It wae juet eight o’clock, a bright u.o00n- light night, bat the warships parsed Cor~ regidor Island without a sign being given than the Spaniards were aware of its approach.
Not until the flagship was a mile be- yond Corregidor was a gua fired. Then one heavy shot went screaming over the Raleigh and the Olympia, foliowed by a second, which fell turther astern. he Raleigh, the Concord and the Boston re~ plied, the Corcord’s shells exploding apparently exactly inside the shore battery, which fired no more.
Our squadron slowed down to barely stearage way and the mea were allowed w sleep alongside their guns.
Commodore Dewey bad timed our arrival so that we were within five miles of the city of Manila at daybreak. We then aighted the Spanish equadron, R a- Admiral Montejo, commanding, otf Cavite —(pronouneed Kanveetay Bay with accent en the **vee’’).
Here the Spaniards had a well equipped navy yard called Cavite Arsenal, Admiral Mont: jo’s flag was flying on the 3,500 tous protected cruiser, Reina Christina.
The protected cruiser Cascilla, of 3,200 tone, was moved ahead, ond astern to the port battery and to seaward were the cruisers Don Jusn de Austria, Don Antonio de Ulloa, Islade Cuba, isla de Lozon, Quirot, Marquis del Onero and General Lezox.
These ships and the flagship remained woder way during most of the action.
MOVED TO THE ATTACE.
With the United States flag flying at all their masiheads, our ships moved to the attack iv line ahead with a speed of eight knots, first passing 10 front of Manile, where the «ction was begun by three batteries mounting guns powerful evough to send a she!! over us at a distance of ive miles. The Concord’s guas boomed out a reply to these batteries with two shots. No more were fired because Commodore Dewey
could not engage with these bateres without sending death and des'ruction ino the crowded city.
As we neared Cavite two very powerful submarine mines were exploded shead of the flag-hip. This was at six minutes past tive o'clock. The Spaniards evidently bad misjudged our position. Immenee volumes of water were thrown high in the air by these desireyers, but no barus was done to our ships.
Commodore Dewey had fought Swith Farragut at New Orieaneand Mobile Bay, where be bad his firet experiesce with tor~ pedoes. Not knowing howmasy more mines might be ahead, hestilikept on without faltering. No other{minesjexploded, however, and it is believed that the Span- jards had joaly thesetwoin place. Unly afew minutes after the shore battery at Cavite hurled over the flag-hip @ shot that nearly hit the battery in Maniila, but soon the guns got @ better range, and the shelle began to strikenear usor burst close aboard from both the batteries and the
these.
