THEIR CASUALTIES REACH I TO FOUR THOUSAND. J' 1/ General Otis Has Control of the ' Situation-A guinaldo Still Dotiant. Spaniards Assist Insurgents. Manila, Feb. 7.?There was a sharp engagement half a eailo ! from Singalone Monday. The Fourth Nebraska, aided by a part of the Utah battery, engaged the Filipino force. The Nebraskans , lost one dead and three wounded. ( General Hale's brigade captured the waterworks of Singalone. The Filipinos tied in disorder. | i They took along the valvee, heads, ', steam chest, cylinder and pump- ' ing machine. Dr. Young, ex quartermaster of the Third artillery, was captured, killed and horribly mutilated. Overshiras brigade took Parangue and two field guns without opposition. . ilcArthur's division has ad vanced beyond Oagalonqnin, forcing the Filipinos to retreat upon ^ Coloseum. The division sustained ^ no loss. 1 Washington, Feb. 7.?Gen. Otis cables the adiutant renoral from Manila on the 7th that th? insurgent army wus concentrated around Manila from Louzon province, numbering over 20,000, with several quick-firing and Krupp field guns. A good por tion of them arrived later with Mausers. Two Krupps and a great many rifles were capture.1. The insurgents used great quantities of ammunition. Quite a number of Spaniards served the insurgent artillery. The insurgents constructed j strong entrenchments near our lines, mostly of hnmhoo thiskots. Our men charged these, killing '?r i capturing many of the enemy. !

Have Tested the Anioricans aad Feel Better Now. Washington, Fob. 8?Gen. Otis reports : "On the 4th Aguinaldo issued a Hying proclamation charging the Americans with the initiative and declared war ; Sunlay he issued another calling on ill to resist the foreign invasions. His influence throughout this section is destroyed. He now applies for a cessation of hostilities and a conference. I have declined to inswer. The insurgentsr expectation of i rising in the city on the night if the 4th was unrealized. The provost marshal with his adraira tile disposition of troops defeated Bverv attempt. The city is quiet. Business has been resumed. The Datives are respectful and cheer< ful. The fighting quality of the American troops is a revelation to all the inhabitants. [Signed] OTIS." GRIM GRIP'S DEADLY MARCH.
