The capture of the town and garri-
son was neatly planned and splendidly
executed. The Sixteenth Pennsylvu-
mia Volunteers moved to point off
the north of the town at night, and,
by Il forced march of eight miles across
the mountains, arrived at the rear of
the town about 7 o'clock in the morn
ing, just in time to cut off the enemy's
retreat.
AT daylight the Third Wisconsin and
Troop G, of Brooklyn, moved by the
right flank, and the artillery, support,
ed by the Second Wisconsin, advanced
in the center The Fourth Cavalry
took up position from which 1t could
gallop to the field and sweep the val
ley into the town.
AT 7 o'clock fire was opened upon
the blockhouse, which was hammered
with shell and shrappel. The Span
iards replied with few shots from
their Mausers and then fled.
The blockhouse was soon ablaze, and
the artillery fire in front ceused at
1:45 u. III.
Almost Immediately volley firing was
heard In the rear Of the town. The
Spaniards, In seeking to escape, ran
straight into the arms of Col. uuling s
regiment, posted ON the hills COM
manding the road.
The enemy sought protection in
trenches, but they could not withstand
the deadly fire. With their command
er and the two captains killed they
We're compelled to surrender
a troop of fifty Spanish cavalry es-
capped through the mountains, our cav
airy being unable to pursue them.
The Spanlnrds had destroyed the
stone bridge across the river Coamo,
leading into the town, but 1t was evi-
dent that they We're not prepared 10
make strong resistance, as no artll-
lery was posted there.
The natives received the Americans
with delight. Gen. Wilson, immedi-
ately after taking the town, pushed
the Wisconsin troops mile out be-
yond, where they will camp for the
night.

"\yILDAIAN. Consul"

Hong Kong, Aug. 1.-THE German
warship Kaiserin Augusta arrived here
Monday from Manila, having on board
Gen. Augustin, Captaln-General Of the
Philippine Islands.
Gen. Augustin shortly after his ar
rival had conference with the Span
iSh Consul here. Newspaper men
sought TO interview him, but he de-
clined to say anything further than
that he was proceeding to Spain as
rapidly as possible.
The officers and crew of the Kaiserin
Augusta were equally reticent and re-
fused to say under what circumstances
Gen Augustin left Manila. 1t Is re-
marked that the fastest German crui,-
er was used to bring him to Hong
Kong.
The Kaisern Augusta brought only
few mails for the German Consul.
AT present the Consul is at Canton.
His mails have therefore not been
opened yet.
