Merritt’s Force Not Known There Was a Combined Attack of Land and Naval Forces. Reported Attack of insurgents on Our Troops. Washington, Aug. 18.—The following dispatch was received at the navy de- partment yes-terday: V Manila, Aug. 13. To the Secretary of the Navy, Wash- ington: Manila surrendered to-day to land-and naval forces after a combined a‘t't'aCk. A division of the squadron shelled the forts and intrenchments at Malate, on the south side of the ci-ty, driving back the enemy, our army ad- vancing on that side at the same time. City surrendered about 5 p. m., the 'American flag being hoisted by Lieu— tenant Brumby. About seven thousand prisoners of War were taken. The squadron has no casualties; no vessels injured. On August 7 General Merritt and I formally demanded the surrender of the city, which the Spanish governor general refuse . 0111‘ DEWEY. Lieutenant Bruinby is Admiral Dew- ey's flag lieutenant: The war department is still waiting for advices from General Merritt giv- ing the military side of the story of Manila’s downfall. The admiral's dispatch, however, give the assurance that the army's approach was skilfully conducted, although it does not especially state that there were no casualties among the land for- ces. All departments of the- adminis- tration are rejoicing over th-e success of the American arms. Although un- known to the military and naval com- manders at Manila, the assault on the city was unnecessary. Long before this time the news of the armistice procla- mation has reached Admiral Dewey and General Merritt, and the orders from the Washington government pre- clude the possibility of further opera- tions in the Philippines. There is a chance, however, that somefighting oc- curred subsequent to the fall of the city and before the knowledge of the armistice was received at Manila. Within a day or two the war de- partment will probably receiVe infor- mation from General Merritt in an- swer to its quest-ion as to whether more troops are need-ed One important matter in regard to f the fall of Manila has yet to be ex- plained. If Admiral Dewey sent any information to the navy department in regard- to the reported action- of. the Germans in taking the Spanish cap- tain general on board one of their war- ships, the fact is suppressed by the authorities. This question is an important one to the government, fo-r the opinion is gen- eral among administration officers that such action by the German naval oom- mander must be regarded as a serious international offense. Manila, Aug. 13, via Hong Kong, Aug. 16.—The city of Manila surren- dered to-day. Four’American war-,- sh‘ips bombarded Mal-ate for an hou ., They fired a hundred shots, when our: flag was raised o-ver the Philippines. The Spanish surrendered about 6,500 men and 12, 000 stand of arms, together with an immense amount of ammuni- tion. The Spaniards were allowed the of war. 4““! Madrid, Aug. 7.—Captain Gen. Au— gustin, it is stated here, obeyed the in- structions of the government in devol— ving the com-mand at Manila upon Ge— neral Jaudenes, and the latter will be tried by court martial for surrender- ing without making greater resist- ance. A German Explanation. Berlan, Aug. 18.-—Th1e Norddeutsclhe . :‘Allgemeine Zeitung explains that the Kaiserin August-e.,, which brought away. General Augustin from Manila left the harbor after the surrender of the city, and asserts that the Spanish officers were allowed to go free, so that Cap— tain General Augustin was able .to go‘ whither he pleased. “When Admiral von Diedr‘ichs per-: mitted him to go to Hong Kong on board the KaiserlnAugusta,” says this? paper, “it was by agreement with the American commander-in-chief, if in-- deed, the German admiral considered such an agreement still necessary. Moreover, it is also to be observed that the Spanish troops at Manila. may, by, mutual consent, proceed to Spain 0':- Hong Kong.” . London, Aug. 18.—The Pall Mall Ga-g zette comments on the “extraordinary action of the Germans in assisting the flight of Gen. Augustin from Manila. " In terms similar to those used by the Times this morning ,it Sharply crit- icises the proceeding, drawing atten-‘ tion to its similarity to the German ac-I tion‘ during the British bombardment of Zanzibar, when the usurping sultan sought refuge at t-he‘German consulate. The paper adds: "‘Tlhis Manila inci- dent Ls uncommonly nigh a flagrant breach of neutrality. and is certain to be regarded as an international dis- courtesy, if nothing worse.” Shafr er’s Army‘ to Parade. "Nun-1, VV‘a-shington, Aug. 18.—President Mc- Kinley has informed General Wheeler that he would review the troops which participated in the Santiago campaign as soon as tlhey are in condition. The parade will precede the muster- ing out of the volunteer forces now at Montauk Point andwill probably take- plac-e in New York city. The date has not yet been fixed, and will depend upon the rapidity with which the soldiers recover their for- mer state at health. ' 7111-113 ‘ 111011 111111 | i “'35 A BIG DEMONSTRATION.

