destruction of Cervera's fleet. The
attack upon Santiago, while it served
TO convince the Spaniards of the al
most invincible character of the
United States Army, was, after all,
not OF decisive character, and, had
Spain still possessed fleet, the San
tiago campaign would probably have
been little more than the beginning
OF the struggle in Cuba. But when
Admiral Dewey's splendid victory at
Manila was duplicated by Commodore
Schley, and the flower of the Spanish
navy was destroyed, without appre-
c1able damage to the American fleet,
and scarcely any loss of life on board
the American ships, even the Span
'iards were impressed with the hope
lessness of the struggle in which they
were engaged.

Battle at Manila Described by IA Cores
pondent Inside the City.
LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Manila cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph
says:
Nothing could be more humane
than the Americans capture of this
city. General Merritt's and Admiral
Dewey's plan was to spare every
object but the armed defenses and
the trenches. Apparently the Amer
lean losses were extremely small. The
Spanish entertainments varied in
point of distance from two to four
miles from the centre of old Manila.
Defending this long line of at least
ten miles were not over, and probably
under 5000 Spanish regular troops,
volunteers and natives. The attack
ing force numbered from 10000 to 20,
600 natives and 10000 Americans on
shore and aboard the fleet.
In every respect the advantage was
on the side of the attack. The Amer
lean field guns threw heavier metal
and had longer range than the Span

ish guns, the craftsmanship of the
United States gunners was much
superior and the men were stronger
and in better condition. The Span
iards are a small race compared with
their stalwart opponents, and worn
out by siege and disappointed by
the failure of the promised Spanish
relief squadron, they had lost heart.
1t was hopeless struggle.
Looking over the bay it was curious
to notice the foreign fleets arranging
themselves according to their sympa-
thies. The English and Japanese
were near the Americans and the
Germans and French were on the
opposite sides of the bay, north of
the Pasig river. The British cruiser
lmmortalite and her consorts kept
fairly near the American line.
The attacking squadron formed i'm
line between Malate and Old Manila.
with the Concord watching the front
at the mouth of the Pasig. The
American fleet lay outside the break
water.
The Olympia fired the first shot at
$40 a. III. and a fairly continuous but
by no means furious cannonade was
kept up until 11.2O a. III. By that
time the Malate fort was silenced and
the American troops then stormed
the entertainments.
Spaniards who were in the earth
works tell me that the quick firing
guns of the little gunboat Rapido.
which lay close to the shore, were far
more terrible in their effect than was
the raking fire of the ships.
Resistance to the American attack
was impossible. The First Colorado
Regiment was the earliest to charge
the Spaniards, who retired to the sec
ond line of defense, but soon, outnum-
bered, they were forced into the old
city. a part of Malate suffered Sc
verely from the bombardment. The

hoisted white flag at 1. 30 p. m., and
the order to cease firing was issued in
the centre of the city, but in the out
skirts street fighting continued some
time afterward between the rebels
and Spaniards.
The only fear felt in the city is in
regard to the conduct of insurgents.

REDUCING THE ARMY.
Second Call Regiments VIII BE Mustered
Ont.

Second Call Regiments VIII BE Mustered
Out.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 16.-One
of the most important subjects before
the cabinet to-day was that of cutting
down the army and navy. Secretary
Alger has in course of preparation an
order reducing the army. This order
will be completed after further con-
ferences with the President, and will
be made public within a few days.
The order, so far as drawn, provides
for the disbandment of all the regi-
ments organized under the second
call for troops. This call, it will be
remembered, was for 5000 men. The
most of these, about 50,O00 were
placed in service to fill to the maxi
mum the volunteer regiments formed
under the first call. Throughout the
various states, however, regiments
have been, and are being organized
under the second call. All these will
be ordered to return to peaceful pur-
suits.
In addition to these it has been de-
cided to muster out of service a num-
Der of regiments which saw service
at Santiago, and in which there is
considerable illness. The regiments
which have suffered most, and in
which the men have been greatly
weakened, will be the ones which will
cease to serve Uncle Sam. The num-
Der of these is yet to be determined,
but it is probable that it will embrace
nearly all of the volunteer regiments
which went to Santiago.
The administration idea is that in
the service yet to be done in Cuba
regiments will be selected from the
states which did not furnish material
in any of the campaigns made. There
are about eighteen of these states,
and each will be given a regiment.

BRAVERY At MANILA.
American Troops StOrmed
the Trenches, Sweeping
All Before Them.
LOSSES ARE NOT YET KNOWN
But Are Said to Have Been
Heavy on Both Sides.
THE ARMED DEFENSES SEIZED,

