Land Attack to Be Made in Con-
junction With Fleet.

Shanghai, May 1.-Dispatches received
from Manila by the Shanghai Gazette say
the capital of the Philippine Islands is
short of food and ammunition and that the
conditions prevailing have been made
worse by the locking into Manila of the
Spanlards from the provinces.
1t is added that the natives are already
women and children being included in the
victims
1t is further asserted that the priests arc
the special objects of the natives ven
geance, about dozen priests having been
killed during the past week.
Famine prices for food are said to pre-
vail at Manila and it is claimed the Span
ish authorities are maintaining order with
difficulty.
People are burying their valuabes to pre-
vent their seizure by the insurgents or
Americans.
The military authorities are endeavoring
to put a bold front on the situation, but
the Manila correspondent of the Shanghai
Gazette asserts it is considered certain
that the insurgents viii sack the city when
the United States fleet appears, not dis
eliminating between Spaniards and other
foreigners
The dispatches of the Gazette allege
that the Spaniards at Manila are almost
unprepared to withstand an attack upon
the part of the United States fleet claim
ing that no defenses exist. in addition 10

seems, Manila will be attacked on the land

Hong Kong. May Letters to the insur-
gent juuta here, which were smuggled on
board the British steamer Memnon at Ma
nila which arrived here yesterday from
the capital of the Philippine Islands, as
sert that the Philippine insurgents are oc-
cupying all the hills surrounding Manila,
in a radius of ten to twenty miles, await
ing the arrival of the United States fleet
under Commodore Dewey, which was ex-
pected off Manila at any moment when the
Memnon sailed.
The insurgents say that If the United
States fleet blockades Manila, they can
starve the place into submission in about
two weeks.
Corroboration has been received Of the
report that the British residents of Manila
expected that the British steamer Esmer-
aida. which went there to take on board
the specie belonging to the Hong Kong
banks, would have a full cargo of food
stuff, as usual, but this was not the case,
sequence, If the insurgent land blockade
and the United States sea blockade are en-
forced.
According to the lnsurgent leaders the
forces of the Philippine insurgents pro-
pose. when the right moment arrives, to
make a fent attack upon the city of Man
ila, and TO make a strong ana determined
attack upon the seaward forts. This
plan, however, may be upset by the Span
sh authorities, who are well aware of the
Intentions of the insurgents to cooperate
with the United States feet.
Little definite information has been
ascerfained regarding the whereabouts
of the Spanish fleet as a whole But, il
is said by the insurgents, that warships
of Spain are in hiding, watching outside
the entrance Of the harboE for the coming
of the American ships.
The real danger appears to be from in
ternaI causes at Manila, where a massa-
ere OF the foreign population is appre-
hended. The British CONSUL r. H. Raw
son Walker, has cabled here for the dis
patch to Manila Immediately Of the Brit
ish first class cruiser Edgar TO protect
the British interests there.

Spanish authorities 10 keep up the courage

Madrid, May l. $50 p. m.-Advices from
Manila say that the American squadron
under Commodore Dewey appeared off the
bay of Manila at o'clock this morning
and opened a strong cannonade against the
Spanish squadron and forts protecting the
harbor
The Spanish second-class cruiser Don
Juan de Austria was severely damaged
and her commander was killed.
Another Spanish vessel was burned
. The American squadron retired, having
also sustained severe damage.
A second naval engagement followed, in
which the American squadron again suf-
fered considerable loss and the Spanish
warships NIindano and Ulloa were. slight
ly damaged.
During this engagement the Cavite forts
maintained a steadier and stronger fire
upon the American squadron than in the
first engagement.
Admiral Bermejo, the minister of marine,
has expressed himself as highly pleased
with the heroism of the Spanish marines,
and has telegraphed congratulations to
ADMIRAL Montejo and the valorous crews
of the Spanish squadron under fire of su-
perior warships.

