Mia special dated August 10, via Hong
Kong, says:
The hardest fighting at the capture
of Manila was done by the Aston bat
terry, which led the advance. General
Macarthur, commanding the brigade,
complimented the men in the highest
terms right in the midst of the bat
tie for their valor and success. The
Astor battery led the column, sup
ported by the Minnesota volunteers
and the Twenty-third regulars. The
Utah battery's guns were too heavy
to move through the swamps. The
march was along the Pasig road. on
the right of the river Pasig, where
the fleet could give no assistance.
At the junction of the Cingalon road
the vanguard came without warning
upon q strong Spanish intrenchment.
Suddenly the enemy rained a deadly
fire upon the Americans, killing two
men of the Aston battery, First Ser
geant Holmes n Second Sergeant
Cremins, and one Minnesota man, Pri-
vate Patterson, at the same time
wounding a score of others. Sergeant
Cremins, after he wa shot, started to
his gun, fred it and the next moment
fell dead beside the piece.
Forced to Fail Back.
The Aston battery was forced to fall
back from the deadly fire, temporarily
leaving two guns. But the reserves
under Colonel Ovcnshine came up
promptly and with their support the
Astors charged the enemy with only
revolvers as weapons,quiclly rcgained
their guns and put both into action
again with increased vigor. The Span
iards were then speedily put to fight.
The following is the list of casual
ties in the Astor battery:

The Spanish loss is estimated at not

VAST Stores Captured.
Vast stores of military and naval
supplies were seized. The casualties
on the American side were confined
to the land side. Net a man on the
feet was injured. Through four lines
of intrenchments extending for two
miles, the enemy was driven in. a
panic to the walled portion of Manila.
There the Spaniards surrendered. As
the stars and stripes were raised over
the official residence of the governor,
Captain General Jaudenes. burst into
