spanish Reports Of the Battles.

MADRID, May LIS p. M.-Following
are the official dispatches from the Gov
ernor General of the Philippines TO the
Minister Of War. Lieutenant General
Correa as TO the engagement off Manila:
LAST night, April 30, the batteries at
the entrance to the fort announced the
arrival Of the enemy's squadron, forcing
passage under the obseurity of the
night. At daybreak the enemy took up
positions, opening with a strong fire
against Fort Cavite and the arsenal.
"Our fleet engaged the enemy in a
brilliant combat. protected by the Cayite
and Manila Forts. They obliged the en-
emy, with heavy loss, to maneuver re-
pcatedly. At nine O'Clock the American
squadron took refuge behind the foreign
merch mt shipping, on the east side of
the bay.
''Our fleet, considering the enemy's su-
pe-iority, naturally suffered severe loss.
The Maria Christina is on fire, and anoth-
er ship, believed to be the Don Juan de
Austria, was blown up.
There was considerable loss of life.
Captain Cadarso, commanding the Maria
Christina. is among the killed. The spi-
rit Of the army, navy and volunteers is
excellent"
Admiral Berneio, Minister of Marine,
joined the Cabinet council tonight, and
informed his colleagues that the Spanish
forces had gained victory in the Philip
pines. He asserted that he found difficult
~ in restraining his joyful emotions.
a later official despatch does not men
tion the destruction Of any American YES
sci. although il says that the United
States squadron finally cast anchor in
the bay behind the foreign merchantmen.

An Audaoious spanish Spy.

NEW YORK, April S0.-Supposed Span
ish spies have tried all manner of means
TO gain entrance to the New York Navy
Yard, and one Of them came near being
successful to-0Sy. The man had applied
at the Sands street gate for admission and
was refused. Heleft the gate with the re
mark that he would fool them and get In
any way if he had TO swim for it.
Leaving the gate. he hired small boat
and pulled around 10 the basin, near the
stern Of the San Francisco, where he pur-
posely upset his boat and started to swim
to the shore. He was detected, and as
soon as he landed at the quay wall he was
iished out. given few swim kicks and
was hurried out Of the front gate and hus-
tied mp Sands street at quick pace, des-
pite his protestations that he was an en-
ploye Of the navy yard.

The American navy has achieved sig
nal triumph over the Spanish navy in
the first battle between marine lighting
forces of modern times
The Asiatic squadron, in command OF
Commodore Dewey, early Sunday morn
ing engaged the Spanish fleet under Ad-
miral Montejo in the bay Of Manila, the
stronghold of the Spanish in the Philip
pine Islands. There were two fierce en-
gagements between the opposing war
ships, Spain's naval force being assisted
by the forts Of Cavite.
The only information Of the battle OBJ
tainable has been through Spanish soure-
e.. as they control the cable at Manila.
Tho official dispatches, however, OF the
Spanish governor of the Philippines to
the government at Madrid plainly show
that Admiral MontejO was completely
defeated, and nearly all his warships
burned. blown up or sunk. The loss on
the Spanish side both in men and ships
was enormous. The extent of the casu-
alties on the American ships is not known,
but it is not believed to have been very
great, for the reason that the Spanish au-
thorities. though notorious for their pre-
varication and distortion of facts, do not
report any Of the American vessels as
destroyed or seriously damaged.
They do admit. however, that their
ships, the Maria Christina and the Cas-
tilla. we're burned. the Don Juan de Aus
tria blown up, and other vessels sunk to
prevent their being captured by Commo-
dore Dewey.
The ships engaged in the battle ON both
sides were:
Ameriea- Cruisers Olympia, (hagship
Of Commodore Dewey, Baltimore, Bos-
ton, Raleigh, Concord and Petreli reve-
nue. cutter MeCulloch.
Spanish-Cruisers Reina Maria Chris
tina, Flagship Of Admiral Montejo), Cas-
tilla. Velasco. Don Antonio de Ulloa, and
Don Juan de Austrian; gunboats General
Leo Ei Cano, Isla de Cuba, lsla de Luzon
aud Isla de Mindirao.
Wher the battle was hottest, and the
shells from the American guns had nearly
annihilated and set fire to Admiral Mon
teio's flagship. he was compelled to leave
the burning ship, aud his flag was trans
ferred to the gunbOat Isla de Cuba
The Spanish Cabinet officials during the
night issued bulletins to the excited peo-
pie in Madrid, declaring that the Ameri-
can Squadron was obliged to retreat be-
hind foreign merchant vessels in the bay
to escape the fire from the forts, and that
the second engagement was begun by the
Americans in an effort to cover the land
ing Of their wounded on the west side OF
the bay. II the truth were known, the
second engagement was, no doubt, bold
and probably successful attempt of Com
modore Dewey to land marines and sail
ors, with a view of cooperating with the
insurgents in capturing the city.

SURRENDER OF THE CITY DEMANDED BY THE

The victory of the American feet over
the Spanish naval forces at Manila has
been followed by Commodore Dewey de-
manding the unconditional surrender Of
Manila, the capital city OF the Philip
pines, under the threat of lombard
ment.
The Governor General Of the Island has
asked his government for instructions,
and at a late hour Monday night the Span
ish ministry was considering the Amer
lean commanders demand.
At midnight Monday, it was reported
in London that the Foreign Office had re-
ceived an official telegram from the
British consul at Manila announcing the
eapitulatiOn of the city. The report was
unconfirmed, but it was stated that the
British Government had advised the
Spanish ministry that honorable snbmis-
sion was the best way Of guarding Span
ish interests in the Philippines.
A Madrid Newspaper states that Com
modore Dewey has also demanded the
surrender of all Spanish vessels in the
archipelago, threatening to lombard the
ports if refused.
No accurate intelligence has yet been
received of Commodore Dewey's losses,
but they could not have been serious in
the naval engagement on Sunday, or he
wonld not have made the final move to
force the surrender o. Manila
Dispatches received 10y the British gov
ernment from its consular and military
officers in Manila Monday afternoon
stated that the American fleet had ''anni-
hilated'' the Spanish fleet in two hours
engagement that Commodore Dewey on
Sunday night demanded the surrender
Of all the torpodoes and guns at Manila,
and the control Of the cables, or he would
bombard the city, and that General Au-
gust, the Spanish governor general of
the Philippines, refused to yield.
1t is, therefoIe, presumed, both in
Amesican and British government and
naval circles, that Commodore Dewey
will as promptly proceed to carry out
his threat against the city as he did to
defeat aud destroy the Spanish naval
forces.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has issued notice that the cable b.
tween Hong Kong and Manila has been
interrupted, and the Spanish authorities
in Madrid are supprsssing news concern
ing the later movements ofthe American
fleet.
