The election of Senator Griffith to the Superintendence of the penitentiary will cause a vancancy in the State Senate from this county and consequently necessitates an extra election to be held to fiil this vacancy. This election will probably not be held until sometime duriDg lire iau, in the meantime prospective candidates can attend to their political fences and give taffy to the dear people. As has been our custom for years, we shall neither press the claims c f one or seek to defeat an other candidate. As far as we are concerned every one of them shall have an open field and a free fight, and may the best man win. In this race may merit be successful and the ? one having the most of this virtue be the successful one. As the peo? pie is to be the judge of merit, the people have a right to demand of the candidate an expression of his views on all public issues. -The peace treaty between the United States and Spain was ratified by the United States Senate last Monday by a majority of one. Senator John L McLauriu of this State voted with the majority and Senator Tillman voted against ratification. The attack on Manila by the Filipinos doubtless had much to do with ???ti/Nv* An 14?

We don't know but [that under the circumstances it was the best thiDg to confirm the treaty as by its rejection we would be fighting " subjects of a nation that we are now at peace with and upon the soil of that nation. & ? * . The annual report of the State Board of Control has been printed. The year's business has been a good one. The net profits for the year were $4.38,921.05. The amount in the State treasury December 31st was $46,073 24. The total expenses of the board were 84,390.01. The ' State's share of profits from beer and h )tel privileges was $26,740.04. Mr. Clark's Statement of the Fire. Clark's Mills, Feb. 4,1899. To tbe Editor of the Dispatch: I see tbe report in the Dispatch in regard to the burning at my place is wrong. Quam came to Clark's Mills about 7 o'clock, wanted to stay over night, I could not refuse to keep any one such a night as the 28th of January was, I told Quam to take his horse and tie it under my wagon shed in my lot. I went out to the ' lot about the time that I thought he tied his horse, told him to go to the back end of my barn to the middle door and get some peavines and give to his horse. I told Quam he could stay in Brown's house, a small tenant bouse near my dwelling. When 1 ' ?-L i i_ i._ iL. i ?i j got uacK 10 me uuu^e tuy wue ua*.eu # if she should give him supper, I t-jld her yes, she might on such an oc- ! casion, she did so. About 2 o'clock in the night I was aroused from my sleep by the noise of the fire, called my wife, then called Press Clark, and went to the lot. My wagon shed was enveloped in flames, the end of my corn crib bad just caught as we got there. I then got all the buckets I had. J. P. Clark, R. W. Boatwright and Jared Taylor lives near, who came by my wife's blowing a horn awakening them, we then * worked like beavers to save the barn which we did. I lost my corn crib, all my com, wagon shed, gears, farming implements, cow stalls and about 10 bushels of seed peas, bushels of rough rice, a lot of choice oak and pine lumber, wheat cradle and a few other articles of small value. My dwelling is just between my wagon shed and the house that Quam stayed in. When I went out of my house Qaam was coming out of th^lot towards me, I asked him how come my wagon shed on fire : He did not know. My wagon was out from under the shed when we got in the lot, so was his old cart, or that part which was not burned- All the United States part was goue. The wheels, shaft9 and the cross piece in front was there, one of the j shafts about half burnt in two and the cross piece j^ext to the United States part. Under or where my she j stood on Sunday morning there were a lot of tools, such as hammers, monkey wrench, chisel, brickbats, umbrella frames, &c. My loss is j about $300. Those that worked so hard to save ! the balance of the buildings in my j lot have many thanks and gratitude. I Paul P. Clark. j Jor Sals Cheap. Single comb White Leghorn cocks Pest stock.

