of Dewey’s dispatch boat, the Me-
Cullocb, and subsequently two reports
direct from Commodore Dewey.

translation of the first report, written
last Sunday immediately after the
greet battle:
Manila, May 1 —The tquadron ar
rived at Manila at daybreak this
morning. Immediately engaged the
enemy and destroyed the following
Spanish vessels: Reina Christina,
Castilla, Ulloa, Isla de Cubs, General
Leso, the Duero, Correo, Velasco,
Mindanao, one transport and the wa
ter battery at Cavite. The squadron
is uninjured and only a few men were
slightly wounded. The only means of
telegraphing is to the American
consul at Hong Kong. 1 shall com
municate with him. a
(Signed) Dewby.
The second report from Commodore
Dewey was given to the public an hour
later. It read aj follows:
Cavite, May 4.—1 have taken pos
session of naval station at Cavite on
Philippine Islands. I have destroyed
the fortifications at bay entrance, pa
trolling garrison. I control bay com
pletely and can take city at any time.
The squadron in excellent health and
spirits. Spanish loss not folly known,
but very heavy ; 150 killed, including
captain of Reina Christina. lam as
