A Good Many Spaniards Killed, In cluding Commander of the 3Iaria JJelna Maria Chrlstana Spanish Accounts Tell of No American Ships Suffering. Madrid, May 1, C:30 p. m. Advices from Manila eay that the American squadron, under Commodore Dewey appeared off the Pay of Manila at , o'clock thia morning, and opened a fatrong cannonade against the Spanish squadron and forts protecting the har bor. Tho Spauish second-class cruiser, Don.'uan d3 Austria, was severely damaged, and her commander wa3 killed. Another Spanish vessel was burned. Tho Americau squadron retired, having also sustained severe damage. A second naval engagement followed, in which the American squadron again Buffered considerable loss and the Spanish warships Mindano and Ulloa were slightly damaged. The Spanish warships Mindano and LTloa were slightly damaged. During this engagement the Cavite forts main tained a steadier and stronger fire upon tho American squadron than in tho first engagement. Admiral Permejo, tho Minister of Marine, has expressed himself us highly pleased with the heroism of the Spanish marines, and has telegraphed congratu lations to Admiral Montejo and tho valorous crews of the Spanish squadron for their good conduct under lire on tho superior warships. Ollicial Spanish Repot t. Madrid, May 1, 8 p. m. The follow lowingis tho text of the official dispatch fiom theGovernorGeneralof the Philip pines lo tho Minister of War, Lieuten-ant-Uenoral Correa. as to the engage ment of Manila: "Last night, April oO, the batteries at the entrance to the fort anuounced tho arrival of the enemy's squadron, forcing a passage under the obscurity of the night. At daybreak the enemy took up positions, opening with a strong fire against Fcrt Cavite and the arsenal. "Cur fleet engaged the enemy in a brilliant combat, protected by the Cav ite and Manila forts. They obliged the enemy, with heavy loss, to manoeuvre repeatedly. At U o'clock the American squadron took refuge behind the for eign merchant shipping on the east side of the bay. "Our fleet, considering the enemy's Mipcriorit-, naturally suffered a severe loss. The Maria Christiana is on lire and another boat, believed to be the San Juan Costra, was blown up. "There was considerable loss of life. Captain Cardarazo, commaudinir the Maria Christiana, is among the killed. 1 cannot now give further details. Tho bpn it of the arm-, navy and volunteers is excellent. " Spain's C rushing Defeat. London May 1. While it is clear that the Spanish squadron has suffered u crushing defeat, the dispatches leave uucle.tr the intensely interesting ques tion whether tho Americau squadron l.as suffered material damage. Ail news thus far comes from Spanish sources; but it teems evident that CcmmodorJ Dewey has not captured Manilla. I'u less ho is able to mako another attack and capture the town, ho will be in an awkward position, with no bas0 upon which to retire and to refit. Probably, too, the United States squadron will be obliged to make for San Francisco, as the entrance to Ma nila Pay was heavily mined with tor pedoes. Commodore Dewej' displayed great pluck and daring in making for t he inner harbor. According to private advises received from Madrid, the United States cruisers Olympia, Pal eigh and two other vessels, the names ot which are not given, entered the harbor. No dispatches give details as to tho vessels actually engaged on either side. It appears to be incorrect that the American ships dually auchored behind j The neen Appeals to the Czar. j London, May 1.

Washington, May 1. An opinion, freely expressed by naval officers, is that the very decisive victory of Ad miral Dewey's fleet will mean probably au eaiiy end to the war without future naval battles of importance. The Amer ican iket is suggested now as supreme in the waters of Spain's possessions, especially in the Philippines. It was said that only by quickly yielding to our demands in Cuba could this loss possibly be aveited. Srain, it was ar gued, was confronted with the situa tion a hich promised naught save di -ater in case she elected to force more lighting. The superiority of a superior lleet has been demon- i iralcd in the Pucilic and tho same, it is contended, would be inevitable in the Atlantic in case tho clash comes. From whatever point of view considered, the policy of more lighting upon the part cf Spain, promised nothing but more Spanish misfortune. Navy officers think this view must prevail with the Span ish government and be tho end of the war, upon the basis of Cuban inde pendence to follow soon, and that, too, without further notable opportu nity of the American navy to prove its powers und distinguish itself. in the dispatches from Madrid, the statement was made that Admiral Dewey ejected a landing on tho west mdo of Manila bay for the men of his fleet, who were wounded iu the engage ments. It was suggested in official cir cles that this landing had a two fold purposo. It was not only that the wounded might have better care than the- could receive on ship board, in the face of other probable engagements, but also of carry ing out what was known to be Admiral Dewey's purpose to effect a juuetiou with tho insurgents as soon as possible. The insurgent forces eurrouud Manila on the land sides (:i tha city, and with the in tention of fcccuring control of Manila as soon as possible. As eoou as the junction of the American and insurgent forces, the one on sea and the other cn land, is effected, a demand is likely to bo made for the surrender of the city, aud in the event of a refusal, a com bined attack would be made upon it. The result of 6uch an attack in the ab seuco of a Spanish lleet aud effective shore battery, seems a foregone con clusion. No news cf a definite character is given concerning the Iosh sustained by Admiral Dewey's squadron, and it is scarcely likely, in the opinion of ex perts of tho navy, that authentic infor mation will be received until Admiral Dew ey ha.H opportunity to communi cate officially with the Department. It is regarded probable that today Ad miral Dewey tent tho revenue cuiter ?lcCulloch back to Hong Kong, with dispatches, and that the first informa tion v. ill come from that point. The distance iiom Manila to Hong Kong is n trifle over (J00 miles and it will take tho McCuiloch about two days to make the trip. No Protest by (iermany or France. Washington, Apiii ;L. It is serni otiieially stated in the highest diploma tic quarters representing Franco and German-, that no protest or representa tion of any character respecting tho operations of the American lleet at the Philippine Islands, have been made, or are likely to be made.