There had been, he said, no pressure from the officers or residents of any state to bring about the discharge of any particular regiment. The only pressure, he said, came from the men themselves. EThey wrote that they had enlisted for the war, and the war being over they wanted to go back "home and re— sume the duties of civil life. 1? It was in response to these requests that the order to mustex out all thi- troops t..at 01.3111 be spaicd had been decided 1: p011. Admiral Carver: Reimhed. Vv’ashington.

All the Spanish oflicers at Annapolis expect to be released in a few days, but not all of them expect to return to Spain immediately. One of them tends to remain in this country-perma— nently, and others will visit Baltimoré, Washington and other places of inter- est before returning to their own country. ll!- -.1.——-. A Trust Against Tramps. Nutley, N. J., Aug. 18.—The women of this place and Franklin have or- ganized the Ladies‘ Home Protective Association, and will carry on a vigor- ous crusade against tramps. A circu~ lar has been issued in which attention is called to the‘iarge number of idle men who are to be seen in the town- ship. The circular says that while the meneare apparently in quest of food and clothing, their real object is to steal whatever they can. In order to discourage the strangers the members of the society have agreed not to feed or give clothing of any kind or allow it to be given at their doors, unless the applicant is recom- mended by some responsible person liv- ing in Essex e01. ily. Wheeler Defends Cubans. Washington, Aug. 18.—General Jeseph Wheeler had a three—quarters of an hour conference with the president yes— terday. As to the possibility of a rupture with the Cuban insurgents, General Whee— ier’s statements were very reassur- mg. “All the friction,” he said, “between the Americans and Cubans will soon pass away, and there will be harmony and the best of feeling among them.” General Wheeler believed the Cuban-s, when freed from oppression and given a stable and humane government, would become law abiding and useful people. Klondike Played Out. Seattle, Wash, Aug. 18.—The major- ity of the passengers which arrived on the steam schooner. Grace Dollar went into Alaska early in the spring and became disgusted with the country. Baptain Fosen says 'he heard of no gold dismveries in the K-otz-ebu district, where rich strikes hava been recently reported. There were about 500 pros- pectors there, he says. Two river steamers and several laun- ches are plying the Kubuk, but are unable to go up more than twenty-five miles on account of low water. Coming to Camp Black, Hempstead, L. 1., Aug. 18.—Colonel Schuyler, post commandant, has receiv- ed a telegram from the war department asking if Camp Black could accommo- date the entire volu.nt1c-er force from New York state, estimated to number 20,000 men. . Colonel Schuyler replied that the camp’s facilities were ample for the purpose mentioned. . 1 Wheat. in the Northwest. Minneapolis, Minn, Aug. 18.—H. V.

Denial of a State and Federal Clash Over Quarantine Matters. Work. D13t1-ibuting5upplies. Removal of Patients to New Haven Hospitals. ‘ Montauk Point, L. 1., Aug. 18.—The report of impending conflict between the state and federal authorities over the quarantine question at Camp Wik- off is proved to have been unfounded..- General Young said that the question had arisen only in a casual way, and that there was no intention to dispose of it immediately. “I have had no direct communica- a reporter, ”but I have hearl at third hand that he thought the camp should be quarantined. I have spoken with General Sternberg about it, but in so casual a fashion that I do not recol— lect whether or not he expressed11an opinion. My own opinion as I told it to him Was that we should quarantine against the state rather than the state aD o"am-st us. When peace is declared the state authorities will supersede the federal, but even'so, no difference of opinion is in prospect. There is time enough to talk about it when there is. There are seven well developed cases in the yellow fever hospital. Colonel Eorwood said he had not been inform- ed of the number of suspects in camp, and could not estimate. The best ap- proximation to be made was sixty-one. Until the hospital arrangements are more complete accurate statistics will be hard to get. It could not be learned whether or not the condition of these men was improving. Reports are not made with regularity to Colonel For: wood. The typhoid fever patients in the general hospital and as many as possible of the malaria case-s were re- moved to the New 'I-Iaven hospitals y-.esterday The removal was not made because of the fear of an epidemic .(General Young and Colonel Forwood both stat- ed positively that no epidemi-c was feared), but because of the threatened congestion in the general hospital. It is believed that the transport-s now due to arrive will (have manysick aboard. Indeed, Colonel For-wood has informa- tion to this effect. There were more than 400 patients—the exact number was not known—in the general hospital this morning, and there are but 100 spare cots. In the detention hospital there are only 50 spare beds. Beyond question, it was said, there would not b-e loom enough at the end of the week unless 200 of the patients were remm- ed. The difficulties of transportation still. c-on-Htinue though an energetic effort is being made by the First regiment of volunteer engineers to put the road in a passablccondition, and by the quar- termaster’s department to get more mules, more wagons and more , men. Thus it is impossible to make quick progress in the work of enlarging the hospital. The newly arrived men in the hospitals are faring badly, a man con- nected with the Red Cross said to-day. Government red tape, he continued, keeps supplies from them for several days, and in consequence weak as they are, they suffer a good de-.al The Red Cross received six tons of food and eight hundred pairs of blankets yester- day, and distributed much of it to-day with three wagons which. have been placed at their service. The men ,of the Seventy-first were. in great need of blankets and good food, and were care- fully looked after, but no to the ne- glect of any other troops. Red Cross nurses are expected to arrive and will take up their work at once. Quartet-s are being hurriedly prepared for them. The First regular cavalry and Bat- tery, FOurth light artillery, were land— ed from the Matt-eawan yesterday in comparatively good condition. They marched strongly and appeared in ev- ery way to be in better form than the troops previously landed. A number of transports are now due, but none is expected to arrive before Friday. Hea- vy weather is reported, and will, it is said, hold them back. The delay will giv-e the chiefs of departments needed opportunity t-o prepare for their arri- val. Gen. Wheeler to Command. Washington, Aug. 18.——General Joseph Wheeler was at the war department yesterday and had an interview with the secretary. He received orders to assume command at Camp Wik-off until the arrival of General Shatter, and was told by the secretary of war to pur- chase everything that was necessary for the comfort of the men, and ‘to spare nothing that would alleviate the sufferings of the sick and Wounded. General Wheeler left last night for New York and will go thence to Mon- tauk Point. Army Orders. Washington, Aug. 18.—Among the ar— my orders issued yesterday were the following: Acting Assistant Surgeon William F. Skinner will proceed from St. Thomas, Pennsylvania, to Montauk Point and report for assignment to duty. _ Lieutenant Paul B. Malone, T‘hlirt— e-enth infantry, now on sick leave, Fort Porter, Buffalo, N. Y., will proceed to Montauk Point and report for tempo— rary duty pen-ding the arrival there of his regiment. -- The order to Colonel Thomas McGre— go-r, Ninth cavalry, to Join his regiment M-ontauk Point and report for duty with his regiment upon Its arrival a-t that place. The Strike for Chinese Trade.

