The largo ships of Spain cruised off Cnvlto and Manila. The Ameri can fleet entered Manila bay on Saturday night with the greatest of case. Thp Span iards had not established n patrol nnd there were no searchlights nt the entrance ot the bay. In fact the American ships would probably have passed Inside the bay with out any challenge had It not bean that some parks flow up from the McCulloch's fun nel. Thereupon a few shots wore oxchangnat with the batteries on Corregldor Island , but the fleet did not slow down and soon took up n position near Cavlte , awaiting dawn In. order to commence hostilities. The onrlr hours ot the morning revealed trie opposing ships to each other nnd the Spanish flagship opened fire. Its action was followed by some of the larger ships and then the Cuvlto forts opened up nnd the smaller Spanish vessels brought their guns Into play. The American squadron , which had been led Into thu bay through the channel by the flagship Olympla , did not reply , though the hella ot the Spaniards began to strike the water around them , but moved majestically onward. When ncarlng Baker bay n sudden upheaval of water a short distance ahead of the Olympla showed that the Spaniards had exploded n mine or torpedo. This was followed by a second and similar explosion , They were both utterly unsuccessful. The American fleet was then drawing nearer nnd nearer to the Spanish , whoso gunnery was very poor , the shots from the Cavlte batter ies and from the Spanish ships being equally badly aimed , cither falling short or going wide of the mark. 3tn.li. Every Shot Tell. Though the Spaniards had opened flro al 6,000 yards , the Americans reserved thcl ! flro until within 4,000 yards of the enemy , when the real battle began. The Relnn Christina , Castllla , Don Antonio do Ulloa , Isla do CubaIsla do Luzon and the Mln- dane were In line of battle outside ol Cavlte at that time with four gunboats and the torpedo boats Insldo the harbor. The American ships then passed backwards am ! forwards six times across the front of the Spaniards , pouring In upon the latter a per fect hall of shot nnd shell. Every American shot scorned to tell , while almost even Spanish shot missed the mark. After Having thus scattered death am' ' demoralization among the Spanish fleet nnc In the Spanish batteries the American flee ; retired for breakfast and Incidentally i council of war was held on board thi Olympla. By this time the Spanish ships were In i desperate condition. The flagship Helm Christina was riddled with shot and shell one ot Its steam pipes had burst nnd It wai . believed to bo on flro. The Castllla was ccr tnlnly on fire , nnd soon afterwards Its condl tlon became worse and worse , until It wai eventually burned to the water's edge. The Don Antonio do Ulloa made a mos magnificent show ol desperate bravery When Its commander found It was so ton by the American shells that ho could no keep It afloat ho nailed Its colors to thi mast and It sank with nil hands fighting ti the last. Its hull was completely rlddlei nnd Its upper deck had been swept clean b ; the awful flro of the American guns , bu the Spaniards , though tholr vessels vror sinking beneath them , continued worklni the guns on its lower deck until It sank be ncath the waters. During the engagement a Spanish tor pedo boat crept along the shore and rouni the ofilng In an attempt to attack th American store ships , but It wns promptl. discovered , was driven ashore and actual ! blown to pieces. The Mlndano had In th meantime been run ashore to save It fror ( linking and the Spanish small craft ha sought shelter from the steel .storm bohln ' " the breakwater. . i 1'atH 'on Fltilnulnif Touched. The battle ) which -was started at abou 5:30 : a. in. and'adjourned at 8:30 : a. m. , wa resumed about nodn , when Commodor Dewey started In to put the flnlshin touches on his glorious work. There' wa not much fight left In the Spaniards by tba time and at 2 p. m. the Petrel nnd Con cord bad shot the .Cavlte batteries int ' ellonce , leaving them heaps ot ruins an floating the white flag. The Spanish guh boats were then scuttled , the arsenal wa on fire and the explosion of a Spanish maga ztne caused further mortality ashore. A shot 'which struck the Baltimore ex ploded some ammunition near ono ot th guns and slightly Injured halt a dozen c the crow. Several shots passed danger ously close to Commodore Dcwoy , but llttl or no damage was done on board the flag ship. ship.On On the other hand , about 150 men. are sat to have been killed on board the SpanU flagship , which was totally destroyed. Ad mlral Montojo , the Spanish commando transferred his flag to the Isla de Cub when his ship caught fire , but the' lattc was also destroyed In duo coursS of time. The Rclna Christina lost Its captain , lieutenant , chaplain and a midshipman b ono shot , which struck Its bridge. Aboi 100 men were killed and'sixty wounded n board the Castllla. Indeed , some estimate place the number of Spanish wounded dui Ing the engagement at over 1,000 men. The Olympla was struck "flvo 'times aboi Its upper works and a whale boat of tt Raleigh was smashed. The terms of the capitulation were all unsettled when the McCulloch left Manll nnd It wns said Commodore Dewey fparc rioting upon the part of the Insurgents he attempted a bombardment of thu remalr Ing fortifications at Manila. 'The forts i the entrance ot the bay were dismantled c Wednesday , after they had capitulated. It Is snd | the American commodore o : dorod the cable to be cut because the Spai Ish refused to permit him to use It peiu ing the complete surrender ot the city. The Petrel , chased a gunboat tip tl river Paslg and the Spanish cnptaln came I a boat io negotiate conditions of surrendc The Amerhran captain replied : "Uncond tlonal surrender or fight. " To this the Spaniard answered : "Wo a willing to fight. Please allow us to set far ammunition because our store Is c : haunted. " Uncle Sam Says This Is America' * Greatest Medicine.

( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The night of April 21 , when the American fleet first appeared off Morro castle , the city of Ha vana was warned by three alarm guns flred from Morro castle at 6 o'clock. In the even ing. Although the notice had bean expected for several days , everybody had been hoping against liopo that something would turn up to bring about a peaceful settlement of affairs , so that when the alarm wns duly given everybody was astounded nnd every thing throughout the city was In confusion. Few except the" most Ignorant of the people believed the city would bo bombarded. Nevertheless , those living along the sea front left their houses nnd went to less ex posed parts of the city. Although many troops had been concen trated In and around the city , there were hardly any troops In the batteries and at the points most liable to attack. The great est confusion prevailed , and the streets were nitcd with bodies of troops hurrying from ono point to another trying to find the positions assigned them. The volunteers nnd the new recruits enlisted In the last few weeks were running about the streets In complete disorder , and It wns midnight before order wns established. All that night and the next day and the next night every body stayed at their posts , guarding them the best way they could. By this tlmo General Blanco had come to the conclusion thnt the city wns not going to bo attacked at once and Issued a procla mation dividing the city up Into districts i nnd appointing committees to look after the families left unprotected by the men being at the defenses and also to keep track of all men In their respective districts. No ono Is allowed to rove from one house to another without permission nnd these committees , 1 who consist , only of native born Spaniards , are hold responsible for any disturbance or depredations In their districts and servo nil the powers of a Judge. Since then the greatest quiet and order have prevailed throughout the city. Every body that did not have employment * , waa compelled to work on the fortifications. Work was carried on day nnd night and they have done wonders In a short tlmo , This forced employment served to take ur the minds of the people and also gave there a chance to get food ; ns after the money was received on board the Montserrat tht government paid the men every night. Of course for several days there was c feeling of suspense throughout the city , bul that has generally worn off nnd the general feeling Is that the sooner the Americans at tack them the better. The Spanish elemenl Is just quixotic enough to believe that as soon as the troops are landed they arc goIng - Ing to have an easy victory. You hear tht expressions everywhere , "Oh , Just let then land roops and we will show them whai Spaniards are made of. " There Is no doubt but that they have th < courage nnd desire to fight. But half ol the troops depended on to defend the cltj are mllltla nnd raw recruits , most of when have never fired a gun. Business In tht city In many lines Is nt a complete stand still and many of the shops und stores ar. closed. All the cigar factories have shu down because there wns no way of shlpplni their cigars. The