American field guns threw heavier

Hong Kong, August E.-Admiral
Dewey gave General Augustin an
hour in which to surrender, at the
time of the last demand, made on
Saturday. General Augustin refused
to comply.
The bombardment, which began at
$3.50 a. M, was continued for two
hours, and then the Americans
| stormed the trenches, sweeping all
before them.
Those within the walls attempted
no resistance. The First Colorado
volunteers stormed the outer trenches
and drove the SpaniardS into the Sec
ond line of defenses. Then the Amer
lean troops swept on, driving all the
| Span into the inner fortifica-
tions, where the Spanish commander,
seeing that further resistance was
useless, hoisted the white flag and
surrendered.
The losses, American and Spanish,
are not yet known. The Spaniards in
the trenches proba bly, numbered 5000
men. The American attacking force
numbered 10000, and the Americans
were better armed, better trained

The foreign fleets watched the bonn
bardment with acute interest.
The American warships engaged
were the Olympia, Petrol, Raleigh,
McOulloch. Boston, Monterey, Balti-
more and Charleston.
| The Spaniards assert that the fire
of the Americans for the most part
fell short, the only effective fire being
from small gunboat armed with
| quick-firing guns that was close in
shore. 1t is also asserted by the
| Spaniards that "the Americans lost
heavily in the storming. owing to the
faulty construction of their intrench-
ments, which the Spaniards could
command from the heights and upon
which they poured a CALLING fire."
The Spanish trench extended
around Manila at distance of from
two to four miles from the walled
city, forming a circle ten miles in cir
cumference, and it was impossible,
the Spaniards say, to hold so long .
line against the American attack.
Admiral Dewey and General Mer-
rift, it is reported. had issued orders
to spare all except armed defenses Of
the city, and consequently the town
Is understood to have been but little
damaged.
Some street fighting between the
insurgents and the Spaniards occur
red on the outskirts. but order pre-
vailed within the walled section.
The American version Of the battle
Is not yet obtainable. General Au-
gustin, former captain general of the

PART Of the ruin that is being
wrought at the Agricultural College
about which Republicans have so
much to say, is the establishment Of
a lunch room at which students may
get warm Wednesday lunch at ac-
tual cost. Another ruinous feature is
an arrangement whereby books and
other similar material may be bought
at cost. Arrangements are also being
perfected to provide more work for
students who have spare time. The
average college student has no
more money than he needs and all
these things make the burden Of
securing an education much lighter.
