gagement with the Spanish fleet at
Manila, The report is a brief CT
pher and was conveyed to Hong
Kong by the q. S. transport
Hugh McCulloch, of Dewey's
fleet.
The report shows that Dewey
engaged the Spanish feet and the
forts of Manila and Cavit, all at
the same time, or rather that he
had to fight them all at the same
time, with the result that he COM
pletely destroyed the Spanish fleet,

ish marines and officers, and sis
fenced the forts of Manila and
Cavite, but was unable to take pos-

sufficient men to hold it against
the Spanish garrison and other
hand forces. Dewey is in COM

Mia, and has effected a landing
at Cavit and has 256 Spanish SOL

killed, and not one of our boats
more than slightly injured.
Dewey cut the cable ia the bay in
the early stage of the engage
ment.
The report states that Dewey's
fentire feet opened fire upon the
Spanish fleet, (which returned the
fire, and at the same time a
heavy fire was opened on our
feet from fort Cavite- Soon the
Spanish flagship took fire, and
Admiral Montejo transferred to

later the Spanish cruiser Castillo
was in flames. At this stage
Dewey still fighting the rapidly
collapsing Spanish feet, opened
a vigorous FIRE upon Cavite. and
although the Notifications were
bomb-proof, the American fire
was so terrible and the aim ol
our gunners SO cool and deadly,
that the guns of the fort were
swept of their crews as quickly
as they appeared, until finally

A BIG CAPTURE.
By Telegraph to The Argus.
Key West, May 6.-The big
French line steamer Lafayette,
from Havre and purporting to be
bound for Vera Cruz, attempted to
enter Havana harbor yesterday
afternoon. She was signaled by
the u. S, blockading fleet and orr
dered to withdraw, the captain
protested that he had only mail on
board, but, nevertheless, he was
not permitted to pass the blockade,
and therefore he put to sea, pre-
sumably on his way to Vera Cruz.
A closer watch was inaugurated
by the U. fleet, our officers evil
IDENTIFY suspected the Lafayette,
and last night she returned and
attempted to run the blockade in
the cover of darkness; but she was
detected by the q. S. gunboat An
napolis and promptly captured.
1t was found that she had on board
161 passengers, mostly Spanish
officers and soldiers to reinforce
Blanco in Havana, together with
large quantities of. munitions Of
war. Of course the Captain Of
the Lafayette will share the. same
fate as any of the Spanish officers
Icaptured with him, as he was more
guilty than they and a liar as
well.
