Manilla, Feb.0-8.15 P. M.-The long expected rupture between the Ameri cans and the Filipinos has conn-at last. The former are now engaged in solv ing the Philippine problem with the utmost expedition possible. The clash came at 8.40 yesterday evening, when three daring Filipinos darted past the Xebrasku regiment's pickets at Santa Mesa, but retired when challenged. They repeated the. experiment with out drawing the sentries' fire. Hut the last time Corporal Greely challenged the Filipinos and then tired, killing one of them and wounding another. Almost immediately afterward the Filipino line, from Calvocan to Santa Mesa, commenced a fusilado, which was ineffectual. The Nebraska, Montana and North Dakota outposts replied vigorously, and held their ground until reinforce ments arrived. The Filipinos in the meantime con centrated at three points, Calvocan, Cagalangin and Santa Mesa. At about 1 o'clock the Filipinos open ed a hot fire from all three places si multaneously. This was supplemented by the tire of two siege guns at llalik Halik, and by advancing their skir mishers at Paco and Pandaean. The Americans responded with a terrific lire, but owing to the darkness they were unable to determine its effect. The Ptah light artillery tinnily suc ceeded in silencing the native battery. The M artillery also did good work on the extreme left. The engagement lasted over an hour. The United States cruiser Charleston and the gunboat Concord, stationed off Malabona, opened fire from their sec ondary batteries on the Filipinos's position nt Calvocan and kept it up vigorously. At 2.45 there, was another fusilado along the entire line, and the United States sea-going double turret monitor Monadnock opened lire on the enemy from off Malate. With daylight the Americans,ad vanced. The California and Washing ton regiments made a splendid charge and drove the Filipinos from the vil lage of Paco and Santa Mesa. The Nebraska regiment also distin guished itself, capturing several pris oners and one howitzer and a very strong position at the reservoir, which is connected with the waterworks. The Kansas and Dakota regiments compelled the enemy's right Hank to retire to Calvocan. There was intermittent tiring at va rious points all day long. The losses of the Filipinos cannot be estimated at present, but they are known to be considerable. The American losses are. estimated at 20 inch killed and 125 wounded. Tho Ygorates, armed with hows and arrows, made a very determined stand in tin'- face of a hot artillery fire, and left many dead on the field. Several attempts were made in this city yesterday evening to ; assasinate American officers. Manilla. Fish. <!.-lt now (tavelons that fifty-four Americans were killed in UH* buttles hore Saturday night and Sunday. Thc list ol thu wounded will probably reach 200. I M M KIM VIT. ?Vt M. n| VTTAl'K. According to tin-best information t lie j immediate canse ot' the attack on the Americans hy the Filipinos was an ad- ' vance hy two Filipinos to the Nebraska outp?st on the northwest of the city. When ordered to halt they refused, . and the sentry tired. An insurgent I signal gnu was then tired from block house 7 and an attack was immediately begun on the Nebraska regiment. Th?' lighting soon spread on hoi li sides until hung was in progress on all the outposts around tin- city. Tile' American troops responded vigorously, the insurgent tire being heavy ami the attack evidently hurriedly planned. This was Saturday night. Firing continued throughout S;itm day night with an occasional cessation ol'from hallan hour toan hour at a time. At daybreak Sunday the warships, Charleston anti Callao, began shelling the north sid?'ol'the city. Their tin was followed later by that ul* the Mo und nock on the southern side, the insurgent positions having been pre- . viously accurately located. Tw o Amei ?cans wer?1 wounded on th.- Monndliock.

Lungley, of this city, re- . lates a recent pleasant experience that recalls one not quite so pleasant. Ile has again taken charge of a man he captured about thirty-four^ years ago and is inflicting on him all t he kindness . he is capable of. lt came about in this ' way : About two weeks ago Mr. Langley was on Main Street, when a mau in the blue uniform of the kind the Confede rates used to shoot at with great unc tion, came along and stared him-full in the face, grabbed his hand and ex pressed pleasure and surprise in terms mon- earnest than elegant. .Mr. Lang ley could not recall any acquaintance with the man in blue until reminded of a warm occasion in 18(5-1 around Frank lin, Tennessee. He soon got his reeol- j lection to work and it all cann* back to ! him, how he and a number ol' comrades , of Co. D, Kith S. C. Regiment, dashed j through the Federal lines ami got in | the trenches with the Federal soldiers, j capturing many of them. He reinem- j bercd carrying back to his command in : triumph a slim "Yankee." boy. He . saw much of his captive later and formed a regard for hi: n, but in the rush of events he had forgotten him. This captive, a Union soldier then, a Union soldier now recognized his cap tor and called him triend. lu the last. : few weeks they have spent many hours recalling the incidents of that other and sure enough war. Mr. Langley's captive is named Mc Grath, and he is with the Fourth Mis souri regiment. He is too old to be enlisted, but he stays with the boys and does a soldier's duty. He was lately under arrest for missing a roll call while visiting his whilom enemy. He is a pensioner by reason ot service in the war between the Stares. A great many people are interested in this little romance, and are pleased nt this marked exhibition of human change and chance that is really as strange as fiction.-(?rernrillc Mann Jainecr. ^ ^ ^_ Conducted His Own Funeral Services, i PAOLA, Kan., Jan. 2?.-The Kev. August Stewart, an aged minister, died ; yesterday under most peculiar circum stances and was buried to-day. On ; Wednesday the Kev. Mr. Stewart j preached his own funeral sermon, and ' at his own request there were no ser vices over his remains to-day beyond a ; short prayer. Wednesday morning the Kev. Mr. Stewart, who was in robust health for a man of his age. announced to his wife that, he had done his last day's work and that he would not live the week out. His wife tried to persuade him out of tlie notion, but he clung to '? it and prepared for the end, disposing of all his personal property and making his will. Wednesday afternoon he ! called in his neighbors and made the ; same announcement that he made, to ? his wife. Then he announced a hymn, j which was sung, und following it Mr. Stewart preached his own funeral ser mon, closing with a prayer for the re pose of his soul. Immediately after wards he went to bed, and when a doctor was called he sent him away, saying that he had been called by death and that medicine would do no good. He requested that his body be taken directly to the cemetery, mid that no funeral sermon be preached, as he had attended to that. Yesterday he died, and his wishes were observed. Physicians say that he had no physi cal ailment and that, his death was "due entirely to his presentiment and his re fusal to combat.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
