Berlin, Aug. 10—Gen. Augusti,ac
cording to a dispatch from Hong Kong
dated yesterday, was dismissed from
his post as captain-general of the Phil
ippines on August 5. Gen Jaudems
was ordered to take command at Ma
nila.
The dispatch says: “The Ameri
cans notified the authorities at Manila
that a bombardment by sea and land
would commence at noon on August 9.
The city surrendered on the 13th, and
the American Hag was hoisted forth
with. *
“The Spanish officers were allowed
their freedom on parole. The judici
ary and the administrative offices are
to remain temporarily in the hands of
ill- Spaniards. The insurgents remain
'outside of the town.
Admiral Dewey gave Gen. Augusti
an hour in which surrender at the
time of the last demand, made on Sat
urday. Gen. Augusti refused to com
ply- ’
“The bombardment, which began at
9:30 a. rn., was continued for two hours
and then the Americans stormed the
trenches, sweeping all before them.
Those within the walls attempted no
resistance. The Fit si Colotado volun
teers stormed the outer trenches and
drove the Spaniards into the second
line of defenses.
“Then the American troops swept
on, driving all the Spaniards into the
inner fortifications, where the Spanish
commander, seeing further resistance
was useless, hoisted the white flag and
surrendered.
“The losses, American and Spanish,
are not yet known. The Spaniards in
the trenches probably numbered 3,000
men. The American attacking force
numbered ten thousand, and the Amer
icans were better armed, better trained
and in better condition. The foreign
fleets watched the bombardment with
acute interest.
“The American warships engaged
were the Olympia, Petrel, Raleigh,
McCulloch, Boston, Monterey, Charles
ton and Baltimore.
“The Spaniards assert that the fire
ol the, Americans for the most part fell
short, the only effective fire being from
a small gunboat armed with quick tir
ing guns that was close in shore. It is
also asserted by the Spaniards that the
Americans lost heavily in the storming
owing to the faulty construction of
their entrenchments, which the Span-
iads could command from the heights
and upon which they poured a galling
fire.
“The . Spanish trench extended
around Manila at a distance of from
two to four miles from the walled city,
forming a circle ten miles in circum
ference. and it was impossible, the
Spaniards say, to hold so long a line
against the American attack.
Admiral Dewey and Gen. Merritt,
it is reported, had issued orders to
spare all except armed defenses of the
city, and'consequently the town is un
derstood to have been but little dam
aged. Some street fighting between
the insurgents and the Spaniards oc
curred on the outskirts, but order pre
vailed within the walled section.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Prom our Kegtilnr <'ori<(|ion<trMi.
Washington, Aug. 18,1898.,
Sir McKinley is still in doubt as :o
the policy we should pursue towards the
Philippines. It was that doubt that
causedvthe temporary peace agreement
signed by representatives of the two
governments, to provide that the Com
missioners to negotiate the treaty of
peace, which shall determine the final
disposition of the Philippines should
meet at Paris, not later than Oct. 1,
when it would have been easy to have
saved a month by having the Commis- j
sion meet September 1. The Spanish
government has been quick to recognize
this doubt on the part of Mr. McKin
ley, and to act upon it; it has issued a 1
statement to the Spanish people saying '
that they had reason to believe the
peace commission would allow Spain
to retain the Philippines. What the
policy of the administration is to be
towards the Philippines will he plainer
after Mr. McKinley names the five
American peace commissioners. The
only one yet known is Secretary Day,
who may be considered as Mr. Mc
Kinley’s mouth-piece and personal
representative. It is daily becoming
plainer that a great mistake was made
in allowing Spain to have any say as to
the disposition of the Philippines.
While there are differences of opinion
among our people as to our
keeping the island the opinion
is practically unanimous that Spain
should not be allowed to retain them.
It will be farcical for us to talk about
driving Spain out of Cuba and Porto
Rico for the sake of humanity,and then
to allow Spain to keep the Philippines
after they were practically in our pos
session. We should, not confine our
humanity to the Cubans, else foreigners
will refuse to believe that it is human-
ity.
The government is preparing to
send food to Cuba, not only lor the in
surgents, but for all that need it, in
cluding the Spanish soldiers, but the
Red Cross Society is ahead of tire
government as it is already distribut
ing food and other relief in Cuba.
