Will treat insurgents anu SpdnlaruS
alike, requiring all to observe peace
and order"
No Report from Gen. Merritt.
Aside from this joint dispatch, the
only other word received from Manila
during the day was in the brief dis
patch from Admiral Dewey
ing the surrender of the city last
Saturday. A detailed dispatch from
Gen. Merritt vas eagerly awaited
throughout the day, as it was feared
that the sharp engagement of the land
forces during the storming of Manila
had resulted in some casualties
on our side; but no dispatch
came from Gen. Merritt up to the close
of Office hours, except the one in which
he joins with Admiral Dewey in asking
for instructions.
Secretary Alger concluded from this
that the casualties could not have been
heavy, as he felt sure Gen. Merritt
would promptly report any considera-
BILE loss. There was a bare possibility
that a cipher dispatch from Merritt
had miscarried.
No Reference to the German Cruiser
kaisereln Au gusta.
1t was noted that neither the first
dispatch of Admiral Dewey nor the
joint dispatch of Dewey and Merritt
made any reference whatever to the
part which the German cruiser Kais-
erein Augusta took IN removing Capt.
Gen. Augusti from Manila to Hong
Kong. From this the officials believe
that the American commanders do not
attach serious significance to the course
of the German naval authorities.
The incident continues to cause some
irritation here, but it is practically
certain that 40 official c~ognizance will
be taken of it. A high official of the
naval department said hat at most the
conduct of the German naval comman-
der was in bad taste. There is no
disposition in any official quarter at
present to carry the incident to the
point of considering it a breach of neu.
trality as has been suggested in some
British newspapers.
