A NAVAL SURPRISE. * When the enemy's squadron was sighted In perfect line of battle through {he clouds Of a misty dawn on the r - morning: of the first of May, gloom and surprise were general among the peopie of Manila.

Spaniards and natives, soldiers and civilians, all we repent, sought their stations and put on t- their arms confident that never should ; the enemy land In Manila unless he ? passed over their corpses. Yet from the Urst moment the strength of the r enemy's armor and the power of his guns demonstrated that his ships were r. invulnerable to our energies and our arroapients, the hostile squadron would never have entered our bay had not Its ' surety been guaranteed by its manifest ' superiority. j-.

REMARKS OP TIIE PEOPLE. All who appreciated the Impunity With which the hostile ships manoeuv* | red. as if on a harmless parade, were r full of such rage and desperation as belongs to the brave mnn who can make no use of his courage; to whom remulna no remedy excopt an honor1 able death rather than a cowardly Inactivity. A soldier of the Tlnit Battalion of Casadores crazed at the squadron k sweeping over the waters out of reach | of. the fire of our batteries, looked out ; at tho ships and then toward heaven, * saying, "If Holy Mary would turn that sea into land the Yankees would And out how we can charge in double time." And a crouching native staring out at the ships said, "Just let them come ashore and give us a whack at them." On they stood at full speed in column of battle heading for Cavite with the decision due to a sense of safety and a Arm assurance of success. THE FIGHT SEEN FROM MANILA. For more than an hour and a half the bombardment held Jn suspense thoso whose souls followed the unequal struggle, In which the ships went down with their glorious banners (lying. What was going on In the waters of Cavlte? From Manila we saw through glasses, the two squadrons almost mingled together In the clouds of smoke. This was not far from a triumph for our side, considering the weakness of our batteries. For, once alongside me enemy, the cry of "Boarders Away!" and the flash of cold steel might have enabled our devoted seamen to disturb calm In which watches and Instruments were regulating and directing those engines of destruction. In the blindness of our rage how should we paint the heroic deeds, the prowess, the waves of valor which burst forth from our men-of-war? Those who fought beneath the Spanish flag bore themselves like men, as chosen sons of our native land who never measure forces, nor yield to superior force In the hands of an enemy; who would rather die without ships than live in ships which have surrendered. To name those who distinguished themselves In battle would require the publication of the entire muster-rolls of our ships, from captain to cabin-boy. To these victorious seamen of ours we offer congratulations; laurels for the iiuintr nrntrAra forth* deml: for all. our deepest gratitude. Since we cannot re-construct the bloody scene which was exhibited last Sunday in the waters of Cavite, we will not attempt a description, which would only be a pale shadow of great deeds deserving a perpetual place In the pages of history. When the hostile squadron turned toward Cavite, the crew of the steamer "Isla de Mindanao" heard the drums beating to quarters, and answered with enthusiasm, the three rounds of cheers ( for the king, for the que^n, and for. Spain, which echoed along our line. Later, until a quarter to live, absolute Hence reigned. Everything was ready. The Idea of death was lost In ardor for the fray and every eye was fixed on the battle flags waving at our mast heads. In perfect and majestic order?why should we deny this??the nine Yankee . ships advanced in battle array. The "Olympia" bearing the admiral's 'flag, led the column followed by the other ships, steering at full speed toward Cavite. The "Olympia" opened Are- and on Instant reply came from the battery on the mole which kept on tiring at five-minute Intervals, while the Ironclad shaped her course for the "Relna Christina" and "Castllla." Into both these ships she poured a steady and rapid Are seconded by the ships which followed In her wake. Another ship which directed a heavy lire on our line was the "Baltimore" and to the cannonade went on until a quarter to eight. At that moment the "Don Juan do Austria" advanced against the enemy Intending to board the "Olympla." and If a tremendous broadside had not stopped her self-devoted charge, both ships might perhaps have sunk to th? bottom. The captain of the "Relna Christina," seeing that the resolute attempt of his consort had failed, advanced . at full speed until wltliln about two hundred yards of the "Olympia." aiming to at tack her. Then a shower or projectiles swept the bridge and decks, filling the ship with dead and wounded. Heroes and martyrs whom the nation will remember as long as it enduresh A dense column of smoke from the bow-compartment showed that an Incendiary projectile, such as the low of Ood and man prohibits, had set fire to the cruiser. The ship, still keeping up her fire on the enemy, withdrew toward the arsenal, where she was sunk to keep her from falling Into the hands of the Yankees. The desperation of the men of the "Relna Christina" was aggravated by the sight of the "Castllla" alto In a I blaze, from a similar use of Incendiary projectiles. The principal ships of our little squadron having thus been put out of action, the Yankee vessels, some of them bad[ ly crippled by the Are of our ships, nnd the batteries at Point Sangley,stood out I toward Marlveles and the entrance of the hay ceasing their Are und occupying themselves In repairing Injuries until 10 o'clock, when they began a second attack to complete their work of destruction. la th?g second assault me nre at me ; ) ^ 1 I'.Vwr^i'vih r^VW |j U^rv,\cK?j* \ .^v5 Santiago |? particularly well fitted and tho wound**) will bo at homo Inr "I DO MY OWN WOBK."

