FIERCE ASSAULT

AND MANILA FELL.
Engagament Was Short But
Overwhelmed Spaniard*.
London, Aug. 17. —A special
from Madrid says the surrender
of Manila on Saturday by Gen.
Jaubens has been officially an
nounced. The United States
troops immediately occupied the
city.
tien. Augusti, according to a
dispatch from Hong Kong, was
dismissed from his post as cap
tain general of the Philippines
on August sth. Gen. Jaubens
was ordered to take command
at Manila.
The Americans, notified the
authorities at Manila that a
bombardment by sea and land
would commence at noon on
August 9th. The city surrender
ed on the 13th ; and the Ameri
can flag was hoisted forthwith.
The Spanish officers were al

Nothing could be more hu

Gen. Merritt and Admiral
Dewey’s plan was to spare every
object but the armed defenses
and the trenches. Apparently
the American losses are extreme
ly small,
The Spanish entrenchments
varied in point o.‘ distance from
two to four miles from the cen
ter of old Manila. Defending
this long line of at least 10 miles
were not over and probably un

volunteers and natives. About
half that number were in the
hospital .
The attacking force numbered
from 10,000 to 20,000 natives
and 10,000 Americans on shore
and aboard tho fleet. In every
respect the advantage was on
the side of the attack.
lhe American field guns
threw heavier metal and had
longer range than the Spanish,
the marksmanship of the Unit
ed States gunners was much su
perior to that of the Spaniards
and the men were stron er and
in better condition. The Span

Secret Meeting Held In Santia
go De Cuba.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug 17.—A
secret meeting was held tonight at
the palace between the command
ing officers of the American army
and the Cuban leaders. The strict
est reticence was naaintaiiie I, but
it can be said on good authority
that General Garcia was present.
The meeting lasted an hour and
a half. The information obtained
is to the effect that the Cuban
situation was thoroughly reviewed
and that it was resolved to dis
band tba Cuban army, and that
the United States should pay the
men off.
This involves the expenditure of
$15,000 000, but it is most import
ant to the prosperity ot the island
whose wealth is entirely agricuG
tural, nobrly, planter or farmer,
daring to cultivate his land while
insurgent bands are in the field
raiding ar.d burning.
furious cannonade was kept up
until 11:20 o’clock. By that
time the Malate fort was silenced
and the American troops then
stormed the entrenchments. The
Spaniards who were in the earth
works tell me that the quick
firing gu ii of the little gunboat
Rapido. which layjclose to them
were far more terrible in their
offsets than was the raking fire
ot the ships.
Resistance to the American
at 1 ack wa» impossible. The First
Cjurado regiment was the ear
liest to charge the Spaniards,
who retired to the second line,
but soon outnumbered, they
were forced into the old city. A
part of Malate suffered severely
from the bombardm nt. The
vaunted iutrarnural defenses
were not tried.
The Spanish commander, con
vinced that further resistance
was hopeless, hoisted a white
flagat*ll:3o o’clock, and the
order of “cease firing” was im
mediately issued iif the center
of the town, but in the outskirts
of the city, fighting continued
for some time afterwards be
tween the rebels and the Span
iards.
The only fear felt in the city
is in regard te the conduct of
the insurgents. As I write this
in the house of the German
consul, a brisk fusilade is going
on between the combatants and
musketry fire is rattling all
around.

RELIABILITY
is 1 quality some newspapers have lost sight of in these
days of “yellow” journalism. They care little for truth
and a great deal for temporary sensation.
It is not-so with THE CHICAGO RECORD.
The success of THE RECORD rests upon its reliability.
It prints the news—all the news—and tells the truth
about it.
It is the only American newspaper outside New York city
that has its own exclusive dispatch boat service and its
own staff correspondents and artists at the front in both
hemispheres.
It is the best illustrated daily newspaper in the world<
Its war news service is unapproachably the best.
Says the Urbana (111.) Daily Courier:
“We read the war news in the other papers,
then we turn to THE CHICAGO RECORD to
see how much of it is true.”
Sold by newsdealers everywhere and subscriptions received
by all postmasters. Address THE CHICAGO RECORD, lit
