TRENCHES STORMED AND WON Those Within the Walls Attempted No Resistance. THE HUMANE CAPTORS A dispatch from Hong Kong, dated yes- terday, states: Admiral Dew2y gave Gen. Augusti an heur in which to surrender, at the time of the last demand, made on Saturday. Gen. Augusti refused to comply. Tke bombardment, which began at 9:30 @.m., was continued for two hours, and then the Americans stormed the trenches, sweeping all before them. Thos: within the walls attempted no re- sistan The ist Colorado Volunteers stormed th2 outer trenches and drove the Spaniards into the second line of defenses. Then the American troops swept on, driv- ing all the Spaniards into ‘the inner fortif cations, where the Spanish commander, sceing that further resistance was useless, hoisted the white flay and surrendered. The losses, American and Spanish, are not yet known. The Spaniards in the trenches probably numbered 3,000 men. Th2 American attacking feree numbered 10,000, and the Americans were better armed, bet- ter trained and in better condition. The Warships Engaged. The foreign fleets watched the bombard- ment with acute interest. ‘The American warships engaged were the Olympia, P2trel, Raleigh, McCulloch, Bos- Charleston and Baltimor aniards assert that the fire of the ans for the most part fell short, the The S Ameri only effective fire being from a small gun- beat armed with quick-riring guns that was close in shore. It is also assrted by the Spaniards that “the Americans lost heavily in the storming, owing to the faulty construction of their intrenchments, which the Spaniards could command from the heights, and upon which they poured a galling fire. The Spanish trenches extended around Manila at a distanc> of from two to four miles from the walled city, forming a cir- cle ten miles in circumference, and it was impossibl Spaniards say, to hold so long a line against the American attack. Admiral Dew2y and Gen. Merritt, it is reported, had issued orders to spare all ex- cept armed defenses of the city, and con- sequently the town is understood to have been but little damaged. Some street fight- ing between the insurgents and the Span- iards occurred on the outskirts, but order prevailed within the walled section. The American version of the dattl is not yet obtainable. Gen. Augus‘i, former cap- tain general of the Philippines, will siart for Madrid tomorrow by the German mail steamer. The Battle. ‘orrespondent of the London telegraphing Saturday, The Man Datly Telegraph, ‘Nothing could be more humane than the Americans’ capture of the town. Gen. Mer- ritt and Admiral Dewey's plan was to spare every object but the armed defenses and the trenches. Apparently the American losses were extremely small. The Spanish intrenchments varied in point of distance from two to four miles from the center of old Manila. ling this long line of at least ten miles were not over, and probably under, 5,000 Spanish regular troops, volunteers and natives. About half that number were in hospital. The attacking force numbered from 10,000 to 20,000 natives and 10,000 Americars, on shore and aboard the fleet. 3 antage was on the side of the attack. The American field guns threw heavier metal and had longer range than the Spanish, the marksmanship of the United States gunners was much superior to that of the Spaniards, and the men were tronger and in better condition. The are a small race compared with onents, and worn out by a hundred days’ siege, and disappointed by the failure to arrive of the promised Span- ish relief squadron, they had lost heart. It was a hopeless struggle. Again the Olympia. “Looking over the bay it was curious to notice the foreign fleets arranged them- selves according to their sympathies. The English and Japanese were near the Amer- icans, and the Germans and French on the te sdes of the bay, north of the The British cruiser Immor- er consorts kept fairly near the Ameri ‘The attacking squadron formed in line between Malate and old Ma- nila, with the Concord watching the forts at the mouth of the Pasig. The American fieet lay outside the breakwater. “The Olympia fired the first shot at 9:40 o'clock, aad @ fairly continuous, but by no means furious, cannonade was kept up un- til 11:20 o'clock. By that time the Malate fort was silenced, and the American troops then stormed the intrenchments. The Span- jards who were in the earthworks tell me that the quick-tiring guns of the little gun- boat Rapido, which lay close to the shore, were far more terrible in their effects than Was the raking fire of the sutps. Resistance Impossible. “Resistance to the American attack was impossible. The Ist Colorado Regiment was the earliest to charge the Spaniards, who retired to the second linc, but, soon outnumbered, they were forced into the old city. A part of Malate suffered severely from the bombardment. The vaunted in- tramures defenses were not tried. “The Spanish commander, convinced that further rr e was hopeless, hoisted a white flag at 11:30 o'clock, and the order to cease firing was immediately issued in the center of the town, but in the outskirts street fighting continued for some time af- terward b: tween the rebels and Spaniards. ‘The only fear felt in the city is in re- gard to the conduct of insurgents. As I write this in the house of the German con- sul a brisk fusillade is going on between the combatants, and musketry fire is rat- tling all around.” Other Conquests Planned. Other advices from Kong Hong under yesterday's date say: Consul General Wildman today received a report from Admiral Dewey saying that it was intended after the capture of Maniia to dispate® cruisers on August 14 to Loilo and Cebu to accept the surrender of those s, and dlso to send cruisers to Port . in Talawan, to capture the Span- oats hiding there.