large Henry Clay clgai factory closed two weeks ago , but Is divid ing $2,000 a week among Its employes There Is fresh meat In the city for scvera days yet and selling on the 3d Inst. at Cl which Is not ver < cents n pound In silver , dear under the existing circumstances am considering that the Spanish silver has de cllnod almost 50 per cent below our cur rcncy. The prices on all kinds of provl slons with a few exceptions had only bcei raised about 30 per cent. Condensed mill was selling at $1.20 a tin. There are plent ; of provisions In the city for at least a montl nnd the government will probably regulati the prices so that they will not go mucl higher. So far there has been little suffering fron hunger except among the reconcentradb and they are In. very bad shape and man ; will , dlo ot starvation , oven If Havana I Captured within the next two weeks. Thcr were 1,000 bags of corn meal and 140 boxc of salt pork , with clothes and medicines , li the store houses consigned to General Le for the reconcentrados , but General Arolas the general , of division In command of th defenses of the city , embargoed these an turned them over to the commissary department partment of the army. The city haa beei In semi-darkness over since the bombard ment began , as the electric lights are no lighted and along the shore the gas light are not lit. Every afternoon the open spac about Queen's battery and also the Bat ! houses at the west of the Prado are thronge with thousands of people watching the ship on guard-before the city. The usual protnn nado on the shore at the foot of Prado strec cannot bo approached on account of the rid pits and entrenchments that have bee placed there. A number of the schooner " that have been seized have "been capture five or six miles off Morro nnd within plal sight of the throngs on shore. It Is need less' to say that the remarks were anythln but complimentary to tlw Americans. Th Spaniards are greatly Incensed because th Spanish lleot does not como over to brca the blockade nnd everybody was conflder that It would surely appear on the secon of May , which Is a great Spanish holldaj and thnt they would have another gre.i victory to celebrate. They were greatly disappointed , bu made no demonstrations. All anyone hate to do to get ono of them wftg to ask whet Is the squadron. Absolutely no authenti news from the outstdo world hna been put llBhcd for days and they are completely IE norant of what Is going on In Spain. General Blanco has done everything pos slblo to try to persuade the Insurgents t Join Issues with the Spaniards against th Americans. He Issued a proclamation call Ing them to enlist In a battalion to t commanded by thu renegade Cuban , Cole nel Joan Tana , but they would not bll and he bad to glvo It up. Every evening the parks extending alon the I'arado from Montu street to La Punt are filled with the now recruits drlllln and great enthusiasm and patriotism ai shown. Small pox , which has been raglu for some tlmo in small towns outside i the city , has apparently been brought Inl th city by the troops and In the last to days many cases have broken out In Hi van a. Regla and Gunnabacoa. Nevorthulei the present death rate Is lower than bus been any tlmo in the last two year Thcro Is very litUe fever. There are n fe cases in the military hospital la Regla. All places of amusement were closed c the night the blockade began. ThoAlbU theater tried once since to glvo a perforn ance , but played to empty houses. Ev the notorious Alharabra has been unab to draw people und now has been close until the trouble Is over. Ono great dlffe ; once could bo noticed about the city at that was thu lack ot the odlcers about tl cafes and restaurants. Apparently thi have had to attend to their business.

WASHINGTON , May 8. Unfortunately for the historian , the records ot the Navy de partment do not afford much data as to the character of the ofllcers nnd men of the Unltod States navy. For departmental pur poses It suffices to keep an accurate acount ot only a few of the facts connected with the date ot appointment of an officer or the en listment of n sailor and a collection of dates to Indicate their progress In the naval serv ice. Thus , It Is not possible to secure from official sources any Information as to the personal qualities or peculiarities ot the men who are reported to have been wounded on the Baltimore In the engagement with the Spanish fleet and forts at Cavlte. The facts disclosed by the record as to these men are about as follows : Lieutenant Prank Woodruff Kellogg was born In Wnterbury , Conn. < July 20 , 1857.

