SOMEWHAT ANCIENT.
General Anderson Gives His Ac-
count Of the Capture of Ma
nIIa. Several Weeks Ago.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Rsperts Of
General Thomas NJ. Anderson, COM
mandlng the second division, Eight
Army Corps, and General Macarthur,
commanding the FIRST brigade Of that
division, az to operations about Manila,
we're made public at the War Depart
ment today.
Anderson thus describes the attack
on Manila, which was under his imms-
date command, subject to orders from
Merritt, whose headquarters were on
the dispatch boat: The fleet opened
fire at $3.50 q. m. The first shots fell
short, but the range was soon found,
and then the fire became evidently ef-
fective. j at once telegraphed Near
thur to open on the block house No. IA.
and begin attack. at the same time
several guns of the Utah batteries open
ed FIRE on the enemy's works. In front of
he second brigade, and two guns on
the right of this brigade opened oblIqus
FIRE toward the block house No. H. l
ordered the Frst California, which was
leading the regiment service, to 60 for
forward and repert to General
Greene. Going to reserve telegraph
1 received message from Macarthur
that his fire on the block house was ef-
fective, but that he was eniladed from
the right. knew he wished to push
the Insurgents aside, and put In the
Astor battery. then authorized him
to attack, which he did. and soon after
the Twenty-third infantry and Thir-
teenth Minnesota carried the advance
line Of che enemy in a most gallant
manner, one gun of each battery lend
ing most effective assistance.
Meantime the Colorado regiment had
charged and carried the right of the
enemy's line, and the Eighteenth Reg
ular Infantry and Third Heavy (Reg-
ulsr) Artillery, acting as infantry, ad-
vanced and passed over the enemy's
works in their front, without oppo-
sition. General Macarthur was heav-
lily engaged at the second line of de-
Tense near Singalong.
1t was evident that the beat way to
assist him was to press our success on
the left. / therefore directed General
Greene to connect, II possible, with Mac
Arthur by sending regiment to his
right. But the enemy seemed deter
mined for the time to given street
fight and the Colorado and California
regiments were the only ones available.
Soon the men from Nebraska and
Wyoming came on shouting, for white
flag could now be seen on the sea front;
yet the firing did not cease and the
Spanish soldiers at the front did not
seem to be notified of the surrender.
Soon report came that Singalong had
had been carried and that the brigade
was advancing on Paco.
