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.

doubtless had much to do with

that had net that Sunday fight taken
place the treaty would have been rejected.
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.

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

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

BLOODY WAR!
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.

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

(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

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

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

soldiers hurriedly but bileutly marched
out of the city to the stations
assigned them. The stores were
closed almost inslautly, foreign flags
were to be seen dying from many
windows, and- a number of white
rags were hung out from Filipino I
huts and houses.
On Sunday immense crowds of
people visited the water front and
gathered in the highest towers to
watch the bombardment. There 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. Absolute order* was 1
maintained.
The Americans are determined not j
to give the Filipinos a chance to re j
cuperate.

owing to the fact that the regiments
are scattered, to obtain a reliable list
except from headquarters.
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 Americacs now have complete !
control of the situation within a radi-1
us of nine miles of Manila, the lines !
extending to Malabon, to the north,!
and Paianfque on 1 he south, fully
twenty-five miles long.
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. Our independence
was watered freely by the
blood of martyrs, and more will be
shed in the future to strengthen it.
Remember that efforts are not to be
wasted that ends may be gained. It
is indispensable to adjust our actions
to the rules of law and right and tc
learn to triumph over our enemies." j
