London. May 9.--Furthcr particulars
cleaned from the special dispatches from

sells. not having got up steam, fought at
a great disadvantage, compared with
the great mobility of Commodore Dew

entrance of the bay in bright moonlight;
and the attack was therefore postponed
for Il few hours till the conditions were
more favorable. One American cruiser
returned the fire from the forts on en-
tering but was ordered to desist by the
flagship. Commodore Dewey having th'

themselves and their dead from the

The only loss on the American YES
