Th?' correspondent of the Associated
Tress is informed that members of the
hospital corps have made thc startling
discovery that there are several wo
men, in male dress and with hair
cropped, among thc dead.
The chief of the Igorrotcs, the Fil
ipino natives who fought PO gallantly
in the face nf our artilb y lire, with
their bows ami arrows, is in a hospital
with a shattered thigh, lie admits
that he never saw modern artillery
and was ignorant nf its effects until he
and his followers mei the disastrous
lire of the cannon on Sunday morning.
Thc chief is bitterly incensed against >
the Tagalos lor placing the Igorrotcs i
in front of thc American battery,
under thc pretense that they were I
sent lo occupy a post of honor, and he j
intimates that thc Igorrotcs willi
avenge thi> treachery when thc sur-j
vivois return mirth.
ll is regarded as a significant fact j
that many of the Filipino officials of i
this city disappear >1 from Manila as I
soon ?is hostilities commenced. Some ?
of them are supp .-? >\ tn be -till hiding j
there.
Hundreds ol' Winnen ??re [muring

villages around Manila have, as i mle, '
been destroyed by thc ti ?ops.
The further thc Americans extend
their lines the more tho need ol' means i
of transportation increases. The !
American commanders have already !
been compelled to impress horses and
vehicles on all sides to thc inconven
ience, naturally, of the civilians.
All the public conveyances ?it this
writing have oiLhcr been impressed or
have disappeared in sonic manner or
other. Streetcar traffic, however, has
been resumed and the cars are running
regularly, though thc streets are al
most deserted. There are a few na
tive stores open, and white flags, in
thc nature of towels, pillow slips and
aprons tied to bamboos adorn the win
dows of thc native residences. But
in spite of these emblems of peace,
scores of Filipinos,Minder the covor of
darkness, fired from these same win
dows yesterday evening on the Amer

there was a general fusciladc in tho

A Filipino colom-1 c;ime out this
morning from Caloaean, under a Hag
of trace. Sevcial American ollicers
promptly went tn meet him, but when
the parties met the Filipinos opened
lire. Thc Filipino apologized for the
barbarous conduct of his troops aud
returned to his lines.
I The American troops are being
promptly furnished with supplies of
all kinds, special hospital attendance
is supplied up to thc firing line, in
b.ief, all the wants of our troops arc
met immediately by the different mili
tary departments whose duty it is to
attend to such matters.
Artificer Hays, of Co. I, of thc Col
orado regiment, discovered the miss
ing parts of the pumping machinery
of th?' waterworks buried in a coal pile
at Singalon station. The machinery
will soon he in working order again
niul the employees having promised to
return to work this evening, it is im
probable that the threatened water
famine will occur.

j Aguinaldo, th?' rebel leader, issued
two proclamations on Saturday and
? M ?imlay The first says:
j "1 ??rd?-r and command,
: ''First, That peace and friendly
relations with the Americans bc broken
ami that th?* latter he treated as ene
mies, within thc limits prescribed by
the law.- nf war. i
.Second. That thc Americans cap
tured bc held as prisoners ?if war.
."Third, That this proclamation be |
communicated to iii?- consuls and that
congress order ami accord a suspen
sion of thc constitutional guarantee
resulting from the declaration of war."
Aguinaldo's proclamation of Mon
day says thc outbreak of hostilities
was "unjustly and uncxpeotedly pro
voked by the Americans," refers to
his manifesto of January S publishing
thc alleged grievances of thc Filipinos
at the hands of thc army of occupation
; atm thc "constant outrages and taunts
, which have been causing misery to
thc Manilians." ami refers to "the
useless conferences" and "contempt
shown for thc Filipino government"
as providing a "premeditated trans
gression of justice and liberty."
Thc rebel leader also refers to the
former losses of the Filipinos, but
says "slavery is bitter," and calls
upon them to "sacrifice all upon the
altar of honor aud national integrity."
He insists that he tried to avoid, so
far as possible, an armed conflict, but
claims that all his efforts "were use
loss beforo the unmeasured pride of
? ht* Aoieiii-.m-.'' whom If chai/ --i as
h tying treated him a- a rc ho I ''because
I 'i< fended thc interests hf my coun
try and would not become tie- i TI -1 ru -
ment nf their dastardly intentions.''
Aguinaldo concludes with .-aying:
"Ho not discouraged. Our indepen
dence was watered freely by the blood
. d' martyrs, and more will be shed in
the future to strengthen it. Keinem
ber that efforts are not to bc wasted
that ends may be gained. It is indis
pensable to adjust our actions to the
rules of law and right and to learn to
triumph over our enemies.'
DESPERADOES ll K?.D IN eilK? K.
MANILA, Fob. 7.-H p. m.-There
are many indications that Manila is
full of desperadoes who had intended
to co-operate with Aguinaldo. The
police are continually capturing men
and women with weapons conccale ' in
their clothing. The vigilance of the
authorities in this respect is highly
reassuring.

