TWOnOURS' CANNONADf
SAW THE SPANISH FLEET SUNK
OR DISABLED
AB0MBARDM ENT OF THE TOWN
Can Only Be Avoided by Prompt Sub
mission to the Demands of
Commodore Dewey
Associated Press Special Wire

LONDON, May 2.-(Copyright. 1898, by
the Associated Press.) The details OF the
battle of Manila have been received at the
British Colonial Office. They came in two
cable messages, received yesterday even
ing, the substance of which has been fur
nished to the Associated Press by the Off
Gals of the Colonial Office today.
The first cable dispatch announces that
the American fleet entered Manila har-
Dor at daybreak yesterday, stationing it,
self opposite the city. A fort opened fire
on the American ships, whereupon they
shifted their position to one near Cavite
IN Manila bay, engaging in a fierce fight
against both the forts and the Spanish
fleet.
The engagement here lasted two hours
and resulted in the humiliation of the
Spanish fleet. This dispatch adds that the
American ships withdrew to their maya
zine vessel, in the center of the roadsteai
for the purpose of coaling. One American
vessel, the name of which is not men,
toned is believed to have been disabled.
Commodore Dewey requested the British
Consul, E. P. Rawson-W Walker to convey
a message to the Spanish Governor-Gen-
eral, demanding the surrender of all the
torpedoes and guns at Manila, and the pos
session of the cable offices, saying that I'M
less these terms were complied with he
would proceed to lombard the city.
The first of the cable messages ends with
the statement that the Spanish officials
were comforting with the BritishConsul and
the telegraph company's agent, and that,
pending a decision being arrived at the
cables were not permitted to handle mes
sages.
The second cable dispatch received by
the Colonial Office announced that the
Spanish Governor General had refused to
surrender the torpedoes, guns and cable Of
fees, and that he had prevented the agent
of the telegraph company from comforting
with Commodore Dewey.
The message ends with the statement
that the British Governor of the Straits
Settlement expected that the bombardment
of Manila would begin on Monday morn
ing, when the Spaniards would cut the
cable.
The first of these cable messages was re-
ceived at o'clock yesterday evening and
the second was received at midnight. They
have not yet been given to the newspapers
here.
No other messages on the subject have
been received in London although the For
eign Office expects news from the British
Consul at Manila. Therefore, 1t is sup
posed that the expectation of the Govern
or Of the Straits Settlement has been full
filed and that the Spaniards have cut the
cable.
The officials here gathered from the fact
that Commodore Dewey's demands at Ma
rfIo arc limited TO the guns torpedoec n nd
cable, that he does not consider he has a
force sufficient to land and occupy the
town.

AT WASHINGTON
No Doubt Felt That the Victory Is
Complete

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Joy beamed on
every countenance at the Navy Depart
ment this morning and the officials ex-
changed enthusiastic congratulations on
Commodore Deweys victory, as they en-
tered the departments to take up their
daily tasks. Many of the officers were
worn to the verge of nervous prostration
by the exhausting labors of the last few
weeks, but all fatigue was forgotten for the
moment as they stopped to talk of the bat.
tie Of Manila. There was anxious inquiry
from all sources for details of the fight.
1t was realized by the officials that MOTH
ing can be expected directly from Com
modore Dewey in the usual course for at
least two days more. There is, however,
a possibility, which is magnifed by ex-
pectant minds here into probability, thai
some information at least more reliable
and freer from color than that which comes
from Madrid may be forthcoming through
the British Foreign Office.
While the Spanish government in the
case of an emergency might take absolute
possession of the cable Office at Manila, it
is not customary to deny access to it to the
diplomatic and consular officials of neutral
governments. The cabled reports that the
British Consul-General at Manila had a
conference after the conflict with Commo-
dore Dewey indicates clearly that he is at
least in possession Of the American story
of the naval battle and probably has been
acquainted with the extent of the loss suf.

which have been received so far of the en-
