LONDON, May 2.-The details of the
battle of Manila have been received at
the British colonial Office. They came
in two cable messages, received Sunday
evening, the substance of which has
heen furnished by the officials of the
colonial office.
The first cable dispatch announces
that the feet entered Manila harbor at
daybreak Sunday, stationiug itself OPP
posite the city. A fort opened FIRE on
the American ships, whereupon they
shifted their position To one near Cavite.
in Manila bay, engaging in a fierce
fight against both The forts and the
Spanish fleet.
The engagement here lasted two
hours, and resulted in the annihilatioa
ofthe Spanish fleet. This dipatch adds
that the American ships withdrew to
their magazine vessel, in the center of
the roldstead, for the purpose of coal
ing. One American vessel, the name
of which is not mentioned, 5 said to
have been disabled
Commodore Dewey requested the
British consul, L. II. Raws1n- Walker,
10 convey a message to the Spanish
governor general, demanding the sur
render of all the torpedOes and guns at
Manila, and the possession of cable of.
Hces, saying that unless these terms
were complied with he would proceed
To lombard the city.
The first of the cable message ends
with the statement that the Spanish
officials were comforting with the Brit
D.
agent, and that pending a decision be
ing arrived at the cables were not per
mitted 10 handle messages.
The second cable dispatch received
by the colonial Office announced that
the Spanish govsrnor-Teneral had re
fused TO surrender the torpedOes anC
guns and cable offices. and that he haC
prevented the agent of the telegraph
company from comforting with Commo
dOrc Dewey.
The message enled with the state
ment that the British governor of the
Straits Settlement expected that the
bombardment OF Manila would begin
on Monday morning, when the Span
iardS would cut the cable.
The first of these cable messages
was received at njnc o'clock Sunday
evening. and the second at midnight.
They have not yet been given to the
newspapers here.
No other messages on the subject
have been receivedin London, although
the foreign Off ,e expects news from the
British consul at Manila. Therefore it
j. supposed that the expectation of the
governor of the Straits Settlement has
been fulfilled AM that the Spaniards
have cut the cable.

WASHINGTON. MAY 2.-It can be stat
ed on authority that the presidents in
structions TO Commodore Dewey do not
involve, specifically, the bombardment
of the city of Manila. but the cOmmo-
dOre was instructed to do whatever
was necessary within the limits of
civilized warfare to take possession of
the island. and if bOmbardment is
necessary TO this end one will take
place. Ii Is expected. however. that
our Asiatic squadron will not lombard
the city of Manila unless ii harbors
troops who arc operating Extensively
against us.
The news that the Spanish soldiers
were to make a stand on the plaza in
dicates that some further resistance is
likely, but it is believed that this can
be overcome by a few well-directed
shells from the warships. The officials
believe. from the information so far re-
ceived through the press. that the
Spanish forts, such as they were
have been destroyed by the American
fleet. So far as is known here. the only
defense of Manila in the shape of for
tifcatiou that amounted TO anything is
located AT Cavite. 1t was scarcely ex-
pected in naval circles that Commodore
Dewey would act with such great
promptness in entering the inner har-
Dor. 1t was known that the harbor at
its mouth was too wide TO be commanded
by the inferior ordnance of the Span
iards. and that the water was too deep
TO permit the successful defense of the
inner habor bv mines The charts
show that the harbor entrance is no
less than five miles across. But it is
by no means certain that mines have
not been placed in the inner harbor,
and il was a pluclly undertaking for

Notwithstanding the severe damage
the Spanish ships sustained, naval of
ficers here consider that further op-

where they could repair and coal, or

waves were tremendous. Even the big
battleships were unsteady, the smaller
vessels being tossed about like shells
with every wave.
But, after the ships had remained in
this position for several hours, it be-
came evident that no immediate move
ment was contemplated. The flagship
finally drew away from the others, and
steamed slowly past MORO castle with

fleet then opened out, and returned to
their various stations along the coast.

would be delivered at the STATE
department week ago last Friday
in the beginning of Office hours.
Spain has acted defsntly in dis
patching her torpedo tlotilla Of
thirteen vessels TO the West In
dies. She simply took the
chances of provoking a rup
ture against those of being
caught uuprepared by declara-
ton of war from the United States.
1t may also be reasonably surmis
ed that the sending over of the
fotilla was much in the nature of
a concession to the popular de-
mands for resisting American die
tatinn in Cuban Affairs. In thu
United States Senator Ihurston's
speech is oil, not to smoothe the
troubled waters, but TO make the
war flame burst the confines in
which President Mckinley has
thus far, with great political abili
