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. Lee Appointed.
