AMERICAN LOSSES SMALL.
Six or Eight Killed and About Forty
Wounded.

HONG-KONG, Aug. 1.-THE American
collier Zatro. from Manila, which arrived
here yesterday, is anchored in Junk bay.
She left Manila on the 14th. A typhoon is
raging and it is impossible to land the
mails. 1t is learned, however, from an
American naval officer that when Admiral
Dewey on Aug 6, demanded the surrender
of Manila within forty-eight hours the
Spanish commander replied that the in
surgents being outside the walls, he had no
safe place for the women and children who
were in the city and asked for twenty-four
hours delay. This Admiral Dewey granted.
At the expiration of the specified time Ad-
miral Dewey and General Merritt consulted
and decided to postpone the attack.
On Aug. Is the American squadron formed
in line off Manila. The Olympia fired the
first shot at the Malate fort. The shots of
the Americans fell short and some time was
occupied in finding the range. Then the
Callao, one of the gunboats captured by
Admiral Dewey from the Spaniards. got
under the fort and sent in a hot fire. Great
destruction was done with the rapid-fire
guns. The fort failed to reply, but fired on
the American troops that were storming
the Spanish trenches The large American
ships were ordered to cease firing after an
fort to respond.
The fighting in the trenches was most
fierce. Fifteen minutes after the Spaniards
were driven to the second line of defense
they were forced to retreat to the walled
city, where, seeing the uselessness of re-
sistance, they surrendered and soon after
ward white flag hoisted over Manila.
The Belgian consul at Manila M. Andre
boarded the Olympia and returned with an
American lieutenant to the Spanish military
governor, who agreed to surrender. Gen.
Merritt proceeded to the palace at $3.50 and
there found the Spaniards formed in lines
The troops surrendered their arms, but the
officers were permitted to retain their
swords.
The American loss is reported to be six or
eight killed and forty wounded. The Span
ish loss was considerable but the exact
numbers are not obtainable. The trenches
were filled with badly wounded Spaniards.
Manila is now under martial law, with Gen.
Merritt as military governor.
The California Red Cross Society rendered
valuable aid to the sick and wounded. Per-
feet order prevailed in Manila on the even
ing of Aug. 10. AS the Americans marched
in guards were placed around the houses Of
all foreigners in order to prevent their being
looted.
The insurgents were not allowed to take
part in the attack upon the city, but We're
kept in the rear of the Americans. In order
to prevent bloodshed they were forbidden to
enter the city after the surrender unless
they were unarmed.
Before the surrender the Spaniards burned
the transport Cebu in the Pasig river. 1t is
supposed that Admiral Dewey was unaware
of the departure of Governor General
August The zafiro's officers first heard
the news of the governor generals flight
on their arrival here. General Augusti' 5

NEW YORK, Aug. IA special dispatch
from Manila, Aug. 13. via Hong-Kong, to
the New York Journal, says:
Five American soldiers were killed and
about forty-five wounded in the capture of
Manila. The stars and stripes were raised
over the city at $40 o'clock in the after
noon. In the bay Admiral Dewey's fleet
thundered a national salute. The combined
naval and land forces were employed in
the capture of the Spanish stronghold CT
the Philippines. At o'clock in the morn
ing the signal to begin firing was set on
Admiral Deweys flagship. The authorities
of the city and the consuls of foreign pow
ers had been previously notified of the in
tended bombardment For two hours great
shells were thrown into the city.
"After the bombardment the troops moved
forward to attack the Spaniards in the
trenches. There had been no reply to Dew
ey's bombardment, but the land forces met
with a hot reception. But the onv ard rush
of the Americans could not be stayed. With
a loss of five killed and over two score
wounded, they drove back the Spaniards
and captured the trenches. In a short time
the white flag was hoisted by the Dons,
and 1900 soldiers, 1900 rifles and a great
quantity OF ammunition were surrendered.
The Spanish loss has not yet been aScer-
tanned. 1t IS probably several times as large
that of the American forces. The Span
ish forces numbered about 5000 men, but
they were well intrenched. Nearly 10000
Americans were engaged in the assault, and
their loss under the circumstances is con-
sidered small

morning, are very slow in getting here,
there being only a few arrivals tonight.
Only one candidate has arrived, it being

cessful race in 1897. There will be three
candidates presented to the convention
Frank s Jones. of Ripley; Thomas kobbe,
of Bartholomew, and Major Lee, of SwitZ-

Bartholomew county delegates to have
their man nominated. 1t is reported that
he was formerly a Democrat. but that he
left the party on the money question. The
two most formidable candidates tonight are
Lee and Kobbe. What strength Jones will
have will not be known until the delegates
from the eastern counties arrive. AT pres

cal candidate.

GERMANY'S ACTION.
Spiriting Away of August Criticised
by the London Press

LONDON Aug 1.-THE Times, in an edi-
torial article this morning, says: "As the
signing of the protocol could not have been
known when the Germans arranged to re-
move Governor General August, the trans
action comes remarkably near a deliberate
breach of neutrality. But for the German
action General August would have been a
most important prisoner Of war The whole
story decidedly wants explanation
The Times does not think the United
States will be satisfied to be bounded by the
horizon advocated by Mr.. Carnegie in the
North American Review, and says: ION the
contrary, the American people might con-
template entering cosmic society and play
ing their part in the movements of the
world, instead of standing outside making
money and influence which they cannot use
for any purpose that appears to the imagi-
nation. Putting the thing in a more con-
crete form, we imagine it is widely felt that
there are, more especially after the actual
capture of Manila in a fair fight, RESPONSE
bilities in connection with the Philippines
which are not to be disposed of by such
purely unitarian and materialist arguments
as Mr.. Carnegie puts forth"
The Times comments on the Cerruti case
as a useful reminder that arbitration is not
always so easy, rapid and efficient Il method
of settling disputes as philanthropists are
simple case. The facts were scarcely dis
puted. The litigant country were of kindred
race and the arbitrator was a big brother
of all the South American republics. The
award was stated in the plainest possible
terms and imposed no intolerable burden
yet it has required seventeen months to
bring the losing party to pay it's debt. The
United States hardly feel gratifed at
the action of a third-rate little nation which
has so long evaded the plain terms of Mr.
Cleveland's award, insulted a great republic
and furnished fresh argument against the
expediency of arbitration in such cases"
The Pail Mall Gazette comments this
afternoon on the extraordinary action of
the Germans in assisting the flight of Gen.
Augusti from Manila" In terms similar to
those used by the Times this morning. II
