The Day After the Battle.
Special to The Herald.
Manila. Aug. 14.—1 t Is the day after
the battle. Manila Is fully occupied by
the American iroeps. The Stars and
Stripe.' have been floating over the
city since 5:30 yesterday evening
when Lieut. Brumby, Dewey’s flag lieu
tenant, representing the navy, and
Lieut. Porey, of the Second Oregon,
representing the army, raised the flag
over tbe palsce. At the moment the
glorious folds fluttered in the breeze as
they went.to the top of the flagstaff,
the band of the Second Oregon, march
ing at the head of the advancing col
umns of the victorious troops, saw it
from the street below. The band halt
ed and swung quickly from "Hot Time
in the Old Town Tonight” into ’’The
Star Spangled Bann r.”
A Mighty Cheer
As soon as the soldiers heard the
sudden change and saw the flag the col
umns uncovered and burst into wild
cheering. This was the end of the cer
emony of the surrender which began

The Statu*.
Wathtogtoß. D C. Aug. 17.
Now that the surrender Is officially ,
reported it can be stated that Manila
Is being held by virtue of military oc
' cupation aud surrender, and net by
i virtue of the protocol. The difference:
' ia aaid to amount tu little in prariical
remits, per the official# agree the occu
pation is the result of combined mill
'tar? and naval operations. Ac.rding
'to Dewey's tliapalch the surrender oc
- cui red at sp. m Saturday. Tha
'peace protocol was signed nt 4:23 p.
-m., Fr.day. It is said the difference
In time between Manila and Washing
ton i* such that the surrender, reckon-!
cd on Washingion time, would be about j
j twelve hours ahead of the time at Ma-1
nila. or about 5 o’clock Saturday
morning.
A* to 1 ime.
i In point of actual time, therefore, the
signing of the pea c protocol preceded j
! the actual surrender of Manila a few
hems. Hut It Is a well established rule
of military law. tjjc world over, that a'
peace armistice or cessation cf hostlli-,
I ties does not become binding upon the
commanding officers until they receive
I actual notice of it. This rule \s ex
i pressed in the United States Rcrrula
! tions governing armies in the fit\l Is
las folio’S'
| "Article 139. An armistice is binding
| upon belligerents from the day of the
I agreed commencement, but officers of
[the army are responsible from the day
loci" when they receive the official no
tice of ir« existence."
Under the nilo, Dewrv and Merritt
world be bound by Iho armistice only
from the time the notice reached therti |
ai Manila. This could not have oc-1
' turre t on the Saturdgjr prior to the
bembtrrdment, ae the cable 'yas not
,working and no dispatch boat could
'have gotten through with it before
■Monday or Tuesday. In short, it Is
|agreed In all official quarters that the
forcitle taking of Manila bay was en
, tirdy regular and the city and bay
are now held on the basis of a military
1 and enforced taking, rather than on a
| basis of mutual arrangement between
the two countries.
May Be Material.
This may became materia! when the
question arises as to the future or the
Philippines, for it is likelylo proceed
from the American standpoint that Ma
nila was taken by force of arms and is
so occupied. There has been no time
to consider what will be, done with the
7,000 Spanish prisoners taken, but the
fact that an amicable understanding
has been reached with Spain as to the
occupation of Manila will probably op
erate to lighten tbo condition of these
prisoners.

Tha White FUg.
They tok refuse in Manila and soon |
after, seeing tbe futility of further
flsbting, Gen. Jandetnes hoisted the
■ white flag and sent word of hi* nn>
conditional surrendar.
The city Itaelf was bat little dem
laged. The fire of tbe ship* was direet
|rd against ibe fort* and outlying en
trenchment* of the troops. The bom
bardment. which began at 9.30 o'clock
in the forenoon, wa* continued for two
l hour*.
Then the American# stormed the
trenches, sweeping all before them. -
The F'rst California volunteers storiii
!ed the outer trenches and drove the
Spaniard* Into their second line of de- i
‘fenre. The Americans swept on, driv
ing all the Spaniard# Into the Inner
fortifltation#. where the Hpaniab com
mander, seeing that further reililanre
was useless, hoisted tbe whits flag aud
‘surrendered.
As to the Losses.
I The losses of the Americans or Span-1
Ixh are not yet known. The Spaniards;
I intrenches probably numbered 3,000 j
men. The American attacking force
numbered 10,000 and Ihe Americans!
wore better armed, better trained and
In better condition.
The foreign fleets watched the bom- j
(bardment with acute interest. The Am-;
(eriean ivnrships engaged were the;
Olympia, Petrel, Ilaleigh, McCulloch,:
Boston, Monterey, Charleston and Bal
timore.
Augustin’s Hscape.
The Germans had a launch waiting'
for Augustin, which carried him to the
Kaiserin Augusta. The cruiser put to
i sea at 10 o'clock Saturday night and
came over at a speed of seventeen;
knots. No one here understands thej
German position.
It is rr ported that Dewey dispatched j
cruisers late on Saturday night for
Llcilo and Cebu, either to accept the 1
surrender of these places or to bom
bard them. The ilaleigh was to start
on Sunday for Labuan there to pick up
three Spanish steamers that have been
running between that port aud Lloilo.
The Concord and Boston were dis
patched to Port Royal to sink five gun
hoars that have been In hiding. After
wards the warshipß will raise the Am
erican flag at the capital of each of the
islands. It i® expected that it will take
the warships three weeks to accom
plish these missions.
Ca'ledon Wlldman.
Agonclllo, high commissioner and
ambassador of the Philippines provis
ional government, headed a delegation
of Hong Kong Philippines that called
on Consul General Wlldman yesterday
and congratulated him on the Ameri
can victories In the Philippines. They
requested Mr. Wlldman to wire Presi
dent McKinley assurance of their al
legiance and to present their request
that the Filipinos be represented on the
Philippine commisison.
