Carted by the Minnesota volunteers) and
ths Twenty-third regulars. The Utah bat
tery's guns were too heavy to move through
tb* awampsL
Tb* march waa along the Paslg road
an the right ot the River Paslg, where
tha fleet could give no assistance. At
ths Junction with the Clngalon road th*
vanguard cauie without warning upon a
strong Spanish entrenchment. Suddenly
the enemy rained a deadly Are upon th*
Americans, killing two men ot the Astor
Battery, First Sergeant Holmes and Second
Sergeant Crimmlns, and one Minnesota
Waa, Private Patterson, at the same tlm»
wounding a score ot others.
Sergeant Crimmlns, after he was shot,
atarted for hi* gun, fired It, and dropped
dead beside th* piece.
The Astor Battery was forced to fall
bask from the murderous Ore temporarily,
leaving two guns. But the reserve*, under
Colonel Ovenshtne, came up promptly and
with their support the Aston charged the
enemy with only revolver* for weapon*,
quickly regained their guns and put them
Into action again with increased valor.

Th* Spanish Loss
Th* Spanish loss Is estimated at not less
than 200, including both killed and wounded
and In the neighborhood of 8000 captured.
Vast quantities of military and naval
stores were seised.
The casualties on the American side were
confined to the land side. Not a man on
the fleet was Injured.
Through flve lines of entrenchments ex
tending for two miles, the enemy was
driven In a panic to the walled portion ot
Manila. This the Spaniards surrendered.
As the Stars and Stripes were raised over
tha official residence of the Governor, Cap
tain-General Jaudenes burst Into tears,
and his suite hid their faces ln their hands.
Almost Impregnable fortifications had been
Stormed, Including four blockhouses and
Innumerable street blockades. All were
carried with the pluck and valor char
acteristic of the Americans. In General
Greene's brigade the Colorado and Califor
nia volunteers and the Eighteenth regulirs
drove the Spaniards back ln panio. East
and West vied In deeds of bravery.
Beginning the Battle
The soldiers knew on Friday night that
an attack was to be made.
The reveille was sounded at 4 o'clock.
Th* troops arose singing and cheering.
For weeks they had been encamped In
swamps or lying in ditches filled with wa
ter, exposed to tropical rains. They had
waited patiently for the order to attack
and when it cam* the demonstrations were
unanimous along the lines.
A heavy rain set in as tha troops left
camp. The men marched two miles ln mud
ever shoe tops to the entrenchments. Each
carried two days' rations and 150 car
tridge*.
The American entrenchments extended
from the beach on the left 1500 yards in a
.northeast line, terminating ln a rice
'swamp. Th* ground waa covered with wa
ter, bamboos and rank vegetation.
The enemy's trenches varied from 300
to 100 yards. The one In front was 500
yards.
To tb* east of the beach is tne Manila
read and I*oo yard* away Is th* Pasay
read. Both road* passed through ths Unes
Into th* city. Almost Impassable swamps
It* between the road*.
General Greene's brigade occupied the
ttft from the beach across th* Manila road
to the swamp. General McArthur'■ bri
nd* bad th* right on both side* of th*
Fast? road. Directly in front of General
FRIEND OF THE SICK SOLDIERS
Kiss Helen Gould, Who Is Devoting Her Time and Money to Aiding ln tha
Care of the Sick at Montauk Point
McArthur was a Spanish battery and a
blockhouse.
The troops arrived ln position on the
lints at 8:30 a.m. Four battalions of re
serves held the Pasay road and the general
reserve, five full battalions back of Gen
eral Greene held the territory between
the beach and the Manila road.
The monitor Monterey steamed slowly
across the bay ln front of Manila. The
flagship Olympla. the cruiser Raleigh and
the gunboat Petrel followed.
The enemy had two lines of entrench
ments tn front of General Greene. Back of
these lines was Rio Cingalon, a small
stream. Next beyond was the powder
magazine, an ancient fortress, mounting
one six-Inch gun. Immense sand walls and
trenches surrounded the fortress on the
south and seaward sides.
General Anderson was ln command of the
division, which was composed of two bri
gades.
Suddenly, at 9:80 a.m., the Olympla open
ed Are with her starboard five-Inch guns
at a range of 4000 yards. The troops cheered
and waved their hats. The first shots fell
short, but again and again the guns roared
and the projectiles fell closer and closer
to the enemy's stronghold.
