A HOPELESS RESISTANCE.
10000 Troops and the Warships At
tackled 5000 Spaniards.

! London, Aug. 1.-THE Manila CORES
pondent of the Daily Telegraph, tele-
| graphing Saturday, says: Nothing
could be more humane than the Amer
| leans capture of the town. General
Merritt and Admiral Dewey's plan was
to spare every object but the armed
defenses and the trenches. Apparently
the American losses We're extremely
small.
The Spanish entertainments varied
in point of distance from two to four
miles from the center Of Old Manila.
Defending this long line of at least ten
miles were not over, and probably I'M
der, 5000 Spanish regular troops, VOL
unteers and natives. About half that
number were in the hospital The at
lacking force numbered from 10000 to
10000 natives and 10000 Americans on
shore, and the fleet. In every respect
the advantage was on the side of the
attack. The American field guns threw
heavier metal and had longer range
than the Spanish; the craftsmanship
of the United States gunners was much
superior to that of the Spaniards, and
the men were stronger and in better
condition. The Spaniards are a small
race compared with their stalwart OPP
ponents, and worn out by 100 days
siege and disappointment by the nom
arrival of the promised Spanish relief
squadron, they had lost heart. It was
a hopeless struggle.

NO PAY FOR CUBANs.
Proposition Cannot Be Entertained
By Our Government

Washington, Aug. 16-Secretary AL
ger and other members of the cabinet
took occasion to deny the truth of the
reports current in Cuba of an agree
ment to disband the Cuban insurgents
and for the United States to pay them
off in the interest of promoting peace
full conditions on the island. The prOpo-
sition, it is stated, would not be enter
tanned by this government, and it is
further suggested that such an action
would require legislative sanction and
an act of congress.

HORRIBLE SPECTACLE
AT SANTIAGO CEMETERY
Remains of Seven Hundred Prison
erS Have Been Burned.
Bodies Are Stacked Up Like Cord
wood, Saturated With Kerosene
and the Torch Applied-Decom-
posed Corpses Strewn About the
Ground-Rebellious Cubans Must
Submit to American Authority
Instructions to General Lawton.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 16.-The
Eighth Illinois arrived this afternoon
and will garrison and police the city.
The bodies of the dead Spaniards are
to be cremated Over 700 have been
burned so far. This afternoon 20 were
to be burned. Over two rails a dozen
bodies are stretched and across them
another dozen and about 80 corpses are
stacked in an immense funeral pile 1G
feet high. The pile is then saturated
with kerosene and the torch applied. A
fall of rain put out the fire, causing
the bodies to be only half burned.
Around the pile lay % collins, contain
ing corpses in a state of decomposition.
Several naked bodies were strewn on
the ground in a condition of putrifica-
ton. Altogether about 20 unburied and
unconSumed bodies were there. The
stencil was terrible. This happened at
a cemetery within the city limits. The
authorities and the cemetery officials
say it is impossible to get men to work
at the cremation. Wages of a dollar
day prove no inducement to the ma
tives to work at this gruesome toll.
The unconsumed bodies will be left
on the earth until tomorrow, when fine
weather may help the work of crema-
ton.
These 20 corpses represent two days
dead from the Spanish camp. The dan
ger to the population from the stencil,
the presence of the buZzards, vultures
and flies is incalculable.
A CUBAN SHOT.
Santiago de Cuba, Aub. 15.-The Oil

This morning a Cuban was shot by
a sentry who caught him. stealing COM

it was discovered enough goods had
been stolen to make three, carloads,
which had been taken out Surreptiousiy
to the Cubans in the field. The man I'M
der suspicion returned to the wharf
last night, evidently with the intention
of continuing his thefts, but he was
warned off. Early this morning he was
again found there. When the sentry
challenged him he ran, refusing to obey
the order to halt. AS he was likely to
escape, the sentry fired and killed him.
The occurrence is regretted by Cen
eral Wood and the American officers
generally, but it probably will have a
missary and the medical and Red Gross
stores have been altogether too fire.

The rainy season has now set in with
torrents daily. The troops, therefore,
are moved none too soon, as the ply
sicians are all agreed that the condition
of the men would have been greatly
aggravated by the rain,- dampness and
consequent miasmas.
All rejoice at the prospect of peace,
and an early return home.

Looking over the bay, it was curious
to notice the foreign fleets arrange
