ANOTHER HOT FIGHT.
Spaniards Repulsed in Desperate At
tempt to Recapture a Lighthouse.

Spaniards Repulsed in Desperate At
tempt to Recapture a Lighthouse.
CAPE SAN JUAN, PoRTo RIco.-
There was a two hours fight before
daybreak last Wednesday. Eight hun
dred Spaniards attempted to take the
lighthouse, which was guarded by
forty of our sailors, commanded by
Lieut.. Atwater. The Spainards were
driven back by shells from the Amphi-
trite, Cincinnati and Leyden. Refu
gees report that 100 Spaniards were
killed. One American was wounded.
The Spanish advance began from Rio
Grande, whittier the Spaniards had re-
treated after the landing of troops at
Cape San Juan last week. They
marched through Luquilio and pulled
down the American flag at Fajardo and
replaced the Spanish flag. The terri
fed refugees warned the lighthouse
force that the Spaniards were coming.
The Spaniards opened fire with
machine gun at distance of 800
yards. The Leyden rushed within
hundred yards of the shore and poured
one-pounders into the Spauiards. Capt.
Barclay, of the Amphitrite, used six
Founders, and the Cincinnati tive-inch
guns. The ships landed $50 men dur
ing the fight and reinforced the light
house. A machine gun, rifles and am
munition were left by the retreating
5paniards. Our flag is still on the
lighthouse, but the forces have been
withdrawn. The Amphitrite's guns
cover the lighthouse, ready to annihi-
late it if our flag is hauled down. 1t
is one of the most important lights on
the islam I.

COMMANDERS ORDERED
TO CEASE HOST|L|T|ES.
Porto Rico and Manila to Be Turned
Over to America at Once.
ARDUOUs WORK OF SETTLEMENT BEGINS.
This War Will Be Known as One Of
the Shortest in History, Having
Lasted Only 113 Days.

WAsHINGToN.-The war is at an end.
All that there remains now is to appoint
the commissioners and agree upon
treaty of peace. Orders have been
sent to all commanders at the front to
cease hostilities, and according to the
terms of the protocol Spain will notify
her commanders at Havana, San Juan
and Manila to surrender their arms
and resist the march of the American
army no longer. Porto Rico and Manila
are to he turned over to American off :
GERS at once, and military governors
will be appointed as soon as the COM
missioners can arrange for the evacua-
tion of the territory ceded to the
United States. There will be military
commissioners sent to San Juan and
Havana. The peace commission will
meet in Paris.
From now on there will be the ardu-
Gus work of settlement, but no hitch
of any kind is anticipated for the
reason that by the time the peace com
mission meets the islands of Porto
Rico, Cuba and another in the Ladrones
and the town of Manila will be garri-
soned by American armies.
There will be no further power of
resistance in Spain. Just as the ex-
pulsion of Minister Woodford April
marked the beginning of the war, so
the signing of the protocol closes it.
The declaration of war passed by con-
gress dated back to April 81. This
war will be known in history as one of
the short wars of the world, it having
lasted just 113 days.
Four days of fighting comprises the
actual scrapping done, with the excep-
tion of skirmishes and bombardment.
One day at Manila and one day at San
tiago sufficed to destroy the naval
power of the enemy, and two days
fighting at Santiago ended in the sur
render of that province.
But it has been none the less effec-
tive and none the less glorious. 1t
has demonstrated to the world the
power of America, and has added some
of the richest islands on the globe to
the country's possession.
Judge Day will be at the head OF
she peace commission, but the presi-
dent has not intimated to any one as
to who the other members will be.

Philippines Desire Annexation.

Hone KoNG-The Philippine iunta
called publicly on Consul General
Wildman and declared that their coun
try desires annexation.
They protested against tbs reports
that Aguinaldo had declined to aid the
Americans in the battle of July 81;
that he had deserted the trenches and
failed to warn the Americans of the
Spanish attack. The iunta alleges
that Aguinaldo retired his forces from
the trenches below Malate at the re-
quest of General Merritt, the same as
they retired from Cavite at the request
of General Anderson.
The junta says Aguinaldo has kept
every promise made since he left Hong
Kong, and that his life and the lives of
his men are always at the command of
General Merritt and Admiral Dewey.

dies shall be Immediately evacuated,

pectively, to arrange and execute the

Fifth-That the United States and
Spain will each appoint not more than

m. Friday by Secretary of State Day,
representing the United States, and
M. Cambon, the French ambassador,

THE LAST BATTLE OF THE WAR
1t Falls to the Lot of the Navy at Man
zanillo.

zanillo.
Acting Secretary Allen of the navy
department has received dispatch no.
tifying him that a naval force sent by
Admiral Sampson had appeared in the
harbor at Manzanillo and demanded its
surrender.
The commandant of the city declined
to comply with the demand and an en-
gagement took place, which is said to
have resulted VIGOROUSLY for the
Americans.
The fight at Manzanillo was begun
at o'clock, twenty-three minutes be-
fore the protocol was signed, by
bombardment from the fleet 1t was
reported that marines had been land
ed, but the dispatch received by Gen.
Greeley from the signal officer at
Playa del Este made no such state
ment.
At the navy department it is said
that the only vessels at Manzanillo
are some small blockading ships
which could not have conducted the
operations described in the message
received.
1t is said that Admiral Sampson is
at Guantanamo, and that Capt Good
rich, with the Newark, Scorpion and
Suwanee, is in the vicinity of the Isle
of Pines, and that, therefore, neither
of those officers could have had any
thing to do with the engagement,
In view of the signing of the pro-
tocol and the suspension of hostillties
every effort was made by the author
tiles to stop the fight at Manzanillo.
A dispatch was sent by Adjt. Gen.
Corbin to Santiago directing Gen.
Shafter to get into communication
with Manzanillo as soon as possible
and inform the naval commanders
there that hostilities were over.

Southern States Expect n Great Increase

The New York journal has received
dispatches from the heads Of COM
mercial and manufacturing associa-
tions in all parts of the country, and
in every case the report is enthusiastic.
There is no dark spot anywhere in the

casts of the approaching boom. The
southern reports are particularly glow
ing in their promises of forthcoming
increase of commercial activity.

English Papers Pleased.
London morning

London morning papers are
unanimous in expressing qualification
that the ricanHispano war is
ended. The comment mainly turns
on the fact that the protocol leaves
untouched the hardest problems now
facing America. The Times believes
it will be real peace, adding:
''We trust it is no violation of neu-
trality to express the satisfaction of
the great majority of Englishmen in
Americas success, and we venture the
prediction that Cuba, twenty years
hence, will be prosperous and tran
nuil island"
