FIGHT OF AUGUST 13 DESCRIBED Gallantry of Volunteers From the West. ONLY FIVE MEN KILLED The reports of Gen. Anderson and Gn. MacArthur on the part taken by their com- mands in the capture and occupation of Manila were made public today. Gen, An- derson had charg: cf the first expedition atd was in command of the military forces in the Philippines until the arrival of Gen. Merritt. ‘On the Ist day of July,” says Gen. An- derson, “I had an interview with the in- surgent chief, Aguinaldo, and learned from him that ths Spanish forces had withdrawn, driven back by his army, as he claimed, to a line of defense immediately around the city and its suburbs. He estimated the Spanish forces at about 14,000 men and his own at about the same number, He did not seem pleased at the incoming of our land ferces, hoping, as I believe, that he could take the city with his own army, with the tion of the American flzet. eving that, however successful the Insurgents may have been in guerrilla war- fare against the Spaniards, they could not carry their lines by assault or reduce the city by siege, and suspecting, further, that a hearty and effective co-operation could not be expected, I had at once a se. ries of r2conaissances made to exactly lo- cate the enem lines of defense and to ascertain their strength. * . . * * . . ‘As I did not go in person to Camp Dewey until 11 a.m. on the loth of July, I will not attempt to report the operations in the trenches and several combats between our troops and the enemy after our occupation, by mutual agreement, of the left section of u insurgents’ line, extending from the Pasay road to the beach. These conflicts began on the night of July 31, as soon as the enemy had realizd that we had taken the places of the Filipnos, and begun a system of earthwor to the front of their oid line. It may have been merely coinci- dent, but these attacks and sorties began at the time the captain general of Manila was relieved by his second in command. “For more than six weeks the insurgents had kept up a bickering infantry fire on the Spanish trenches, firing occasionally some old siege pieces captured by Admiral Dewey at Cavite and given to Aguinaldo. These combats were never serious, and the Spaniards, so far as I know, made no sor- ties upon them, But there fs no doubt of the fact that the Spaniards attacked our linas with force and vindictiveness, until they were informed that the bringing on of a general engagement would lead to a bom- bardment of the city. After this there was for several days a tacit suspension of hos- tllities.” The Fight of August 13. Gen. Anderson describes the military preparations for the attack on Manila, and then speaks of the battle of August 13 as follows: “On the morning of the 13th all parts of the division w in the positions desig- nated in my ¢ pt that the lead- ing battalion of the re ve, instead of tak- post W) yards ar of the cro: 1 to Pasay, had jeld abreast of the The other battalions of the re- serve moved up proportionally, and thus the whole resery under the fire zone, Lut as neither shells nor bullets fell among them T did not move them bacl “Field telegraph stations were establish- ed at Gen. MacArthur's headquarters, at the left of the intrenchments of the 2d gade on the beach, at the reserve near the Pasay road, and near the hospital in the camp. “The fleet opened fire at 9:30 a.m. The first sho fell short, but the range was soon found. and then the fire became evi- dently effective. I at once telegraphed Gen. MacArthur to open on block house No. 14 and begin his attack. At the same time seven of the guns of the Utah batteries opened fire on the enemy’s works in front of the 2d Brigade, and two guns on the right of this brigade opened an oblique fire toward block house No. 14. ‘Riding down to the beach, I saw two of our lighter draft vessels approach and open cr th: Polvorir with rapic . and observed at the same time s mn of the 24 Brigade start up the I ordered the Ist Ca‘sfornia, which was the eselits ne regiment of the re e, to go forward report to Gen. Greene. Going to the serve telegraph, I received a message from MacArth that his fire on the blockhouse was effe . but that he was enfiladed from the right. I knew from this that he wished to push the insurgents aside and put in the Astor Battery. I then author- ized him to attack, which he did, and, soon after, the 23d Infantry and the 13th Minne- sota carried the advance line of the enemy in the most gallant manner, the one gun of the Utah Batteryeand the Astor Battery lending most effectiv» assistance. in the merrtime the Colorado regiment bad charged and carried the right of the enemy's sine, and the 18th Regular Infan. ond the 3d Heavy (Regular) Artillery, i s infantry,,had advanced and pass- the enemy's works in their front Without opposition. Tne reserve ¥ dered forward to follow the 2d Brigad a battery of Hotchkiss guns was directed to follow the 18th Infantry. Going to-the telegraph