The touching story of "Virgin-
ius, was nrst made Known to us
in the narrative of Livey, whose
fine imagination and poetic tem-
srament gave it an added charm,
ater the -Lays of Ancient Rome"
by Thomas Babington McCauley,
have made the story familiar to al
most every scholar or student of
iterature. In the early part of the
present century (1820) the dramat
ist, James Sheridan Knowles, adap
ted it to the stajre and was fortu
nate enough to have the assistance I
of the assistance of the distin
guished English tragedian Mr.
McCready in its adaptation, and as
the leading actor in its presenta
tion, and from that time to the
present day the role of Yirginius"
has been a favorite one with the
prominent actors as well a:s with
the public, while Hazlitt, the cele
brated critic of the day, pronounced
the play the best acting tragedy ot
the modern stage. The secret of
the popularity of "Virginius" lies
in the sympathetic human interest
which is, aroused in the earlier
scenes and carried by a series of
cumulating climaxes until the final
denoument is reached. In this re
spect it might serve as a model to
moden dramatists, for in spite of
the change in theatrical entertain
ments, the burlesque, the tarce-
comedy, and the sensational realis
tic plays, that have a temporary
success, and ttien are Heard no
more, the grand old play of "Vir
ginius" will hold the stage as long
hp hearts of men are susceptible
tp the holy influence of paternal
love, sympathy for suffering and
admiration for heroic sacrifice.

The class of '98. consists of fif
teen pupils, seven boys and eight
girls. They are very busily en

THE ENGAGEMENT AT MANILLA
COMMODORK DETTET.
IjONDOX. Sfay a. The details of the.
battle of Manila have been received nt
the British colonial office. Thoy came
in two cable messages received yester-
daj evening, the substance of which
has been furnished to the Associated
Press by the colonial oflico today.
Tho United States Asiatic squadron,
in cjommand of Acting Bear Admiral
Dewey, delivered a crushing blow to
the Spanish fleet oft the coast of tho
Philippines, between Manila andCavite,
between the boon of 5 and 0 o'clock
Sunday morning. The Spanish flag
ship Maria Christina was destroyed, the
captain killed, tho admiral barely es
caping on a transport. Tho cruiser
Camilla -was burned and tho gunboat,
Don Juan de Austria, was blown, up.
The Spaniards retreated, blowing up
smaller craft to save them from, the
ewsniy. There were two engagements,
the Americans retiring from the first
and renewing the attack which resulted
in victory.
Tho first dispatches announce that
the- fleet entered Manila harbor at day
break yesterday, stationing itself opr
pojito the city. A fort opened fire on
thct American 'Ships,, whereupDu-they
shifted their position to one near Oav-
ito, in Manila bay, engaging m a fierce
fight with the forts aud Spauish fleet.
The engagement here lasted two honri,
and resulted in the annihilation of the
Spanish fleet. This dispatch adds that
the American ships withdrew to their
magazine vessel, in the center of the
roadstead, for the pnrpose of coaling.
One American vessel is said to have
betn disabled.
CJommodore Dewey requested the
British consul, E. H. Rawson Walker,
to convey a message to the Spanish gov
ernor general demanding tho surrender
of all the torpedoes and guns at Manila
anil the possession of the cablo offices,
saying that unless these terms were,
coiaplied with ho would proceed to
bombard the city.
The first of the cable messages ends
wich tho statement that the Spanish of
ficials wero cdnf erring with tho British
consul and the telegraph company's
agent and that pending a decision be
in j; arrived at,the cables will not be per
mitted to handle messages.
The second cable dispatch received
by the colonial office announced that
tho Spanish governor general had re
fused to surrender the torpedoes, gnus
and cable offices and that ho had pre
vented the agent of the telegraph com
pany from conferring with Commodore
Dewey. The message ended with the
statement that the British governor of
the Straits Settlements expected that
the bombardment of Manila would be
gin cu Monday morning, when the
Spaniards wonld.cut tho cable. The
first of thes9 cable messages was re
ceived at U p. m. yesterday, and the
second one was received at midnight.
The officials here gather from the fact
that Commodore Dewey's demands at
Manila are limited to the guns, torpe
does and cable, he docs not consider he
has a force sufficient to land and occupy
the town.
s Ulanco Reports a Capture.
Madhid, May 2. The government
has received a cablegram from General
Blanco saying the American warships
blockading Cienf neg03 have captured a
Spauish. merchant steamer. A colonel,
a surgeon, six officers aud three non
commissioned officers who were on
board tho steamer were detained as
prisoners of war, but the civilian pas
sengers were liberated.