Woodford , United States minister to Spain , arrived on I a Touralno this morulug and left for Washington this afternoon. I < a Touralne also had on board a number of the attaches of the Unltod Statpfl legation at Madrid , Including George Stanford Sickles , flrst secretary of the legation , Cnptnln T. II , Bliss , Colunpl Kellogg , military attache , and Captain C. L. Dyer , naval attache. Be sides these were Shu Ting , secretary of the Chinese legation at Madrid , accompanied by lion So , also of the legation. " * A reception committee from the Union League club and U. S. Grant post 327 , Grand Army of the Republic mot General Woodford at quarantine and accompanied him to this city. General Woodford declined to bo Interviewed by reporters , saying ho was still In the diplomatic service ot the government nnd could say absolutely noth ing for publication. Mr. Sickles , when Informed ttmt cable dis patches enld the train on which the mem bers of the legation hail come from Madrid to Paris had been attacked by a mob , nnd that stones had been thrown at the party , said : "Well , some things were thrown nt the train , but the demonstration was not of a sorloUB character. A number of students , not a largo number , had gathered nt Vallndolld , nnd cried 'Long Live Spnln , ' and n few othpr patriotic cries. They were not directed against us particularly , I assure you , but were the result of a patriotic feel ing on their part. A few windows In ono of the cars next to the party were broken , but none of us were Injured , no ono at nil was hurt. While at Madrid wo were treated with the utmost courtesy. " When asked how It happened that Minister Woodford had received his passports pre vious to his handing to the Spanish govern ment the ultimatum of the United States Mr. Sickles said : "Wo rather expected that ; at least wo were not surprised when the passports ar rived , as wo knew that when the Spanish minister nt Washington received his papers the Spanish cabinet would probably Issue ours to us and thereby sever nil diplomatic relations. But any further Information I cannot give. " W. G. Cannon of Denver , vtho had been traveling abroad , was another passenger. Ho said , he was forced to return to this country as he could not continue through Spain during the present state cf affairs. In Paris , Mr. Cannon Bald , the feeling Is most bitterly anti-American. Every person who Is thought to be an American Is elbowed off the sidewalks , jostled by the crowds and everything possible done to show the an tipathy of the French. Petty annoyances are practiced. For Instance , the street cars will not stop to take on American passen gers , rates of exchange In money In most cases are exorbitant and small purchases are not encouraged by many of the shop keepers except at prices three or four times their value , Bishop John L. Spaldlng of Pcorla said thu feeling of the French toward the Amer icans wns Intensely hostile. Ho said he un derstood that ono ot the reasons for this was that eight-tenths of the public debt of Snnln was held bv the French people , and that the latter country owned nearly all of the railroads In operation In Spain. Shu Tins , secretary of the Chinese lega tion at Madrid , was asked as ; trr his trip to this country. Ho said ho was en route to Washington to report to his country's min ister there , and would probably remain there until all hostilities between this coun try and Snaln have ceased. Asked us to the feeling of his country as to the present situation , he said : "My country Is In favor of the United Stales. Wo have been friendly for many years , and will continue to be so.

A prominent Spaniard , In an Interview , discredits the presence ot the Alfonso XIII or other Spanish battleships In these waters. He saya the Spanish fleet will come en masse not In sections If nt all ; but ho believes that Spain does not Intend to prose cute naval operations In the West Indies , preferring to Induce the American fleet to attack her In her own waters , where she will have the advantage of a secure basis , while holding the Americans at n similar disadvantage as at the Philippines. Ho saya the entire Spanich fleet will bo mobilized In homo waters. Moreover , Spnln does not believe the United States seriously contem plates military occupation In Culm prior to n decisive naval combat. For this reason Spain Is making ovcry effort to win a naval victory. Spain thinks this Is more certalu In homo than In American waters.