station on the left of our line on the beach, I found the operator starting forwar] in the rear of the ist California, and I moved forward until the instrumen? was established in the first hous Ma- late. The first ticking of the sounder in- formed me that Gen. MacArthur was heav- ily engaged at a second ine of defense near Singalong. The White Flag. “It was evident that the best way to assist him was to press our success on the left. I therefore directed Gen. Greene to connect, if possible, with Gen. MacArthur by sending a regiment to the right. But the enemy seemed determined for a time to give us a street fight, and the Colorado and California regiments were the only ones ailable. At this juncture the 18th Infan- and the Hotchkiss battery appeared to be stopped by a broken pler of a bridge, but the engineer company brought forward a portable bridge, and in a few minutes these organizations pressed forward through the Malata-Ermita redoubts. Soon the men from. Nebraska and Wyoming came on shouting, for the white flag could now be seen on the sea front, yet the firing did not cease, and the Spanish soldiers at the front did not seem to be notified of the surren- der. In the meantime the reserve had been ordered forward, except one regiment, which was ordered to remain in the 2d Brigade trenches. The seven Utah guns were also ordered to the front, one infantry battalion being directed to assist the men of the batteries in hauling the guns by hand. “The field telegraph wires, extending in a wide circuit to the extreme right, for a time gave discouraging reports. The front Was contracted, the enemy intrenched and the thimber thick on both sides of the road. Only two regiments could be put on the firing line. The 14th Infantry was brought forward, but could not fire a shot. Under these circumstances I telegraphed MacAr- thur to countermarch and come to Malata by way of Greene's Intrenchments and the beach. This was at + p.m., but soon after I learned that MacArthur was too tar committed to retire. The guns of the Astor Battery had been dragged to the front only after the utmost exertions, and were about being put into battery. At the same time I received a telegram stating that the insurgents were threatening to cross the bamboo bridge on-our right; and to prevent this and guard our ammunition at Pasay, I ordered an Idaho battalion to that point. It was evidently injudicious under these circumstances to withdraw the ist Brigade, so the order was counter- manded and a dispatch sent announcing our success on the left. “In answer, the report came that Singa- long had been carried and that the bri- gade was advancing on Paco. At this peint it was subsequently met by one of my aids and marched down to the Cuarte) de Malata by the Calzada de Paca. I had gone in the meantime to the south bridge of the walled city, and learning that the 2d Oregon was Within the walls, and the Col. Whittier was dngeonference with the Spanish commandant directed Gen. Greene to proceed at once with his brigade to the north side of the Pasig, retaining only the Wyoming battalion to remain with me to keep up the connection between the two brigades. Coof\gnfi Brave. “A remarkable jincident of the day was the experience of Uept. Stephen O'Connor of the 23d Infantry. With a detachment of fifteen skirmishers he separated from is regiment and brigfide at blockhouse No. 14, striking a roafiy pkobably in rear of the enemy, marched finto[the city without op- pesition until he Fama to the Calle Real in Malata. Along this street he had some un- important street fighting until he came to the Paseo de ia Calpada, where. learning that negotiations wete going on for a sur- render, he took [pqst mt the bridge of the north sally port, and the whole outlying Spantsh force south of the Pasig passed by this small detachment in hurrying in, in- tramuros. Capt. O'Connor deserves réecog- nition for the coolness and bravery dis- played in this remarkable adventure. ‘Our loss in the 1st Brigade was 3 officers wounded, 4 enlisted men killed and 35 younded. The loss in the 2d Brigade was 1 enlisted maa Killed and 5 wounded, mak- ing a total of 5 killed and 48 wounded. “The antecedent Icss in the trenches was 14 killed and 60 wounded, making a total of 122 casualties in the taking of Manila. This is.on}y part-of the price we have paid wind gre paying for this success, for men are dying daily in our hospitals from dis- ease contracted from exposure in camp and trenches. All hardships and privations have been borne by our soldiers with re- imarkable patience and cheerfulness. The ppposiion we met in battle was not suffi- cent to test the bravery of our soldiers, but all showed biavery and dash. The Icsses show that the leading regiments cf the Ist Brigade—isth Minnesota, 234 In- fantry and the Astor Battery—met the mcst serious opposition and deserve credit for their success. The Colorado, California and Oregon Regiments, the regulars and all