ill of m Admiral Dewey’s Official Announcement of the Bombardment and Surrender. . ---- : TIE CASUALTIES WERE ROT NUMEROUS. nm American Soldier* Reported Killed Md Forty-Fire Wounded In the As•unit on the Knemy*e Line*—The Fleet Thundered u Solute When Old Glory woe Raised Over Moulin. Washington, Aug. 17. — Admiral Dewey’s official announcement of the bombardment and surrender of Manila has been received as follows: Manila, Aug. 13. To Skcrkta’ry Navy, Washington— Manila surrendered to-day to the American land and naval forces, after a combined attack. A division of the squadron shelled the forts and iatrenchments at Malate, on the south side of the city, driving back the enemy, our army advancing from that side at the same time. The city surrendered about five o’clock, the American flag being hoisted by Lieut. Brumby. About 7,000 prisoners were taken. The squadron had no casualties, none of the vessels were injured. On August 7, Gen. Merritt and I formally demanded the surrender of the city, which the Spanish governor-gen-eral refused. [Signed] Dkwey. Lieut. Brumby is Admiral Dewey's flag lieutenant. As ths Matter Now Stands. Now that the surrender is officially reported, it can be stated that Manila Is being held by virtue of the military occupation and surrender, and not by virtue of the protocol The difference is said to amount to little in practical results, yet, such as it is, all officials agree that the occupation is the result of the combined military and naval operations. According to Admiral Dewey's dispatch, the surrender occurred about 5 p. m. last Saturday. The peace protocol was signed at 1:23 p. in. on Friday. It is said that the difference in time between Manila and Washington is such that the surrender, reckoned on Washington time, would be about twelve hour ahead of the time at Manila, or about 5 a. in., Saturday. In point of actual time, therefore, the peace protocol preceded the actual surrender of Manila by a few hours. But it is a well established rule of military law, accepted the world over, that a peace armistice or cessation of hostilities, does not become binding upon commanding officers until they receive actual notice of it. This rule is expressed in the United States regulations governing armies in Llie field.

The Terms of Surrender. London, Aug. 18.—Following are the terms of surrender at Manila: Capitulation of all the Philippinea Officers, allowed to retain their ■words and personal effects, but not their horses, during their stay in Manila. Prisoners of war surrendering their arms will hare necessary supplies provided from the treasury. When that is exhausted the Americans are to make provision. All public property is surrendered. The future disposition of the Spanish troops is to bo determined by negotiation between the respective governments. Arms may be returned, at Gen. Merritt's discretion. Banks will continue to operate under existing regulations, which are subject to change by the United States government. The commissioners who signed the terms of capitulation are: For America—Gen. Greene, Colonels Whittier and Crowdes and Capt Lawbecton. For Spain—Colonels San Jose Maria Laguen, F-elin Don Carlos Reye and Gen. Don Nicolas de la Pela y Cuellas.

Account of the Battle. New Yore, Aug. 17.—A special dispatch from Manila, August 13, via Hong Kong, to the New York Journal says: Fire American soldiers were killed and about 43 wounded in the capture of Manila. The Stars and Stripes were raised over the city at 5:40 o'clock in the afternoon. In the bay Admiral Dewey's fleet thundered a national salute. A Combined Load mod Notrot Attack. The combined naval and land forces were employed in the capture of the Spanish stronghold of the Philippines. At nine o'clock in the morning the signal to begin firing was set on Ad- j mirat Dewey's flagship. The authorities in the city and the consuls of foreign powers had previ- j ously been notified of the intended bombardment For two hours great shells were thrown.. ’ Attacked the Enemy la Hie Trenches. After the bombardment the troops moved forward to attack the Spaniards in the trenches. There had been no reply to Dewey's bombardment, but the land forces met with a hot reception. I-. the onward rush of the Americans could not be stayed: With a loss of five killed and over two score wounded, they drove back the Spaniards and captured the trenches. The White Flag was Heteied. In a short time the white flag was hoisted bv the Dons and 7.000 soldiers, 13,000 rifles and a great quantity of ammunition were surrendered. The., Spanish loss has not jet beat

