Hongkong, May II - The United

arrived arrived here from Manila with
dispatches for the United States gov
eminent. She reports that the Spanish
guhboat Callao, from the Caroline is
lands, recently entered the port of Ma
hild, being ignorant of the outbreak of
hostilities between Spain and the Unit
ed States. All American Warship fired
ieross her bows and signalled her a
demand fol- her surrender. The de-
nahd being disr6gaFded; the American
Ship fired direct at th6 Spanish gun
boat and the latter surrendered:
The populace of Manila is reduced to
eating horsehesh and the prospect OF
relief seems far distant. The M&Cul-
loch also reports THAT the Philippine
insurgents applied to Rear Admiral
Dewey for his approval of an attack by
them upon the city: The admiral it
appears, approved the plan provided no
excuses were committed. The insur
gents then pleaded that they had no
arms, with the exception of machetes,
to which the admiral replied Help
yourselves at the Cavite arsenal" The
city of Manila, however, has not yet
been attacked. About 5000 Spanish
troops are guarding the rear landing
from Cavite to Manila. There is no
truth in the reported massacre of
number of Americans. There has been
only q trif1ing incident during police
duty and nobody was hurt.
London, May II. = The Hongkong
correspondent of the Standard says:
"After the Callao's crew landed they
were released on parole and the Callao
was paraded in full view of Manila
city accompanied by the United States
cruiser Concord. When Mr.. Williams,
the American CONSUL landed at Cavite
last week lie was received with great
enthusiasm and followed in the streets
by crowd Of 1000 people shouting
'Viva los AmcricanoS" There were no
signs that the Spanish authorities in
Manila were prepared to capitulate
All the Spanish inhabitant and many
British and German families have
sought safety in the suburbs, taking all
their belongings.

signalled to other ships on the station,
the Vicksburg, Annapolis, Wasp, Te-

with the gunboats on the right flank.
The little squadron moved in obliquely
toward the fleeing Spaniards, keeping
up a running fire as they went. The
Alphonso and her consort circled i'll
shore about five miles below Havana,
and after running in for half mile,
headed back for Moro castle. Our gun
boats and their skinned vessels of the
mosquito fleet did not follow them in.
Commander Lilly saw that the willy
Spanish ruse was to draw them In I'M
der the guns Of the heavy batteries,
where the Spanish artillery officers
could plot out the exact range with
their telameters and spot them. SO the
return was made in line ahead parallel
with the shore. Commander Lilly had
not been mistaken. AS his ships came
abreast of the Santa Clara battery the
big guns opened and fired shells at a
distance of about five miles. The
range was badly judged, as more than
half the shells overshot the mark and
others fell short, some as much as a
mile Two shells from the Vicksburg
burst in the rigging of the Alphonso
and some of it came down, but it was
impossible to know whether any fatali-
ties occurred. In all thirteen shots
were fired, but not one struck within
200 yards of our ships.
