The peaceful condition of things in the city is a festimonial of the excellent manner in which they attended to their duties.

The members of the hospital corps through out the entire Eighth Army Corps covered themselves with honor. They were to be seen all over the field carrying of those who had been injured and attending to their wounds. Naturally the first to receive their attentions were Americans, but as soon as they had been fixeil up, the wounded insurgents were gathered -up and taken care of The doctors wont among the insurgents who were lying, upon the field and carefully examined each one
Those already dead were placed in a row to one side, while the wounded were carried to the field hospitals where they received equally as much care and attention as if they had been our friends. One man, as soon as he saw the boys in blue called out American agua." He was given water and then asked for food, This also was given him after which he looked up with a smile on his face and said; “ Ameri- { cano, mucho bučno. Filipino mucho malo combatte Americano." He was carried off to the hospital where a long lom bullet was extracted from his side. The Surgeons rode over the field and dieeted the hospital stewards in the more difficult cases. Dend and dying insurgents were found behind. hedges, under houses and in the brush, but they were all given what surgical ad was at hand. The dead ware buried on the battlefield.
The engineer corps gave a good account of themselves. They started from their quarters at 7 o'clock for the front. On their way out they found that the insurgents had taken pos session of the English cemetry and three com panies of the California regiment were trying to drive theat out. The engineers lined up and assisted the boys from the Bear State to skin the insurrectos. This was accomplished by a flank movement from the right and resulted in the insurgents retiring, leaving 19 of their men on the ground. The corps then scoured the woods to the right, after which they assisted the Californias and Wyomings to capture Saint Pedro, driving the insurgents out of this village and afterwards destroying it by fire,
The First Washington and First California Volunteers fought their way from l'aco to Santa Auna foot by foot taking every blockhouse on the way and driving the insurgents completely from the field.--Every house from Paco on was burned to the ground and many insurgents were left dead on the road, in the rice fields. and shrubbery.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1899.
such a'rising, and any natives acting in a sus [picious immuner were immediately arrested. and by these means, the city was kept perfectly quiet during the engagement at the outposts. As a proof that the natives in Manila are hostile to the Americans, Aguinaldo for some time past has been collecting taxes from them, the Philipinos, even officers and soldiers, being allowed by General Otis to come within the city as long as they came unarmed. The Philipinos fought most stubbornly and as those who were armed with rifles were forced to retreat their places were taken by those from the interior of the island who were only armed with bows and, arrows.
An American officer of high standing, who arrived from Manila by the Esmeralda, informis us that the whole fight of Saturday and Sun- day amse from a couple of Philipinos attempt ing to pass the American lines. Their being refused passage resulted in the Philipine post to which they belonged opening fire on the Americans at Santa Mean and the fight soon became general all along the line. It appears that Aguinaldo was at Malolos at time of the attack and that all the higher officers of the Philipinokarmy were attending a function of some kind at San Fernando so that the fighting was conducted on the part of the Philipinos practically without leaders. This being the ease the victory of the Americans was rendered con- siderably more sure thau had the Pilipinos been ably commanded and properly led. They are said to have exhibited indomitable pluck but failed for want of organization and tactical knowledge on the part of their officers.
The intentions of General Otis are believed to be to push forward the American lines far enough in all directions to enusre the safety of Manila without weakening the American position by a too extended front. It is thought improbable that an attack will be delivered upon Malotos at present, at all events. The principal ports are to be attacked, however, in order that as much as possible of the Philipino revenue may be cut off.
When the Esmeralda left, affairs in Manila itself were quite quiet and the Philipino wounded were being attended by American doctors in the hospitals.

BUSPICOUS PROCEEDINGS, OF FOREIGNERS AT FORT ETANJONG KATONG,
Singapore, February 2nd.
We desire to draw the attention of the
General Officer Commanding and of the Senior Naval Officer to a suspicious incident reported to us on good authority as having taken place at Fort Tanjong Katong yesterday afternoon.
As a European resident of this place, a British subject, who had been having a swim off the Swimming Club's premises, was taking a stroll along the beach towards the iron pier, he ob served a gig. (evidently belonging to a foreign cruiser at the man-of-war anchorage) lying att the end of the iron pier, one man in the boat and two sitting on the pier. Continuing his walk, he came on a party of one officer and four bluejackets just at the foot of the range-finding platform busily engaged with a surveying in- strument set up on a tripod, the officer being seated at this on a sort of camp stool, The instrument appeared to be of the nature of a combined camera and theodolite. The officer directed the instrument first upon the nearest gun emplacement, taking bearings and notes, and then upon the craiser and other points, noting all details down in a notebook. The bluejackets with the officer were mean while "semaphoring" with their anns to the party at the end of the pier.
The European referred to walked, past the -party towards the landward end of the pier and then turned back again, as the proceedings to his mind seemed curious, No one else was about, at that hour-3.30 p.m. to 4 pm, not even a native, and the foreigners had the whole place to themselves. On again coming up to the survey party the officer addressing the European in broken English, asked if the ground thereabouts belonged to him Reply. ing in German he stated that it did not. The of taking apparently photographs and bearings in a perfectly unconcerned manner, the Euro. pean going on his way and leaving them there. He is of opinion from, their accent, that they were Austrians, the officer not appearing to be quite at home with German. They were not ftalians, he is of opinion.
officer and men then went on with their work
Now it is obvious that this "naval intelli- gence party were, quite knowingly, engaged in work that they were aware was punishable by law, very severely punishable in some fore ign countries,
Much interest was taken in the match played on Thurday last between H.M.S. Victorious and E. Company of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. On the Saturday previous, A. Company of

