Into the Thousands News of the
Battle Confirmed by General Otis.
Manila, Feb 7. The long-expected
rupture between the Amerioana and the
Filipinos baa come at last. The former
are now engaged in solving the Philip
pine problem with the utmost expedi
tion possible.
The clash oame. at 8:40 yesterday
evening, when three daring Filipinos
darted past the Nebraska regiments at
Santa Mesa, but retired, when chal
lenged; They repeated the experiment
without drawing the sentries' file, but
at the third time Corporal Gieeley
challenged the Filipinos and then fired,
killing one of them and wounding an
other. Almost immediately afterward
,he Filipinos' line from Calocan to
GRJf. EMTt.IO AOTTTWAT.TIO.
Santa Mesa commenced a fuailade
which was ineffectual.
The Nebraska, Montana and North
Dakota outposts replied vigorously, and
held their ground until reinforcements
arrived.
T4e Filipinos in the meantime con
centrated at three points, Calocan, Ga
galangin and Santa Mesa.
At about 1 o'clock the Filipinos
opened a hot fire from all three places
simultaneously. Thisvwas supplement
ed by the fire of the two seige guna at
Balik-Balik and by advancing their
skirmishers from Paoo and Pandacan
The Amerioans responded with a ter
rific fire, but owing to the darkness
they were unable to determine its effect,
The Utah light artillery finally suc
ceeded in silencing the native battery.
The Third artillery also did eood work
ion the extreme left. The engagement
lasted over an hour.
The United States cruiser Charleston
ami the gunboat Concord, stationed off
Malabon, opened fire from their second
ry batteries on the Filipinos' position
at Calocan and kept it up vigorously.
At 2:45 there was another fusilade
-Alone the entire line and the United
States sea-going double-turreted moni
tor Monad nock opened fire on the ene
my from off Malate.
With daylight the Americana ad
Tanced. The California and Washing
ton regiments made a splendid charge
4ii)d drove the Filipinos from the works
at Paco and Santa Mesa. The Nebraska
regiment also distinguished itself, cap
turing several prisoners and one How
itzer, and a very strong position at the
-reservoir, which is connected with the
waterworks.
The Kansas and Dakota regiment!
-compelled the enemy's right flank to
retire to Calocan.
There waa intermittent firing at va
ioua points all day long.
The American losses are estimated
at 20 men killed and 125 wounded.
The Igorotes, armed with bowa and
arrows, made a determined stand in
the face of a hot artillery fire, and let
many dead on the field.
Several attempts were made in this
-city yesterday evening to assassinate
American officers.
Confirmed by Otis.
The following dispatch from Geo.
Otis con firm 8 the news of the fighting:
"Manila, Feb. 7. To Adjutant-Gen
ral, Washington, D. C: Saturday
the insurgents opened attack On our
outer lines at 8:45, repeated attack lev-
ral timet during the night. At
o'clock tli ia morning entire foroe waa
engaged, and all attacks lepulsed; at
daybreak advanced against insurgents,
and have driven them beyond lines
they formerly occupied, captnring sev
eral villages and their defense works;
insurgents' loss in dead and wounded
large; our own casualties thns far esti
mated at 175, very few fatal."
A dispatch to the London Post says:
Many of. the insurgents were driven
into the Pasig river and drowned. Sev
eral hundred were taken prisoners.
In a subsequent telegram the follow
ing statements are made: Last night's
and today's engagements have proved
veritable slaughter for the Filipinos
their killed being repotted as amount
ing to thousands.
To Crush the Revolt.
Washington, Feb. 7. Instructions
will be sent to Major-General Otis to
morrow, direoting him to follow up his
victory over the insurgents and to crush
the power of Aguinaldo in the Philip
pines.
DID NOT INTEND TO
That Is the Btory of the Rebel-
oners at Manila.
Manila, Feb. 9. There are many in
dications that Manila is full of des
peradoes, who had intended to co
operate with Agninaldo. The police
are continually capturing men and
