One American vessel not mentioned
was disabled.
Dewey demanded the immediate sur
render of all torpedoes, guns, the city of
Manila, and possession of the cable office,
threatening to bompard the city unless his
request was complied with.
The Spaniards refused. 1t is believed
that the bombardment began this morning.
All cable service was interrupted this
morning and it is probable that the cable
was cut by the Spaniards.

Two Engagements.
Battle Began at Daybreak---our ships
Drew on and Then Returned.

Drew on and Then Returned.
A New York Herald special London de-
spatch says: Commodore Dewey's squad
ron, leaving Subg Bay, few miles from
Manila, about four o'clock Saturday after
noon, proceeded toward Manila. Under
the cover of darkness he entered the har-
Dor of Manila, the batteries located there
announcing his arrival.
Both fleets lined up for battle about day
break Sunday morning. The guns of the
American war ships began firing on the
fortress of Cavite and the Arsenal of
Manila.
Under the protection of the guns of
these Notifications the Spanish war ships
opened fire on the American fleet For
several hours the harbor resounded with
the roar of guns, the crashing of steel and
timbers. the shrieks and groans OF the
wounded Thick clouds of smoke at times
almost obscured the opposing fleets from
each other.
A well-directed shot reached the iron
cruiser Don Juan de Austria, vessel OF
| n
and the ship was blown up.
All the time during the first engagement
the American ships were under way, their
manpuvring being intended to render the
craftsmanship of the Spanish gunners
less effective.
The American squadron about o'clock
drew off to the west side of the bay and
took refuge behind some foreign shipping
The ships had evidently suffered consider
able damage. After some hasty repairs
they returned to the conflict.
During the two engagements that took
place Commodore MontOjo, commanding
the Spanish fleet, lost three OF his largest
ships. His flagship, the steel cruiser
Reina Cristina, and the armored cruiser
Castillo were burned, and the cruiser Don
Imam de Austria was blown up. Several
other Spanish vessels were badly damaged
One reports adds that several other
Spanish ships were sunk by their COM
manders to prevent their falling into the
hands of the Americans.
That the American squadron received
severe damage in the engagement cannon
be doubted.
There were undoubtedly heavy losses IN
men on both sides. One apparently trust
worthy report states that the Spanish nae
POO killed and 400 wounded.
Trustworthy details of the American
loss of life will hardly be obtainable unit

The Situation.


Admiral Dewey, who won the great vic
tory for the United States over the Span
ish at the Philippine islands Sunday morn
ing, is following up his advantage, and
late despatch by way of Hong Kong says:
"The bombardment of Manila has begun.
The inhabitants are fleeing to the country.
The operators in the cable station in the
midst of the forts have fled to save their
lives" A despatch from Hong Kong to the
London Daily Mail, dated yesterday, says
Commodore Dewey's fleet is off Corregi-
dor island, holly engaged with the forts
there Electrical experiments show that
the cable has been cut at or near Manila"
1t appears that Admiral Dewey, through
the British consul at Manila, called upon
the governor to surrender the guns, torpe-
does and cables under penalty of lombard
ment. This demand was refused and the
attack began.
A special despatch received in London
from Madrid last night says, however, that
Admiral Dewey gave Gen. August "A
hours to comply with his ultimatum, de-
handing all stores and coal, and it is be-
lieved that the government has cablel
August to comply. A despatch from
Madrid at II last night quotes FL I'M
parcial as saying that the greatest import
ance was attached to last nights cabinet
council, at which it was expected deci-
sion would be reached as to the reply to be
made to the request of Capt Gen. August
for instructions.
The Paris Safe.
New York, April 30.-The American
line steamship, Paris, arrived in the har-
Dor this morning from Southampton. She
had a rough passage, and her time was
seven days and II hours. She saw no
| Spanish vessels. She took a course 80
miles north of her regular route in order
| to avoid the enemy. The Paris will not
make a return trip as passenger boat,
but will be fitted out as a cruiser as soon
as possible, to be known as the Yale.
The Drift of the Weeks News. ''
New York, April 29.-Owing to subma,
rine mines in the bay pilot boats to Sandy

and the submarine mines make New Yorl
city secure from damage by Spanish gun
boats.