the batterles of the 24 Brigade showed such zeal that it seems a pity that they did not meet foemen worthy of their steel. “My staff officers were active, zealous ard intelligent in the performance of their duties, and the men and officers of the entire division showed the best qualities of American soldiers. Gen, MacArthur's Report. Gen. MacArthur's report goes over pretty much the same line as that of Gen, Ander- son and summarizes the salient points of the action as follow “The advance party, consisting of men of the Minnesota regiment, reinforced by vol- unteers from the Astor Batiery, led by Lieut. March, and Capt. Sawtelle of the brigade staff, as an individual volunteer, reached a point within less than yards of the blockhouse, but was obli to retire to the latersecting road in the lage, at which point a hasty work wa provised and occupied by a firing line of about fifteen men. Aside from coi picuous individual actions in the first rush, the well- regulated conduct of this firing line was the marked feature of the contest, and it is pro- posed, if possible, to ascertain the names of the men engaged, with a view to recom- mend them for special distinction. “The main body of the fighting Hne con- sisted of Company C, 23d Infantry; Com- panies C, E, G, H, K and L, 13th Minnesota, and the Astor Battery, Gallantry of Many. “The combat of Singalong can hardly be classified as a great snilitary event, but the involved terrain and the prolonged resist- ance created avery trying situation, and afforded an unusual scope for the display of military qualities by a large number of Individuals. Tha invincible composure of Colonel Ovenshi pate an exposure in dangerous space Yor ore than an hour was conspicuous av@ wWery inspiring to the troops; and the efficient manner in which he took advanta¥e of opportunities as they arose during the varying aspecis of the fight was of great practical value in de- termining the result. The cool, determined and ined efforts of Colonel Reeve of the h Minnesota contributed very ma- terially to the maintenance of the discipline and marked efficiency of his regiment. “The brilliantananner in which Lieuten- ant March acoapted and discharged the responsible an@®édangerous duties of the day, and the pertinacity with which, assist- ed by his officess and men, he carried his guns over all déstacles to’ the very front of the giring line, was an exceptional dis- play of warlikexskiil and good judgment, indicating the exibtence of many of the best qualifications for high command in battle. “The gallant manner in which Captain Sawtelle, brigade quartermaster, volun- teered to foin the advance party in the rush; volunteered to command a firing line, for a time without an officer, and again volunteered to lead a scout to ascertain the presence or absence of the enemy in the blockhouse, was a fine display of personal interpidity. “The efficient, fearless and_ intelligent manner in which Lieutenant Kernan, 21st United States Infantry, acting assistant ad- jutant general of the brigade, and Second Lieutenant Whitworth, 18th United States Infantry, aid, executed a series of danger- ous and difficult orders, was a fine exempli- fication of staff work under fire. he splendid bravery of Captains Bjorn- stad and Seebach, and Lieutenant Lackore of the hi Minnesota, all wounded, and, finally, the Work of the soldiers of the first firing ‘Une, as previewsly referred to, all Went to make wp'a rapid succession of in- dividual actions ofamusual merit. “Acting Assistant Surgeon F. H. Titus established a first-aid hospital in the vil- lage church, and deserves great credit for the manner in which he came to the front with a detachment of the hospital corps through a heavy indirect fire, and the effi- cient manner in which he rendered services to the wounded.” -+ ee TELEGRAPH LINIZ IN CUBA, It Will Cover a Distance of 5: —Educational Statisties. Advices yesterday from Santiago de Cuba state: } Capt. Brady of the Urited Sates signal service has been ordered to begin the con- struction of an overland telegraph line 320 miles In length, from Guantanamo, via San- Uago de Cuba and Manzinillo. The line is to be used princtpally fot the transmission of government dispatch«s, although com- mercial messages will be accepted. The present cost of transmission of messages by telegraph from Guant inamo to Santiago is 20 cents a word up to thirty words and for each additional word. tional statistics prepared by order of Gen. Wood show that 41 per cent of the white population and 1:1 per cent of the colored people are able co read and write. Schools will be opened on Monday, the at- tendance upon which will be compulsory. English wili be taught. Thirty teachers, at a salary of $60 a month each, and a super- intendent at $125 a monta, will be engaged. Gen. Wood requests that charitable per- sons in America be advised that no more men’s clothing is needed, but that calico and needles and thread for the women and supplies of quinine, bismuth and iron for the sick are required. He would Mke ithe, Agricultural Depart- ment and charitablé'societies to send con- signments of seeds suitable for planting in the climate, which would be of incalculable advantage to the small farmers. The miners are returning to work, and Gen. Wood says there is absolutely no starvation in the province of Santiago. Much gratification is expressed over the law-abiding nature of the people in the Province. ‘There has been no murder since the occupation by the Americans, and but few crimes, all of a petty nature, have been committed. ——4 + +—___ Aecepted by Gold Democrats.