A severe storm set in at early morn- ing, but at noon :it had'cleared and the indications were favorable for lit- tile or no wind and smooth water for the test of the Dominion and Challen- ger for t-he Seawanhaka cup. ‘ The race was over the triangular course, three times around, a total dis- tance of-1twelve miles. 1 The start was made at 12-. 52. The Challenger had much the better of the start, getting the windward position, and continuing to gain. The Wind was very light. At 1.10 p. m. the Challenger was 111111 ning away from the Dominion and if the wind proved sufficient' to carry them over the course within the time limit of four hours, the .Chillenger seemed likely to win. Challenger rounded the first buoy at 1.11.25, Dominion at 1.13, in slight breeze . and running smartly: Challenger rounded second buloy at 1.22.11, Dominion at 1..22 45. Both had spinnakers set. This leg was a free run, and with the freshening wind the Challenger was increasing her lead rapidly. Dominion won the race and series, retaining t-he Se-awanhaka cup. —_ SHOT AN DREA’S PIGEON. Reported That Bird Bearing Polar Ex- plorer’s Signature Was Killed. Seattle, Wash, Aug. 18.—Details have. reached here by steamer from St. Mich- aels, Alaska, of. a rumor that one of the carrier pigeons of Andree, the ex- plorer, was shot last January by the captain of the Thistle, a vessel of the imprisoned whaling fleet, near Mac- kenzie River Inlet, on the Arctic ocean. The .news reached St. Michael in a roundabout way, through two Ameri- can prospectors, ‘F. W- Beasley of.Mon- tana and Louis Splichit of San Fran- cisco, who heard it in March from men who had been informed by couriers from the fleet. The bird is said to have alighted o-n flhe y-ardar-m of the Thistle, and, after being shot, an oil-skin capsule was found attached to it by two rings, one of which bore a. stamp of Andree’s name. In the capsule was Andree’s sig- nature, with date, longitude and lati- tude. The whaling fleet is due at San Fran- cisco about a month ”hence when the st‘ory may be verified and details learn- e Aguinaldo Fought Us. San Francisco, Aug. 18.—~Advic-es from Manila of August 14, via Hong Kong, say: Our troops met with much resistance in the attack on Manila, eight being killed and t'h-irty— four wounded. The insurgents, who are shut o-ut of the city threaten t-o cause trouble. Malate only was bombarded. All the ships escaped injury.

Madrid, Aug. 18.—The government has rejected the resignations of the governors general of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. The Cortes, it is asserted, will reas- semble on September 15. “El Tiempo, the organ of Senor Sil‘ vela, leader of the dissident Conserva- tives, continues its demands for a con- vocation of the Cortes, alleging that while the Cortes could not change the terms of the protocol, it might be able to influence the course of the negotia- tions regarding the Philippines. " tT-he word “control” in article 3 of the protocol is translated by El Tiempo as signifying “intervention similar to Great Britain’s occupatidn of Egypt. ..-_.- Carnezlé’s Gift to Dumfries.