Spanish spy on the st. Paul.

Philadelphia, May THE report that a
supposed Spanish spy has been captured
aboard the auxiliary cruiser st. Paul at
Cramps shipyard has been confirmed.
Capt. Sgsbee refuses to state who the
man is. 1t is known that he is a Spaniard.
He enlisted several days ago as an oiler.
He was under suspicion from the first
owing to his peculiar actions. marine
discovered him below near the magazine
last night. The captain committed him to
the brig. The st. Paul is expected to
leave the yard tomorrow.
The Cape Verde Fleet Must BE De-
strOyed.
The New York Herald says the conclu-
sion of the war board yesterday was to the
effect that Spain's fleet in the Atlantic
must be annihilated before an attempt is
made to capture Havana. 1t is probable
that naval engagement will be fought
between the Spanish fleet now on its way
across the Atlantic and the armored YES
sells of Admiral SIMPSONS command, re-
inforced by Commodore Schley's flying
squadron, before any steps are taken tc
land an army of invasion in the island OF
Cuba.
The policy of the administration will be
to make the campaign against Havana
short, sharp and decisive. In order to dc
! ibis an adequate land force must have thu
cooperation of all the armored vessels tina
can be brought into service for the bonn
bardment of MORO Castle and the othe
defences of Havana harbor.
With Spaln's fleet steaming rapidly west
ward, there would not be time to reduc
Havana before that fleet must be met. l
is also thought to be unadvisable to rsl
the disabling of any of the armored vessel
at Admiral Simpsons command by tn
guns of Moro Castle before the Spanisl
feet has been met. With this fleet ono
swept from the Atlantic Admiral Sampso
could concentrate for the attack upo
Havana an overwhelming force.

WILL THE ALLIANCE DISSOLVE?
Austria Irritated by Prussian Expul
sion of Austrian SlaV

VIENNA. Nov. 30.-FOr some tune there
has been irritation in Austria over the
numerous explosions 10y the Prusslau
government Of Austrian Slays who emf
grated from the frontier districts of Sile-
STA. The matter has suddenly and I'M
expectedly famed into prominence and
now constitutes a situation which. in the
opinion of many, threatens international
relations. and not improbably involves
Austhias withdrawal from the Triple AL
lance.
1t is the Austrian Prime Minister, Count
Thun- Hohenstein, who has thrown this
political bomb. Answering an interpella-
ton submitted by the Polish ana Czech
members OF the Lower House of the
Reichsrath yesterday. he announced that
the Foreign Office had made frequent and
emphatic representations 10 Germany In
the matter. Assurances have been re-
ceived from the Berlin Cabinet which
gave reason TO hope that the difficulty
would be rectihed, but if this expectation
was not realized, and especially If Aus
TITAN citizens were deprived of their
rights under treaty stpulations. the
Prime Minister promised the House that
the government would not hesitate 10 de-
fend those rights, and eventually, If ne
cessary. to adopt reprisals.
This declaration created a widespread
sensation. and is generally interpreted
as a warning TO Prussia.
The Meme Erie presse which is pro-
German organ. defends the action Of
Prussia. and says # regards the Prime
Minister'S statement as only interpretable
as an intention to prepare for the termi-
nation of the Triple Alliance
The foregoing is fairly representative
Of the views Of Germans in Austria.
BERLIN. November 30-The speech Of
Count -Hohenstein. the Austrian
Prime Minister, in the Reichsrath yester-
day has fallen here Ike a thunferbolt.
True. there has been whispers Of dis
satisfaction In Austria, but public opinion
was altogether unprepared for Austria S
vigorous declaration.
The press takes up the gauntlet. The
National Zeitung warns Count Thun-
Hohenstein that if he proceeds to make
reprisals on German subjects In Austria.
the numerous Austrians residing in Ger
many will no longer be permitted TO
dwell I'm the country in peace.
The Kreuz Zeitung says that the re-
prisals Germany could adopt would far
outweigh any that Austria could eAer-
else
The Vosslche Zeitung though opposed
to the explosions. declares that there Is
no possible justification for Count Thun-
Hoherstein's menace. IL speculates as
To whether the Austrian Prime Minister
is preparing tho world FOR the dissolution
