SPANISH STORY OF MANILA
ruling Wiihia I he lily ; lK-wcy Ap
jiiiahJ.
When the enemy's Ptpiadroti wua
htcd, in p.-tfeel line of ballle, tliroiliib
the clouds of the mity dawn on the
moruin of May 1st, gloom and Mirprise
were general among the people of Manila,
At hist these ships had ut rained their
boldiiens to the point of appearing on our
uonst and defying our butteries, which
showed tinre eouragn and valor than
effect when they opened lire on tbesijuad
ron.
It needs something more than courage
to make projectiles penetrate iu
deed, it does. The inequality
of our batteries compared villi
the American sipiadron, which alarmed
the inhabitants of Manila, at 5 o'clock in
the morning, was enough to transform
the tramniil character of our tropical
temperament, While ladiesnod ebildrcD
in carriages or on foot fled in fright to
neck refuge in the outlying nuburbs and
adjacent villages around the capital from
the dangers multiplied by their imagina
tions, every man, Jrom the must stately
personage to the most bnmblc workman
merchants, mechanics, Spaniards, na
tives, soldiers, civilians all we repeat,
s Might their st iti on aud put ou their
arms, eon file, tit that never should the
enemy land at Manila, unless be passed
over their corpses, although, from the
lirst moment, the strength oftbe enemy's
armor and the power jf his guns demon
strated that his ships were invulnerable
to our energies nnd our annauients. The
hostile Mpiadron would uevi r have en
tered our bay bud not its safety been
guaranteed by ils manifest supeiiority.
The city walls, and church towers, the
roofs ot the highest buildings, nnd all the
high places convenient for observation,
were occupied by those who were not
retained by their military dutien within
the walls, on the bridges or at the advan
ced p. sis. The flighte.-d details of the
enemy's ships were eagerly noted as they
advanced toward Cavil u in a line parallel
witli the branches of Manila, us though
(hey had jut come out of 'asig river.
There was no gap in the lii e but th-
curious public hardly rciiliz id the dispari
ty between their great guns and the
pieeey. mounted 01 our fortification-.
Sotne had glasses, aud others were with
out them, but all seemed to devour wiib
their eyes the strangers, who, while biuv
re not called upon to khow (heir
omnge, siueetue range 01 their guns anil
the weakness of our batteries enabled
them to preserve immunity while Joint!
us as much harm us they pleased.
All who appreciated the impunity will)
which the hostile ships maneuvered, as if
on a harmless parade, were full of sueh
rage und desperation as belong to a brave
man who can make no use of bis courage,
ami to whom there remains no remedy
except uu honorable death raiher than
cowardly inactivity.
A soldier ol the First Battalion of
Caa lucres gazMl at the squadron sweeping
over the water, out of reach of the lire of
our batteries, looked out at (be ships and
then turned toward heaven, saying. Ml
the Holy M try would turn that sea iuto
land, the Van keen would find out how we
charge iu uouiilc tune, alio; a crouctung

"An incident which perhaps atbeted

a reporter, "was alter the battle of
llellysburg. 1 weut down there to see
what was to lie seen, and on going over

two persons digging a gl.tve, evidi hi ly lor

operations of the two witli interest. One
was a middle aged in in, and the other
was a mere boy. Bulb wore the blue

had a most sorrowful look. He tried to

heavy load oppressing him. Every now

body beside him and then wipe away a
tear. I then began to talk to the work

to the hoy, then to the corpse, and whis