The Raleigh and Petrel, covered with fhe
national colors, tried their five-Inch and
slx-lnch guns at 3500 yards. Shell after
shell burst ln the fort and drove the Span
lards panic-stricken toward Manila.
Every shot was marked by debris hurled
high ln the air.
Soon the enemy deserted the trenches In
front of General Greene, but ran oft to the
right Into the bamboo swamps. Then they
began guess work. Two shots from the
battery ln the magazine was the only re
ply given to the Beet's Are. Both were 300
yards short.
The gunboat Callao and the launch Bar
celo advanced within 1000 yards and began
sending a deadly hall from their rapid-fire
and machine guns. By this time the fort
ress was deserted and tho fleet was sig
naled to cease firing.
Orders to Advance
Then the orders to advance were given.
The Colorado troops formed in column
with their flag flung to the breese and
dashed Into the Rio Cingalon, wading
waist deep. The Callfornlans followed.
The enemy's Mausers began to crack in
the bushes ln front and on the left, but
the shooting was wild. The Colorado men
ran up lo the fort and took possession
Private Phoenix climbed to the ramparts
and pulled down the Spanish flag, and as
he was raUlng the American standard was
shot dead.
Thereupon Sergeant Richard O. Holmes
seized the flag and ran it up on the pole.
The Colorados, Callfornlans and the
Eighteenth Infantry drove the Spaniards
through the streets of Malate. The enemy
threw away guns and ammunition In the
flight. Their trenches were filled with
Mauser cartridges.
The troops followed them, catching the
Luneta battery and chasing the enemy
into the walled city.
General Greene passed around the walled
city and took Benodo, on the north side of
the Paslg river, where he estnbllsheTl his
headquarters. Meanwhile General Mac-
Arthur's brigade, over on the right wing,
was having the severest kind of fighting.
Two of the igurs of the Utah battery
opened on Blockhouse No. 14 and soon
knocked It Into splinters. Then the
troops advanced toward the city, the Astor
battery ln the lead, and as previously de
scribed had the hottest fighting of the day
at the Junction of the Cingalon road.
The Spanish soon retreated, and General
Mac Arthur entered the city and establish
ed headquarters In Malate.
The insurgents followed up the advance
of our troops. An attempt was made to
keep them out of the city, but it was found
Impossible. Thousands entered In com
panies, took possession of empty houses
and began pillaging.
Malate and Ermita, the fashionable resi
dence district, were deserted. The troops
scattered and stopped the Insurgents pil
laging as far as possible, but complaints
continue to come in.
Spain's Foolishness
MADRID, Aug. 19, 5 p.m.—The govern
ment has resolved to Insist that the cap
itulation of Manila after the signing of the
protocol shall have no effect ln the pence
negotiations unfavorable to Spain.
In any event, the government holds that
the oapltulatlon having been signed by the
commander of the town does not entail
the surrender of the whole of the Philip
pines.
All tho Indications are that the peace ne
gotiations will be prolonged. The oppos
ing factions are redoubling the agitation
for convoking the Cortes, and It Is said
that Senor Sagasta begins to hesitate, al
though he shares the opinion of Duke Al
modovar da Rio, the Foreign Minister, as
to the Inconvenience Involved In the meet
ing of the Cortes and a series of debates
during the discussion of peace terms. It
la supposed the Cortes will meet after the
' election to the Councils-General, about the
| middle of next month.

A NEW FOREIGN POLICY
MADE NECESSARY BY THS WAR
WITH SPAIN
EXPERTS IN CONFERENCE
One Thing Agreed on Is the Early
Construction of tha Nicar
agua Canal
Associated Frees Special Wire
SARATOGA, N. V., Aug. 19— The'natlon
al conference on the foreign policy of the
United States was opened here today with
an address by Henry Wade Rogers of Chi
cago, chairman of the Committee of ar
rangements. Mr. Rogers says that the
conference was called to consider some of
the momentous questions In the history of
the republic. He spoke of the war and re
turned prayerful thanks for the peace
now at hand. While peace has arrived, he
said, that there were many serious prob
lems to be considered.
Ho referred,' t» the close friendship be
tween America and Great Britain, which
would probably lead to International arbi
tration and finally to universal peace. The
speaker spoke favorably of the Nicaragua
Canal, which, he argued, should be built
and controlled by the United States gov
ernment. The canal will shorten the dis
tance by water to San Francisco by 10,000
miles. A reference to the trip of the bat
tleship Oregon elicited hearty applause.
