by our ships was remarkable feat of

cessfully, the numerous shadows.
All is now over at Cavite. Commo-
dore Dewey awaits the decision of the
governor-general of the Philippines be-
fore commencing the bombardment of
Manila.
Refused TO Surrender.
Commodore Dewey requested the
British consul, e. E. Rawson Walker, to
convey message to the Spanish gov
ernor-general demanding the surrender
If all the torpedoes and guns at Manila
and the possession of the cable offices,
saying that unless these terms were
complied with he would proceed to
lombard the city.
The second cable dispatcy received
by the colonial Office announced that
the Spanish governor-genera had re-
fused to surrender the torpedoes, guns
and cable offices and that he had pre-
vented the agent of the telegraph com
pany from comforting with Commodore
Dewey.

Manila harbor at daybreak Sunday
stationing itself opposite the city. A
fort opened fire on the American ships,
whereupon they shifted their position
to one near Cavite, in Manila bay, en-
gaging in a fierce fight against both
the forts and the Spanish fleet.
The engagement here lasted two
hours and resulted in the annihilation
of the Spanish fleet.
The Spaniards fought bravely against
superiorfo force and suffered heavy losses.
Four hundred Spanish are reported
killed, including two commanders.
Their loss by fire is also probably very
great. The Spaniards would not give
in, and when the American fleet re-
turned to Cavite some shots were fired
from the forts on shore, but our ships
poured in such terrible cannonade
that further resistance was impossible.
American Craft Uniniured.
The American ships were apparently
.uninjured. Commodore Dewey's at
tack was well carried out. The ma

which set on fire u number of native
hnts at Manila during the engage
nent.
Washington, May 3.-Naval officials
are inclined to discredit the statement
in dispatches from Madrid that Admiral
Dewey employed petroleum bombs IN
reduction of the city of Manila. In
TACT, no definite information could be
obtained that the American squadron
is supplied with such instruments of
destruction. II is regarded as quite
likely that, in the event of a lombard
ment of the city, the bursting of shells
would start serious fires, and perhaps
result in a confagration; but that Adj
miral Dewey used bombs with the ex-
press idea of firing the city, is deemed
utterly improbable, unless he was
pressed 10 extreme measures, which is
not thought to be likely. The belief is
prevalent in official circles that if fire
occurred the Spaniards, confronted by
the inevitable fall of the city, them
selves applied the torch, thereby car.
rying into effect the threat which they
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1898-05-07

have made concerning both Manila and
Havana, that the cities should never
fall into the hands of the Americans
except as heaps of smouldering ruins.
MOnteJO Admits Defeat.
Madrid, May "a dispatch to the
Liberal from Manila says Admiral
Montejo, the Spanish commander, ac-
knowledges that the Spanish feet has
been completely demolished. He adds
that the crew of the Spanish warship
Mindanao has been saved.
Dewey's Latest Demand
Madrid, May 3.-.El Liberal says Com
modore Dewey, of the United States
squadron in the Philippines, has de-
manded the surrender of all Spanish
vessels in the Archipelago, threatening
to lombard the ports if the demand is
refused.
A German View of the Situation.
Berlin, May at is believed in po-
litical circles here that America has
gained the prize she really had in view,
having promised not to annex Cuba,
but giving no promise as to the Philip
pines.
