Believed In Washington.

Washington July 2S.--A rumor here
that Manila has surrendered to the
American forces, while lacking official
confirmation, which in these days of red
tape Is often bit behindhand, is given
credence by many who have been close
ly following the march of events in the
Philippines.
For weeks past 1t has been admitted
on all hands that the Spanards We're
sadly beleaguered and as between two
evils decided in favor of trusting to the
tender mercies of the Americans rather
than to the insurgents.
Then, just as a straw, to show how
badly off the Spanish troops were a
week ago, came the pompous procama-
ton by Aguinaldo. defining how far he
would recognize the Americans, pro-
claiming protectorate with himself as
leader and decorating himself with a
collar of gold, whistle of the same
precious metal and an umbrella or two.
Dewey Wa. Ignored.
All this was without the recognition
or consent of Admiral Dewey, who had
many weeks before-May l, to be ex-
act-destroyed Spanish squadron and
hosted the flag of the United States
over the fortress of Cavite.
From this latter event on the insur-
gents have been hard pressing the
Spaniards in Manila. Nothing prevent
ed Admiral Dewey from landing and
cleaning up what he had so we'll begun
save orders from home and the long
| wait for military endorsements and
the arrival of Major General Wesley
Merritt, who by this government hac
| been designated governor general, OF
rather military governor, of the Philip
| pines.
Despite the lack of official informa
ton it is recognized that Admiral Dew
ey is a man of action. That has beer
amply demonstrated by his quick deci
sions when 1t looked as though Ger
many, through Admiral Diederichs, wa
anxious to mix up" in Philippine af
fairs. There is little doubt if any crisis
has occurred in China waters Admira
Dewey has been equal to the emergeno.
and that we have the Philippines ever
more securely than before.

HAS MANILA FALLEN2
Madrid Sends Out Report Of the City's
Surrender.
WASHINGTON CREDITS NEWS
Those Who Have Been Closely Following
Events In the Philippines Readily
Believe That Crisis Has
Taken Place.

London, July est is reported here
from Madrid that Manila has surren-
dered to the Americans. The Madrid
officials are much exercised, as they be-
lieve that Manila has been bombarded
ny the American fleet and at the same
time attacked on the land side by II, 900
Americans and 10000 insurgents.
Many discredit the reports, however,
and believe that Captain General Au-
gusti, who has about 10000 European
soldiers, sailors and marines, will make
a stubborn resistance. 1t is confidently
hoped he will in no case surrender to
any one but Admiral Dewey.

Ernst's brigade were countermanded upon re-
CENT Of the Presidents order TO suspend hos

General Wilson this morning sent a party
with a flag of truce to notify the Spaniards OF
the suspension Of hostilities. but the flag was
not respected This was by order OF Governor
General Macias. As General Maclas has no
communication with Madrid. he may thus cut
himself off from official notification of the stua-
ton. although natives have been sent through
the Spanish lines to spread the news that ces-
sa,ion Of hostilities had been ordered.
The soldiers Of the American Army received
the news Of peace with delight. although some
are disappointed that there is TO be no further
nehting and many officers express regret at the
suspension of hostties in the midst of the cam
paign.
