Manila Bombarded by
Admiral Dewey's
ion.
AUGUSTIN FLED TO HONG KONG
Spanish Cement Had Wot &ent Notice of
Signing of the Protocol German
Launch In Waiting Aided Angnatln
to Etcape Acknowledged in Madrid.
Hong Kong, Aug 17. It was ru
mored bore hast night that Manila had
surrendered, but no information was ob
tainable , from the , Spanish consul.
Governor-General Augustin refuses to
speak. The German consul was oalled
upon, and he informed the correspond
ent that tbe outskirts of Manila weie
bombarded by the Americans, and that
the city had surrendered. No damage
was done to the city proper, only the
outskirts being bombarded. The
BAY
or .
MANILA
MANILLA AND Its SURROTJNDINGa
date of the bombardment was unknowr.
to the German consul, who refused to
say any more.
General Augustin told a lady that
Admiral Dewey demanded the uur
render of Manila in an hour. The
Spaniards declined to surrender, and
Dewey began tbe bombardment and
the "Spaniards hoisted a white flag.
General Augustin immediately jumped
into a German launch', which was in
waiting, and went to tbe Kaiserin Au
gusta, which sailed before the bom
bardment was concluded. The bom
bardment occurred on the 13tb,
Department Notified.
.Washington, Aug. 17. The depart
ment of state has just issued the fol
lowing: The following dispatqh has
just been received at the department
of state from Consul Wildman, Hong
Kong:
"Augustin says Dewey ;bombarded
Manila Sunday; oity surrendered un
conditionally. Augustin was taken
by Germans in the launch to the Kai
serin Augusta and brought to Hong
Kong. I credit report."
Tbe informarion contained in Consul
Wildman's brief message aroused in
tense interest, but oreated no surprise
among those officials who road it. For
two or three days news of the fall of
Manila has been expected. The last
dispatches received from Admiral
Dewer and General Merritt indicated
that it was their purpose to force a
surrender of the oity has soon as possi
ble. It is believed that they joined in a
note to General Augustin in demand
ing the surrender of Manila, threaten
ing to make a combined sea and land
attack upon the city unless the de
mand was acoedod to. While no infor
mation other than that received in Con
sul Wildman's dispatch has been re
ceived by the department, it is in a
measure confirmed by brief dispatches
tonight from Madrid.
If the report of General Augustin be
truo, and its accuracy is not questioned
here, the probabilities are that official
dispatches will be received by the gov
ernment in a day or two at the latest.
The flight of General Augustin from
Manila created some amusing comment
tonight. As one official expressed it,
rtAO OF PHILIPPIKK IXSUROENTS.
"Had he maintained his position, hard
as it was, until the arrival of the news
of peace, he would have been a hero;
but he fled, and he now will be branded
as a ooward."
Acknowledged Rt Madrid.
Madrid, Aug. 17. According to La
Corrnspondencia de Espana, the sur
render of Manila occurred after the
last attacks made upon the city.
Skeptical Spaniards.
nong Kong, Aug. 17. The Spanish
consul here bus not sont to Manila the
news that the protocol has been Bigned,
and probably the Spaniards at Manila
will discredit the account to be brought
them by the British steamer Australia,
as she was ohartered by the Americans.
Flag! of Truce.
Guayama, Porto Rico, Aug. 17.
General Brook sent Colonel Richard to
the Spanish lines yesterday under a flag
of truce, with a notification of the sign
ing of the peace protocol. Ho was met
by Commandant Cervera in person.
After the communication had been
read, felicitations and cigars were ex
changed. Flags ot truce are flying
over our outposts. It was suggested
that they be also planted over the Span
ish lines, and thr rtwqestion was accepted.
THE CONTROL OF CUBA.
the Question In Now Receiving Earnest
Conaideratton.
Washington, Aug. 17. The recon
struction of affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico,
ami throughout the Spanish West In
dies, is receiving earnest co&ideration
in official quarters and at the White
House. , Today the president saw a
number of callers in reference to this
reconstruction in ou new insular de
pendencies. . .... .
