CRUSHING DEFEAT FOR THE
SPANISH FLEET.
BATTLE OF MANILA WON,
Three Spanish Cruisers, Including Adj
miraI MOntojOS Flagship ReinA Maria
~, Chrlstlana, Destroyed = other
ships Forced to RetIre-some
Were Sunk to Prevent
Their Surrender.

The expected conflict between the
American feet, under Commodore
Dewey, and the Spanish feet, under
Admiral Montejo took place in Manila
bay Sunday morning, and apparently
resulted in a crushing defeat to the
Spanish. Dispatches from Madrid
admit that three Spanish cruisers, in
Guiding the flagship of Admiral Mon
tejo, the Reina Maria Christiana,
were destroyed, and that the Spanish
fleet was forced to retire, after burn
ing and sinking some of their ships to
prevent their falling into the hands of
the Americans
There were two engagements, from
the first of which it is averred that
the Americans retired, but it is evil
dent that they showed themselves
again without great delay, after hav-
ing, according to the Spanish account,
landed their wounded on the opposite
side OF the bay from Manila.
The Spanish account declares that
the American fleet suffered severe
lossess," but it makes no mention Of
the extent and does not go into de-
tails. 1t is to be remembered that
the American fleet according to the
Spanish account, suffered severe
losses in the bombardment of Ma
tanzas.
In spite of the very evident fact that
the Spanish fleet was crushingly de-
feated, if not, indeed, practically
wiped out of existence, the Spaniards
in Madrid are claiming Spanish vic
tory, and the minister Tor war an
nounced to his colleagues that he
found difficulty in restraining his
joyful emotions"
Details are very meuger, as aside
from the immense natural difficulties
hampering the dispatch of news from
the Antipodes, the Spaniards are in
control of the wires.

BILE, Admiral Dewey was to obtain

practicable moment As soon as the
junction OF the American and insurgent
forces, the one on sea and the
other on land, is effected, a demand is
likely to be made for the surrender of
the city, and, in the event of refusal

upon it. The result OF such an attack,

1t is regarded as probable that, inn
mediately after the engagements Adj
miral Dewey sent the revenue cutter
McCulloch back to Hong Kong with
dispatches and that the first informa-
ton from him will come from that
point.
The distance from Manila to Hong
Kong is a trife over 800 miles and it
will take the McCulloch about two
days to make the trip.
MADRID, May 2.-The town is greatly
excited by the serious news from the
Philippines and there is an immense
gathering in the Gale de Sevilla. The
civil guards on horseback were called
out to preserve order and all precau-
tions have been taken. There is
much muttering, but up to the pres
emit nothing more serious has occurred.
At the theaters, cafes and in front
of newspaper Offices last evening, the
people loudly lamented the unpre-
paredness of Manila to resist the
American warships, whose attack had
long been expected, The Madrid au-
thorities are determined vigorously to
suppress all street demonstrations.

MADRID, May 1.-The following is
the text of the official dispatch from
the governor general of the Philip
pines to the minister of war, General
Correa, as to the engagement off Ma
Mia:
Last night, April 30, the batteries
at the entrance to the fort announced
the arrival of the enemy, forcing a
passage under the obscurity of the
night At daybreak the enemy took
mp positions, opening with a strong
fire against Fort Cavite and the
arsenal.
Our feet engaged the enemy in a
brilliant combat, protected by the
Cavite and Manila forts They obliged
the enemy, with heavy loss, to ma
neuver repeatedly. At o'clock the
Americans took refuge behind the
foreign merchant shipping, on the
east side of the bay.
"Our fleet, considering the enemy's
superiority, naturally suffered asevere
loss. The Maria Christiana is on fire
and another ship, believed to be the
Don Juan de Austria, was blown up
There was considerable loss of life.
Captain Cadarzo, commanding the
Maria Christiana, is among the killed.
l cannot now give further details.
The spirit of the army navy and vol
unteers is excellent"
Another official telegram received at
late hour from the governor general
of the Philippines, says:
Admiral Montejo has transferred
his flag to the cruiser Isle de Cuba
from the cruiser Reina Maria Chris
tiana. The Reina Maria Christiana
was completely burnt, as was also the
cruiser Castillo, the other ships hav-
ing to retire from the combat and
some being sunk to avoid their falling
into the hands of the enemy"
FL Heraldo De Madrid says that Ad-
miral Montejo changed his flagship
during the engagement, or between
the two encounters, in order to better
direct the maneuvers. He thus es-
capped the fate of the commander Of
the Reina Maria Christiana
The second engagement, according
to Ell Heraldo, was apparently begun
by the Americans, after landing their
wounded on the east side of the bay.
In the latter engagement the Spanish
Mindanoa and Ulloa suffered severely.
During this engagement the Cavite
forts maintained a steadier and
stronger Are upon the American
squadron than in the first engage
ment.
The official dispatch does not men
ton the destruction of any American
vessels, although it says that the
United States squadron finally cas-
anchor in the bay beyond the foreign
merchantmen.
Ministers speak of serious bu
honorable losses"
