It appears (bal General Monet was not killed, as reported, but has managed to reach Manila bringing the Governor General's wife and family with him. They went overland from Macabebe to Pampanga and from thence by canoe to Maella.

At one point they were ordered to stop and on refusing to do so were fired upon, the rebels -afterwards parining them into the open bly, where the small canoe was almost swamped in the quails, but they managed to reach Mazlia although acarly starved.
The Spaniards are now strongly posted on the otkirts of the town and also along the whole length of the condult leading to the waterworks. The coadult they probably told on sufferance, as the rebel pickets swarm everywhere and could cally rald the position and destroy the condult, but being extremely anxious to conciliate the neutrals they retrata from dolag so on fccount of the horrible privations that such an act would cause in Manila.

AMERICAN COLONIAL POLICY.

Lieut. Richmond P. Hobion, of the flagship New York, with a volunteer créw of soven men, under cover of darkness, after the moon had ret shortly after 3 a'clock this morning, sau the big colller Merrimac in the throat at the harbour, wang her broadside to across the channel, and then exploded and sank bor. Easign Powell, also of the New York, with a steam launch, crept close under the guns of Moro Castle to take off the heroes of the Merrimac, and re- mained there pluckily stil daylight discovered his position without seeing a trace of the far rimac's during crew.
Cushing's memorable feat in blowing up the Confederate ram Abimarie is over-matched by Fabzon's act, for Cushing' men crept up Albermarle sound at midnight, and fell upon an unsuspecting fee. Hobson took his ship, over 305 leet long, into the very faces of the batteries, with the enemy at the guns, and blew it up, Discovery at the end of his journey was inevit able and death was almost certain.. No nama
of fame then kie. therefore can be written higher on war's templo
When Rear Admiral Sampson Joined Com modore Schley on Wednesday, the latter had
already ascertained that it would be impossible
for the fleet to crawl into the rat hole in which the Spanish fleet had taken refuge. It was then that Hobson conceived the scheme of sinking the big collier across the harbour entrance, and asked to be allowed to execute it himself. Hobson was so entheslastic that his confidence was infections, and the Admiral finally reluct anly gave his capment. -
When the Admiral's consent was obtained, Hobson became Impatient of all delay, and that very night, Wednesday, after the moon went down, he set the ilme for the event.
Volunteers were called on all the ships of the deer, and to the e edit of the American may be It said few filached. Whole cheesing crews step- ped forward at the summons for the hazardous daly: Aboal 305 men on board the New York, 170 on board the Town and a like proporites frem the other ships volunteered, but Lieut. Hobson decided to risk as few ilyes as possible. He picked three from the Mèo York and three from the Marrimac. The latter were grees in the service, but they knew the ship and had pleaded hard to go, and one man stowed away on board the collier.
In the meantime, the ships of the first hed drawn in until the New York, Massachusetts. Texas and Marbishsad mere nearly three m'to of Mero Castle. The firing of the gons cas- tlased, but the gunnery seemed to grow worse, until the Spanlarda became tired..
Up to the Hma the Associated Press brat left the feet this morning the Admiral had not given any orders for the bombardment of Santiago de Cubs's forts, but the spirit of revenge seemed to bang over the firef, and by this time Moro Caitle and the Spanish batteries may be in rulas. -----
