By Wir to Thb Tkudgram . , Washington, Aug. 18-The follow ing was received at the . war depart ment today: . Madrid, Aug. 13 On the 7th inst. Admiral Dewty joined me in notifica tion to the Spanish cammander to re move ..the non-combatants rom the city. On the same date a reply was received expressing thanks for the hu mane sentiments , stating that the Span ish were without places of refuge for the non-combatants outside of the city. On the 9th we sent a joint note in viting attention to the suffering in store for the sick and non-combatants in tbe event that it became our duty to reduce the defenses; also setting forth: the hopeless condition of the Spanish forces, which were surrounded on all sides, with the fleet in front and no prospects "for reinforcements, and de manded the surrender as a due consid eration for humanity. On the same date we reoeived a re ply admitting the situation, but stating that the council of the defense declared the request to surrender could not be granted, but offered to consult with the government if time was granted. This was answered by a joint note de clining. On the thirteenth the land forces joined with the navy in an attack with the following results: After about half an hour's accurate shelling the enemies lines, McCarthur'a brigade on the right and Green's brigade on the left under Anderson made a .vigorous attack, carrying the Spanish works. The loss is not accurately known but is thought to be about fifty. The behavior of the troops was ex cellent, and the co-operation of the navy was most valuable. The troops advanced on the walled city upon which the white flag was shown when tbe town capitulated. Troops occupy Malateand Binondo, the walled city San Miguel and all important centers are protected. The insurgents are kept out and there is no disorder or pillage. Signed Merritt. Young Thieves Caught. Officer Scott last night arrested and placed in the calaboose the four little coons who, a few days ago, stole the gas pipes, plates, etc,, from the acad emy of music.

Wood said there -i were just as -"brave men among his hearers as Bagley and Dewey and Hobson and the other he roes of our war with Spain.- . And to illustrate the truth of his statement he Cited an instance of the bravery of one of his hearers, which he had witnessed at the battle : of the -Wilderness; and pointed to Captain C. F. Siler, who was the captain of his "old com pany. He said that whea a charge was ordered the color-bearer of the regi ment .promptly started forward, but was ai once shot dead. One of the.color guard immediately seized the falling flag and he, too, fell dead. Another of the color guard grabbed the flag, but he also was instantly killed. And then, although three men had been so quickly jkiiled with thai fatal Jag. Capt. Siler rushed to the fallen flag and waving it aloft dashed toward the enemy, calling out "Follow me, my brave men!" And ' they Idid .' follow phim to victory. This was not the only instance of Capt. Siler's bravery, as is attested by the scars of five- wounds which he Btill bears on his body.