.. . 1.1 ii..,:-
nuiueu wiiii weupuiis uuiiueaieu in moil
clothing. The vigilance of the authori
ties in this tespect is highly reassuring.
Last Saturday, about midnight,' two
Englishmen accidentally enoountered a
gang of armed natives in a dark side
stieet. The natives, fearing discovery,
imprisoned them until morning, and
threatened to kill them unless they
maintained silence.
Many native clerks, employed by
mercantile houses are missing. As it
is impossible that they should have
passed the lines, the inference is that
they are in hiding in the city.
Several attempts were made to assas
sinate Americans on theBtreet, but that
danger is now at a minimum. The na
tives are terribly cowed, and the pie
cautions taken, especially against in
cendiarism, are admirable.
The rebels, who have been swept in
every direction, die by the hundreds in
the trenches for' the most part pas
sively, except the Igorotes, who charge
desperately and uselessly.
The rebel prisoners declare that their
attack was unpiemeditateu; tnat tne
outposts fired, and then eveiybody fol
lowed in accordance with a sort of gen
eial understanding."
Filipinos Utterly Routed.
Manila, Feb. 9. General Otis, as
this dispatch is sent, is in complete
control of the situation within a radius
of nine miles of Manila. The Ameri
can lines extend to Malabon on the
north and to Paranque on the south,
fully 25 miles. While a few detached
bodies of Filipinos offer desultory op
position, the main body is in full re
treat and utterly routed. Of the hordes
of troopB originally drawn up in battle
rray against the Americans, fully
one-third are already incapacitated, ajid
the rest are scattered in every direc
tion. The Amerioans now have a steam-
car line to Malabon, and 600 marines
with four Maxims have been landed
rora the fleet on the beach north of the
city. The Third artillery, on the main
road, and the Utah battery, in the
cemetery, covered the advance of the
Kansas troops.
Among the important points cap
tured was a strong einbra8uied earth
works within sight of Calocan.
Millions for l'ublio Buildings.
Washington, Feb. 9. Today and to-
monow were set aside by the house for
the consideration of public building!
bills. The committee had reported
78 bills for buildings, in 85 states, au
thorizing in the aggregate an expendi
ture of 114,060,900. Little or no op
position developed today, and bills
were favorably acted upon almost as
rapidly as they could be read. There
was, however, more or less 1 good
natured chaffing throughout the ses
siou. As a result, 40 bins, carrying
or authorizing appropriations aggregat
ing $11,864,000 had been laid aside
with favorable recommendations before
adjournment was reached.
English Praise for the Volunteers.
London, Feb. 9. The Daily Tele
graph, commenting upon the fighting
at Manila, says:
"It is ouite clear that the Americans
have given the Filipino lebels a very
sound thrashing at a comparatively
small cost to themselves. They have
for the time being, at all events, placed
Manila in safety until the reinforce
ments now en route reach Geneia
Otis. Although the majority of the
American soldiers at Manila were vol
onteers, they appear to have fought
with as much'diacipline and gallantry
their regular comrades could have
exhibited."
The Iowa at San Francisco.
San Francisco, Feb. 9. The battle
ship Iowa arrived here today from
New York, from which port she sailed
in company with the Oregon and twe
consorts October 12 last. The voyage
from the Atlantio to the Pacific was a
pleasant one, both the Iowa and Oregon
making the journey without a hitch of
anv moment. The Oregon left the
Iowa when off the Peruvian coast, set
ting her bow toward the Hawaiian
islands.
Regular Transports.
San Francisco, Feb. 9. Word has
been received from Washington that
the United Stales transports Giant
Sherman, Sheridan and the hospital
ship Relief have been transferred to
this department, and will be need to
cairy soldiers and supplies to tne pos
sessions of the United States lying in
the Pacific ocean. These vessels, with