The Hong Kong correspondent of the London Times, issued this morning, com- menting upon the reticence of the officers and crew of the Kaiserin Augusta, says: “The curious attitude of the Germans has provoked a deal of feeling here, and some suspicion as to the real object of their se- cretiveness. The practice hitherto has been for cruisers leaving Manila, of whatever nationality, to bring the mails of every na- tionality represented at Manila. The Kaiserin Augusta brought only German mail. “No consistent story of the fight has ar- rived, but it appears that on Saturday morning the Spaniards refused to surren- der. At 10 o'clock Admiral Dewey took the squadron over from Cavite to the front of the city. At the same time the American troops advanced to attack the Spanish trenches at Malate. A fierce struggle en- sued, lasting over two hours. The ships reduced the forts, while the troops carried the trenches and forced the Spaniards back into the walled city, where the Spaniards surrendered. “Governor General August! and his fami- ly, by prearrangement, were taken on board the German cruiser, which steamed at a speed of seventeen knots to Hong Kong. It is supposed that the land forces on both sides suffered heavily. “An American cruiser, with dispatches, is expected tomorrow. Madrid is Consoled. Madrid advices, dated yesterday, are to the effect: The government does not think the United States will try to make capital out of the fall of Manila, but the papers express much anxiety regarding that point. The Span- jards are pleased with the fact that Ad- miral Dewey excluded the insurgents from Manila and are hopeful that the friction thus still indicated will weigh with the United States in the settlement of the Phil- ippine problem. It is now known, from semi-official sources, that the government knew yester- day that Manila capitulated on Saturday after General Jaudemes had taken over the command from General Augusti and the latter had been authorized to quit his post and to embark on a foreign warship for Hong Kong. Manila apparently capitulated because of lack of food, the population and garrison haying suffered the greatest privations. ——_—_- e+ __ : WORK OF THE RED CROSS, Supplies to Sick in Hospitals and Aboard Trains. ‘The American National Red Cross So- clety has been busily engaged during the past week in furnishing needed supplies and Gelicacies* tu the several army hos- pitals near Washington. Washington bar- racks has been supplied with articles of underclothing, pajamas, hospital shirts, socks, slippers, towels, handkerchiefs, cor- dials, proprietary medicines, jellies, pre- serves, fruit and food delicacies for the convalescents, and the hospital furnished with 500 pounds of ice per day and twenty gallons of milk additional per day. Pack- ages of tobacco and plpes have been dis- tributed. The Red Cross has sought to aid in the care for the convalescents, not only in this city, but at Fort Myer, Dunn Lor- ing, Camp Alger, Bristow, Thoroughfare Gap, Fort Washington and Point Sheridan, as well as filling emergency calls for hos- Pitals in the south and at the front. George C. Lewis, the Red Cross representative, will go with the troops to Middletown to establish the Red Cross sup- ply tent. When this is done Capt. Lewis’ orders are to return to Dunn Loring to keep up supplies at that place. ‘The Mid- dletown camp will be then looked after by the New York office of the Red Cross. Amorg the supplies furnished Fort Myer have been ice caps, air cushions, graduat- measuring glisses, Hunyadi water, vichy, wines and panopepton and proprie- tary and tonic preparations. One of the oteworthy contributions lately was of x10 palm leaf fans from Mrs. J. Addison Porter, who, having been on the field her- self, knows the value of a fan in the field hospitals. There was also a donation of many small boxes, 1eatly tied with ribbons, and containing comfort powder, for thé men en route, sent by the “Ministering Circle,” King’s Daughters, and quantities of tea and needed supplies from Mrs. Bruce for the diet kitchen at Dunn Loring. Under the direction of Mrs. James Tan- ner the Red Cross has established at 909, G16 and 634 Maryland avenue southwest rooms for furnishing coffee, milk, lemon- ade and bread and butter to the soldiers, both sick and well, aboard the trains on the railroad siding who are en route from the south to Montauk Point, The trains wait on the railroad sidings at Maryland avenue. a Wise father—“No, my son, never put off till tomorrow what can be done today.

