from the Marblehead went up the bay
this afternoon to Vertcaya del Toro,
opposite Caimanera, and gave formal
notice to the Spanish commander of the
surrender of General ToraIs troops, to-
gether with the conditions of the capt.
ulation of Santiago, A limited time was
fixed for hauling down the Spanish flag
over Caimanera.
The American officer also gave notice
that If the Spanish gunboat Sandoval
was disabled in any way. or If any
arms, ammunition, public buildings or
barracks at Caimanera or Guantanamo
were destroyed the Spaniards would not
be treated as prisoners of war. The
flag was hauled down this afternoon.
From Spanish sources it is learned
that the total force in Guantanamo and
Caimanera is about 5000, of which num-
Der, however, only about 5000 are fit
for service, the others being disabled by
sickness and wounds.
Tomorrow steps will be taken for a
formal surrender. What disposition
will be made of the prisoners has not
yet been determined because of the
presence of yellow fever among them.

with few general goods from Trieste.
There were no cases, such as those de-

Come time SGD it was decided to
convey school children in Berlin to

on the theory that their morals and
manners were contaminated by riding
in the public tramcars. But they
have been indulging in so many fights
and othecwise so misconducting them
selves that the special omnibus SER

themselves into band of Corsairs and

And during all the hours Of engagement
the American fleet, although shelled by
ships and shore batteries, did not lose
single man.
Six sailors were slightly wounded. This
represented the sum Of casualties to the
fleet of Admiral Dewey, as none OF his
ships was injured.
The Spanish loss was 800 killed and 400
wounded Admiral Montijo's ships caught
fire one by one aud either sank in their
positions or were run ashore to save the
lives of their remaining men.
The battle of Manila began at daybreak,
the Spanish fleet firing the first shot. Dur
ing the preceding night Admiral Dewey
had taken his ships past CorreSidor Island
and through the mine fields without dis
aster.
The challenge to battle was flung by the
Reina Christina. The Olympia replied, and
Immediately afterward the entire American
fleet was in action.
The Spanish ships did not hesitate in
their fire and the batteries at Cavite
loosened their heavy guns.
Soon after the opening OF the engage
ment the Spanish flagship took fire and
Admiral Montijo had to transfer his flag to
the Isla de Cuba.
The cruiser Castillo also burst in flames
under the remarkable gunnery OF the
American sailors.
Besides engaging the Spanish ships, Adj
miral Dewey directed Il hot fire against the
batteries. This made it imperative that
every shot should tell.
This was surprise to the fleet OF Ad-
miral Montijo. the Spanish Commander-in-
Chief, who thought himself secure under
the guns of Manila and Cavte.
Admiral Dewey's battle line was led by
the flagship Olympia and the cruiser Ra-