Two Spanish- commanders wero killed
while resisting to the last moment.
The Spanish losses are estimated at 40C
men, including many natives. The
American squadron attacked furiously
both the Spanish squadron and Cavite,
where it caused great damage."
Great Dlccoateat Xa Madrid.
Madrid, May 2. The authorities
here have adopted the most extreme
military precaution to check the in
creasing public indignation at the disas
ter to the Spauish fleet of Manila. Mar
tial law will bo proclaimed if the gov
ernment is "provoked over hostile dem
onstrations' ' In-the streets. The feel
ing of discontent prevails everywhere.
The military feel equally with the civil
elements the effect of tho disaster, in
which, according to one announcement,
"our inferior war craft, although thoy
fought- pluckily, perished through lack
of foresight in responsible quarters-"
Tho newspapers express a determina
tion to avenge the defeat of the Span
ish fleet. Tho conduct of the Spanish
admiral in sinking the remnant of his
fleet in order to prevent its capture is
highly extolled by tho press. The Im
partial advises the government to arm
all the availablo shipping and convert
the vessels into auxiliary fleet for the
purpose of capturing and destroying
American vessels.
Advices from Manila to tho Liberal
say tho United States fleet has taken
up a position in front of Manila and has
established a blockado of .tho port. The
population of Manila is fleeing from the
city. A bombardment of the town is

It is now admitted on all sides that
the Spanish fleet has been completely
destroyed.
The queen regent is said to have de
clared that her spirit can never be
daunted so long as she can rely on the
patriotism and courage of the Spaniards.
Sensational Debates .Expected.
Madrid, May 2. It is raining, which
may prevent the 2nd of May procession,
as well as the bull fight, which have
not been prohibited, although both
gatherings are liable to result in prolific
demonstrations. Senor Robledo, the
Conservative leader and former minis
ter of justice, is expected to inaugurate
a sensational debate in the chamber to
morrow, in which he will bo backed up
by the Carlists and Republicans. Gen
eral "Wcyler, whoso popularity is in
creasing, will also provoke a debate in
the senate.
llrltlsli Press Comment.
London, May 2. The afternoon
newspapers today comment at length
upon tho victory of the United States
fleet in Manila. The Pall Mall Gazette
says tho earlier Spanish stories left no
shadow of donbt that the Spanish fleet
bad been, to put it roundly, smashed,
and the later information this morning
places it oven boyond. possibility of a
Spanish denial. The newspapers all
discuss the ultimate fate of the Philip
pine islands.and in which the European
powers are vitally interested, and they
agree in saying that an element of dis
cord has been introduced in the "far
eastern scramble."
Spanish Goreraor Hoists White Flag-.
Chicago May 2. A special to the

NEWP0BT I7IP3 A, SMALL PHIZE.
Gathers In a Spanish Sloop Which Was
Taking- News to Hnrnna.
Key West, April 20. A small Span
ish sloop, the Engracia, captured by the
United States gunboat Newport, Cap
tain B. P. Tilley, off Cardenas yester
day, was brought in here this morning.
She was in charge of a prize crew, con
sisting of a couple of blue jackets.
Only one blank shot was necessary to
bring the Engracia to.- She had on
board a crew of seven men and a cargo
of fish. The men on board tho prize
had been in the Spanish navy and
servo as a sort of naval reserve. Tho
officer of the Newport says the capture
is an important ono, ia view of the fact
that the little vessel was attempting to
carry into Havana news of the move
ments of the United States fleet. The
crew of the Newport are anxioas to
have it known that they will share in
the prize money of the Catalina, if the
prizes are not returned. They say the
Newport was in sight when the cruiser
Detroit made the capture of tie
Spanish steamer. The Engracia, it is
claimed, is the fifth prize the Newport
is interested in.

Ox Board New York Off Havana.
(via Key West). April 2H. At 16 :1 p.
m., when the bonbardment was at its
height, and after it had bee& ia prog
gress for 19 lai&atee, Rear Admiral
Sampson ordered "Cease firing" to be
sounded. A few shots rang out from
the Cincinnati and Puritan before they
caught the signal On shore all wae
quiet. Not a soul could be seen there,
and there was no more firing. The
earthworks a quarter hour before had
presented a fairly regular outline, but
now they had a jagged appearance. Big
gaps were plainly visible at Quintas da
Recreo, but there was not a sign of life
there. Admiral Sampson had effect
ually stopped tho work on Punta Gorda.
He had drawn the fire out of the enemy
and had discovered exactly the quality
and location of their batteries, besides
affording his ships good target practice.
Incidentally, he had put the fear of
American guns into Spanish hearts.
It would have been perfectly feasible
for these three ships unaided to have
steamed past the fortifications right
into -Matanzas and taken it or shelled it
at pleasure. The only risk run would
have been mines. However, Matanzas
was not wanted lucky for it.. After
satisfying himself that hi3 object had
been accomplished, Admiral Sampson-
headed back for Havana.
