* When the enemy's squadron was

of Manila. At last these ships had

as they pleased.
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

themselves In repairing Injuries until 10
o'clock, when they began a second attack

on the coast to secure the defense of the

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.

mond P. Hobson, of the flagship New

him. sailed the collier Merrlmac Into
the channel of the harbor at SanUagot de
Cuba, on June 3. last. and sunk her
there, were surrendered by the Spanish
military authorities to-day. in exchange
for prisoners captured by the American
force*
Hobson and his men were escorted
through the American lines by CaptainChid

awaiting them. 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

cheers of hlf? comrades, which were reechoed
by the crews of a dozen transports
lying nearby.
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.

lungs; cough set in and finally terminated
in Consumption. Four Doctors
gave me Up, saying I could live but a
short time. I gave myself up to my
Savior, determined if I could not stay
with my friends on earth, I would meet
my absent ones above. My husband waa
advised to get Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption. Coughs and Colds.
I gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles.
It has cured me, and thank God I
am saved and now a well and healthy
woman." Trial bottles free at Logan
Drug Co.'s Drug Store. Regular size
50c and $1 00. Guaranteed or price refunded.