ascertained. It is probably several times as large as that of the American forces. Strength of the Spanish Forces. The Spanish forces numbered about 3,000 men, but they were well in* trenched. Nearly 10,000 Americans were engaged in the assault, and their loss, under the circumstance, is considered small. The Colorado troops were the first to stor m the trenches, and everv man was a hero. Aufiutl Took a Snook. When the white flag went up, Capt.Gen. Augusti jumped into a launch from the German cruiser Kaiserein Augusta. The cruiser then left with him on board for Hong Kong. The Filipino# Glad. The Filipinos are glad that the struggle is over. The shops are again open, the blockade has been raised, and things will soon be just as they were before Admiral Dewey came to destroy Spanish rnle here. Augusti Said to Have Loft Aftor tho Surrender. Madrid, Aug. 17.—It is now asserted that Gen. Augusti left Manila after the surrender. The government has received his report giving details as to the surrender, but it is not yet ready to publish it. It is asserted that Gen. Augusti, oh August 7, refused all propositions to surrender. Instructions to the American Commas 1 dors. Washington, Aug. 18.—The two American commanders at Manila, Admiral Dewey and Maj.-Gen. Merritt united in a joint dispatch, which was received here late yesterday evening asking for instructions as to the manner of dealing with the various elements, particularly the insurgents, now that the city was occupied by the American forces.

Instruct lou* Forwarded. After a conference at the White House, in which Secretary Alger and Acting Secretary Allen participated, instructions were sent to the ' two American commanders. The text of request for instructions and of the an* swer was not made public, but Secre* tary Alger summed up the instructions substantially as follows: Instructed to Enforce Law and Order. The instructions are to enforce law and order, and to treat all' law-abiding citizens alike. j The instructions are practically the same as those sent Tuesday night to Gen. Lawton. The latter order specifically stated that the insurgents must recognize the military occupation and authority of the United States and the cessation of hostilities proclaimed by this government. Doubtless tt e same rule is being applied to the insurgents under Aguinaldo, although it was not officially stated that such specific orders were made. Acululdo Nut Mentioued in the 1»1»- # patches. It is said the joint dispatch from Dewey and Merritt did not in terms refer to Aguinaldo nor did the instructions mention the insurgent leader by name. It is well understood, however, that the desire of the American commander was to have instructions on the manner of dealing with the large and menacing forces of insurgents under Aguinaldo who have surrounded Manila for many weeks and who, it is thought, may or have demanded the right to occupy the city with the American soldiers as the Cuban insurgents did at Santiago. No Recognition of the huorgcnM. It had been thought in some quarters here that the showing heretofore made by the insurgents would lead to their receiving a certain amount of recognition in the way of joint action between the United States forces and those of the insurgents, when the city was occupied, but the instructions sent last night are based on occupation by the United States alone, and as a high administration official summed up the situation: “There shall be no joint action except between Merritt and Dewey. They will maintain law and order and will treat insurgents and Spaniards alike, requiring all to observe peace and order.”

No Report from Gen. Merritt. ▲aide from this joint dispatch, the only other word received from Manila during the day was in the brief dispatch from Admiral Dewey announcing the surrender of the city last Saturday. A detailed dispatch from Gen. Merritt was eagerly awaited throughout the day, as it was feared that the sharp engagement of the land forces during the storming of Manila had resulted in some casualties on our side; but no dispatch came from Gen. Merritt up to the close of office hours, except the one in which he joins with Admiral Dewey in asking for instructions. Secretary Alger concluded from this that the casualties could not have been heavy, as he felt sure lien. Merritt would promptly report any considerable loss. There was a bare possibility that a cipher dispatch from Merritt had miscarried. No Roforoneo to tho Gormaa CraUos KaUcrcln Augusta. It was noted that neither the first dispatch of Admiral Dewey nor the joint dispatch of Dewey and Merritt made any reference whatever to the part which the German cruiser Kaiserein Augusta took in removing CaptGen. August! from Msiuila to Hoag Kong. From this the officials believe that the American commanders do not attach serious signi iicance to the course of the German naval authorities The incident continues to cause some irritation here, but it is practically certain that no official cognizance will be taken of it A high official of the naval department said that at most the conduct of the German naval commander was in bad taste There is no disposition in any official quarter at present to carry the incident to the point of considering it a breach of nea trnlity as has been suggested in aooM British newspapers.
