Manila, Feb. C The lone expected rupture between tho Americans and Filipinos has como at last. The former are now engaged In solving tho Philip pine problem with the utmost expe dition possible. The clash came at 8:45 Saturday evening, when throe daring Filipinos darted past tho Nebraska regiment's pickets nt Santa Mesa, but retired when challenged. They re peated the experiment without drawing the sentries' Are. But the third time Corporal Greely challenged the Fili pinos and then flred.kllllnB onrof them and wounding another. MAJOR. GENHTtALj OTIS. Almost immediately afterward tho Filipinos' line, from Caloocan to Santa Mesa, commenced a fusillade, which was ineffectual. Tho Nebraska, Mon tana and North Dakota outposts re plied vigorously and held tholrground until reinforcements arrived. Tho Filipinos In tho meantime con centrated at three points, Caloocan, Gagalangln and Santa Mesa. At about 1 o'clock the Filipinos opened a hot Are from all three places simultane ously. This was supplemented by the Are of two siege guns at Ballk-Balik, and by advancing their skirmishers at Paco and Pnadacan. Tho Americans re sponded with a terrific Are, but owing to tho darkness thoy were unable to determine its effect. Tho Utah light artillery Anally succeeded In silencing the native battery. The Third artil lery also did good work on the ex treme left. The engagement lasted over an hour. The United States cruiser Charleston nnd tho gunboat Concord, stationed oft Malabon, opened Are from their sec ondary batteries on the Filipino's po sition at Caloocan and kept It up vig orously. At 2:45 'there was another fusillade along the entire line and the United States sea going double monitor Mon adnock opened Are on the enemv frnm on niaiate.. EMILIO AGUINALDO. With daylight the Americans ad vanced. The California and Washing ton regiments made a splendid charge nnd drovo the Filipinos from tho vil lage of Paco and Santa Mesa. The Ne braska regiment also distinguished lt pelf, capturing several prisoners and 100 Howitzers and a very strong posi tion at the reservoir, which Is con pected with the water works. The Kansas and Dakota regiments com pelled the enemy's right flank to re tire to Caloocan. There was Intermit tent firing at various points all day long. Tho losses of tho Filipinos cannot be estimated at present, but thoy are known to be considerable. The Ameri can losses are estimated at 20 killed nnd 125 wounded. The Ygoratos, armed with bows and arrows, made a very de termined stand In the face of a hot Artillery Are and left many men dead on the Aeld. Several attempts were made In this city Saturday evening to assassinate American officers. the engagements hnjre pr0ved a Yer- ltablo slnugirtor for tho Filipinos, their Killed being reported as amounting to thousands. The American forces could scarcely have been better disposed. It Is now known that the attack was fully OXPOCtOU and that everv rjronnratlmi had boon mado to meet the contin gency. Firing Blackened at noon yesterday. me enemy being apparently demoral ized. Tho American troops, however, are fully equipped to meet a possible attack. Agulnaldo's private secretary has been nrresteu an a spy In Manila, More than a hundred wounded Fili pinos, taken from tho trenches, are be ing cared for In tho American hos pitals. The splendid pollco system pre vented a general outbreak In tho city, though several soldiers wero attacked by natives In the streets. Lieutenant Charles Hogan and Sergoant Wall were shot by three natives, tho former be ing seriously wounded and the latter slightly. Lieutenant Colonel Colton was attacked by a native with a sword, while riding In a carriage to tho front. Ho killed his assailant with his re volver. A sharpshooter within the American lines shot and killed a ser geant while he was sitting at a window of tho Second reserve hospital. Colonel William C. Smith died of apoplexy. Many of tho Insurgents wero driven Into the Paslg river and drowned, and several hundred wero taken prisoners. Caloocan, where much of the fight ing occurred, Is about Ave miles north of Manila and a mile Inland. Malabona Is about two miles to the northwest of Caloocan and on tho water front. It was from this place that tho cruiser Charleston and the gunboat Concord oponed fire on the Filipinos at Caloo can. Paco, one of the villages where the California and Washington regi ments made a splendid showing, Is a suburb a mile from Manila, It Is a well laid out town with stroets after the American fashion, and Is to the south west of tho city of Manila, just near the Paslg river. Malate, from which tho monitor Monadnock oponed Are, Is about two miles south of the capital city along the coast of the Bay of Manila. fl SECOJDMTTIiE I Cahle From Dewey Construed as News of Continued Hostilities.
