WHEN SPAIN HAS HAD ENOUGH.

European congress Tor settlement or

it is supposed that the expecta-

LONDON. May ., fS0S.--The de-
tails of the battle of Manila
have been received at the Brit
ish Colonial Office. They came
in two cable messages, received
yesterday evening, the sub
stance of which was furnished
to the Associated Press by the
officials of the Colonial Office
to-day.
The first despatch announced
that the United States fleet en-
tered Manila harbor at day
break yesterday, stationing it,
selfopposite 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.
SPANISH FLEET ANNWILATED.
The engagement lasted two
hours, and resulted in the an
inhalation of the Spanish fleet.
This despatch adds that the
American ships withdrew to
their magazine vessel at the
center of the roadstead for the
purpose Of coaling.
One American vessel, the
name ofwhich is not mentioned,
is said to have been disabled.
Commodore Dewey requested
the British Consul, L. H. Rason-
Walker, to convey a message to
the Spanish Goyernor-General
demanding the surrender Of all
the torpedoes and guns at Ma
Mia, and the possession of the
cable Offices, saying that unless
these terms were complied with
he would proceed to lombard
the city.
The first of the cable mes
saqes ends with the statement
that the Spanish officials were
conferring with the British Con-
sui and the telegraph company's
agent, and pending a decision
BEING arrived at the cables were
not permitted to handle mes
sagcs.
CUT THE CABLE.

by the Colonial Office announ-
ced that the Spanish Governor
General had refused to surren-
der tho torpedoes, guns and

WASHINGTON, May 1T is a curious
fact that the nation most directly inter-
ested of all the great powers In the COM
bat that took place NJ Manila yesterday
should be the last TO know Of the result.
I'd TO the close of Office hours to-day alb
solutely the only information that our
government had received OF the brilliant
victory Of Admiral Dewey at Manila on
May day came to the government
through the medium OF the press dis
patches.
II the report is true. that Commodore
Dewey has begun q bombardment and
blockade OF the city Of Manila, it is un-
likely that he can spare a v-ssel from
his fleet to carry the news TO Hong
Kong the nearest cable station so it is
not known when Official advices VIII
come. There was some expectation Tnat
through the surrender Of the city. the
Commodore might acquire control OF the
cable, but even then there might be prac-
teal difficulties In communicating
through it.
AMERICAN LOSSES.
The greatest anxiety is telt as 20 the
casualties sustained by the American

by the Spaniards, II is feared that be-
fore they burnt, blew up or sunk their
ships. they managed 10 infiict severe
damage upon Commodore DeWeys squad

nerable in one respect namely. in'Vheir

n Commodore Dewey has lost a con
siderable portion OF his men, II IS feared
ne will be much embarrassed In the work
Of retaining possession OF Manila FOR lack
OF sufficient force. There was some tax
this evening OF sending troops out from
San Francisco to aid IN this work, but
this has not yet taken shape as far as
can be learned. and 1t IS likely the de-
partment will wait TO hear from Com
modore Dewey himself before taking any