Manila, Feb. 5, S:15 p in.?The ! loDg expected rupture between the Americans and the Filipinos has come at last. Tbe former are now j engaged in solving tbe Pbilippice problem with the utmost expedition possible. The clash came at 8:10 yesterday evening, when three daiiDg Filipinos darted past the Nebraska regiment's pickets at Santa Mesa, but retired ! when challenged. They repeated the experiment without drawing the sentries' fire. I But the last time Corporal Greely j challenged the Filipinos and then fired, killing one of them and wounding another. Almost immediately afterward the Filipino line, from Caloocan to Santa Mesa, commenced a fusillade which was ineffectual. Manila, Feb. 6.?Careful estimates fV>o "E\lininr? ln?ps lin to date at LAW VUV *. www ? ? 2,000 dead; 3,500 wounded, and 5,000 taken prisoners. AX EARLIER ESTIMATE. Hong Kong, Feb. 8.?The latest advices from Manila 6ay that the rebel forces have been driven back ten miles and their losses are estimated at 1,900 killed or wounded. During the fighting the United States warships shelled a train loaded with insurgents. Col- Wm. C. Smith, of the First Tennessee infantry was in thick of the fight when attacked by appoplexy and fell from his horse. Washington, Feb: 6. ? Admiral Dewey cables the navy department today as follows: Manila, Feb. G. Secretary Navy, Washington: Insurgents have attacked Manila. Boston leave6 today for Ilolio to relieve the Baltimore, which will return to Manila. Two men wounded yesterday on board Monadnock, one seriously. (Signed) . Dewey. As there is no mention of rumored hostilities in Gen. Otis' cablegrams giving casualties, it is assumed this is a-belated cablegram from Admiral Dewey and refers to the first engagement. Manila, Feb. G, 7:15 p. m.?Owing to the area embraced in the scene of Sunday's engagement, a semi-circle of fully 17 miles, details regarding individual fighting have been extremely difficult to obtain. So far as can be gathered, the brush commenc ^ O. .1 ffT Kr? fc!U HI o:-?-J uu oaiuiuaj c?cuiu^, uj the firing of a Nebraska sentry at Santa Mesa upon Filipinos who were deliberately crossing the line, after repeated warnings, with the evident purpose of drawing our fire. The first shot from the' American sentry was evidently accepted as a prearranged signal, for it was followed immediately by a terrific fusil lade along the%ntire Filipino lice on the north side of the Pasig river. The American outposts returned the fire with such -vigor that the Filipino fire was checked until the arrival of reinforcements. All the troops in the vicinity were hurried out aud the Filipinos ceased firing for half an hour, while their own reinforcements came up. At 10 o'clock the fighting was resumed, the American firing lice consisting of the Third artillery, the Kansas and the Montana regiment, the Minnesota regiment, the Pennsy!vaniane, the Nebraskans, the Utah battery, the Idahos, the Washington?, the Californians, the Fourth cavalry, the North Dakota volunteers, the South Dakota and Colorado regiments, the Sixth artillery and the Fourteenth infantry. The Filipinos concentrated their forces at three places, Caloocan, Santa Mesa and Galingatan, and maintained an intermittent fusillade for some hours. They brought artillery into action at GdliDgatan at 10:30, but only one gun annoyed ?he Americans to any appreciable extent, a howitzer, on the road beyond Santa Mesa. The Third artillery sileDced the Galingatan battery by firing two guns simultaneously, which was followed immediately by volleys from the infan try. At about midnight there was a lull iD the firiDg, lasting until 3:45 a m , when the whole Filipino line reopened fire. The Americans poured a ten itic fire into the daikness for 20 minutes and then there was another lull until j daylight, when the Americans generally advanced. During the night, in response to Rear Admiral Dewey's signals flashed across from Cavite, the United Stales cruiser Charleston and the gunboat Concord, stationed at Malabon, poured a deadly fire from their secondary battery into the Filipino trenches at j Caloocan. After daylight the United States I monitor Monadnock opened fire d'f I Malate and kept shelling the Filipino ; left flank, while the other vessels I shelled the enemy's right flank for j several bouts. By 10 o'clock the Ameiicans had j apparently completely routed the enemy and had taken the villages of Palapong, Santa Mesa, Paco, Santana, S in Pedro, Maqorte, Pandocan and Pasai, bad destroyed hundreds of native huts and had secured possession of the water main and reservoir ?a distance of over six miles. The Termesseeans joined the filing: line at 10 o'clock on Sunday morning and assisted in capturing Santa Mesa. One of the most notable events of Sunday's work was driving the Fdipinos cut of their stronghold atPaco by the reserve, a few companies of Cahfornians. commanded by Col. Duboce The main road to the village was lined by native huts full of Filipino sharpshooters. 'After they had been firing upon Gen. King and his staff, killing a driver, and firing on an ambulance of the Red Cross society, Col. Duboce ordered the huts to be cleared and burned. The Filipinos concentrated in Paco church and convent, where they made a determined stand in the upper stories. A plutoon of Californians stationed on a neighboring bridge maintained a hot fire on the Filipino?, but was uuabie to aisioage them. Iq the face of a terrific fusillade, Col. Duboce and a few volunteers dashed into the church, scattered coal oil inside of it, set fire to the oil and retired. Id the meantime Capt. Dyer's battery of the Sixth artillery bombarded the church, dropping a dozen shells into the tower and roof. Company L and part of company G, of the California's charged into the church, but were unable to asceud the single flight of steps leading to the story above. After the incendiaries had retired, a company of the Idahos and the Washington Guards, stationed on either side of the building, picked off the Filipinos as they were smoked out. Many of the rebels, however, escaped into the bush in the rear of the church. The Americans captured 53 of the rebels, and during the fighting about the church 20 of the rebels were killed. | Some 2,5U0 women, children and nonccmbatant8 were allowed to enter | the American lines after promising to go to the houses of friends and remain there. j Another interesting incident occurred during the engagement. Tho Washiugtons and the Idahos and Companies K and M, of the Califorijias charges across the rice fields between Paco and Santana, in the face cf a terrific fusillade. The ground, today, over which they passed, is covered with dead and wounded I - i' rrt ? I .,*, I natives. luc luinier aic uciug umied in groups of five or six about where they lay and the latter are beiDg brought to the hospital. It was at this stage of the fightiDg at Baloocan that the Filipinos suffered their heaviest losses. ! The Fourteenth regulars were in a particularly tight place near Singalon and Col. Daboce was compelled to rush past tbern with the reserves, in order to prevent the regulars from being cut off. In the last lice twelve men were killed before the rebels retired. Both sides cheered frequentiy during the engagement. The American "hurrahs1' were almost invariably met with derisive "vivas." Among the natives the Ygorrotes , were especially noticeable for their bravery, about 700 of these naked savages facing artillery with their bows and arrows. The scene at Manila when the alarm was given on Saturday night was wildly excitiug. The American soldiers in the theatres and at the circuses were called out, the performances were stopped, Filipinos scurried everywhere and the rattle of musketry and the booming of cannon outside of the city was plainly heard. The residents on the outskirts of Manila flocked into the walled city, with their arms full of articles. All the carriages disappeared as if by magic, the street cars were stopped, the telegraph lines were cut and the The bud is more eas(' ily blighted than the <Rfse hi full - blown rose.