Igorrotcs, who charged desperately
and uselessly.
The rebel prisoners declare that the

WHAT TH Ki SAY.
Lt'Niiti.N, Keb. 7. The president of
the Li: rope a u filipino junta in an in
terview with a representative of thc
Associated I'ress to-day, said: "ll is
perfectly char that the unfortunate
hostilities at .'danila were occasioned
by au attempt of thc Nebraskans to
lind a place tu obtain control of the
Siugalon waterworks! Thc Ameri
can- for mouth: have endeavored fruit
1 - ly tu ?millee the filipino- to with
draw from ihos?; work.-, as the latter
fully recognized their immense stra
tegic importance.
"As the Americans have captured
thc waterworks, the filipinos will now
have to retire to thc mountains of Sa:i
Moioo and lloso-iloso, which, as they
arc only an hour's distance, command
the capital and it will be impossible tc
dislodge them from there.
"Thc whole Filipino strength wil
now be devoted to the protection ol
the country outside of Manila, ai
Aguinaldo is aware that, even if h<
captured thc city, he could not hole
it with thc American warships in tb?
bay."
M A YUK IT WAS DEWEY* 8 ACT.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-It may b<
that it was Admiral Dewey's act ii
seizing a vessel loaded with arms fo
them that inticed thc Philippine in
surgents to attack the American sol
dicrs Saturday night, for it is under
stood that one of the bitterest of the!
grievances was what they declared th
unwarrantable interference with thei
shipping. It is learned at the nav;
department that about a week ago th
admiral caused thc seizure of th
schooner Teneng, with a full suppl;
of such arms for the insurgents. Th
admiral's report distdoses thc fact tha
au American and not a <. crinan owne<
the vessel thus used to arm thc insui
gents against Otis' troops.