miany prisoners were taken-A barrack occupied during the day by the insurgents was taken possession of by the California, Upon taking possession they found thirty or more woundell insurgents there. Brig. Geil. Charles King was in command and has endeared him self to the men by his calm and soldierly ba- havior.
While the men were lighting gallantly in the front the 13th Minnesota was not idle in the city Captain Morgan of Co. . and his man arrested 25 natives who were enlisted to serve in this city as part of the insurgent army. Most
of them "had" arms concealed about them, Captain Metz of Co. D, with his company arrested 70 more of them, all having insurgent Enlistment papers and concealed weapons, Among the articles captured by this company was a complete set of dies for making insurgent buttons and ensignas..
The Manila Times of the 6th instant prints the list of American killed and wounded, from which it appears that the 1st Idaho Regiment lost Major McCounville and 3 men; 1st Cali. fornia, 3 men; 1st Washington, 9 men; 1st Nebraska, 4 mep; 14th Infantry, 14 men; 3rd Provost Brigade, Colonel Artillery, 3 men Smith; 1st Colorado, z men; toth Pennsyl vania.

on Thursday, when the sailors and soldiers met to play the first match in the second round for the Shield, but the Fusiliers were severely beaten, the British battleship's team leaving the field a winner by six goals to ni being the biggest score made so far. The blue- jackets kicked off, but the match had only been progress a few minutes, when Millar was rendered hors de combat. Dr. Atkinson was upon the field, and it looked as if the sailors would the ground and gave his services. Millar left
have to play one short, but the injured mari, after a few minutes rest, entered the field of play, From the beginning, it was patent which was the best team, and the sailors kept up a hot attack, Lismore eventually securing the ball. His attempt at goat resulted in the leather striking the crossbar and rebounding into play right on to the toes of Millar, who landed it into the net. Do all they might, the soldiers could, not break away, and Lewis sent in a hard shot, which the. goalkeeper saved, but the ball acrewed away to Lismore and he cleverly cored, McNee, Butland and Lewis were the naxt to try to increase the score, but Thomas saved well, especially Butland's low shots, Half time was called by the referee soon after. the sailors being then two goals to the good,
The play in the second half was mast disappointing the part of the Fusiliers, and before the finish of the game they had four more goals scored against them. Butland was the first to natch a point, which was quickly followed by another off McNee. The fatter a little later managed to put the ball into the net again from a pass by Lewis, Butland was apparently not satisfied with an odd score, and added another goal, making the half-dozen. Occasionally during this half the Fusiliers got away, but they were never dangerous, and final- ly had to leave the field badly beaten. What the forwards were capable of doing it is not easy to guess at, for they hardly ever had the chance to demonstrate, although it was quite plain that Chamberlain was too slow in his position. The backs, however, considering the many attacks upon them did very well. The naval halves fed their forwards with judgement, and the front rank availed themselves of the feed- ing and did all the scoring Millar, McNee, and Butland were all in splendid form. The contra work of the latter was well work seeing, and we have no hesitation in saying that he s the best centre forward in the Colony. Of the backs, Kane was the best.
PERSONAL ACCOUNTS, `- One of nur representatives had this morning an interview with Mr. W. Layrio, an Australian gentleman who was in Manila on business during the time of the fighting. He kindly gave us the following facts. On Saturday the town of fapila was perfectly quiet and the first intimations that the residents had of disturb ance was the firing of the big guns from the warships in the harbour. There is no doubt that the fighting was begun at the qutposts by the Philipinos, who were strongly entrenched, while the American forces had no cover but acted throughout on the offensive, driving the insurgents back with fearful slaughter. The Philippinos were very well armed with the Mauser Rifte and soue firing brass bullets that it is supposed they lind taken from the Spaniards great numbers of these were taken by the U, S. soldiers. Two field guns were also captured which the Philipinos had taken from Cavite. There is no doubt that the natives fought wall but were terribly demoralized by having no genemis or persons capable of Mr. Oliver was the referee, and performed taking command when the fight became general, his task with satisfaction; but we would suggest many of them not taking time to put the rifle that he be more punctual in future in putting to the shoulder but firing with the but on the in his appearance.

The incident is one that should be looked into as it amounts to gross abuse of the hospitality rendered at this port to foreign slips of war, We once noticed through the big telescope at the Singapore Club, two or three Russian officers on board the cruiser Rossi examining For Tanjong Katong long and minutely, also through a large teles- cope. That sort of thing, of course, cannot be interfered with. Our officers do it themselves wherever they go. But that is a very different thing from landing at a fort, with a prohibitory notice in English and French staring one in the face, and deliberately taking bearings and notes in such manner that at Vladivostock would mean, probably, if detected, disappear ance for life within the fortress walls,
Since the above was written it is ascertained
that a similar Austrian party was discovered close to Fort Canning engaged with a similar instrument. On the party being caught at work the officer gave up his card, and was per- mitted in leave, for the time being. Whether it was the same party we do not yet know, not being aware of the time of the Fort Canning incident. The matter is however now in the hands of the military authorities.-S. F. Press.
HOW TO DISTINGUISH THE
SEXES.
"The harmless male mosquito can be dis tinguished from the females (which alone bite and suck blood) by the possession of plumose head; in the females the antennae, though antennae and palpi forming tufts in front of the long, are nearly bare, (having whorls of short hair at the bases of the joints), while palpi in the case of females of the typical genus Culex, to which the majority of the prescribed species belong, are quite short." The above is from a memorandum of the Natural History Museum, South Kensington, "How tocollect Mosquitoes," sent out by the Commission on Malaria. The biting sex being thus discriminated in Cufer, similar information is desired with regard to Puler. Then we shall be able to treat our mid night visitors properly-not at home to the ladies, a passive indiference to the other sex. 5. F. Priss
