IN MANILLA BAY.
Details of The Battle Coming
in Slowly.
FOUGHT FORT ANO FLEET
And Swept Spanish SqauJron
From l he Ocean.
London, May 3.—The details
of the battle of Manilla have
been received at the British co
lonial oflice. They came in two
cable messages received yester
day evening, the substance of
which was furnished to the As
sociated Press by the officials of
the colonial office today.
The first dispatch announced
that the United States fleet en
tered Manilla harbor at day
break yesterday, stationing it |
self opposite the city. A tort
opened fire on the American
ships, whereupon they shifted
their position to one near Cavite,
in Manilla bay, engaging in a
fierce fight against both the forts
and the Spanish fleet.
The engagement lasted two
hours and resulted in the anni
hilation of the Spanish fleet.
1 his dispatch adds that the
American ships withdrew to
their magazine vessel, in the
cen ier of the roadstead, for the
purpose of coaling.
One American vessel the name
of which is not mentioned, is
said to have been disabled.
C» mmodore Dewey requested
the British consul, E. 11. Raw
* son-Walker, to convey a message
to the Spanish governor-general
demanding the surrender of all
the torpedoes and guns at Ma
nilla and the possession of the
cable offices, saying that unless
these terms were complied with
he would proceed to bombard
the city. The first of the cable
messages ends with the state
ment that the Spanish officials
were conferring with the British
consul and the telegraph com
pany’s agent, and that pending
decisi n being arrived at, the
cables were not permitted to
handle messages.
i The second dispatch received
by the colonial office announced
that the Spanish governor-gen
eral had refused to surrender
the torpedoes, guns and cable
officers, and that he had pre
vented the agent of the telegraph
company from conferring with
Commodore Dewey.
This message ended with the
statement that the British govern
ment of the etraits settlenu nts
expect that the bombardment of
Manilla would be begun ou Mon
day morning, when the Spaniards
would cut the cable.
The first of these cable messages
was received at 9 o'clock yester
day morning and the second i t
midnight.
They have not yet been given
to the newspapers here. No other
messages on the sunject have been
received in London. although th*
foreign office expected uews from
the British consul at Manila.
Therefore, it i« supposed that tin
expection of the governor of the
straits settlements has been fuF
filled, and the Spaniards have
cut the cable.

and advised me to weir a bandage, but J
feared this voi.ul irritate the sore and
make it worse. i I
Could No Hide the Sores.
My niece, who w :t familiar with n case

Hood’s Saran.j nrilU, urged me to try it.
Finally I wo.p .-.ntded to do so, and in
a short time ! .aw it was helping me.
The sores b’gati to heal and the neu

months the or< s on my arms and limbs