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-There wi
, an almost coin pluto release to-day <?i'
?tin: tension lintier which tin- rapid
oeeurrence of events in tin- Philip
pines hus hehl the officials of the ad
ministration since the first startling
news fruin Manila Saturday night.
This was brought about through thc
receipt of a cablegram from Gen. Otis
summing up the last results of the
lighting he has had with thc natives.
The statement that Aguinaldo's in
fluence has been destroyed ami that
the Philippine leader was seeking for
a cessation of hostilities ami for a
conference was most acceptable arid
was interpreted as an admission that
lu* had realized his terrible mistake.
It is entirely improbable that ho will
bc able to.restore anything like the
status <juo or to obtain anything like
the same terms as were possible last
week. No one here now knows just
what Gen. Otis intends to impose in
tin; way of terms.
Secretary Alger this afternoon re
peated bis statement of yesterday, that
bc bad given the general no instruc
tions since the battle .uni saw no rea
son for giving any. Ile realized, be
said, that (ion. Otis lr dug on the
ground ami having proved his fitness
was in better position to deal with thu
ii w it i m I lian any'Mi-' in Washington,
Should thc g?nerai ask |-' rmi.-sioit.
i!:< ri fore, to do .uiythiu'j bc would bu
granted it immediately. ''Should hu
a-!v for instructions on any point.''
-aid Secretary Algi r. ''hu will bo told
to exercise his own discretion.''
In view ol' this case, it will he seen
that no ono hore eau tell at present
how Otis will act toward Aguinaldo's
application. I>ut thc opinion is ex
pressed by men beru who know of Gen.
Otis' experience with the Indians that
be will make the laying down of amis
thu condition in dealing with thu in
surgents, if at all. That condition
being mut, of course, it will muan a
speedy termination of thu rebellion.
A SHARI' SK I KU t SM.
MANILA, Feb. S., (Noon)-Last
evening as thu Filipinos at Caloaean
were evidently massing for a night at
tack upon thu American left wing,
Companies Ii, (' ami 1 of thc Twen
tieth Kansas infantry were ordered to
attack and drive the sharpshooters
from a bamboo jungle in front nf the
tiring 'lin--, where they iiad caused
considerable annoyance all the after
noon. The battalion charged bril
liantly, driving thc enemy like chuff
and penetrating to tho very heart of
( 'nloacan.
First Lieut. A. C. Alford, as cabled
last night, was killel while leading
his company. Ile was shot in the
forehead. Scrgt. Jay Sheldon, Com
pany I, was seriously wounded. Pri
vates hamel Hewitt (llealitt), Kniest
Fritz, John ( ? i Hilan tmd two others,
members of Company I>, were slightly
wuutidcd. Thirty dead Filipinos were
counted in the brush, and there were
many more wounded. The gunboats
Concord and Calio kent up an inces
sant fire from thc bay, the Concord
dropping many shells in the town witli
telling effect. In order to avoid acci
dents from this source, Gen. Otis wai
compelled to recall the Kansas buttai
ion, after burning the outskirts of tin
town. Either the shells of the Amer
ican warships or the natives them
selves fired a number of building:
within the town limits. Presumably
this was the result of the shelling
No further attempt to attack dur i nj
the night was made by either side.
The Spanish papers generally com
ment in favorable terms upon thc ad
mirable order maintained in Manila.
The Union Ib?rica says: "We an
satisfied that the Americans, who an
for the greater part volunteers, fough
coolly and with perfect discipline
though without entrenchments, at tin
various points defended. They dc
nionstrated thc spirit which animate
them. The Filipinos, who are uccus
tom id to fight in trenohes or witl
guerrilla methods, ulso fought brave
ly, but with less precision and regu
larity."
AT 1'ASKl ANI. PARANAGUK.
The situation to-day is practical!;
unchanged. The American line ha
not been appreciably extended and th
troops generally ure taking mucl
needed rest. Hcconnoissunces shov
tho Filipinos arc in force in the vii
lagos of l'asig and Parauuque. prob
ably 7,OOO men at thc later place
within strong fortifications. All i
quiet ulong the linc when this dis
patch is filed at noon.
5:15 p. m.-Tho provost guard is ii
absolute control of Manila. All fear
of a native uprising in the city wer
dispelled by the promptitude whiol
quelled the outbreak on Monday even
ing. Tho streets were deserted los
evening by ?? o'clock, not a light wa
to bo seen in the native quarter.
Tho Filipinos, acoustomcd to Span
ish methods, are constantly inquiri?
of the American soldiers when tb
prisoners are to be executed. The;
seem unable to realize that order
have not already been issued for tb
execution. Indeed, headquarters i
besieged by women anxious to plea
for the lives of their relatives an
friends.
All is quiet at Cavile. Owing t
the lack of supplies in the adjacon
village of San Roque, Commissar;
Milliken has been authorised to se!
necessaries to those able to pay fo
them, and there will be a distribution
of free rations to others. The rebels,
it appears, had loopholed a church
tower, iu Cavite, evidently with the
purpose of oecupyiug it with, sharp
shooters.
Senor Aguillos, thc Filipino ex-com
missioner, made an unofficial visit to
<?en. Otis to-day. To-morrow is the
first day of the Chinese New Year and
orders have been issued prohibiting
fireworks. Pumping at thc water
works bas been resumed.
Gen. Hale's brigade, consisting of
the First South Dakota infantry, First
Colorado infantry and the First Ne
braska infantry, supported by a bat
tery of the Utah Light artillery, occu
pies thc most advanced post in the
American linc, fully ten miles from
the base of supplies. It has an al
ni ist perfect position. Four guns of
the Utah artillery stationed on a hill
behind the waterworks command the
valley to the right and left and the
foothills in front.
Two companies of the Colorados
support the Twenty third infantry,
which is encamped near the water
works, while thc Nebraskan- are en
camped atibe reservoir, three miles
to die rear. Outposts line the ridge
overlooking the valley, while a sand
?.auk eui renell inen t. with gun emplace
ment -. front - t he ri vcr.
Yesterday thu I'tahs shelled into
tho villages across the river. Thc na
tives disappeared among the hills,
t he main body retiring to the right and
others scatteiiug. Subsequently, the
Americans reconnoitered and found
thc village of San Pedro completely
deserted. They did not bum it, and
to-day the villagers returned in small
parties, bearing bamboos to which
white Hags were fastened. They kept,
however, out of range. Later signal
fires were lighted along the ridge on
the other side of the valley.
The American troops are in excel
lent spirits, and appear to regard their
experiences as a picnic rather than a
ste n reality. One burly Coloradan,
who was discussing the capture of the
waterworks, said it reminded him of a
rabbit drive on the Colorado plains.
Gen. Ovcnshinc's brigade, the
Fourth cavalry, Fourteenth infantry,
First North Dakota infantry, on the
right did some reconnoitering to day,
but otherwise they have been taking
matters easily. The First Washing
ton infantry, the Fir.-l idaho infantiy
and the North Dakota are strung out
from blockhouse No. ll thc old Span
ish trenches southwest of Malaie fort,
where thc Fourteenth infantry is
quartered.
A few native houses from which
shots were fired were burned, but most
of the others are either vacant or
marked with white Hags.
Thc enemy is obviously concentrated
at Paranaquc. Gen. King's brigade,
which includes thc First California
infautry aud First United States in
fantry, has been compelled to destroy
the village of San Pedro M?cate, as
the natives, moviug from house to
house, fired from the windows as the
Americans advanced. The Fourth
?rtillery has hugely enjoyed foragiug
for food. All this is left of Paco, aud
Santana is occupied by the Califor
nians.
THE LATEST FIRING.
I MANILA, Feb. 8, ll a. m.-the Fil
ipinos at Caloacan opened fire last
evening jusibsfere ni id rn g ht- upon the
; Kansas outposts, on extreme left
American line.
They maintained a fusilade of mus
ketry, supplemented by an occasional
shot from two big guns for about 20
minutes. Thc Americans did not
reply.
Thc enemy fired at long range and
nobody was hurt.
All was quiet along thc rest of the
line and there was no change in tho
American position during the night.
