Previous to the choral work an admirably rendered program was given by the or- chestra. A special number of interest was MncDowehi's suite No. 1 in four move- monts.

The fires starteti in it by our shells at this time were not extinguished until it sank. The three batteries at Manila had kept tip a continuous fire from the beginning of the engagement , when the fire was not returned by the squadron. The first of these batteries was situated on the south mole head at the entrance to the Pasig river.
