Appreciation of the Hu. mane Action of the
 Americans.
CalifOrnians First to Hoist the Stars and Stripes Within
 the Spanish Trenches.

HONGKONG, Aug. 17-Manila was surrendered, after nominal defense, on Saturday August 13. The American flag now flies over the capital of the Philippines and this was accomplished without great expenditure of life. l was one of the first who traversed the walled city.
 The Manila newspapers on August 5 published the news that Captain Gen eraI August has been superseded by Seg11nno Cabo Don Fermin Jaudemes Alvarez. and referred in terms of con- tempt to the Yankees. On August ' Admiral Dewey and General Merritt acting Jointly, notified General Jau- demes that they might attack the city forty-eight hours after his receipt of their note, and gave him an opportunity to remove all non-combatants. This Joint notification was carried by Lieu tenant Armitage, of H. M s. Immor- talite.
 General Jaudemes acknowledged Its receipt at 12:30 D. rn., and expressed his thanks to the American commanders for their humane sentiments. He add ed. however, that, finding himself sur rounded by insurrectionary forces. he was without any place of refuge for the increased number of wounded, sick ana women and children who were within the walls. No request was made that the Americans provide for their safety .. Foreign warships with refugees aboard moved out of the harbor on the morning of August g. A small party of foreigners, chiefly British, remained in the suburban portions of the city. The Concord and Petrel lay off the mouth of the Pasig in such positions as to prevent any vessels escaping, but no action occurred until August 13, the delay being to allow the American troops to extend their front on the right of the line. Frequent visits by the Belgian Consul in the meantime to . General Merritt and Admiral Dewey led to rumors that terms of surrender were being arranged.
 |. Our fleet began to move in at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning, Dewey's flagship, the Olympia, led the fighting line as of old. The Olympia opened . with her S-inch guns at 9:35, the first four shells being directed against the Malate fort, called San Antonio de Abad. All of these first shells fell short. A passing rain squall made it difficult to get the range properly and observe the result of the shots. The Raleigh, PatreJ and CallaO also opened on the fort. the Boston, Baltimore, Charleston : and Monterey standing in as supports. {. Most of the firing was done at a range of from three thousand to four thous- and yards. The practice was excellent :: as soon as the range was determined. :: Most of the 5-inch shells fell in bat : tery protected by earthworks.
 :: Sixteen 8-inch and sixty-nine 5-inch

INSTRUCTIONS SENT TO
 MERRITT AND DEWEY
Must Preserve Law and Order and Treat Insurgents and Span
 jardS Alike.

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-The two American commanders at Manila, Ao- mtral Dewey and General Merrltt' united in a joint dispatch Whlch WAS | received here late this afternoon, ask | ing for instructions as to the manner 1 of dealing with the various elements | particularly the insurgents, now that the city Is occupied by the American forces. After a conference at the White House. in which Secretary All ger and Acting Secretary Allen par ticipated, instructions were sent to the American commanders. The text Of the request for instructions and of the answer was not made public, but Sec retary Alger summed up the lnstruc- tions substantially as follows:
 'The instructions are to enforce law and order and to treat all Ia"-aoldlns citizens alike"
 It had been thought in some quarters here that the showing heretofore made by the insurgents would lead 10 thelr receiving certain amount of recognl- ton in the way of joint acton between the United States forces and those or the insurgents when the city was oc- cupied: but the instructions sent to- night are based on occupation by the United States alone; and as high aG- ministration official summed up the sit uation, there shall be no joint action except between Merritt and Dewey. They will maintain law and order and will treat insurgents and Spaniards alike, requiring all to observe peace and order.'
 It was note- that neither the first dispatch of Admiral Dewey nor the joint dispatch of Dewey and Merritt made any reference whatever to the part which the German cruiser Kaiser in Augusta took in removing Captain General August from Manila to Hong kong From this the officials believe that the American commanders do not attach serious significance to the course of the German naval authorities. The incident continues to cause some irrita- tion here, but it is practically certain that no official cognizance will be taken of it. A high official of the Navy De- partment said that although the course of the German naval commander was one of bad taste, there Is no disposition in any official quarter at present to carry the incident to the point of con- sidering it a breach of neutrality, as has been suggested in some British newspapers.

nila. Perfect order prevailed, in Ma nila on the evening of August 13. As the Americans marched in guards were placed around the houses of all for eigners, in order to prevent their being footed.
 The insurgents were not allowed to take part in the attack upon the city, but were kept in the rear of the Ameri- cans. In order to prevent bloodshed they were forbidden to enter the city after the surrender unless they were unarmed.
 Before the surrender the Spaniards burned the transport Cebu in the Pa sig River.
 It is supposed that Admiral Dewey was unaware of the departure of Gov ernor General August. The Zafiro's officers first heard the news of the Governor Generals flight on their ar rival at Hongkong. Augustus escape is considered to have been prearranged, as he took with him his family and his suite
