Adsilral Dswsy.

New York. Aug. IA special dis
patch from Manila. Aug. Is. via Hons
Kong. to the New York Journal, says:
Five American soldiers were killed
and about Is wounded in the capture Of
Manila. this afternoon.
The Stars and Stripes were raised
over the city, at $40 O'Clock In the
afternoon. In the bay Admiral Dew
ey's fleet thandered national salute.
The combined naval and land forces
were employed In the capture OF the
Spanish stronghold Of the Philippines.
Ae O'Clock. In, the morning. the signal
to begin firing was set on Admiral
Dewey's flagship.
The authorities in the city and the
consuls Of foreign powers had previ-
ously been notified of the intended
bambardment. For two hours great
shells were thrown into the city.
After the bOmbardment the troops
moved forward to attack the Spaniards
in the trenches. There had been no re-
ply to Dewey's bombardment, but the
land forces met with a hot reception.
Bot the onward rush OF the Amers-
cans could not be stayed. With loss
of five killed and over two score
wounded. they drove back the Span
iards and captured the trenches.
In a short time the white flag was
raised by the Dons. and 1000 soldiers.
$4,000 rifles and q great quantity OF am
munitiOn was surrendered.
The Spanish loss has not yet been
ascertained. 1t is probably several
times as large as that Of the American
forces.
THE Spanish forces numbered about
1000 men, but they were well entrench-
ed. Nearly 10000 Americans were en-
gagged in the assault, and their losses
under the circumstances are consider
ed small. The Colorado troops were
the first to storm the trenches, and
every man was q hero.
When the white flag went up, Cap
tain General Augustin jumped into a
launch from the German cruiser Kali
serin Augusta. The cruiser then left
with him on board for Hong Kong.
The Filipinos are glad that the
struggle is over. The shops are again
open. the blockade has been raised and
things will soon he just as they were
before Admiral Dewey came to de-
stroy Spanish rule here.

brief dispatch announcing the fall of Ma

resent, occurred several hours after the

ers and the meeting of the COrtes were

AuGUsTiN's C0WARDIcE.
Even the Germans Snow Manila's Comman.
der in Bad Light.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-THE Nord Dottsch
Allgemeine Zeitung explains that the
'Kaiserin Augusta. which brought away
Gen. Augustin from Manila, left the
harbor after the surrender of the city.
and asserts that the Spanish Officers
were allowed to so free, so that Gen
Augustin was able to so whether he
pleased.
when Admiral Won Diedrchs per-
mitted him to so to Hong Kong on
board the Kaiserin Augusta" says the
paper, 1T was by agreement with the
American cOmlnander-inch chief. If in
deed the German admiral considered
such an agreement still necessary.
Moreover, it is also to be observed
that the Spanish troops at Manila may.
by mutual consent, proceed to Spain or
Hong Kong

s1Rlct ORDERS
Continued from page ~

engagement Of the land forces during
the storminssof Manila had resulted in
some casualties on our side. But no
dispatch came from Gen. Merritt up
to the close Of office hours, today, ex-
cept the one in which he Joins with
Admiral Dewey in asking for instruc-
lions.
Secretary Alger concluded from this
dispatch that the casualties could not
have been very heavy as he felt sure
Gen. Merritt would promptly report
any considerable loss. There was a
bare possibility that cipher dispatch
from Merritt had miscarried.
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-
erin Augusta took in removing Captain
General Augustin 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 au-
thorities.
The incident continues to cause
some irritation here but it is practi-
cally certain that no official cogni-
zance willtbe taken OF 1t. A high Off
cial OF the navy department said at
most the course of the German naval
commander was one of bad taste.
There is no disposition in any Off
ciai quarter at present to carry the in
cident to the point of considering it a
breach OF neutrality, as has been sug-
gested in some British newspapers.
