BOMBAROMENI A lash RESORT

Washington. May At can be stated
on authority that the presidents instruc-
tons TO Commodore Dewey did not in
volve specifically bombardment Of the
city of Manila, but the commodore was
instructed to do whatever was necessary
within the limits of civilized warfare TO
take possession of the Island. II was ex-
pected however. that our Asiatic squad
ron would not lombard the city Of Manila
unless it harbored troops operating Of
fensively against US.
1t was said at the navy department to-
day that It was not the purpose of Com
modore Dewey to lombard Manila except
as last resort His plans contemplated
the taking of tho town, but 1t was not
believed that anything in the nature Of
general bornbardment would be necessary
to accomplish this purpose The news
that the Spanish soldiers were to make
stand on the plaza Indicated that some
further resistance was likely. but 1t was
believed that this could be overcome by a
few well-directed shells from the war
ships. The officials believed from the in
formation received through the press that
Alic OJelAi6Ai iOI Is SICll dS l1cy VICE.
had been destroyed by the American feet.
So far as known here the only defense OF
Manila in the snaps of fortihcations that
amounted to anything was located at Ca
vite.
1t was scarcely expected in naval cir
cles that Commodore Dewey would act
with such great promptness in entering
the inner harbor. 1t was known that
the harbor at its mouth was too wide to
be commanded by the inferior ordnance
of the Spaniards. and that the water was
too deep to permit the successful defense
of the entrance of the inner harbor by
mines. The charts show that the harbor
entrance is no less than FIVE miles across
But it is by no means certain that mines
have not been placed in the inner harbor
and it was a plucky undertaking for
Commodore Dewey to enter the harbor
without spending some time in cautious
exploration and countermining.
Manila has a population Of 100. 900 people
so that it probably would be very diff
cult for Commodore Dewey 10 spare
enough men from his fleet to maintain
possession of the town unless he could
arrange to secure the support of the in
surgents. with whom he was understood
TO be in communication. No matter what
happened, it was not expected that Com
modore Dewey would lombard the town
today, if at all, for It was said at the
state department that except in great
emergency he would follow the dictates
o. international law and give notice of
twenty-four to forty-eight hours of his
intention to begin a bombardment in or
der that non-combatants might retire
from danger. The large English and

GOOD PROSPECT FOR NEWS

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 department TO take I'D their
daily tasks. Many of the officers were
tired and worn to the verge OF nervous
prostration by the exhasting labors OF
the last few weeks, but all fatigue was
forgotten for the moment as they stopped
to talk Of the battle Of Manila. There
was anxious inquiry from all sources for
some kind OF news of the details of the
fight. 1t was realized by the officials that
nothing can be expected directly from
Commodore Dewey In the usual course for
a least two days more. There is, how
ever, possibility, which is magnifed by
expectant minds here into a probabilit
that some information at least more re-
liable and freer from color than that
which comes from Madrid. may be forth
coming through the British foreign Offices
While the Spanish government in the
case of an emergency might take abso-
lutte possession of the cable at Manila, it
is not customary to deny access to it to
the diplomatic and consular officials of
neutral governments. The cabled report
that the British consul general at Manila
had a conference after the conflict with
Commodore Dewey indicates clearly that
he is at least in possession of the Amer
lean story of the naval battle, and prob
ably has been made acquainted with the
extent Of the loss suffered by the Ameri-
can ships. 1t is not doubted that if the
opportunity offers the consular officer will
communicate promptly the facts to his
home government and it is just possible
that he has been requested by Commo-
dore Dewey to see to it that a brief and
fair statement of the facts are trans
mitted to the United States government
Official advices of the Manila fight had
not been received at any of the establish
ments representing the great powers OF
Europe up to noon today. From the fact
reported from Madrid that Commodore
Dewey had opened communication with
the British consul at Manila II is expected
that the first reports other than those OF

Mia, it is learned. is a British and not
a Spanish cable. and it Is believed that
British operators have charge OF the ca