Mr. Rogers said that the principal prob
lem before the present conference was that
of territorial expansion, on which many
distinguished men of national reputation
hold widely different views. Indirectly,
he referred to the positions respectively
held by the expansionists and the antl
expanslonlsts. Whether we should annex
the colonies that are loot to Spain, or to
control them by carpet-bag government
is a problem that has become the most
serious one to Americans, who should
ponder wisely over It in order not to make
a mistake. Commercial Interests urge
that we should adopt a colonial system, ssld
Mr. Rogers, but business slone ought not
to control our conduct.
The question of the Nicaraguan Canal
was taken up and Warner Miller of New
York took the platform. He briefly spoke
of his persistent advocacy of the canal.
Events of the past three months demanded
the immediate construction, and he be
lieved all Americans were now universally
In favor of It, as also all of Europe. He
spoke of the numerous surveys made of
every proposed route to pierce the isthmus,
and said the route by the way of
the Nicaragua Canal has received the
greatest consideration, as both feasible and
desirable.
Mr. Miller gave the history of the Nicar
agua route, beginning with the administra
tion of General Grant down to the present
time. Had not the canal treaty been block
ed by antagonistic legislation ln years ago
the canal would have already been built
and now ln actual operation. Financial
distress for a number of years also hin
dered tne work. Distinguished Senators
have for years urged the building of the
canal, but Congress did not act favorably
upon It. The Nicaragua route Is looked up
on as the most feasible and far more prefer
able than that of Panama. The canal
.can be built for from »100,000/XK> h» 1140,
--000,000, as shown by statements made by ex
perts.
Is the canal desirable? That the canal
would reduce the distance between New
York and San Francisco ten thousand
miles is alone a sufficient answer ln the
affirmative. The railways and canals of the
country have made all sections accessible,
and available, and have Increased the
wealth of the United States. Railroads
have been built ln advance of the population
and have carried emigrants to the West
ern plains, where there Is now a teeming
population developing the broad areas.
Mr. Miller referred to several canals that
have materially aided tn opening up the
country. The Nicaragua canal would alone
save us ten thousand miles, and would be a
igreat outlet for those states on the Pacific
Coast. The continent Is grid-Ironed with
transcontinental roads, but these do not
alone afford the advantages that could be
secured by a canal. It Is a question of oheap
transportation, and the Nicaraguan canal
would solve the problems. Within ten years
atter the completion of the canal the pop
ulation of the I'acltlc States will have In
creased to ten millions. One of the best
results of the Spanish-American ,war is
that it will compel the building of the Nic
aragua canal. The entire morning session
was devoted to a discussion ot the Nicar
aguan canal.
The annexation problem was taken up at
the afternoon session. Carl Schurz of New
York spoke at length, giving the views of
the anti-expansionists, whose cause he ad
vocated. He was opposed by Judge Gross
cup of Chicago, who is an earnest expan
sionist.
Judge Grosscup said ln part:
"I am among those who believe that the
people of the United States without breach
of faith to the promises of our past or se
rious danger to the expectation of our
future, hold permanently all, or a portion,
of the territory that has been occupied by
our troops during the progress of the war.
I am ready to go a step further and assert
that the obligations of our duty toward
mankind, and especially toward the partic
ular peoples who have been drawn within
the sphere of our operations and to the
future usefulness of oruselves, demand
that we should permanently retain so much
of these captures of war as are needed to
round out the moral purposes for which
It was inaugurated and the greater destiny
on which as a nation we are about to
enter.
"Four months ago the eyes of the natton
were habitually turned inwardly upon it
self. The industries and commerce of this
continent monopolized us. Our policies
were the policies of America alone—run
ning too frequently, particularly ln their
financial and commercial phases, Into a
thing apart from the corresponding sys
tems of the world. The smoke of battle
has led us out from these confining
boundaries to the mountain spur we now
occupy. There Is moral elevation In a
wide outlook. As a people, we for the first
time look clearly over the empires of the
earth without the sacrifice of righteous
ness or honor, but as the ministers of both,
the Invitation comes to take our share In
the opportunities and responsibilities of
this wider Held. The Immediate question,
the one that by Its solution will either
bring us ln or bar us otTt of this larger
national sphere, relates* to the permanent
occupation of our Spanish conquests. The
true question Is not whether Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines are lntrlnslcal-
ly worth the responsibilities Incurred by
ownership, Whether their commerce and
resources will counterbalance the new
dangers that their acquirement would la
traduce Into our political system, for I see
behind thera In fhe horizon toward which
we are heading, looming up from the Pa
cific tn mountainous Interest and oppor
tunity, against which the outlines of the
Philippines are but a handspeck. some
thing more than islands, nothing less tban
a continent.
