very plentiful and are forcing
down the prices of the old

great pity you exposed your lives on
vessels not fit for fighting"
BLAMEs HIS GOVERNMENT.
Commodore Dewey sent mes
sage to Admiral Montejo as follows:
4 have pleasure in clasping your
hand and offering my congratula-
tions on the gallant manner in
which you fought" Admiral Mon
tejo attributes the responsibility of
his defeat to the government at
Madrid. He had only obsolete
vessels, though he had requisitioned
the government for ships. He had
no torpedoes except some which he
himself constructed out OF ineffec-
tive material. His original inten-
ton was to remain at Subic and
offer battle but he returned to
Cavite becauee the Subic forts were
inadequate.
During the bombardment of the
Cavite Arsenal, Commodore Dewey
suspended fire at the request OF the
Spaniards to allow the women and
children to be removed to a place of
safety. | witnessed the second
bombardment. The American YES
sells were admirably handled. The
rebels looted Cavite Immediately,
the Spaniards flying to Manila, and
encounters with the rebels were
frequent in the suburbs. When l
landed on May 2, l found the city
panic-stricken, and the shops re-
NAMED closed for three days.
ARMIsTIoE AGREED UPON.
"Finding that an armistice had
been agreed upon many civilians re-
turned. The run on the Spanish
bank was checked by the Hongkong
and Chartered Bank offering to
negotiate Spanish notes. The posi-
tion OF the British section OF the
community was precarious, owing
to the scattered position OF their
houses. Food was scarce and at
famine prices; the soldiers had re-
NAMED unpaid for several weeks
and looting was feared.
"On Friday before the lombard
ment, the steamer Gulf OF Martaban
left for Singapore and London with
Spanish and English women and
children on board; but many Eng
lish families still remain ashore.
The Spaniards are not expected to
cspitulate. Commodore Dewey has
Manila at his mercy; but it would
be useless to lombard the city with
out sufficient force to hold it.
"There was a stormy meeting be-
tween the British residents and the
British Consul over the delay in
obtaining protection from three
British vessels, allowing Others to
load hence. For few days
popular animosity toward English.
man was intense, The Spanish sol
diers spatat an Englishman and
used foul language. When the in
cident came to the knowledge OF
Gov.-Gen. August, he wrote an
ample apology to the Secret airy OF
the English Club, threatening to

miral Montejo, who, recognizing the
superiority OF the American squad

Cavite forts. He fought in the Reina
Maria Cristina until she was on FIRE
fore and aft, and had fifty.two killed
On the advice of his Flag Lieuten-
ant, he transferred his flag to the
Isla de Cuba. Eventually, after two
and hall hours fighting, he gave
the signal to scuttle and abandon
her. Commodore Dewey ceased fire
and ask permission OF the forts to
destroy the burning ships. Admiral
Montejo replied: The ships are at
your mercy; do as you like The
American fire was then resumed till
the Spanish squadron was COM
pletely annihisted.
"The Captain Of the Boston, who
carried the flag of truce, said: You
combatted us with four very bad
ships, not warships. We have never
seen before drawer fighting under
such unequal conditions. 1t is a
great pity you exposed your lives on
vessels not fit for fighting"
