Olympia, the Boston, the Raleigh,
the Concord, the Petrol and the
Monocacy entered the bay under cover
of darkness by the smaller and safer

on the intruders. but they seem to
have inflicted no serious damage.

admiral Montijo, few days before,
went to Sublc bay to look for the
enemy, but learning that they were
vastly superior in force, had prudently
returned and placed his ships under
the protection Of the forts, This was
his only chance of meeting the enemy
on something like equal terms, and 1t
did not suffice.
Soon the Americans opened fire, The
Spaniards replied vigorously and the

hut There Were Sad Faces to be Seen
Everywhere.


Madrid, May 2.-The celebration in
honor of the Spanish officers. Ruiz,
Daolz and Voardez, the victims OF
Murat's massacre. have proceeded to-
day as usual, in spite of the bad news
from the Philippines. fine process
sion was headed by the civic guards,
twelve abreast, followed by the or
phans, the Madrid charities, veterans,
municipal functionarles and officials
and others Several regiments of troops
brought up the rear. The streets were
packed but there was no outward dis
play of sorrow.
In political circles, however. Import
ant developments are hourly expected.
Senior Romero y Robledo. leader of the
Weylerlte party, will interpollate the
government in congress tomorrow ON
the events at Manila, and the Carlists
and republicans will participate in the
debate, which is expected to have i'm
portant resu'x
1t is asserted that the burning Of the
Reina Christina was due to American
petroleum bombs, and that number
of matched huts belonging to natives
were set on fire in the same way.
The publication of the Liberals dis
patch from Manila removes the last
hone of the Spariards, and II Is now
admitted on all sides that the Spanish
fleet has been completely destroyed and
that 1t is probably only question of
hours as to when the Americans will
occupy Manila.
The fact that the Liberal, which is
Premier Sagasta's organ, admitted the
complete defeat of the Spanlards, gives
additional significance to the frank an
nouncement,
The governments news from Manila
Is apparently behind that of the news

ing in Madrid at 1924 yesterday morn

reached the cabinet that the news
paper men had received news of the
second engagement. Gen. Correa and
Admiral Bermijo Immediately COM
municated with their departments and
found that fresh dispatch was being
| declphered. Premier Sagasta ordered
the dispatch to be brought to the coun-
Gil for deciphering.
The confused wording of the mes
| sage showed the state OF mind of the
sender, Admiral Montijo, but finally its
contents were elucldated and demon
strated to the minister's horror the
complete destruction of the Spanish
squadron. Gen. Correa and Admira
Bermijo went straight to the queen re.
gent, who was terribly distressed.
Madrid was not excited this morning
but sad faces were to be seen every
where Capt. Cadarzo of the Spanish
cruiser Reina Maria Christina, who
was killed and whose vessel wa,
among those destroyed, belongs to {
Madrid family, who are proud of tn,
circumstances of his death.
The newspapers of thls city, com
menting upon the utter defeat of tn,

WORRYING DIPLOMATS.


Washington, d. c.. May g.
Although the British colonial office
had been fully advised of the American
success at Manila, the authorities in
London did not communicate with the
British embassy here nor did the for
eign office at Paris, Berlin or other cap
itals notify their representatives here.
This Is taken to indicate that the for
eign offices will not communicate events
of strictly military character. and
also that the American occupation of
the PHILIPPINES has not assumed n politi-
cal aspect at foreign centers. Sir Chas,
Mitchell, who has advised the British
colonial office on the situation at Ma
Mia, is well known to the British OFF,
cials here. He is governor general of
the straits settlements, his home being
ut Singapore, which has cable commun-
ication with Manila.
The late reports that Manila was be-
ing bombarded. caused much uneasi-
ness at the foreign headquarters. 1t
was said that II the town itself was
under bomhardment, serious complica-
lions might arise, as non-combatants
and the foreign colonies. 1t Is held.

twenty-four hours notice of an at

ously depletes the Spanish navy at n

rate cruisers.

barque-rigged ship. 800 feet long, with
n displacement of 5000 tons. She had n
total OF twenty-one guns, ranging from
the 6-inch breeoh-loadlng Hontoria
down TO small machine gun and sew
eral torpedo tubes. She carried $40
men.
The cruiser Castillo was slightly
larger than the Reina Christiana, hav-
Ing 3.3i0 tons displacement She had
fourteen guns, all hreech-loadlng
Krrpps, and two torpedo tubes.
The Don Juan de Austria, which
was blown up, was another good craft.
Of the gunboat type. She was 40 feet