If the democrats do not elect a ma
jority of the house, this year, it will
not be the fault of tlie democratic f ’ m-
gressional Campaign Commitre-. \ .• -h
is preparing for a vigorous i-ampuign
with confident expectation- of success.
While the Committee wi.l as usual,
furnish the candidates with the kind
of literature they think will be most
effective in their districts, it will also
distribute literature criticising the war
revenue law, because of its being hard
er upon the poor than upon the rich;
showing up some of the many evils re
sulting from Secretary Alger’s using
the War Department as a republican
partisan machine, and the financial
question will not be neglected, but will
hi discussed in , accordance with the
Chicago platform. Democrats who
have visited the committee head
quarters, without exception, regard the
close of the war at this time as decid
edly advantageous for the democratic
party, because it will enable them to
bring other questions to the attention
of the voters and because it will pre
vent the other side going into the cam
paign with a false plea that a vote
against a republican candidate would
be vote a against the conduct of the war.
It has not yet been determined whether
the administration should be attacked
for its action in giving Spain too much
to say through the three joints com
missions provided for in the terms of
peace, when it could just as easily have
settled everything in the terms them
selves, which Spain would have been
bound Jo accept anyway, although
such action is being strongly advoca
ted.
There is some very strong talk among
the Senators and Representatives, who
have been in Washington since Samp
son was advanced eight numbers and
promoted to be Rear Admiral, while
Schley, who was also promoted to be
Rear Admiral, was only advanced six
numbers, which makes Sampson one
number ahead of him, instead of one
number behind him as he was before
these promotions were made. While it
is not regarded as likely that any at
tempt will be made to hang up Samp
son’s promotion in the Senate, it is al
most certain that occasion will be
taken in both House and Senate, to
show that he ows it more to favor
itism than to anything he did. It will
not be surprising, either, should the
resolution offered by Representative
Berry, extending the thanks of Con
gress to Schley for destroying Cerve-
ra’s fleet, be adopted

it is known bow many will be needed
to garrison Porto Rico and Cuba, and
it will be some time before that is
known, as military commissions are
first to meet at San Juan and Havana,
and arrange the terms and time of
evacuation ot Porto Rico and Cuba.
The Spaniards will be hurried out of
Porto Rico, as fast as possible, but as
there are six or eight weeks more of
the unhealthy season in Cuba, our
representatives on the Commission are
not likely to object to the Spaniards
taking all the time they want to leave
there.
COMMISSIONERS APPOINTED.
President Has Named the Two Mili
tary Commissions, One to Meet
in Havana and the Other
in San Juan.
Washington, Aug. 1(5—The presi
dent today appointed the two commis
sioners to adjust tire evacuation of
Cuba and Porto Rico. They fol
low:
For Cuba: Major general James F.
Wade, Rear Admiral William T.
Sampson, Major General Mathew C-
Butler.
For Porto Rico: Major General
John R. Brooke, Rear Admiral Win-
freld S. Schley, Brigadier General
William W. Gordon.
General William W. Gordon one of
the commissioners, and the only one of
the six appointees to the two commis
sioners who is not widely known, is a
woll known c.itiz-n of 'Savannah, Ga.
He is the senior colonel of tlie Georgia
militia, and served in the ranks of the
Confederate army. He is (51 years old.
He belongs to one ot the wealthiest
families of the state.and is conspicuous
socially here. He was largely indorsed
in the state lor brigadier general.
UORMAN AND ALLISON DECLINE.
Neither Senator Desires to Be Member
of Peace Commission.
Washington,Aug. Iff The presi
dent today tendered to Senator Allison,
of Iowa, an appointment as a member
of the peace commission. Senator Alli
son, however, could rfot see his way
clear to accept the honor. Senator Alli
son in acknowledging the honor offer
ed, explained that the interests of his
state in tlie senate and his desire to
continue his former vigorous participa
tion in tlie shaping ot legislation in
that body and other duties, would pre
clude his taking up the arduous duties
at Paris that would demand so much
time and serious work. It is under
stood that the president has tendered
to Senator Gorman, of Maryland, a
place on tlie peace commission, and
that he has declined the offer. The
president now, it is stated, is looking
for another Democratic senator to
take the place of Senator Gorman.
