The Santiago do Cuba, Aug. 17. bodies of the dead Spaniards are to be cremated. Over 700 have been burned so far. Yesterday seventy bodies were to be cremated. Over two rails a dozen bodies arc stretched and across them another dozen aud about 30 corpses are stacked in an Immense funeral pile 10 feet high. The pile la then saturated with kerosena aud the torcli applied. A fall of rain put out the fire, causing the bodies to be only half burned. Around itie pile ley 3d cotHna, containing corpses in a state of decomposition. Several naked bodies were strewn on the ground in a condition of purification. Altogether about seventy and unconsumed bodies were there. The stench was terrible. This happened at a cemetery w ithin the city limits. The authorities aud the cemetery officials say it is impossible to get men to work at the cremation. Wages of a dollar a day prove no inducement to the natives to work at this gruesome toil. The seventy bodies had to be left on theearth uutil today, when the work will be continued. These seventy corpses represent two days dead from (he Spanisli camp.

The First Colorado Volunteers were the leader inthe battle at Manila. It was the Colorado boys who stormed the outer trenches aud drove the Spaniard into the second line of defense. Admiral Dewey had given General Augusti an hour's time in which to surrender, but the general refund to comply. The bombardment, which bep-aat 9:3d a, m., w as continued for two hours, and then the Americans stormed the trenches, sweeping all before them, driving all the Spaniards into the inner fortification, where the Spanish commander, seeing that further resistance was useless, hoisted the white flag and surrendered. The losses, American and Spanish, are not yet known. The Spaniards in the trenches probably numbered 3,tXH men. The American attacking force numbered 10,ooo, and the Americans were better armed, better trained and in better condition. The foreign fleets watched the bombardment with acute interest. Hie American warships engaged were the Olympia, Petrel, Raleigh, McCulloch. Huston, Monterey, Charleston and Baltimore, It is asserted by Spaniards that "the Americans lost heavily in the storming, owing to the faulty construction of their entrenchments, which the Spaniards could command from the heights mid upon which they poured I galling fire." The Spanish trenches extended around Manila at a distance of from two to four miles from the walled city, forming a circle ten miles in circumference, and it was impossible, the Spaniards say, to hold so long a line against the American attack. Admiral Dewey and General Merritt, it is reported, bad issued orders to spare all except the armed defenses ef the city, aud consequently the town is understood to have been but little damaged.
