groans of the wounded. Thick clouds of
smoke at times almost obscured the op-
! posing fleets from each other.
A well directed shot reached the iron
cruiser Don Juan De Austria, a vessel
of 1,1OO tons. A terrific explosion fol-
lowed and the ship was blown up.
All the time during the first engage
ment the American ships were under
way, their maneuvering being intended
to render the workmanship Of the
Spanish gunnerS less effective.
The American squadron about 9
o'clock drew off to the west side of the
bay and took refuge behind some for
eign shipping. The ships had evidently
suffered considerable damage. After
some hasty repairs they returned to the
conflict.
During this enga cement the guns of
Cavite maintained a steadier and
stronger fire upon Commodore Dewey's
ships than in the first encounter, but
the American guns were being used
with telling effect.
AS the smoke lifted it was seen that
the flagship Reina Christina was on
fire. The vessel was completely burn
ed. In the interval between the two
engagements Commodore Montejo
moved his flag from the Reina Chris
tina to the smaller cruiser Isla De
Cuba. To the fact that he made this
change he doubtless owes his life.
The cruiser Castillo, next to the flag
ship, the largest and most powerful of
the Spanish squadron, was also burned.
The cruiser Don Antonio De Ulloa and
the Mindanio We're also badly damaged
in this encounter.
That the American squadron received
CO. n
not be doubted. Early reports had it
that five of Commodore Dewey's ships
had been sunk. Later advices from
Madrid put the number at two.
There were undoubtedly heavy losses
in men on both sides. One apparently
trustworthy report states that the
Spanish had 200 killed and 400 wound
ed.
Trustworthy details of the American
loss of life will hardly be obtainable un-

Man1Ias except as a last resort His
plans contemplate the taking of the
town, out 1t is not believed that any
ehlng IN the nature of a general bonn
parchment will be necessary to accom-
plish this purpose
The news that the Spanish soldiers
were to make a. stand on the plaza in
dicates that some further resistance Is
likely but it is believed that this can be
overcome by few well directed shells
from the warships.
The officials believe from the inforna-
ton so far received through the press
that the Spanish forts, such as they
were, have been destroyed by the Amer
ican fleet. So far as is known here the
only defense of Manila in the shape of
fortif1cation that amounted to anything,
is located at Cavite. It was scarcely
expected in naval circles that Commo-
dore Dewey would act with such great
promptness in entering the inner har-
Dor. 1t was known that the harbor at
Its mouth was too wide to be command
ed by the inferior ordnance of the
Spaniards and that the water was too
deep to permit the successful entrance
into the inner harbor by mines. Charts
show that the harbor entrance is 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
plucky undertaking for Commodore
Dewey to enter this harbor without
spending some time in cautious explo-
ration and countermining.
Manila has a population of 100000
people, so that probably it would be
very difficult for Commodore Dewey to
spare enough men from his fleet to
maintain possession of the town unless
he can arrange to secure the support of
the insurgents, with whom he is under
stood to be in communication. No mat
ter what happens, it is not expected
that Commodore Dewey will lombard
the town today, if at all, for it is said
at the state department that except in
a great emergency he will follow the
dictates of international law and give
notice of from "a to 4S hours of his in
tention to begin a bombardment in or
der that non-combatants may retire
from danger. The large English and
German interests in Manila it is
thought, will weigh with the commo-
dore and cause him to give the notice
commonly communicated prior to a
bombardment.
After speaking in the terms of the
highest commendation of the commo-
dore's work, Secretary Long said:
1.-The American fleet has come up to
what was expected of it. Its success
shows that it was not rash undertake
ing of the department to send the ships
to Manila under such command as Dew
ey's, with his captains and his men. His
ships, in the fine condition they were in,
were positively expected to sweep the
Spanish fleet away and take Manila.
The action of the navy department in
ordering this movement seems to be
thoroughly justified

States fleet entered Manila harbor at
daybreak yesterday, stationing itself
opposite the city. A fort opened fire
on the American ships, whereupon they
shifted their position, to one near Ca
vite, in Manila bay, engaging in a
fierce fight against both the forts and
the Spanish fleet.
The engagement here lasted two
hours and resulted in the annihilation
of the Spanish fleet This dispatch
adds that the American ships with
drew to their magazine vessel, in the
center of the roadstead for the purpose
of coaling. One American vessel the
name of which is not mentioned, is said
to have been disabled.
Commodore Dewey requested the
British consul, E. H. Rawsof-W alker,
to convey a message to the Spanish
governor general, demanding the sur
render of all the torpedoes and guns at
Manila, 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 message ends with the statement

QUEEN HEARS THE NEWS.

of Fight.

London, May 2.-After the cabinet
council the Madrid dispatch to the
Evening News says: Gen. Correra, the
minister of war and Admiral Bermejos
the minister of marine, made a report
to the queen regent. The latter, it ap-
pears, who had already heard the re-
verse at Manila, was afiame with pa
triotic enthusiasm" and declared that
while the loss of so many ships was a
misfortune there was a satisfaction in
the reflection that the Spaniards had
covered themselves with honor.
The queen regent is said to have adj
ded: My spirit can never be daunted,
so long as 1 can rely on the patriotism
and courage of the Spaniards.'
The absence of further details of the
Spanish defeat is supposed, according
to the Spanish officials to be due to
the preoccupation of Captain Augustt

the immediate effects of the Manila en-

ity, as it threatens to bring the war to
the continent of Europe.
Official advices of the Manila fight

establishments, representing the great
powers of Europe, up to noon today.
1t is understood that the British con-
sui at Manila, Mr.. Rawson-WalIxer, has
assumed charge of American interests
in the Philippines and under such cir
cumstances, he is at present charged
with the important duty of protecting
the lives of the Americans on shore at
Manila and elsewhere.

The message ended with the state
ment that the British governor of the
Straits settlement, expected that the
bombardment of Manila would begin
on Monday morning, when the Span
iards would cut the cable.
The first of these cable messages was
received at o'clock yesterday evening
and the second one was received at
midnight. They have not yet been
given to the newspapers here.
No other messages on the subject
have been received in London, although
the foreign office expects news from the
British consul at Manila Therefore it
is supposed that the expectation of the
governor of the Straits settlements has
been fulfilled and that the Spaniards
have cut the cable.

This shows conclusively that Manila

still under the control of Spain.
From the fact that even the advices

his largest ships. His flagship, the steel
