Thoy repented the experuueui without drawing the sontriee' fire, but at tho third time Corporal Greeley chal lenged the Filipinos and then fired, killing one of them and wounding an other. Almost immediately afterwards the Filpluoa' line from Oalooau to Santa Mesa commenced a f nsllludo, which was ineffective. Tho Nebraska, Montana mt North Duknta ontnosts renlted vig orously and held their ground until re- enforcements arrived. Tho Filipinos in the meantime con MnhvU t thrnA miiita. Oalocan.

This was supplemented by the fire of two siege guns at caiiK-caiia auu oj advancing their skirmishers from Pasco and Paudacan. The Americans responded with, a ter rible fire, but owing to' the darkeness they were unable to determine it ef f.f . Tl.o TTth JAnhi nrtillerv finally succeeded in silencing the native battery. The Third artillery aiso aia gooo wur on the extreme left. The engagement lasted over an hour.

At 2:45 there was another fusilade along the. entire line, and the United States monitor Monaduock opened fire on the enemy from off Malate. With daylight the Americans adonc ed. The California and Washington reg iments made a splendid charge and drove the Filipinos from the villages of Pasco and Santa Mesa. . The Nebraska reg iment also distinguished itself, captur ing several prisoners and ono howitzer and n vcrv Rtmncr nosition at the reser voir, which is couuected with the water works. Tk TTAnRft and Dakota regiments compelled the euemy'B right flank to re tire to uaiocan. There was intermittent firing at var ious points all day long.

At the Cabint" meeting Sunday Secretaries Hay ami Alger. Attorney-General Griggs and Adjutant-General Corbin conferred with President McKinley ' aud it was said at the close that such instructions wonld be cabled to Manila. The feeling it that Agoinaldo has thrown down the gauntlet. The War Department today re ceived the following dispatch from General Otia: "Manila, Feb. '7. Adjutant- General, Washington: The insur gent army concentrated around Ma nila from the Luzon provinces, numbering over 20,000, and possess ing several quipk-firing and Krupp field guns. A good portion of the enemy were armed with Mausers of the latest pattern. Two Krupp and a groat many rifles were cap tured. The insurgents tired a great quantity of itmmunition. There were quite a .number of Spanish soldiers in the insurgent service, who served the artillery. The in surgents constructed strong in- trenohmenta near our Hues, mostly in the bamboo thickets.' Those our men charged, killing or capturing many of the enemy, "Our casualties probably aggre gate 250. Pull reports will be sent today. The casualties of the in surgents are very heavy. We have buried some 500 of their dead 'and hold 500 prisoners. Their loss, in killed, wounded and prisoners is probably 4000. We took the water works and pumping station yester day, six miles out. There was a considerable skirmish with the enemy, who made no stand. The pumps were damaged, but will be working again in a week. Have a number of condensers set up in the oity, which furnish good water. The troops are in excellent spirits and quiet prevails. Otis." A Washington, Feb. 8. The war department today received the fol lowing dispatch : Manila, Feb. 8. The situation is rapidly improving. A reconnoisance was made yesterday to the, south several miles to Lagunade bay, and to the southeast eight mites, our troops driving the straggling in aurgonts before ' them. The troops in various directions encountered no decided opposition. . The native army is disintegrated- and the na tives arc returning to the -villages displaying while flags. Near Caloocan, six miles no.th of here, the enemy made a stand behind entrenchments, and were charged by the Kansas troops led by Colonel Funston. There was a close encounter, resulting in the rout of the enemy with heavy loss. The loss to the Kansas regiment was Lieutenant Alford killed, and six men wounded. On the 4th Aguinaldo issued a proclamation charging the Ameri cans with having taken the initiative and declared war. ' On Sunday he issued another, calling on his fol lowers to resist foreign invasion. His influence throughout this sec tion is destroyed. He now applies for a cessation of hostilities and a conference. ' I have declined to an swer. The city is quiet.' Business has been resumed. The natives are re spectful and cheerful. The fighting qualities of American troops are a revelation to all the inhabitants. Otis. A converted, river gunboat did terrible execution among the rebels, sweeping both banks of the river with her gatling guns and heavier battery. Hundreds of Filipinos un doubtedly crawled into the cane brakes and died there. The Amoricans are working nobly in efforts to find the wounded, and are bringing hundreds of suffering rebels to the hospitals for treatment. The natives are unable to under stand the humane motives which prompt the victors to succor the wounded of the enemy.

The tronty of peace negotiated by tho outmulBsiouora of the United States and Spain at Paris, was rat ified Monday by the United States senate, the vote beiifg 57 ayes to 27 noes, or one vote more than tho two-thirds majority necessary to bo oure senatorial onourrence in a treaty document. The vote was taken in executive session, and un til the -injunction of seoreoy was re moved, tho result wub supposed to bo private; but the vice president had no more thau announced tho tigurea before tho senators rushed out of every door leading from the senate ohambor, declaring that tho treaty had been ratified. Soma made the mistake of staling that 'there were three votes to spare There was, in fact, only one yote more thau ttas necessary. Secretary Hay formally notified the Spuuieh government' through the French embassy Tuesday that the treaty of Paris has been ratified by the United States senate. Upon receipt of this announcement the Madrid government will, it is. ex pected, convoke the oortes, and that body will immediately ratify the .nstrument. It will then be incumbent upon the two governments to exchange ratifications, and this under the terms of the treaty must be per formed in Washington within six mouths from the date hereof. It will be necessary for tne Span ish government to send a minister to Washington to efiect the ex change, and it is understood that the minister from the United States will be selected and on his way to Madrid to assume his new. -duties about the same time. ( Immediately after the exchange of ratifications, the president will issue a proclamation embodying the treaty. Tnis proclamation will be the final act in the drama in which the United States and Spain have played the leading roles since the destruction of the Maine. It will be an announcement to the world of the close of the war, the independ ence of Cuba, . the acquisition of Porto Kico uuu the Philippines by this government. The cruiser Boston, which left Manila on Monday for Ilo Ilo, os tensibly to. relieve the Baltimore, cairied with her instructions to Brigadier-Oeneral Miller to at once occupy Ilo Ilo with or without con teat of the natives there.
