DEFEAT COMPLETE.
Dewey's Ultimatum to Cnptitln flenrrnl
Aligustl.
London, May 3. Tho Madrid corre
spondent of the Times, describing Suil-
duy's engagement nt Manila, says: Tho
Olympla, the Hoston, the Halelgh, tho
Concord, the Petrol nnd the Monocacy,
entered the bay under cover of dark
ness by tho smaller nnd safer Uo-
cachica channel. The forts of Cor-
regitlor Island gave the alarm by firing
ou the Intruders, but they seem to
hnve inllicted no serious damage. Tho
American squadron moved up the bay,
and at 3 o'clock in the morning ap
peared beforo Cavlte. Hero, lying
under tho shelter of tho forts, was tho
Spanish squadron.
Admiral Montejo, a few days heforo,
went to Sublc bay to look for the
enemy, but learning that they wero
vastly superior in force had prudently
returned and placed his ships under
tho protection of the forts. This was
his only chance of meeting the enomy
on something like equal terms, and It
did not suffice.
Soon tho Americans opened fire,
Tho Spaniards replied vigorously, anil
tho combat continued without Inter
ruption for four hours, during which
the Don Antonio do Ullea was sunk,
the Castllla and Mindanao wero set on
lire, nnd tho Itciua Maria Christina
and the Don Juan do Austria wero
seriously damaged. One or two of tho
smaller craft wero scuttled by their
crews to escape capture. Others took
refuge in a small neighboring creek,
emptlng into Baker bay, where pre
sumably the American ships were un
able to follow them. Hut not one sur
lendercd. It Is said that the burning of the
Spanish vessels was caused by tho use
of petroleum bombs which were
thrown by the American vessels. Thesa
bombs also set ou fire a number of ua
tivo huts at Manila during tho en
gagement. Captain Cadarso, of tho cruiser Iteina
Maria Christina, who was killed ou
tho bridge of his vessel, was one of tho
most brilliant olllcers in the Spanish
navy. His ship was a model of order
and efficiency. Ho road and wrote a
gteat deal, especially with reference
to naval aud colonial matters, and was
so outspoken that ho often camo Into
collision with tho authorities.
An unconfirmed dispatch from Mad
rid places tho Spanish loss In tho bat
tlo of Manila at 400 killed and a largo
number wounded. The American loss
is not stated, though it is asserted that
tho American ships wero badly dam
aged.
Little additional news has arrived
from Manila, but tho cardinal fact is
that Commander Dowcy is now in pos
session of Manila bay, and can cor
tainly take possession of Corrogldot
Island, oven if ho finds difficulty in
effectually capturing Manila Itself,
bwlng to tho absonco of a necessary
landing force. Having thus secured a
naval baso, ho will have no difficulty
In securing supplies of coal. This is
a mero question of money and or
ganization. Tho holllgercnt who Is

coal contraband is no ohstaclo to pri