Major?General Fitzhngh Lee in com
mand of the Seventh army corps at
Jacksonville, came here on a special
telegiaphic summons from Secretary
Alger, and it was with the latter that
he conferred for arj hour with the presi
dent. It is generally expected that
General Lee will , head the military
commission which will ad just affairs in
Cuba, and also he has been strongly
urged, for the governorship of that
island, after tbe functions of that com
mission cease. On both of these points,
however, General Lee asserts he knows
nothing. He admitted, however, that
he had been talking over matters in
Cuba generally. Then he added: . ,
"The first work which will have to
be done in Cuba will be to make ar
rangements by which all the municipal
machinery can be put in operation in
all the towns, and governmental ma
chinery throughout the island... There
will have to be a military control, I
suppose, until such a time as the peo
ple interested can organize, and put
into operation, a government which
should be stable and strong enough to
impartially protect the interests of
Spaniards, Americans, Cubans and the
people of other nationalities now on tbe
island, or who may hereafter go there."
"Is there a pobability of Spanish in
terests suffering there through the
Cubans?"
"The Spanish property-holders,
merchants and all other classes of
Spaniards naturally would unite with all
the best of the conservative inhabitants
for the presevation of the interests of
all the citizens, and I think they will
help the natives and the Americans to
maintain a strong, safe government.
This would be natural, for no olass of
UNCLE SAM'S NEW TERRITORY,
Tbe above map shows the territory tbat haa been, or will undoubtedly be, added to tbe
United States an o result of tbe war with Spain Cuba, Porto Rico, the Island of Guam,
or Quaban, In tbe Ladronea, and a coaling station and port In tbe Philippines,
people would be more interested than
they are in maintaining property and
all other rights.
"The most difficult problem is the
first organization of a preliminary form
of government, as later the island will
be very rapidly Americanized, and all
such questions will take care of them
selves. As to the probability of the
Cubans attaining a stable goverment,
I presume that as soon as possible a
proclamation will be issued, setting
apart a date for the holding of a general
pleotion for a chief executive of the
Island, and for a legislative body, to
which all matters affecting the future
jf the island will be referred.'
Spaniarda Are Leaving.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 17. The
Spanish steamer Isla do Luzon sailed
this morning for Spain, having on
board 2,130 Spanish soldiers. The
steamer Isla de Panay will probably
sail to-morrow and she will be followed
by the De Satrutsetegui. The Monte
video arrived this morning and will
begin loading at once. The embarka
tion of the prisoners is being pushed
with great activity. This is rendered
imperative by their horrible condition.
The mortality is so great in the Span
ish camp, where disease is rampant,
that no longer are the dead buried. A
funeral pile of 10 or 12 bodies is made,
saturated with kerosene and set fire to,
jremating the bodies in the open air.
Colninbue la Blamed.
London, Aug. 17. The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says: The
dominant tone of the press comment is
philosophical resignation. The educat
ed classes are not making any attempt
to find scapegoats or to console them
selves with vituperation of the victori
ous enemy. The colonies, instead of
enriohing, have impoverished the coun
try. Columbus, in discovering the
New World, was not Spain's bene
factor, but her evil genius. Therefore
one leading paper opposes the sugges
tion that his remains should be brought
home from Havana.
American Kioycllat Wlna.
Paris, Aug. 17. C. W. Miller, the
American ovclist, won the 72-hour bi
cycle race today, covering 1,872 kilo
meters; Frederick, the Swiss cyclist,
was second, covering 1,870 kilometers.
Why Blanco Kealgned.
Madrid, Aug. 17. The government
bai received from Captain-General
Blanco a dispatch tendering his resigna
tion. The reason given by General
Blanco for resigning is that he does not
wish to superintend the evacuation of
Cuba. The government is also in
formed that General Augustin, governor-general
of the Philippines, will
leave Manila for Spain by the first
steamer, giving his command to the
second iu rank.
FINAL BATTLE IN PORTO RICO.
Schwan's Forces Were Attacked Sunday
Spaniard Repulsed.