Such In broad outlines, which we cannot correct at this moment- was the naval battle of Cavlte, In which the last glimpse of our squadron showed the Spanish flag. . A thousand sensational details have ' reached us, which we would reproduce gladly, after the necessary corrections, if our pen would serve for anything except to sine the glory of these martyrs of the nation. with fuller knowledge of the facts, we can furnish our readers with many Interesting details. To-day we limit ourselves to a sketch of the grand picture which was unrolled before us on the f.rsi of May. begging our friends to excuse the defects which they may note. THE KILLED AND tVOUNDED. Killed?'The captain, chaplain, clerk, and boatswain of the "Reina Christina." Wounded?The captains of the "Castillo" and "Don Ahtonlo de UHoa;" the executive officer of the "Iteina Christina;" a lieutenant of the "Don Juan de Austria:" the paymaster of the Ulloa," the second surgeon of the "Christina," the surgeon of the "ITHoa" and chief engineers of tlio "Christina" and "Austria." VIGILAXCK. By naval authority the most careful watch was kept In the river, as well ns on the coast to secure the defense of the port. BATTERIES. The gunners of the batteries defending Manila and Cavite showed the highest degree of energy and heroism. Even' one applauds these brave artillerymen who, by their calmness and skill, did all that was possible with the guns assigned to them allowing for their deficiencies and imperfections. The battery that did most harm to the enemy was the one on Point Snngley. made up of Hontorla guns. From one of these cuns came the shot which tlic "Ponton" received, while four ahlpa | |? V?

One guu having crippled the other kept on playing, firing whenever damage could be done and avoiding waste of ammunition. To one of its shots Is attributed the hurt which turned the "Baltimore" from the fight. This gun must have greatly annoyed the Yankees, to judge by the effort they made to silence Its fire, fol- j lowing It up until six gunners bad been killed and four wounded. On this account it Is proposed to demand the bestowal of the laurel. wreathed cross of San Fernando to the j valiant gunners wbo served this battery. The Luneta battery at Manila which assailed the Yankee ships with much vigor was the object of the enemy's special attention as he stood past the fortifications of Manila, heading for Cavlte. duns were also mounted at the entrance of the bay on Corregldor and Caballo Islands, on El Fralle rock, on the south shore at Point Restlnga, and at Marlvelcs, Punta Gorda and Point laslsl on the north shore. The guns on Corregldor Island were of about sixinch calibre; similar guns were mounted on the rock and on Point Restlnga. | The other batteries had guns of small er calibre ana short range. KIND TREATMENT. The Spanish club,ever earnest In remedying misfortune, gave liberal help to the refugees who survived from our ships of war. BREAD AND WATER.

The admiral, Senor Mo n to Jo, has received a telegram of congratulation from the minister of marine who, in his hxvn name, and in the name of the queen of Spain, felicitates the navy of this archipelago, for gallant behavior on the day of Cavlte. These are the terms of the telegram referred to: which fought so heroically In the bay." NO PAPERS.

Every step of their Journey was marked by the wildest demonstrations on the part of the American soldiers, who threw aside all semblance of order, scrambled out of the entrenchments, knocked over tent guys and other camp paraphernalia In their eagerness to see the returning heroes, and sent up'cheer after cheer for the' men who had tmgaed nafelv throuorh the jaws of death to serve their country.

Hobson had little to say in resard to his experiences, except that he and his comrade* had been well treated by the Spaniards, and that they were all in excellent health.* The Spanish authorities consented this mohilng to exchange H??bson and his m.?n nnH a rruco was established for thatr jwrpose. The place selected for the exchange was under a -tree between the American and Spanish lines, twothirds of a mile beyond the entrenchments occupied by Col. Wood's Hough Riders,' near General Wheeler's headquarters, and 4n the centre of the American line. The American prisoners left the Helna Merceries hospital, on the outskirts of 'Santiago, whore they had been confined, tit 3:45 this afternoon, in charge of Major Irles, a Spanish staff officer, who speaks English perfectly. The prisoners were conducted to the meeting place on foot, but were not blindfolded. Col. John Jacob Astor and Lieutenant Mlloy, accompanied by interpreter Maestro, were in charge of the Spanish prisoners. Those consisted of Lieutenants Amelia Volez and Aurelius, a German, belonging tc? the Twentyninth regular infantry, who were captured at EI Caney on Friday last, and Lieutenant Adolfo Aries, of the First provisional regiment, one of the most aristocratic military organisations of the Spanish nrmy, and fourteen noncommissioned officers and privates. Lieut. Aries and a number of the men were wounded in the flgKt at El Caney. The Spanish prisoners were taken through the American lines mounted and blindfolded. The meeting between Col. Astor and Major Irles was extremely courteous but very formal, and no attempt was made by either to discuss anything but the matter la hand. Major Irles was given his choice of three Spanish lieutenants In exchange for Hobson, and was also Informed that he could have all of the fourteen men In exchange for the American sailors. The Spanish officers selected Lieut. Arjes, and the other two opaninu UiUWCIO Ifclv I conducted back to Juragua. It wae not then later than 4 o'clock, and just as everything was finished, and the two parties were separating. Major Irles turned and said, courteously enough, but In a tone which Indicated considerable defiance, and gave his hearers the impression that he desired hostillttas to be renewed at once: "Our understanding is, gentlemen, that this truce comes to and end at S o'clock.' Col. Astor looked at his watch, bowed to the Spanish ofllcer without making a reply, and then started back slowly to the American lines, with Hobson and his companions closely follolng. The meeting of the two parties and i the exchange of prisoner* had taken place in full view of both the American and Spanish soldiers, who were entrenched near the meeting place, and the keenest interest was taken, in the episode.

She soon responded, and In a twinkling the family was In possession of the Information that their -brave eon Richmond, who sailed the Merrimac into the harbor at Santiago, had been exchanged and was now in the hands of friends. The family was overjoyed, and for a moment tears came Into the eyes of the aged mother. Mr. Hobson then inscribed this telegram to the Associated Press: "Accept warmest thunks for your kind message. It has lifted from our minds a heavy weight of anxiety." The little town was soon informed of the good newt, and bus!new was suspended whfle the tidings were discuesed, speculation engaged in as to how s.?on Greensboro would see the hero of the Merrimac. _ DON'T 00 IT BLIND.