Riotous Scene in the Union Square Hotel—Elliot Danforth Also on the List of Nominees. From the New York Tribune, Today. Henry George, son of the late sing’e-tax leader, was last night nominated for gov err by the nominating committee ar pointea last Tuesday by the convention of the Chicago platform democrats at S: The silver men ad been openly ening that, unle: the Gemocratic convention nominated a silver man for gov- error and indorsed the Chicago platform. they would put a ticket of their own in the field. Last night they did it at the Union Square Hotel. Elliot Danforth, the regular Gemocratic candidate for Meutenant gov- ernor, Was nominated for the same place by the silver men. The remainder of the ticket nominated In one of the parlors of the Union Square Hotel was as follow For secretary of state—Gideon J. Tucker. Controller—J. McDonough of Albany. Treasurer—H. C. Caton of Buffalo. Attorney general—Ole F. Snyder of Buf- cecceinee and surveyor—Gen. Lee of Rockland crunty. Willis J, Abbott, who attended the meet- ing at which the Lominations were mae. cuse. James A. said that he dined with Mr. George las’ evening and that he was confident he would accept the nomination. He added that he came down from Syracuse the other day with Elliot Danforth, and while he was not authorized to speak for him, he believed that he, too, would accept his nomination on the silver ticket. The Interrap: H. M. McDonald, president of the New York Bimetallic League, acted as chair- man of the nominating committee, and among those who tcok a prominent part in its deliberations were H. M. Goulden, Ezra Tuttle and Benjamin Doblin. About forty delegates from state senate districts were said to be present, but as the doors were kept closed this statement could not be verified. : The meeting of the nominating commit- tee was not accomplished without some in- terruptions. After the doors were closed a large number of silverites of various stages of illiteracy drifted up to the parlor floor, and, averrirg that they were delegates from assembly districts, demanded x sion in the name of the “holy cause of downtrodden iabor” against the “‘blarsted | piutoczat.” Their fellow workers inside de nied their requests, deigning not to explain that only senate district delegates were authorized to name the official opponents of the “money devil.” Then came John J. Oates, formerly cor- oner of Richracnd county, saying that if he thought he had a right inside “he'd bust in the door and be darned to ’em.” Thus in- cited, S. J. McBride, who said he was a delegate from the fifth senate district, said “he'd be hanged if he didn’t bust the door open."” Instead, he opened it and was step- ping boldly In, his manly chest swelling with indignation, when he was met by J. W. Everett, the sergeant-at-arms, who promptly threw him into the hall. J. J. Daly, who roasts corporations in the twen- ty-fifth assembly district whenever he can get an audience, was the next to make a trial, and he was also repulsed. The Kickers Subsided. The hall was filled with the shouts of them that had not triumphed, and the de- nunciations of H. M. McDonald filled the alr. “Ecss! boss!" they shouted. “We've got a Croker of our own!" Just ther the bess opened the door and broke the hush that greeted his appear- ance by remarking: “This noise must be stopped. If you are not quiet I shail call the police and have the floor cleared.” The kickers subsided and shut themselves irto the parlor across the hall, where they resolved to hold a rump parliament of their own, and if necessary nominate a full state ticket on their own account. The disaffected ciected Col. A. C, Fiske as chairman and F. W. Jobelmann as secre- tary. They selected Maj. Calhoun to keep order, which he did not. After the secretary had read the platform adopted by the silverites at Syracuse the other day, Col. Fiske made what are known among the silver spelibinders as “a few re- marks.” Mr. Daly, before mentioned, moved that a committee of five be appointed to go to the committee in session and request ad- mission as spectators, the eternal rec : one end of the room collapsed and fe big pitcher that nad recently been ed,” with the result that one of thi ites was so badly cut that he had put to bed in the hotel at the expen the “star chamb " committee in ge and H.
