 NEW YORK, Aug 18.-A special dis patch from Manila of August 13, via Hong Kong to the Journal, says: Five American soldiers were killed and about forty-fve wounded in the capt. ure of Manila this afternoon. The Stars and Stripes were raised over the city at 5: :45 o'clock in the afternoon, In the bay Admiral Dewey's fleet thundered national salute. The combined land and naval forces were employed in the capture of the Spanish stronghold of the Philippines. At o'clock in the morning signal to be- gin firing was set on Admiral Dewey 'e flagship. Tho authorities in the city and consuls of the foreign powers had previously been notified of the intend ed bombardment. For two hours the great shells were thrown into the city After the bombardment the troops moved forward to the attack of the Spaniards in the trenches. There had been DO reply to Dewey's lombard. ment, but the land forces met with 6 hot reception; but the onward rush oi the Americans could not be stayed. With the loss of five killed and over two scores wounded they drove back the Spaniards and captured the trenches. In short time white flag was hoisted by the Dons and 2 ,000 sol diers, 200 rifles and great quantity of ammunition was surrendered. The Spanish loss has not yet beeu ascer- tained. It is probably several times as large US that of the American forces. The Spanish forces numbered about 5000 men, but they were well entrench- ed, and nearly 10000 Americans were engaged in the assault and their loss under the circumstances is considered small. The Colorado troops were the first to storm the trenches and every man was hero. Then the white flag went up and Captain-General Augusti jumped into a launch from the German cruiser Kaiserin Augusta. The cruiser then left with him on board for Hong Kong. The Filipinos are glad that the struggle is over. The ports are again open and the blockade raised. Az ownhc,,o-a rate ofF fl,a 4ofI,~~,s :.
