Warm Battle
Is On In
Manila
Americans are Attacked-Spaniards Repulsed---American
Loss n; Spanish 500.
HONG KONG, Aug. 9. The first news of a severe en
gagement, was brought today by a German steamer which
left Manila on August 6th. The Spaniards attacked the
Americans near Manila. The Americans were victorious,
and lost only eleven killed and 37 wounded. The Spanish
losses are not known but are reported to be heavy. The in
surgent forces remained neutral.
The attack was made on the American camp between
Cavite and Manila, during the night of July 31st. The
Spaniards, who numbered 3500 men, made several desperate
charges on the American lines, but each time the fire drove
them back, and finally broke the Spanish center, causing
the enemy to retreat.
Later, however, the Spaniards made a second attack,
but were again repulsed and retreated into the bushes, keep
ing up an incessant fire on the roads leading to Manila, over
whicli they apparently expected the American troops to ad
vance.
Some estimates place the Spanish losses at over 500
killed and wounded.
Washington, Aug. 9. A dispatch
from Manila gives the following con
cerning the fight near that place; r.
The advance of the third expedition of
General Green's troops toward Manila
made the Spaniards wild, and, after
having 4000 of his men tormenting
them for some time, they determined to
fight. For 300 yards trenches extended
to the left flank of the insurgents. Ab
Sunday was a least day for the insur
gents, the left flank withdrew and the
AriiericarFright flank was exposed.
In the midst of a tremendous down
pour ot rain, the enemy's force, esti
mated at 300, attempted to surprise the
camp. Oar pickets were driven in and
the trenches assaulted. The Pennsyl
vania men stood their ground nnder a
withering fire, until the First California
regiment, with two companies of the
Third artillery, reinforced them.
The enemy was on top of the trenches
when the reinforcements arrived, and
when the Third artillery under Captain
O'Hara got to work nothing could be
seen but the flashes of Masuer rifles.
The men ran right up to the attacking
Spaniards and moved them down.
The men of the Utah battery, Captain
Young, pulled their guns through the
mud axle deep, and did grand work.
Two guns in the flack poured in a de
structive fire. Our infantry had ex
hausted its ammunition, but the enemy
was repulsed, so was not followed.
On the night of August 1st the enemy
made the attack at long range with
heavy artillery. The Utah battery re
plied, and the artillery duel lasted an
hour. Fred Springstead, of the First
Colorado, was killed, and others
wounded.
On the night of August 2d the artillery
duel was renewed. Two men were bad-
I ly wounded, and are this morning re
ported dead, which brings the total dead
up to 13, with 10 in the hospital mor
tally hurt.
GEN. MERRIT
REACHES CAVITE
Arrived With Three Transports Escort
ed By the Monterey.
San Francisco, Aug. 9. A special to
the Call from Cavite, dated August 6th,
says :
The three transports -which sailed
from San Francisco with General Mer
ntt, but which were delayed at Honolu
In, arrived today. The monitor Monte
rey also arrived.
ITS DISPOSITION
IN DOUBT
How Will Adolph Sutro's Fortune Be
Disposed Of? The Lawyers Will
Probably Get More Than Their
Share.
San Fbancisco, Aug. 9. The final dis
position of the fortune left by the late
Adolph Sutro is still in doubt. When
Dr. Emma Merritt was appointed guar
dian of her father last February the
Sutro estate was appraised at $2,849,572.
Its real value, however, is believed to be
much more. It is said that the sons
and daughters will share equally in its
distribution.
It had long been ex-Mayor Sutro's
desire and intention to give the Sutro
Heights property and the Sutro library
to the people of San Francisco. Whether
the conditions of his illness prevented
him from carrying out his plan is yet to
be known.
DOLE TO BE
THE GOVERNOR
Senator Morgan, of the Commission,
Says Hawaii Is to Have the For
mer President as Governor.
San Fbancisco, Aug. 9. Senator Mor
gan, of the Hawaiian commission, is
quoted by the Call as saying that ex
President Dole will be the first governor
of Hawaii, and not Minister Sewall, as
recently reported. The senator added
that he bad the best of reasons for be
lieving that Admiral Miller was carrying
Dole's commission to the island. -

ARRAIGNMENT
OF SAMPSON
Chaplain Mclntire Makes a Fearless
Denunciation of the Admiral Also
AttacksN'Fighting Bob" Evans.
Denver, Colo., Aug. 9. In. a lecture
delivered here, Chaplain Mclntyre, of
the battle-ship Oregon, spoke as follows
of Admiral Sampson's report of the
battle with Cervera's fleet:
"Sampson reported himself within
four miles of the Crietobal Colon when
she pulled down her flags. He did not
get a ehare of the prize money, for the
ship must be within four miles to share
in the money. Sampson will therefore
get $10,000 of the prize money, while
Captain Clark," whr fought with the
Oregon as never a man fought with a
ship before, will get only $500, and you
who have had just exactly as much to do
with the battle as Sampson will not get
a cent."
Mclntyre further said that when the
Spanish 6hips ran out of the harbor
the Iowa was within two miles
of them and the Oregon about three
miles. The Oregon, he said, tore up to
the front like a shot and met the Iowa
moving to the rear, where, he added,
Evans kept her throughout the battle.
The chaplain offered no explanation of
this alleged maneuver of the Iowa.
Mclntyre boldly stated that the reason
eastern-made ships did not come up to
expectations was that the contractors
who made them got the contracts
through political pulls, and did cot care
how much they cheated the government.
The Oregon was the only one made hon
estly, he added.

WAsniNOTON.'Aug. 9. The secretary
of war has stopped' the dispatch of fur

eral Miles reported this morning that
the force' -I his command was ample for
completing the conquest of the island.
This leaves all of Gen. Wade's provis
ional corps ot 18 regiments still in the
United States. It is believed all of Wil

already sailed, and they may be allowed
to proceed.

-New York, Aug. 9. A epecial to the
Tribune from Washington says :
The United States has magnanimously
offered to parole the 1 ,300 Spanish naval
prisoners taken at the destruction of
Admiral Cervera's fleet, whenever Spain
is ready to repatriate them. With the
exception of the officers, who are en
joying American hospitality within the
limits of Annapolis, the bulk of these
prisoners are confined to the naval sta
tion at Portsmouth, where they have
the liberty of a large, picturesque lBland
and are comfortably quartered end fed
in temporary buildings erected for their
use. The offer of this government was
made regardless of the approaching cul
mination of peace negotiations and
simply with a view of sending a larger
number of national guests, who had
considerably overstayed their welcome
and become burdensome upon the host.
These Spaniards have suffered scarce
ly any of the restraints usually imposed
upon prisoners of war, but have been
cared for as tenderly as though they
were Americans.
Sjck Spaniards Sent Back.
Washington, Aug- 9. The first dis
patch from Santiago by Adjutant-General
Corbin says the Lycante is now

is to carry 1000. The Spanish ship will

Deafness Cannot beiCured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation" can betaken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition, of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.