Ponce, Porto Eico, Aug. 17. Gen
eral Sohwan's column was attacked be
fore Mayaguez and Lares, As the
Eleventh ,i infantry, , under Colonel
Burke, was descending tbe valley of
the Rio Grande, they were fired upon
from a hillside by a force of 1,600 Span
ish, who were retreating toward tbe
north. Tbe fire was returned, and the
Spanish were repulsed, with, it is sup
posed, considerable loss.
Colonel Soto, the commander of tbe
Mayaguez district, was wounded, and
EKIO. GESEBAt FBAJTCrS V. GHBEJTB.
was afterwanl overtaken in a wayside
cottage. He was attended by two ser
geants, who surrendered. The Ameri
cans suffered.no loss. The artillery was
not engaged. General Schwan had not
received news of the signing of the pro
tocol, when the action occurred, but
obtained it yesterday afternoon. The
repots from General Miles are meager.
An Unfortunate Belief.
Hong Kong, Aug. 17. Belated mail
information from Manila is to the effect
that there has been renewed activity
on the part of the Spaniards of late,
AS A RESULT OP THE WAR,
due to the belief that American re
sources have been exhausted and that
MoKinley is Buing for peace. Accord
ing to the same authority the insurgents
throughout the island of Viscaya are
reported to have signified their inten
tion of joining Aguinaldo. The Ger
man cruiser Kaiserin Augusta has ar
rived here, having left Manila Satur
day. She reports the situation there
unchanged, but her officers are ex
tremely 'reticent. .
CUBAN ARMY TO DISBAND.
Report That the United State Will Pay
the Men Off.
Santiago de Cuba. Aug. 17. A secret
meeting was held tonight at the palace
between tbe commanding officers of the
American army, and the Cuban leaders.
The strictest secrecy was maintained,
but it can be said with good authority
that General Garcia was present. The
meeting lasted an hour and a half.
The information obtained is to the
effect that the Cuban situation was
thoroughly reviewed, and it was re
solved to disband the Cuban army, and
the United States should pay the men
off. This will involve the expenditure
of $15,000,000, but it is most important
to the prosperity of the island, where
the wealth is almost entirely agricul
tural, nobody daring to cultivate his
lands while tne insurgent bands are in
the field, laiding and burning.
Sntro Waa Insolvent.
San Francisco, Aug. 17. The Even
ing Poet says that the $3,000,000 estate
of the late Adolph Sutro is insolvent,
and that unless the creditors agree to
withdraw their claims for the time be
ing the estate will be hopelessly
swamped. Much of Sutro's property is
mortgaged, and interest and other nec
essary expenditures are eating the estate
up very rapidly. The executors of the
estate say that if time is given them
every poaible demand will be met and
that there will be a large residue for the
heirs. The attorneys for the estate
deny that there is another will, and
say that Mrs. Eluge's claims are
groundless.
Anthracite coal discovered at historic
King's moutain. North Carolina, shows

Monument to Wolfe Tone.
Dublin, Aug. 17. The whole city
was en fete today in connection with
the laying of the foundation stone of
the monument in memory of Wolfe
Tone. Thousand of excursionists were
present and delegates were in attend
ance from the United States, Austra
lia, South Africa, France and Italy.
There was an immense procession to
the site of the monument. Theobold
Wolfe Tone was the real originator of
the Irish movement tbat culminated in
the rebellion of 1798.
A PARTING SHOT
The Havana Batteries
Opened Fire on
the Fleet
SAN FRANCISCO WAS STRUCK
Large Hole Torn in the Crulier'a Stern
No One Aboard Ship Wai Hurt
American Veaael Steamed, Out of
Range aa Rapidly M Posalble.