Forts at Daybreak.
Madrid, May l, p. m.-The following is
the text of the official dispatch from the
governor general of the Philippines to the
minister of war, Lieut.. Gen. Correa, as to
the engagement off Manila:
Last night, April 80, the batteries at
the entrance to the forts announced the
arrival of the enemy's squadron, forcing
a passage under the obscurity of the
night.
AT daybreak the enemy took up posi-
tions, opening with a strong fire against
Fort Cavite and the arsenal.
"Our feet engaged the enemy in bril-
liant combat, protected by the Cavite and
Manila forts.
They obliged the enemy with heavy loss
to maneuver repeatedly.
'At o'clock the American squadron
took refuge behind the foreign merchant
shipping on the east side of the bay.
Our fleet, considering the enemys su-
periority, naturally suffered a severe loss.
''rhe Maria Christina is on fire and am
other ship, believed to be the Don Juan
de Austria, was blown up.
There was considerable loss of life.
Capt. Cadarzo. commanding the Maria
Christina, is among the killed.
I cannot now give further details.
The spirit OF the army, navy and VOL
unteers is excellent"

the engagement off Manila bay has just
been received here.
1t shows that there was serious fight
ing off Cavite."
Admiral Berme1o, according to the dis
patch, has wired congratulations to the
Spanish navy on the behavior of the
warships against superior forces.
No confirmation has been received here

fighting at the Philippines from any source

DEFEAT MADDENs MADRID.
City Greatly Excited by the News
From the Philippines.


From the Philippines.
Madrid, May l. 1880 p. m.-The town is
greatly excited by the serious news from
the Philippines, and there is an immense
gathering in the Celle de sevilla.
The civil guards on horseback were call
ed out to preserve order, and all precau-
tions have been taken.
There is much muttering, but up to the
present nothing more serious has occurred
London, May 2, a. m.-Dispatches from
Madrid, dated 2:2o a. m. say the city is
now tranquil, although the mounted
guards are patrolling all the main streets.
At the theaters, cafes and in front Of
the newspaper offices last evening the peo-
pie loudly lamented the unpreparedness of
Manila to resist the American warships,
whose attack had long been expected.
The Madrid authorities are determined
vigorously to suppress all street demon
strations

DAMAGE TO DEWEY IN DOUBT.
Probabilities Are That He VIII Be
Able to Attack ManiIa.

Able to Attack Manila.
London, May 1.-While it is quite clear
that the Spanish squadron has suffered
crushing defeat, the dispatches leave I'M
clear the intensely interesting question
whether the American squadron has suf-
fered material damage.
All news thus far comes from Spanish
sources, but it seems evident that Com
modore Dewey has not captured Manila.
Unless he is able to make another attack
and capture the town he will be in an
awkward position, having no base upon
which to retire and to reft.
Frobably, therefore, the United States
squadron will be obliged to make for San
Francisco as the entrance to Manila bay
was heavily mined with torpedoes.
Commodore Dewey has displayed great
pluck and daring in making for the inner
harbor.
According to private advices, received
from Madrid, the United States cruisers
Olympia, Raleigh, and two other vessels
tered the harbor.
No dispatches give details as to the ves-
sels actually engaged on either side.
1t appears to be incorrect that the
American ships finally anchored behind
the merchantmen on the east side of the
bay. 1t should be the west side.
Probabilities point in the direction of
the second engagement having occurred
through the Spanlards trying to prevent
the landing of the American wounded.
Reliable details cannot be had until
! Commodore Dewey's squadron is able to
communicate with Hong Kong. There is,
however, a suspicious frankness about
the Spanish dispatches that savors of a
desire to break unpleasant news to the
spaniards. 1t is not unlikely, therefore,
that Commodore Dewey may be able to
| renew the attack.

and was afterward scuttled in shallow
water.
1t is added that the intention of the
Spaniards is to use her as a stationary
battery, although some OF her guns have
been landed and mounted on the fortifica-
tions at the entrance of the harbor, where
other guns have also recently been
mounted
IL is generally believed here that Com
modore Dewey has arranged with the Phil
ippine insurgents TO seize harbor, near
Manila, 10 be used as a base OF operations
for the prolonged siege Of Manila which
is anticipated unless the American COM
mander can induce the Spanish fleet TO
come out and accept a general engage
ment.
