While the ministers yesterday evening
were discussing Governor General Angus

that the newspaper men had received
news of the second engagement. General
Correa and Admiral Bermejo Immediate
ly communicated with their departments
and found that a fresh despatch was berg

| despatch to be brought to the council for
disappearing. This confused wording of
| the message showed the state of mind of
the sender, Admiral Montejo, but finally
its contents were calculated and demon
strated to the minister's horror the com
plete destruction of the Spanish squadron.
General CorreA and Admiral Bermejo
went straight to the Queen Regent, who
was terribly distressed.
Madrid was not excited this morning,
but sad faces were to be seen everywhere.

at the admiralty, the brilliant defeat OF
the Spanish fleet by the Asiatic feet OF
the United States at the battle of Manila,
was the one great subject talked OF
throughout the day. The United States
embassy was the centre of interest for
all London.
The United States ambassador, Col.
John Hay, is overjoyed at this demonstra-

The preponderance of sentiment in the
British navy seems to be with the Ameri-

proofs of their Partially. international
courtesy, however, debarred the high
officials from commenting on the result.
All the information obtainable here
concerning the Spanish force of auxiliary
cruisers, in regard to which reports have
emanated from Madrid, tends to show
that it has been over-estimated.

WEYLER'S EXCUSES.
Thinks He Would Like To Invade
s.2 'fllis Countrr.

London, May 5-The Daily Telegraph
with Lieut.. Gen. Weyler, former Gov
ernor-G General Of Cuba.
In reply to a suggestion that some peo-
pie had thought his administration cruel,
Gen. Welyer said: II don't know.
don't trouble to consider. am military
man and do not live for myself, but MY
country. I WAS sent to make war upon
the rebels and / did this and neither
more or less than this. When rebel was
caught with arms in his hands treated
him as a prisoner of war and sent him
before the tribunal exactly as had been
done before. When caught dastardly
dynamiter or rutfianly assassin who
stabbed unarmed men or violated women
once his guilt was made clear I ordered
him to be shot. If that be cruelty, GER
tainly was cruel and am prepared
to become SO again.
ST have earned the hatred and pro-
voked the curses of the sworn enemies of
Spain; hut it will never cause me bad
nights sleep.
II did not originate tine scheme of
recommendation. If it were mine would
avow it. The scheme was the upshot of
war, the growth of abnormal conditions,
rather than q deliberate plan. 1t was
rife In the time of CaInpos. did every.
thing for them except to give up the SOL
diers' rations and to allow our troops
die of hunger. I am soldier and have
never considered it my duty to wrap up
my rifle balls in wadding lest hurt my
enemy.
WAR is not a picnic. In the present
crisis we should make a bold dash into
the enemy's country. 1t would do more
good than the most regular mechanical
defense. I am ready to return to Cuba
tomorrow to help repair the mistakes of
the past.

CABLE INTERRUPTED.
Only Very Meagre News From
Manila. sig

Hong Kong, May 2. Ills p. m.-There
is no news of the American squadron
beyond private telegram from Capt.
Concha Of the Spanish cruiser Don Juan
de Austria to his children at the convent
school here, mentioning that firing has
been heard in the direction of Corregidor
island. and it is assumed from this that
the Americans were accommodating the
entrance and trying the southern side
of the island, which is six miles wide and
surrounded by rocks and shoals, though
not believed to be mined. There is no
news either of the Spanish squadron, but
according to the latest advices it could
not take the offensive in any case.
The cable to Manila is now interrupted.
The steamer Esmeralda, chartered by
the banking companies to bring away
the specie from Manila, has not reached
here and it is believed she has been board
ed by the Americans.

London, May 2.-The details of tn
battle Of Manila havs been received at the
British colonial Office. 1t came in two
cable messages recsived last evening, the

ships, whereupon they shifted their posi-
ton to near Cavita in Manila bay, engag-
ing in fierce fight against the forts and
Spanish fleets.
The engagement lasted two hours and

This dispatch adds THAT the American
ships withdrew to their magazine vessel
In the centre of the roadstead for the pur-
pose of coaling.
One American vessel, whose name is
not mentioned, is said to have been dis
abled.
Commodore Dewey requested the Brit.
ish consul, Mr.. Il. n. Rawson- Walker, to
convey message to the Spanish govern
or-general, demanding the surrender OF
all the torpedoes and guns at Manila and
the possession of the cable offices, saying
that unless these terms we're complied
with he would proceed to lombard the
city.
The first cable message ends with the
statement that the Spanish officials were
comforting with the British consul and
the telegraph companys agent and that,
pending decision being arrived at, the
cables were not permitted to handle mes
sages.
The second cable despatch received by
the colonial office announces that the
