FIGHT AT MANZANnLLO.
Engageent Said to Have Resulted
Seriously for the Americans.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Acting Secre-
tary Allen, of the navy department,
has received a dispatch notifying him
that naval war force sent by Adj
miral Sampson had appeared in the
harbor of Manzanillo and demanded
it's surrender. The commandant of
the city declined to comply with the
demand and an engagement took place
which is said TO have resulted very
seriously for the Americans. The fight
at Manzanilo was begun at o'clock,
twenty-three minutes before the pro-
tocol was signed, by bombardment
from the fleet. 1t was reported last
evening that marines had been landed
but the dispatch received by Gen.
Greedy from the signal office at Playa
del Este made no such statement. At
the navy department it is said that
the only vessels at Manzanillo are
some blockading vessels, which could
not have conducted the operations de-
scribed in the message received.

WASHINGTON. President Mckinley
has rendered places on the proposed
commission to investigate the war dS

the Hispano-American war to Major
General Schofield, former command

them is the best that can be afforded
and if not to ascertain what should be
done and report to the war department.