"Within Asia lies the Interest and oppor
tunity that by its largenese dwarfs every
other prospect. I favor the acquisition of
Porto Rico, partly because the moral pur
pose of this war demands that It should no
longer be a political plague spot ln the
otherwise purified Caribbean sea. but
chleflv because It is at the gateway to the
Caribbean, a sea that, when the commerce
of Asia is fully developed and the Nic
araguan canal opened, will, from both
a naval and commercial view, become the
most Important water on the face of the
globe I favor the acquisition of Hawaii
and I favor the acquisition of tho Philip
pines, or as much of them as may be
needed, solely because ln the new career
of commercial activity upon which, 1
trust, we are about to enter, we need clear
across the Pacific a line of naval stations
and home ports, stations In every sense our
own, carrying under the soil the American
title and over It the American flag.
"I favor the retention of the Philippines,
or at least a part of ffiem, that they may
stand as a tangible, continuing demonstra
tion of the physical presence of the repuTi
llo in Asiatic waters. The value of these
conquests is not ln their territory, nor
their resources, separately considered, but
In the fact that as an entirety they con
stitute a chain precisely adapted to the
expanded sphere ln which we are to enter.
I care little for the links individually, but
everything for the chain that will hence,
forth hold us to our opportunities ln the tar
east."
Judge Grosscup declared that In his Judg
ment the most Interesting and Important
of our future foreign policy was involved
In the immediate future of Asia. "The
break up ln the current of Asiatic life Is at
hand," he declared, "and the gates are
opening upon a market the full magnitude
of which has not yot dawned upon the
world. The far-seeing statesmen of Eu
rope appreciate the situation and far-see
ing America must soon compass It."
In conclusion, Judge Grosscup declares
that the course of the nation was clear. If
the American people are earnest In their
purpose to participate in the development
of the east, he said, they need these Islands
as strategic points and as an Integral part
of the naval force. Without a naval dis
play, he asserted, the country can never
secure Its proper share ln the commerce
of the east or protect It after It Is ob
tained.
William Dudley Bull of Indiana tonight
made a lengthy and strong address tn favor
of territorial expansion. Congressman
Frederick H. Gillett of Massachusetts

CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES
Steps Taken to Save Money Wherever
Possible
WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.—Retrench
ment ln nearly all branches of the army is
following close upon the cessation of hos
tilities. Notably is this the case in tho
ordnance, quartermaster and engineer bu
reaus, where the need of the supplies re
quired and the men employed for the exi
gencies of war no longer exists. In the
ordnance bureau the force at the various
arsenals is to be reduced in all cases where
this can be accomplished without detri
ment to the service.
The quartermaster's department is dis
pensing as rapidly as possible with such ot
the transports as were chartered and for
which there Is now no necessity. Consid
erable labor Is Involved ln this work, as a
board of survey has to be appointed to de
termine the various inclde'ntal questions
that arise pending the return of the vessels
to their owners.
In the engineer's department the serv
ices of electricians, mechanics and labor
ers engaged ln the work of harbor and river
mine defenses and of boatmen employed to
patrol the adjacent waters to warn ap
proaching craft of their danger also are
being discharged as rapidly as Is consistent
with the good of the service.
THE NEW WARSHIP
Wisconsin Patriots Preparing for the
Launching Ceremonies
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 19.—At a meeting
of the Battleship Commission at the Pflster
Hotel all the members, consisting of Sena
tor Stebblns of Waunakee, Dr. Reynolds of
Geneva Lake and Julius Beyer of Milwau
kee, were present. It was expected that the
committee would at fhla time seleot the
young lady who Is to stand sponsor for trie
battleship Wisconsin In the launohlng next
November. The commission, however, ad
journed without coming to any decision.
Candidates are coming in from every
quarter, and the members find they will
have a heavy task on their hands. The
character of the present which the State
will make to the ship, when she goes into
commission was discussed, and It was de
cided not to present a library, as has been
suggested, but to select the usual conven
tional silver service.
In addiiton to this, however, the State
will give the battleship a handsome bronze
badger, the symbol of Wisconsin, with the
State motto of "Forward" placed over it.
The committee will meet the last Friday
in September to decide who shall christen
the ship.