troiis head-end collision between a pas
senger train and an ' extra ireignt oc

tended aeaeion today, reached a concln
sion as to the important items; In all
12 new warships are agreed to and
three more are under consideration.

tion, which he asked might lie on the
table: . "
"That the United States hereby dis
claims any intention oi purpose to ex
etoiBe permanent sovereignty, jurisdic
tion or control over the Philippines
and assert their determination when a

fer to such government upon terms
which shall be reasonable and just all
rights secured under the cession by
Spain, and to therupon leave the gov
ernment and control of the islands to
their people."
In accordance with previous notice,
Money began the discussion of expan
sion, speaking in opposition to taking
the Philippines. Money conoluded at
2 o'clock, and Daniel then addressed
the senate on the same subject,
Opposition to Test Tote.
Washington, Feb. 6. The contro
versy in the senate ovei the vote upon
the various resolutions interpretative
of the peace treaty took an aoute turn
late today. The opposition to a vote
first came from the friends of the
treaty, who held to the theory that it
could be ratified without 'compromise.
Those who apparently were then will
ing that a vote should be taken today
held an opposite view, and absolutely
refuse to agree to a time for taking a
vote.
The contest occurred in the execu
tive session, which did not occur until
quarter after 5 o'clock. The next
hour and a quater was spent. in a vain
endeavor on one side to get an agree
ment to a date for a vote upon the
resolutions, ami on the other in a more
successful effort to bring the day's ses
sion to a olose without allowing any
thing to be accomplished in that di
rection.
After a genera) debate on the subject
the senate adjourned.
DYEA AND SKAGWAY.
They May lie Ceded to the Dominion ol
Canada by Treaty.
Washington, Feb. 6. If the report
of their subcommittee is adopted.
seems possible if not probable, a slioe
of Alaska territory, embracing the en
trance to the Klondike, may be ceded
to Great Britain in treaty to be adopt
ed by the Anglo-American commission.
The subcommittee's report, it ia
said, oonies dangerously near to putting
bkagway and JJyea under British con
trol, leaving to the Americans, how
ever, the control of the headwaters of
the Lynn canal, by which both of
these supply towns are reached.
To Kill All Foreigners.
San Francisco, Feb. 6. In the sto
ries of the minders of missionaries and
foieign residents recently in China, de
tails of a particularly barbarous affair
at Chongan Chiang, involving the life
of an Englishman named Fleming, and
Evangelist Pan, have been wanting
R. Adams, of the Chinese inland
mission, visited the scene of the mur
ders, and tells of a shocking condition
of affairs, in the North China Daily
News. He ascertained that the people
61 Chongan had determined to take the
life of every foreiguer in the place, and
when Mr. Fleming set foot in the town
he waa a doomed man. At least 200
people witnessed the muidor from the
opposite side of the river. Evangelist
Pan was suddenly and quickly out
down. Mr. Fleming dismounted from
his mule to go to his assistance, but
he, too, was attacked and slain aftor
desperate conflict.
A C6urt of Inquiry Probable.
Washington, Feb. 6, Indications
are that a court of inquiry will be or-
aered to investigate and report upon
the truth or falsity of statements al
leged to have been made by General
Miles, in which the quality of beet
furnished the troops during the late
war was brought in question.
Deadly Work of a Train.
Pittsburgh Feb. 6. A two-horse
wagon on which five men and a young
woman were riding, was struck today
by a Baltimore & Ohio freight train
at Riverton station. Four men were
killed and the other man and the young
woman so badly injured that they will
probably die.
Hepburn's Canal Bill.
Washington, Feb. 6. The house
committee on interstate and foieign
commerce today directed a favorable
report on the Hepburn Nicaragua canal
bill, with amendments, as a substitute
for the Morgan bill, passed by the sen
ate. .

