty in
negotiating all the necessary credits for
any legitinuto transaction. Toxns Stock
and Farm Jouma'.
This is the time of yar" said the
Drst woman "when it is in order o that
good old proverb ' "Ono swallow
doesjiot mako a sumincil" interrupted a
second woman. "April showers bring
May flowerM" put in a third whilo a
foir.h paraphrased ''It's a long spring
that has no turning." "No nono or
those" wid the first wouun; "tho pro-
verb I mean U: 'Slick to your flannels
istiHfty stick to you!' "
FloIiUJrop Experiments.
Tho March 1803 Bulletin of tho Ok-
lahoma Experiment Station gives some
interesting accounjs of experiments with
various field crop. In refcrenco to tho
Sorghums and Kaffir com tho Bulletin
Gives tho followiou;
"Tho experience at this station con-
firms tho judgment of many farmers that
Kaffir corn is (o bo preferred whero the
yield of grain i.i tho chief consideration
its stalks and leaves also being palatable
and nutritious. Tho larger yield of well
selected Swpct sorghum varieties Is good
reason for preferring theso whtjro lhe
stalks and leaves arc thought most im
portant. There seems littlo reason for
recommending; either Milo mnize 'Jeru-
salem or the. Dourras in preferenoo to
Kaffir or swccT sorghum.

From tlvoClilcnpo Inter Ocean.
Dr. H. Tomboekun who has re-
turned from Cuba says words cannot
describe the sufferings of tho recou-
ccntrados. Ho accompanied Senator
Proctor whon ho mado his trip
through tho island. Ho said:
"In ono section of Matanzis build
ings had been rented in ono seel ion
to houso tho suffering ones. The
cots stood in rows. On them wore
stictched pour suffering creatures
emaciated until tlipy wcro littlu more

discolored the features distorted with

They died so rapidly it was impossi-
blo to remavo them. In mpre than
one case 1 walked up to a form and
whtn I touched it found it cold in
death.
"Tho sanitary oomlitlons in nil the
