ONLY THE CITY SURRENDERED
BELIEF THAT THE ARCHIPEL-
 AGO WAS NOT INCLUDED.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Among the war officials the terms of the capitu- lation of Manila, as cabled by General Merritt. were a topic of discussion. NO light has been thrown upon the terms by General Merritt. He cabled the terms themselves, expecting probably to forward by mail the construction placed upon them by the American ana Spanish officers at Manila.
 Unofficial advices from Manila re- ceiyed previous to the arrival Of the text of the terms indicated that the
 equalization of the city included the surrender of the Philippines. and that Spanish sovereignty over the entlre archipeIago was, temporarily at least, at an end This view is not sustained
 by the conditions of the surrender as cabled by General Merritt; ana, IL may
 be said. it is not the view taken by the
 best informed officials of the admins
 tration. While some Of the war au
 thorities last night were inclined to the
 opinion that the articles of capltula-
 tion. necessarily and naturally some
 what elastic in their phraseology'
 might be construed to mean the sur-
 render of Spanish control over the en-
 tire Philippines group, thes prevalent
 opinion now is that they mean preclse-
 ly what they say, and that the sur render includes only the city Of Ma
 nila and its immediate surroundings,
 or suburbs, as 1t is expressed Tn the articles.
 It can be said authoritatively the President is quite satisfied with the terms as made by General Merritt and Admiral Dewey Their instructions af- forded them considerable latitude Tor individuality of action, the President feeling confident that they would se- cure the best possible terms in the circumstances. That they nave uoiie so he is certain. It is pointed out that the terms or the equalization of Manila can have but little effect upon the action or the Paris peace commission. in any event. The protocol as signed by the accred- ited representatives of the governments of the United States and Spain pro- vides for the cession of the city. bay and harbor of Manila to the United
 States. and leaves it to the peace com mission to determine the disposition and government of the Philippine 1s- 1 lands.
 l Whether, therefore. Spain is to re- l tain her sovereignty over the islands ] is a question to be decided by the ! Paris commission. The action or the 1 commission is circumscribed by the 1 provisions of the protocol. while the i terms of the equalization of Manila, | it is suggested, can have very little more serious effect upon the commits 1 sion's work than those of the surrender 1 of Santiago.

OUR LOSSES AT MANILA.
Forty-Six Killed and One Hundred
 Wounded.

HONGKONG, Aug. 21.-Officers of the steamer China from Manila, which has arrived here, report that it was evident that the resistance of the Spaniards when Manila was attacked by the Americans was merely nominal and was made solely to maintain the honor of Spain The officers talked with ex- press the belief that the escape of Governor General Augusti was pre- arranged and was we'll understood by Admiral Dewey.
 A dispatch from Manila, dated Au- gust IS, says the total number of killed on the American side during the attack upon and capture of Manila was forty six and the wounded about 100. The Spanish losses were about 200 killed and 400 wounded. The fire of the Americans did practically no damage to the town nor to the non-combatants. The Americans had considerable diff culty in keeping the insurgents out of the city, only admitting those who were without weapons.
 Five insurgents were shot while loot ing at Tondo. An insurgent officer De- came involved in a quarrel with Span . iard in the Escolta, in the Binondo sub urb, during which the Spaniard fired upon the insurgent, inf1icting wounds in the latter's legs. The Spanlard was arrested and imprisoned.
 General Merritt has issued procla- nation decreeing that the provisional Government and the local authorities shall retain their offices and that every thing shall remain unchanged for the present. except SO far as the supreme Jurisdiction is concerned. The procla- nation further declares that any na- tive who resists the present authorities shall be treated as a lawbreaker.
 General Jaudenes, in the course of an interview had with him by the repre- sentative of the Associated Press, said he knew the fight was hopeless one, but that he intended to resist the Amer jeans in the name of honor, put was persuaded to surrender for the sake Of the non-combatants. He eulogized the Americans for the humanity they have shown.
 The last official act of General Jau- denes was to fine journalist for speak ing the truth. The journalist requested the correspondent to state that he had loyally done his best for the country. He had thrice been punished, had fought bravely as volunteer had been captured and released, and, further, was ready to fight again. but was ut terly disgusted with Government and a nation which tolerates and welcomes the Americans"
 Serious trouble is threatened by the insurgents because they were prevented from having their own way. They as- sert that they are able to render the islands untenable for anybody