board about 700 sailors to relieve the
men in Dewey's fleet She will be

General Grosvenor, chairman of the
caucus, presided, and Bennett of New
York, was chosen as secretary to suo
ceed Hooker, resigned.
Representative Henderson intro
duced the following resolution, which
served as a text for all the discussion
of the evening:
. "Resolved, That a committee of 11
members of the present house of repre
sentatives, who are members of the
66th congress, shall be appointed by
the chairman of this caucus for the
purpose of considering monetary legis
lation and submitting their recom
mendations to a Republican caucus at
the first session of the 56th oongress,
with authority from the senate."
The discussion on this resolution
proceeded with much animation for
more than an hour. There was but
little difference of opinion on the main
point that it would be futile to at
tempt financial legislation at this late
day in the present session.
A resolution was adopted setting
aside Saturday, February 11, for pay
ing tribute to the late Representative
Dingley, of Maine.
A bill was passed to permit the ex
portation of wines, liquors, in five gal
lon tins to conform to the condition ex
isting in the Chinese trade.
A Notable Speech In the Senate.
Washington, Feb. 4. A notable
peeoh was made in the senate today
by Spoonei of Wisoonsin.. He took for
his text the anti-expansion resolution
offered by Vest, but discussed the ques-
ion of expansion in all its phases, and
urged the ratification of the peace
treaty as the best means of bringing
the burning question home to the peo
ple themselves, who, he said, could
well be trusted in their sober second
thought to do that whioh would b
lair, just and generous toward the in
habitants of the Philippine arohipelago.
FIRE IN VANCOUVER, B. C.
Chinatown Almost Completely
Des-
stroyed A Number I'erlsh,
Vancouver, B. C, Feb. 4. China
town, at the big Chemainns lumber
mills near Nanaimo, the coal oenter of
the province, has been almost com
pletely destroyed by fire, and a numbei
of Chinese burned to death.
After work, the Mongolians built a
huge fire in the oenter of the Chinese
quarter; and proceeded to smoke opium.
All beoame befuddled, and the flames
catching the flimsy cabins of the settle
ment gained headway before the
opium-drugged Chinese realized their
predicament. They rushed - bUndly
into the flames. Scenes of the wildest
description were witnessed bv the
white settlers who went to the rescue.
The flimsy shacks buined fieroely,
and soon they were a mass of smoking
tuins. It was ascertained that at least
two Chinese were burned to death. A
number of others were badly burned,
and it is reported that several other
are missing.
Strikers Make Threats.
New York, Feb. 4. A dispatch to
the World from Colon, Colombia, says:
Terrified by threats of strikers to fire
the town, the merchants have asked
for stronger military protection. The
railway officials are confident they
could extinguish a fire if set, and the
authorities have prepared to properly
respond to an alarm.
The crews of several steamships!
waiting on both sides of the isthmus
to unload have struck.
The piees hints that Berlous inter
national trouble is likely to aiise be
cause the overzealous police have beaten
some peaceable foreigners, mistaking
thuru for strikers. Several complaints
of such abuse are said to have been
lodged at the British consulate.
Paper Trust Gaining Ground.
New York, Feb. 4. The Interna
tional Paper Company ia steadily push
ing ahead with ita plana toward abso
lute monopoly of the paper-manufac
turing trade. The company lias bought
the plants of the Moosebead Pulp Com
pany, at Solon, Me., a 60-ton ground
wood mill, which ia important to the
trust, chiefly because of its water-
power facilities. Tne paper company
has bought the Misterlioh patents and
also secured conrol of the Russell pat
ents, which give it practical control of
the best methods for manufacturing
sulphite pulp. Outside of these two
patents there is only one method of
making sulphite that amounts to any
thing.
The Eagan Conrtmartlal.
Washington, Feb. 4. The record of
the court-martial in the case of Gen
eral Eagan ia now in the hands of the
president for final review. Today Mr.
Worthington, attorney for Geneial Ea
gari, filed with the judge-advocate
general the additional or supplement
ary plea which be waa granted perm is
sion to lodge. It was an elaboration
of the points made by counsel before
the court-martiaL A formidable array
of authorities has been produced, par
ticularly in support of the contention
that General Eagan's conduct, though
the faots be admitted, was not legally
in the lines of the charge of conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man.

