175 Wounded Enemy's Loss Bum
Into the Thousands News of the
- Battle Confirmed by General Otis.
Manila, Feb 7. The long-expected
rupture between the Americans and the
Filipinos has 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' fire, but
at the third time Corporal Greeley
challenged the Filipinos and then fired,
killing one of them and wounding an
other. Almost immediately afterward
the Filipinos' line from Calocan to
Santa Mesa commenced a : fusilade
which was ineffectual.
The Nebraska, Montana and North
Dakota outposts replied vigorously, and
held their ground nntil reinforcements
arrived.
The 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. . This was supplement
ed by the fire of the two seige guns at
Balik-Balik and by advancing their
skirmishers from Paoo and Pandacan.
The Americans responded with a ter
rifio 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 good work
on the extreme left.. The engagement
lasted over an hour. " v
The United States cruiser Charleston
ftnd the gunboat Concord, stationed off
Malabon, opened fire from their second
ary batteries on the Filipinos' position
it Calocan and kept it up : vigorously.
At 2:45 there was another fusilade
along the entire line and the United
States sea-going double-turreted. moni
tor Monadnock opened fire on the ene
my from off Malate." .
"With daylight the Amerioans ad
vanced. The California and Washing
ton regiments' made a splendid charge
and drove the Filipinos from the works
at Paoo 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 regiments
oompelled the enemy's right flank to
retire to Calocan.
There was intermittent firing at va
rious points all day long.
The American losses are estimated
at 20 men killed and 125 wounded.
The Igo'rotes, armed with bows and
arrows, made a determined stand in
the face oft a hot artillery fire, and let
many dead on the field.
Several' attempts were made in this
city yesterday evening to assassinate
American officers.
