How UnJer Protection of Americans
Population of Manila Terror-stricken
- Plight of
Spanish Residents-
PORT TOWNSEND, Jun
According to advice brought
from Japan by the steamship
Columbia, which arrived her
last night, considerable Indignation
prevails among the American sailor
and officers of the fleet at Manila over
the treatment of the captain of the
Spanish gunboat Callao, which sailed
Into Manila bay about a week after
the battle and was captured by pw-
ey's fleet. J
The Spaniards claim he showed cow
ardice In not returning the fire of the
Americans. After giving him a Span
ish court martial he was sentenced to
be shot, but Admiral Dewey came to
his rescue and took him under tho
protection of the American govern
ment '
Hundreds of people in Manila are us
ing every effort to leave and are offer
Ing $M0 and 1000 for transportation out.
As the time draws near for the ar
rival of the United Slates soldiers they
are becoming more restless. Another
source of anxiety Is In tho case of tho
bombardment of Manila what tho
Spaniards will do with their women,
and children, as they cannot bo sent
to the Interior, slnco they would bo
come the prey of the rebels. It 1
stated an, appeal will be made to tho
British consul to make arrangements
for their removal In case of bombard
ment. Since entering Manila bay the Ameri
can fleet has been unable to obtain
fresh provisions and the men havo
been living on salt fare. Notwithstand
ing this, there Is no sickness among
the crews and all are patiently waiting
for orders to tuke possession of Ma
nila. The Spanish soldiers are anx
ious to meet the American troops In
battle. They are well armed with
Mauser rifles, and Captain General
Augustl says everyone will fight with
desperation to maintain the honor of
Spain.
