CAvITE, Aug. G, via Kongkong, Aug.
11.-Manlla is stunned by the splendid
fighting of the Americans in the battle
of Sunday night, July 81. The Span
ish soldiers and residents actually ex-
pected a grand victory, they were con-
fident of driving the enemy into the
sea after reading lying reports Of the
condition and of the Americans. The
Spanish loss was heavy, including sew
eral officers. The Spaniards planned to
turn the American right flank, making
a joint attack ON the front and right
1t was the intention to kill as many
of the Americans as possible, ami
thereby demolish the entire force be
fore 1t could advance on Manila.
They fought doggedly to carry out
their purpose, but the steady fire of the
Americans caused the enemy's with
drawal into the Malate forts and
trenches.
Aguinaldo may yet have to flee from
Manila, and, indeed, his friends already
have two small steamers in the bay
provisioned ready to take him aboard
of either in case he is in danger. The
influence of the leader wanes con-
stantly, the more insurgents realize he
has made them assurances he can in no
way ill.
The Americans put little or no trust
III Aguinaldo and the entire army be-
heyes he would betray them If it served
his purpose. They are disguised with
the conduct OF Aguinaldo, the lnsur.
gent leader, whose power is weakening,
owing to the fact that the Filipinos are
realizing the unsubstantiality of his
promises
The American field hospital worked
splendidly, under a calling fire, at the
late battle and remarkable courage and
steadlness of all ranks, regulars and
volunteers, caused General Greene to
officially thank the troops.
The Spaniards used Mauser and Rem
ington rifles with brass-coated bullets.
