MANILA WILL SURRENDER.
In a Reliable way-Steps to Take
Charge Walt on Gen. Merritt.

MANILA BAY, July 20, via Hong Kong,
August Fighting in this vicinity Is
practically over, SO far as the Spaniards
are concerned. No negotiations of an
official character have yet been begun,
but Rear Admiral Dewey has received
information from Manila that the city
will surrender when called on to do SO.
The demand will be made when Gen.
Merritt is ready, though possibly it will
be delayed till the arrival of the moni-
tor Monterey, merely to make sure of
no further resistance by the Spaniards.
A sufficient force of troops will be
ready to discmbarl1 on. the citys water
front when the surrender is made to
take full possession of the present Span
ish lines. Our remaining regiments
will then gointo camp. Admiral Dewey
will then quickly reinforce the men al
ready int trenches, and the occupa
ton will be complete.
Gen. Merritt expects to take posses
sion of the telegraph line from BacooI
to Parananequc Bay, and there may be
some friction in consequence with the
rebels, who now have control of it, and
it may even precipitate Aguinaldo's ex'
pected resistance to the American army,
As soon as the city is occupied by the
Americans it is expected the cable will
be reconnccted.
infer that the terms of the surrender
will include the transportation of al
Spanish prisoners back to Spain, but in
most other respects it will be uncondi
tional.
Difficulty is feared over securing the
release of Spaniards now held by tn,
rebels, and that may not be part Of the
terms.
The seamen and soldiers keep in cX
cellent health, in spite OF the heavy
rainfall.
