THE BRILLIANT VICTORY AT MANILA.
A NATIONS GRATITUDE. THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS. Washington, May 9. President McKinley has forwarded a Message to Congress, in which he asserts that it is impossible to measure the victory already gained over the Spaniards by ordinary standards, as the moral outweighs the material advantage. The nation's heart, he says, throbs with gratitude at the triumph of a just cause. He recommends Congress to thank Admiral Dewey for his distinguished conduct, and to convey thanks to his officers and men for their gallantry. A resolution in these terms was subsequently adopted by Congress.