News, A TALK WITH CARRANZA. The Spanish Spy’s Criticisms of America’s Fight Against Spain. MONTREAL, Que., August 17.—Lieuten- ant CarrAnza, who sailed in the steamship Scotsman for Liverpool on Saturday, gave the Associated Press correspondent an In- terview on the way down the river. He said that he had never disregarded Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s invitation to leave Can- ada, for the simple reason that he had never received it, and in this connection again declared that certain paragraphs in the letter taken from his room were manu- factured in Washington in order to get him expelled from Canada. During his absence from Montreal, he said, he had been traveling about Canada enjoying himself, and he had twice been in the United States. On his second trip, he said, he felt disposed to go to Washington and call on Chief Wilkie, who had inti- mated to his friends in Montreal that he was willing to pay a good price to learn where he was. Concerning the conditions of peace, he declared that it would be impossible to find in history, except in bararous times, harder conditions. His Denunclation. “It is spoliation only to be compared with the dismemberment of Poland. The Amer- icans, who went into this war with the pro- testing cry of humanity on their lips, now throw away their mask of hypocrisy, and, by reason of their strength, take all they want; and the rest of Europe, to thelr shame be it said, quietly allow General Shafter, he declares, would never have captured Santiago but for the assist- ance of the Cuban insurgents, who have rendered him invaluable service by stop- ping Santiago's supplies. The Americans had yet to find, he remarked, what a good- for-nothing fellow the Cuban insurgent w When asked his views about the naval and military operations of the war, Lieu- tenant Carranza said he could only say they had been conducted by mere chance. As for the mihery operations, the Span- iards were always outnumbered, he said. “We have not seen any great generalship or splendid exploits of bravery the Amer- icans boast so rauch about, but only the natural valor displayed by all soldiers. “As regards the navy,” he continued, “the only notable thing has been the sink= ing of the Merrimac. This was a beautiful and glorious exploit, and the United States may well be proud’ of Lieut. Hobson and his brave men. The Manila Battle. “As regards the battle of Santiago, I can orly say that two American battle ships were ore than a match for the four Span- ish cruisers, The battle of Manila has nothing very particular about it in the way of daring. It is very easy to go inside the bay of Manila, with a very wide and deep entrance. Commcdore Dewey knew perfect- ly well there were no torpedoes or good guns at Corrigedor (at the entrance to the bay, nor yet in Cavite), and there are no shoals in the harbor which might endanger any of his ships. He knew the little value of the ships under Admiral Montijo, and placed his squadron at a long distance and began to fight. “As regards the bravery of American sailors, they are equal to the sailors of any other navy in thewerld, but in this war it has not really béen‘(put to the test, as they have had weaker ships and guns to contend with. ah ss “As to the challenges to Capt.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. On Board the United States Cruiser Brooklyn, Guantaramo Bay, August 11.— The dreary length of time that Uncle Sam’s “Quaker-colored” war fleet has sp2nt in this bay, awaiting the outcome of the peace negotiations, has given everybody, and especially officers, who chafe under the in- action, time to reflect upon more peaceful things than shooting the enemy’s vessels into steel fragments. ‘The officers of the NorthAtlantic squadron are becoming enthusiastic over the desira- bility of the United States holding this bay as a permanent naval base. It is generally agreed that on our own southern coast and in all the West Indies there is not an anchorage that can compare with this one. Here is a bay with a soft bottom in which an anchor finds a good hold, thus przventing chains fouling. The Entrance. Th2re is a splendid entrance, fully a mile broad, between the hills that protect it, and with the dangerous West Indian reef minimized as to its destructive tendencies by being located only on one side, to the west. The hills at the entrance are high enough for all purposes, such as the plac- ing of light houses and the =rection of earthwork fortifications. With lights at the entrance, there would be no danger in entering the harbor at night, and, indeed, without such a guide, the big trans-Amer: can liners came in saf2ly the other night. The entrance could easily be mined for protection, and at short notice. Once inside the harbor, its splendid facili- ties are immediately visible. It is a broad expanse of water of great depth and ex- tending north into the island for six miles. Of course the extreme depth of forty-two feet does not prevail over the entire length of the harbor, but at this writing there are at least twenty large vessels anchored in the deep and well-sheltered portion of the bay, and as many more could find good anchorage. The survey made by Captain Sumner of the cruiser Columbia, which was stopped ini 1895 by the Spanish government, shows that there are about two and a half square miles of anchorage of a depth of forty-five feet or thereabouts and far enough in- side to be protected from any wind that may blow. Then there are about two square miles of anchorage for vessels drawing twenty-four feet or less. Good Land Points. In other words, the great battle ships Iowa, Texas, Indiana, Oregon and Massa- chusetts and the cruisers New York and Breoklyn could be anchored in the first place, while the entire remainder of the American navy could rest further up the bay. Torpedo boats and small gunboats and converted yachts could move in any portion of the immense bay. There are good land points on small bays, where dry docks could be constructed and where coaling facilities could be estab- liske@. Fresh water is obtainable at two places—the mouth of the Guantanamo riv- er, a mile from the entrance, and the movth of the Caymanes river, six miles up the bey. ‘The remarkably healthy character of the place, considering the general superstitions abcut the unhealthiness of the whole isl- and, is demonstrated in the entire absence of sickness among the marines stationed there. With proper sanitary precautions there necd be no fear of sickness, and it is | auction SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c. Today. James W.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A Transvaal doctor is credited with the discovery of a new curative treatment. He asserts that he can cure persons of small- pox, fevers, diphtheria, and many other maladies by simply wrapping them in milk sheets. The patient is laid on a mattress covered with blankets, and is packed in a sheet just large enough to envelop the bedy. The sheet has been saturated in a pint and a half of warm milk, and is ap- plied to the body without wringing. After lying still for an hour thus swathed, the patient is sponged with warm water, or put into a warm bath for a few moments to re- move the milk. The treatment is based on the germ-absorbing power of milk, and the idea of it is said to have been suggested by the fact that milk absorbs poisonous germs. from @ bucket in which it has been stand- STREET, OPPOSITE THE NEW LIBRARY BUILDING.
