HONG KONG, Aug. 16.-It was 10
o'clock Saturday morning when Ad-
miral Dewey signalled his feet to ad-
vance on Manila, having previously
received refusal from the captain
general to surrender. With the
OLYMPIA in the lead Dewey again ask
ed the captain general to surrender.
Receiving another refusal, the gun
ners on the OLYMPIA were then COM
manded to commence bombarding
with eight inch shells. The report of
the first gun was the signal for the
advance of the Americans on land,
and the fighting began, lasting two
hours. The Spanish then surrendered
and our troops marched into the city.
General Augusti escaped at dusk.
Word is expected every moment from
Admiral Dewey with details. These
facts are given by the German consul.
Expect Word from Dewey today.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Further
details of the capture of Manila by
Admiral Dewey are anxiously awaited
by the administration. The meagre
reports from Consul Wildman merely
state that the city was bombarded
and surrendered. 1t is not known
how long the seige lasted, whether
serious damage was done or what the
casualties we're. If Dewey and Mer-
ritt are in possession of the city they
should open cable communication d.
rect with Hong Kong immediately
If the story is true particulars Of the
capture will surely be received
before morning. Regarding Govern
or General Augusti being carried
away by German warship this gov
ernment will probably not take any
other steps than to make . formal
protest to Germany. With the war
over the United States will have no
use for the captain general, ~ Spain
has no American prisoners TO sx-
change for hin.

THE END OF cERvEnA,s FLEET.

Admiral Cervers's splendid ships
which set out from Cape Vincent on
April 90 TO make dash upon our block
ago, complete wrecks, with their COM
mander prisoner in the hands of the
Americans The details of their destruc-
ton are somewhat meagre. but 1T appears
that Cervera, believing that Santiago
was destined to fall into the hands of
| the Americans, which meant of course
| the capture or destruction Of his ships.
undertook a sortic, hoping that some of
them might escape. 1t was desperate
chance, but it was the only one that lay
between him and certain destruction.
Only one ship, the Cristobal Colon, sue
| ceeded in getting fairly out of the harbor,
and she was pursued and finally driven
ashore. The Others got no farther than
the harbor's mouth. Some of them were
sunk by the American fire, while others
were beached by their commanders and
blown up to prevent their falling into
our hands. Their crews fought as desper-
| ately as did Montijo's at Manila, but
shots failed to hit our ships, while al
| most every ball and she'll from Samp-
sons squadron, struck some vital part of
the Spanish vessels. 1t was in many re-
spects repetition of the engagement at
| Cavite, through Cervera's ships were far
superior to Montijo's, and their arma-
ment much more effective. The Spaniards
showed the same desperate vaIor, and the
same determination to keep their ships
out of our hands at all hazards. Their
shooting. too, was equally wretched.
Dewey lost not single man, and Samp-
son lost but one, while the losses to the
Spaniards in both cases ran up into the
hundreds. Dewey's victory placed Ma
Mia at our mercy and Sampson's probably
ensures tho early fall of Santiago.
Within two months Spain has lost no
less than 90 of her war ships from attacks
by cur fleets, while we have not had a
single vessel disabled and very few even
| sells The three or four fighting ships
with Camara at the Suez Canal, consti-
| tute practically all that is left of her
navy, and in few weeks, unless Spain
sues for peace, Commodore Watson or
Admiral Dewey will dispose Of them.
| The record made by our navy. since the
war began.is one of which every Ameri-
can may be justly proud. With the loss
of not single ship, and only one man,
it has swept two powerful Spanish
fleets out of existence.

The sole purpose for which the expedi-
ton to Santiago was originally organized
was the capture of Admiral Cervera' s
ships which could not be gattained by our
feet owing to extreme danger that would
attend the sending of our ships into the
harbor, which was.full ofEmines and pro-
Aected by strong land Notifications. Santi-
ago itself was not looked on as point
of any great strategic value, though its
possession would furnish our ships with
valuable harbor of refuge in the
sudden tornadoes which are liable to &C.
CIR on the coast of Cuba at this time of
year. If we should withdraw our army
now all would have been accomplished
which was originally intended. But the
purpose of the expedition has broadened
since it was begun, till it covers the capt
ure or destruction Of Linares's army as
we'll as Cervera's ships. Not only must
Santiago be occupied, but the retreat of
the Spanish army must be cut off OR our
success will not be complete.

WESTBROOK.

Two false alarms were sent in from
boxes Is and Al early Monday morning.
The boys in their endeavor to have some
fun thought they would pull in an alarm.
The auxiliary key boxes were broken into
and the alarm sent in. The first alarm
was about o. clock and the second at 8
o'clock. There is a penalty for pulling a
a false alarm, and if caught these young
men will probably be dealt with to the
full extent of the law.

The destruction of Admiral Cervera' s
feet greatly simplifes the situation for
Gen. Shafter. There can be no doubt that
a considerable part of his losses in the
battles of Friday and Saturday was
caused by the deadly fire which these
ships poured in upon him from the har-
Dor, where they lay out of reach of our
war Ships Certainly this feet WAS one
of the most important of.Rthe defences
which he referred to in his despatch of
Sunday as too strong to be carried by
storm by his forces. He'll has now to
meet only the Spanish troops in front of
him, and no longer will be exposed to
the calling fire from the modern rapid
gans Of the feet. The change in the sit
uation brought about by the removal of
this feet quickly showed itself in Shat
ter's view of the situation. Dis
trust gave place to confidence, and he
promptly demanded the surrender of the
city on pain of bombardment. He may
need achievements before making an
attempt to carry the city by storm, but
evidently he no longer contemplates fall
ing back to wait for them.

RAMPoLLA's DECEPTION.

Paris, July 4.-The Journal says the
mental condition Of the Pope Is exag-
gerated, but adds:
ut is true his mind is failing, His
Holiness has been greatly deceived by
Cardinal Rampolla's attitude in the war.
While the Pope was doing his utmost to
prevent war, Cardinal Rampolla was in
triguing to nullify the negotiations. The
Pope eventually learned the truth and be-
came SO angry and excited that the Incl
dent permanently affected his brain.
Since then he has had no communication
with Cardinal RampolIa.

army which has reached Manila, consists
of about $500 men, not large force, but
probably sufficient to ensure order in
Manila if that city falls into our bands.
What Admiral Dewey's programme will
be, whether he will demand the immedi-
ate surrender Of the city and enforce the
demand by bombardment if it is refused
or will wait for the arrival of more troops,
remains to be seen. That Admiral
Dewey's action will be what is wisest
and most discreet under the circumstan-
ces nobody will doubt who has watched
his course since he attacked and sunk
the Spanish feet in the bay of Cayite.

The Spanish press tells the Madrid peo-
pie that American reports of the destruc-

That way of treating the matter will only
enhance the trouble that will come when
the people find out the truth which
they must do sooner or later.
