Commodore Dewey, command
ing the Asiatic squadron of six
armed vessels, sailed into Manila
bay during Saturday night, draw
ing the fire of one of the batteries
at the entrance but not replying
thereto, and engaged the Spanish
feet of eleven armed ships anchor
ed in the bay at daybreak yester-
day morning.
Such is the news that came last
evening by way of Madrid and
London.
The result of the battle was the
decisive defeat of the Spanish
fleet. Its flagship, the Christina,
was burned as was the de Ulloa.
The Don Juan de Austria was
blown up by shell that penetra-
ted its magazines. The Castillo
was burned. Several of the small
Ter vessels are reported scuttled
and sunk in order to avoid capture.
Late dispatches say that 400
Spaniards were killed. No state
ment as TO the casualties on the
American ships is obtainable.
A cessation of firing was caused
by the American squadron effect
ing landing on the side of the
bay in which the foreign merchant
vessels were anchored. The
wounded were taken ashore there,
it is said, and the Spanish explain
that they ceased to fire because
they feared their shots might dam
age the non-combatant merchant
men.