tation, and will make a considerable
difference in stock shipping, freighting
and passenger travel. The objeot ol

Speedy Mail Carriers.
All records of ice travel on the Yu
kon have been broken by the recent feat
of the mounted police of the Northwest
teriitory in bringing a big shipment
of mail from Dawson to Skagway in
nine days and 10 hours. The mail
left Dawson on the morning of January
15 and was in Skagway before noon on
January 81. The record waa made by
the Canadian offioials, it ia said, to
show that they could greatly reduce
the time being made by the United
States mail contractors.
Big Sale of Wheat.
With the Bale of about 500,000 bush
els of wheat on a basis of 60 oenta for
No. 1 olub, net, to the farmers, the
wheat market has taken on a qnieter
tone at Pendleton, Or., and no sales
are being recorded. The distribution
of $250,000 of ready money in this com
munity has given considerable impetus
to ietail business, whioh had become
somewhat stagnant fiom the failure of
the producers to realize either on wheat
or wool. ,
Schooner Sander Libeled.
The schooner Fred E. Sander, at the
Tacoma mill loading lumber for Vallejo
Junction, has been libeled by James
Gillespie, formerly a oook on her, for
$318. The suit was brought while the
ship was on the lower Sound. The
case will be heard in Seattle. Sinoe
coming to Tacoma the captain and all
ol the crew who were in her before,
with the exception of a Mexican, who
speaks no English, have left her.
Farming Operations Resumed.
Farming operations are in. active
progress in the country south and west
of Colfax, Wash., and last week bun
d reds of acres were plowed for spring
seeding. Farmers in the Alkali fiat
country are seeding, and many are well
along with sowing .their spring grain
Squirrels are out by hundreds, the
sountry bears the marks of spring, the
hills are beooming green, and farmers
are busy with their Spring work.
A Girl Attacked.
On Sunday, an unknown man at
tacked the 14-year-olddaughter of O. I.
Morris, of Turner, Or., while she was
in a stubble field, rounding np cows.
The man jumped from behind a clump
of brush, threw the girl on the ground,
took off one of her shoes and ordered
her to skip. Mr. Morris heard the
screams of his daughter, and ran to her
rescue, but the assailant wr.s nowhere
to be found.
No Bids Reoelsed. '
The steamship City of Columbia was
put up for sale at San Francisoo at the
upset price of $32,000. There was no
puichaser. The polioe department will
now indorse the petition of the seamen
of the Columbia that the vessel be put
up for as muoh as she will bring. The
Bailors of the vessel are really in a very
bad shape. Most of them have not a
oent, and nave not possessed a dollar
in weeks.
Overhauling a Nail riant.
The report published in the Port
Town send Leader a few days ago to
the effect that the nail works plant
waa being wrecked for the purpose of
shipping the machinery elsewhere, waa
a mistake, It originated from the fact
that several workmen were busily en
gaged in overhauling the machinery.
When the plant will resume work has
not been definitely settled.
Income From Clams.
According to the Astorian, C. N.
Carnahan, as a result of a personal in
vestigation of the subject, finds that
the estimate of value of the olam prod
not of Clatsop oonnty contained in
Fish Commissioner MoGuire's report
Is wrong. Mr. MoGuire puts the an
nual value of Clatsop county clams at
$900. Mr. Carnahan states that it is
very olose to $10,000.
Boy Pirates at San Francisco.
John Ilallin and Arthur Daught
have been arrested at San Francisoo
on a charge of stealing copper and brass
from the Mare island navy-yard. They
were formerly wreckers, bat of late
have been veritable bay pirates, using
a whaleboat and a skiff to commit their
depredations.

In the case of the Northern Paclflo