There I ^ | were no street cars or carriages to bo I I seen and the streets were almost de- j serted. The Minnesota troops, act-1 ing as police, searched every native j and arrested many of them, with the result that while there were several j attempts to assassinate American' officers on Saturday there were none j on Sunday.

Two Filipino commissioners from j Iloilo and four rebel officers were ar- i rested here this morning after board- j ing the steamer Uranus. Many suspects have been arrested iu various parts of the city. Latest advices from the seat of war says that four thousand Filipinos has fallen so far and all of them save five hundred were killed. It is thought that General Olis has underestimated the casualties. The American loss wiiil aggregate oOO men. It is understood that the policy of j this government is to assume the aggressive and prosecute the campaign j against the Filipinos with the utmost vigor. No time will be given them to recuperate and concentrate their forces.

The following official dispatch has j been received at the war department: j Manila, Feb. 7.

Aguinaldo's proclamation of'Moudav savs the outbreak of hostilities was "unjustly and unexpectedly pro- j vckc-d by the Americans," refers to his manifesto of January 8 publishing the aileged grievances of the Filipinos at the hands of the army of occupation and the "constant outrnges and taunts which have been j causing misery to the Mauilan.c," and refers to "the useless conferences" j and "contempt shown for the Filipino government" as proving a "premeditated transgression of justice and libertj/' The rebel leader also refers to the j former losses of the Filipinos, but says "slavery is bitter," and culb upon them to "sacrifice all upon the altar cf honor and national integrity." Ife insists that he tried to avoid, so far as possible, an armed conflict, ; but claims that all his efforts "were useless before the unmeasured pride of the Americans," whom he charged as having treated him as a rebel ' be- . cause I defended the interests of mv " i country and would not become the instrument of their dastardly iutentions.v Aguinaido concludes with saying: not discouraged.