" At Manila Spanish Warships Were Badly Outclassed BY THE AMERICAN MEN - OF - WAR. j Cabinet At Madrid Concedes Defeat j But Do Not Lose Heart Spain's Honor 31ust Be Protected, They Say May Hold the Phllllplne Is lands. Washington, SreciaL The latest I news from Manila, while unofficial, is , generally from trustworthy sources, i The bombardment of the city began on ; the d. There was such activity that the British Consul came out to the flag : ship to interview Capt. Dewey and to see what terms could be made for a sur render. It is assumed that he was tacitly em powered to do this by the Spanish au thorities, though he was acting osten sibly in tho interest of the foreign ele ment whoso personal safety and busi ness operations were put iu serious jeopardy during the attack on the city. Such au errand, it is thought, would be more likely to be deputed to a repre sentative of England than anyone else, on the theory of the friendship of Eng land and the United States and would have a powerful influence in procuring concessions to spare Spauish dignity. It is reported that the administration will hold the Philippine islands as security foi war indemnity, which will be demanded from Spain on cessation af hostilities. "Washington. (Special. ) Persons in the confidence of the President say that the battle off Manila occurred prac tically as the administration expected. President Melviuley is greatly interest ed in tho movement cf the Spanish squadron from Capo Verdo. He does not fear an invasion of our ports. There has been no ollicial advices from Manila. Madrid, Spain, (By Cable.) The Spanish are furious over the Manila de feat and are beginning to show discon tent. Martial law will be proclaimed if hostile acts occur. Dispatches confirm tho report that not one of the Americau vessels were destroyed. Louden, (By Cable.) A dispatch to the Daily News on the Jjd from Madrid says that it is believed that Manila will be captured in the next twenty-four hours. The dispatch also confirms the report of the complete destruction of the Spanish fleet and the escape of the American warships from any serious damage. The ministers at Madrid ad mit pefeat.

Tampa Hotel, Tampa, Fla. - It ap pears to be aluiust a settled belief among army officers here that no move meat of the United States troops to ward Cuba will take place until after the meeting of the Spanish ilotiila with the boats of Bear Admiral Sampson's squadron, which is now believed to be inevitable. This may cause a delay of 6everal days beyond the time believed to have been fixed upon and it is possi ble that nearly two weeks may elapse before the movement is actually under way, a the Spanish flotilla is pot ex pected to leach Porto Pico, its supposed destination, inside of ten or twelve days from date of if Failing. Never theless everything possible is being done to put the United States troops in readiness fur immediate shipment. Plans for hospitals and all -jtmeut of surgeons have been radically com pleted. The First Infantry, one of the regiments which will be lauded iu Cuba, was put through the emergency en trenchment drill, thiowing up en trenchments with tin cups, tiu pans, or whatever was convenient, and long practice marches iu heavy marching order was given other regiments. Preparations for the lauding of a large force of native Cubans at some point within convenient reach of (ien eral Gomez's army, are being pushed to a conclusion as fustas possible How largo a force there will be, is as yet uncertain. The Cuban recruiting offices that have been opened here are fairly over whel med with applications for enlist ment and it is very probable that close to I.piMj will bo armed aud ready for service under the banner of Gomez. Two or three United States naval offi cers, thoroughly familiar with the Cuban coast are now in Tain pa for the purpose of escorting the Cuban expe dition to Cuba and wi'l remain with it until the junction with Gomez's army is effected. It is said to bo tho plan to have one or mere of the gun boats of the American lleet now iu Cuban waters meet the transport boats at some point north of Key West and protect them until the lauding is effected. CIENFUGOF.S HOMUAKBKD. The Batteries Silenced and the Town Itself Badly Damaged. A special to the New York Press from Key West says. Cienfuegos has been bombaided.