. Key West, Fla., Aug. 16. The flag
ship San Francisco, the monitor Mian
tonomoh, and tbe .auxiliary yacht Sil
via, were . fired upon by the Havana
batteries shortly before 5 o'clock yester
day morning. One 10 and two 12-inch
shells struck the San Francisco's stern
as she turned to get away out of range,
and tore a hole about a foot in diam
eter, completely wrecking Commodore
Howell's quarters and smashing his
bookcases into fragments. No one was
injured, and, being under orders not to
attack the batteries, the ships departed
as fast as their engines would carry
them. '
The .flagship and the Silvia lay
parallel to each other, not more than
a mile from Morro oastle, and separ
ated from eaoh other by three-eighths
of a mile. Tbe Miantonomoh lay about
three-quarters of a mile to the rear of
the others. All were within range of
the Spanish batteries, and the tempta
tion was too strong for the Spanish to
resist.
The first glimmer of dawn was break
ing through the eastern skies when,
without an instant's warning, the look
out on the flagship saw a jet of smoke
puff from one of Morro's big guns. Al
most before he could pull himself to
gether sufficiently to make a report of
the incident, 10 and 12-inob shells were
screaming all around. The Spaniards
had the range, and apparently were
grimly in earnest in their last efforts
to wreck injury on their too mighty
enemy. Shells fell between the San
Francisco and the Silvia. Some fell
short, a few went over them. The
flagship signalled the Silvia to get out
of range without delay, and both ships
swung around and made for the sea.
It was then that the shell struck the
San Francisco's stern. Commodore
Howell was on deck with Captain
Leary when the shell struck. With
the utmost speed the fleet moved out
about three miles. Here the men or
the flagship patched up the ragged hole
in the vessel's stern. All the shells
fired at the vessel fell around the ships.
One of the Silvia's men stood calmiy
on the deck of the yacht, watch in
hand, and counted tbem.
Morro castle fired several of the mis
siles,, but how many is not known.
The others came from two sand bat
teries near Morro. The firing lasted
20 minutes.
The one-sided engagement had scarce
ly ended when the men of the Silvia
were treated to another surprise, The
little yacht gunboat is manned by the
New York naval militia. Her crew
had barely recovered from the excite
ment when the flagship called the ves
sel over, and Captain Bellers was giveD
a packet of private documents, which
he was ordered to take into Havana
under a flag of truce. The white flag
was hoisted over the ' Silvia, and she
started towards the guns which had
just given her fiuoh noisy greeting. As
the Silvia approached to within a mile
of Morro, the charaoter of the flag float
ing from her foremasi was discerned
and the castle signalled:
"What is your purpose!"
To this the Silvia answered: "We
have papers to deliver."
Morro did not resume the conversa
tion and for some little time the gun
boat rooked on the wateis almost under
the still-emoking cannon of the enemy.
Presently, however, a Spanish gunboat
drew out of the harbor and came close
to the Silvia. It was the Martin y
Pinzon, and carried a much stronger
battery than the American ship, 1'lie
customary formal salutations were ex
changed, and Lieutenant William G.
Ford, the exeoutive officer of the Silvia,
boarded the Pinzon and delivered the
documents.
The ceremony occupied no more
time than the physical aot involved.
The American officer returned to his
ship, and the vessels went on their re
spective ways.
Ban Into a Waihout.
Chioago, Aug. 16. Battery A, Colo
rado light artillery, passed through)
Chicago today on the way to Fort Han
oock, N. Y. The troops arrived over
the Santa Feroad just too late to make
connection with an eastbound traiu.
They weie delayed by an accidont. A
washout occurred near Memo, 111., and
to the speed of the train the men owe
their lives. As the last tourist car
passed over a small oowpit, the roadbed
collapsed and the car plunged from the
i ails. Every man on the train was
awakened, but before it came to a
stop, a guard rail caught the rear truck
of the sleeper and threw it on the
track.
Collided With a Yacht.
Boston, Mass., Aug. 16. The sloop
yacht Leona, with 17 meu aboard,
while anchored outside of Boston light,
was run into by a barge in tow of the
tug' Honeybrook and five men were
swept from the deck by the heavy tow
line. Two of the number, C. W. Sell
man and A. Xordell, were drowned:
j another, A. Caspeison, was killed by
ueing jammed between the tow line
and the deck, while the two others,
Peter Nelson and J. Harkiuson, al
though sustaining injuries, were rescued.
