Amorletn crulwr relumed U o lro from
tho fort on entering but was ordered to
desist by the flagship Commodore Dewey
having tho weightier huilness of finding
the Spinlxa fleet on hind
In tho absence of a breeze when tho lut
tlo began the ships were foon surround < l
in smoke making It momentarily hirrttr
to judge exactly how the fight was going
When it was over the surviving Spaniards
lost 110 time In removing themselves knd
their dad from tho npldly blnklng hulls
leaving hchlad all their personal property
and valuables
The only loss on the merlcnn vonses
was of Chief Englncei Randall of the Mc
culloch who died from heart troubles ot
npoplexy as tho squadron was cnterlug the
harbor Mo was burled at tea
When the McCulloch left Manila the
forts were maintaining i desultory but In
effectlvo flro on tho squadron Meantime

tho American fleet had surrounded Manila
on the land side and were exchanging1 a