Hone KONG, Aug. 16.-Admiral
Dewey gave General Augusti an hour
in which to surrender at the time of
the last demand, made Saturday.
General August refused to comply.
The bombardment, which began at
$50 a. m, was continued two hours,
and then the Americans stormed the
trenches, sweeping all before them.
Those within the walls attempted
no resistance. The First Colorado
Volunteers stormed the Outertrenches
and drove the Spaniards into the
second line of defenses. Then the
American troops swept on, driving all
the Spaniards into the inner fortifica-
tiOns, where the Spanish commander,
seeing that further resistance was
useless, hoisted the white flag and
surrendered.
The losses, American or Spanish,
are not yet known. The Spaniards
in the trenches probably numbered
three thousand men. The American
attacking force numbered ten thous-
and and the Americans we're better
armed, better trained and in better
condition.
The foreign fleets witnessed the
bombardment with keen interest.
The American warships engaged were
the Olympia, Baltimore, Petrol, Raj
eigh, McCulloch, Boston, Monterey
and Charleston.
The Spaniards say that the fire of
the Americans for the most part fell
short, the only effective fire being
! from a small gunboat armed with
quick firing guns which was close in
shore. 1t is also stated by the Span
iards that ''the Americans lost heav-
lily in the storming, owing to the faul-
ty construction of their entrench-
ments, which the Spaniards could
command from the heights and upon
which they poured CALLING fire.
The Spanish trench extended
around Manila at distance of from
two to four miles from the walled city,
forming a circle ten miles in circum-
ference, and it was impossible, the
Spaniards say, to hold so long a line
against the American attack.
Admiral Dewey and General Mer-
ritt, it is reported, issued orders to
spare all except the armed defenses,
and consequently the city is under
stood to have been little damaged.
Some street fighting between insur-
gents and Spaniards occurred on the
outskirts, but order prevailed within
the walled section.
Consul Wildman to-day received a
report from Admiral Dewey stating
| that it was intended after the cap
ture of Manila to dispatch cruisers
to Port Royalist, in Talawan, to cap
ture Spanish gunbOats hiding there.
Another ship was detailed to capture
the Spanish steamers plying between
Labuan and Iliolo. Four Spanish
gunboats at Bataan, in Panay, were
also to be captured
The consul says that should the
vessels have left before the arrival at
Manila of the British steamer Aus
tralia, which was chartered to carry
the news of the signing of the peace
protocol, it will be impossible to re-
call the vessels within three weeks.

THEIR FULL DUTY"

The Presidents Tribute to Soldiers Who
Stayed at Home.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The fol-
lowing correspondence between Pres
ident Mckinley and General Breckin-
ridge, in which the President pays
tribute to the troops who could not
be sent to the front, was made public
to-day:
CHICKAMAUGA, PARK, GA, Aug. 10.
The President:
May l not ask you, in the name and
behalf of the 10000 men of this com
mand, to visit it while it is still in
tact? There is much to be said show
ing how beneficial and needed such a
visit is, but you will appreciate better
than | the disappointment and CON
sequent depression many men must
feel, especially the sick men, when
they joined together for a purpose
and have done so much to show their
readiness and worthiness to serve
their country in the field, but find
themselves leaving the military serv-
ice without a battle or campaign. All
who see them must recognize their
merit, and personal interest must en-
courage all if you can find time to re-
view this command
BRECKINRIDGE,
MajOrGeneral Commanding.
Following is the Presidents reply:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Aug. II, 1898.
Major-GeneralB Breckenridge, Chick
amauga Park, Tenn:
Replying to your invitation, | beg
to say that it would give me great
pleasure to show by personal visit
to Chickamauga Park my high re-
gard for the 1000 troops of your com
! ,l--sad, who so periodically responded
to the call for volunteers and who
have been for upward of two months
making ready for any service and
sacrifice the country might require.
Ny duties, however, will not admit
of absense from Washington at this
time.
The highest tribute that can be
paid the soldier is to say that he per-
formed his full duty. The field of
duty is determined by his govern
ment, and whatever that chances to
be is the place of honor. All have
helped in the great cause, whether in
camp or battle, and when peace comes
all will be alike entitled to the nations

PEACE AGREEMENT OFFICIALLY SIGNED.
Historic Act Performed at
4.23 P. M. Friday at the
White House.
ORDERS TO STOP FIGHTING.
President Mckinley Issues a Procla=
nation Formally Directing a
Suspension of Hostilities by


The war between Spain and the
United States, which began April 81,
was stopped by the signing of a peace
protocol at the White House in Wash
ington at 4.23 p. IN. last Friday.
The protocol was signed by VIM. r.
Day, Secretary of State, representing
the United States, and Jules Cambon,
French Ambassador, representing
Spain.
As soon as the agreement had re-
ceived the official signatures orders
were sent, under President Mckin-
ley's direction ordering a suspension
of hostilities. The President also
issued a proclamation giving notice of
the signing of the protocol.
The terms of the protocol are prac-
tically the same as those proposed by
the United States soon after the nego-
tiations began. Porto Rico, the
other Spanish islands in the West
Indies, except Cuba, and an island in
the Ladrones to be selected by the
United States are to be ceded to this
country. Spain will relinquish all
sovereignty over Cuba. The United
States will hold the city, bay and har-
Dor of Manila pending the conclusion
by the peace commission Of treaty
establishing the future of the Philip
pines.
All the Spanish islands in the West
Indies are to be Immediately evacu-
ated, and commissioners are to meet
at Havana and San Juan to arrange
the details of the evacuation.
A semi-official note was issued in
Madrid stating that the Spanish army
has not been conquered and will re-
turn home with all its arms and war
munitions. As to the Cuban debt,
the United States, says the note, re-
fuses to assume it, and Spain will try
to arrange with the Cuban treasury
to pay it when the island is able.
The Spanish government, it is set
forth, wishes to retain all of the Phil
ippines.
Efforts are being made to allay the
excitement in Spain caused by the
belief that the surrender has been too
humiliating.
Tomas Estrada Palma, head of the
Junta in New York, says he believes
the Cuban insurgents will undOubt-
edly cease fighting when they hear
that Spain has agreed to evacuate
the island.
The great fleet which the United
States has assembled in Cuban waters
will be scattered and the finest ships
will be sent to the navy yards, where
they will be dOcked and Overhauled
and put in first-class condition. They
will then be assigned to the various
foreign stations which the govern
ment maintains. The permanent
Asiatic and Pacific squadrons will
probably be strengthened, on account
of the new conditions following the
war with Spain.
