cred until o'clock In the evening.
while ministers yesterday evening
were discussing Governor General Au-
gustfs dispatch rumors reached the cab
inet that the newspaper men had re.
ceiyed news OF the second engagement.
General Correa and Admiral Bermejo
Immediately communicated with their
departments and found that fresh dis
patch was being deciphered. Premier
Sagasta ordered the dispatch to be
brought to the council for deciphering.
The confused wording Of the message
showed the state OF mind OF the sender.
Admiral Montejo, but finally its contents
were elucldated and demonstrated TO the
ministers horror the complete destruc-
ton Of the Spanish squadron.
General Correa and Admiral Bermejo
went straight to the queen regent, who
was terribly distressed
Madrid was not excited this morning,
but sad faces were to be seen every
where.

was thc Spanish eauadron. Admiral
Montejo. q few days before. went 10
subic bay TO look for the enemy. but
learning that they were vastly superior
In force, had prndently returned and
placed hts ships under the protection OF
the forts. This was his only chance OF
meeting the enemy on something like
equal terms, and II did not suffice, B
Soon the Americans opened fire. The
spanfards replied vigorously and the
combat continued without interruption
for four hours, during which the Don
Antonio de Ulloa was sunk, the Castllla
and Mindanao were set on fire and the
Reina Maria Christina and the Don Juan
du Austria were seriously damaged.
One or two OF the smaller craft were
scuttled by their crews to escape cap
ture. Others took refuge in a small
neighboring creek, emptying into Baker
bay. where. presumably. the American
ships were unable to follow them. But
not one surrendered. Asgi
