Fierce B
attle at Manila.
The Spaniards Beaten.
THEY TRIED TO SURPRISE OUR TROOPS
Their Loss Will be Over 500, While Ours is
Not Over 30 Killed and Wounded.
Hong Kong, Aug. 9. The German steamer Petrarch, which left Manila Au
gust 0, arrived here today; and brought the first news of the severe engagement
between the Spaniards and'Americans near Manila. The Americans were victo
rious, and lost only 11 men killed and 'tf wounded. The Spanish losses are not
known, but are reported to be heavy. The insurgent forces remained neutral.
The attack was made on the American camp between Cavite and Manila,
during the night of July 31. The Spaniards, who numbered 3000 men, made
several desperate charges upon the American lines, but each time the fire of the
Americans drove them back, and finally broke the Spanish center, causing them
to retreat. Later, however, the Spaniards made another attack, but were again
repulsed, and retreated into the bush, keeping up an incessant fire on the roads
leading to Manila, over which they apparently expected the American forces to
advance.. Some estimates place the Spanish losses at over 500 killed and wounded.
New York, Aug. 9. A copyrighted cablegram from Manila bay, via Hong
Kong, to the Evening World, gives the following particulars regarding the fighting
July 31: . ; f
General Green's force of 4000 men had fteen advaneingtoward Manila and
entrenching. The arrival of the third expedition filled the Spaniards with rage.
They determined to give battle before Camp Dewey could be reinforced. Trenches
extended from the beach 3UQ yards to the left flank of the insurgents.
Sunday was insurgent feast day, and their left flank withdrew, leaving the
American right flank exposed. Companies A and E of the Tenth Pennsylvania
and the Utah battery were ordered to reinforce the right flank. In the midst of a
raging'typhoon, with a tremendous downpour of rain, the enemy's forces, esti
mated at 3000, attempted to surprise the camp. Our pickets were driven in and
the trenches assaulted. The Pennsylvania men stood their ground under a with
ering fire. The First California regiment, with two companies of the Third artil
ery, was sent to reinforce the Pennsylvanians. The enemy was on top of the
trenches when the reinforcements arrived, and never was the discipline of the reg
ulars better demonstrated than by the work of the Third artilery, under Captain
O'Hara. Nothing could be seen but the flashes of Mauser rifles. The men ran
right up to the attacking Spaniards, and mowed them down with regularity.
The Utah battery, Captain Young, covered itself with glory. The men pulled
their guns through the mud axle deep. Two guns were sent around on the flank,
and poured in a destructive enfilading fire.
The enemy was repulsed and retreated in disorder. Our infantry had ex
hausted their ammunition, and did not follow the enemy. Not an inch of ground
was lost, but the scenes in the trenches will never be forgotten.
On the night of August 1 the fighting was renewed, but the enemy had been
taught a lesson, and made the attack at long range with heavy artilery. The Utah
battery replied, and the artilery duel lasted an hour. Fred Springstead, of the
First Colorado, was killed, and others wonnded.
On the night of August 2 the artilery duel was resumed. Two men were
badly wounded, and are this morning reported dead, which brings the total dead
up to 13, with 10 in the hospital mortally wounded.
