If after all, a rising does 'lake place, there is no doubt that there will be an immense slaughter of men of all nationiktina. It la hoped though the Philipinos will lay down their arms and peacefully conduct themselves..
News from Iloilo states that almost the entire town has been ruined, this being the work of the Philipinos, It is much more serious than at first understood from the meagre reporte to hand..

On Friday afternoon, the town was at tacked by the combined force of the navy and army. The Monadnock bombarded the place, her shots being most effective. Following the firing of the warship, the infantry advanced. On the extreme left of the brush, were the Kansas men, then followed the Montana and 3rd Artillery (used as infantry) with the Idaho in reserve. Early in the fight, smoke started up in the trees and through this mass of flames and brush the Kansas men fought their way' driving the enemy almost from tree to tree back to the church and stone build- ings near the railroad. The Philipino entrench- ments were most strategically constructed, be- ing hollows from 12 to 15 inches deep behind rice field ridges, just enough to accomodate a crouching man. At n distance of ten yards one would be unaware that a trap lay in front In spite of the impediments the Mon- tanas and 3rd Artillery advanced steadily The mattres tought with great bravery, remain- ing by- their positions, despite the heavy cement and at the close the Americans had artillery fire, until the Americans were right ever, contrary to The" expectations of the crew 1849-Defeat of the Sikhs at Goojerat by Lord published for general information.
up to them. They were steadily driven back to the last trenches, and thence into the brush where they kept up an incessant fire until dark. When the Americans entered Caloocan, they found the town practically in a state of ruin. The American loss was 8 killed and 34 wounded, The enemy had about 200 killed. The number of wounded isnot known as the menyere carried away. It would appear that the enemy had a special, corps at work whose duty it was to collect the rifles of the wounded and dead. This shows that they have no arms to spare and are en: deavouring to save as many as possible; empty castridges, found in the pockets of the dead, indicate that the Philipinos are short of am- munition.
Immediately following the outpost incident above chronicled, the Philipinos made a general extended attack on all the American outposts, but they counted without their host. As was only to be expected, they were disastrously defeated and repulsed, with a loss of from four to five thousand killed and wounded, whilst on the American side, the casualties amounted to Sity killed and 125 wounded. The whole of the American force engaged could not have exceeded 6,000 whilst that of the enemy was scarcely less than 50,000. The battle lasted for about 14 hours, from gpm, on the Saturday, to the forenoon of the following day, and during all this period the firing was continuous and heavy. Admiral Dewey's ships shelled the Philipino positions making great havoc, and if it were not for this assistance the American loss- es would have been much greater. The Ameri- can changes on the trenches and block houses, were the great features of the battle. The Phil pinos were driven back from the very commen-
gained about five miles along the line. The American firing line, at one stage of the engage- ment, extended over a length of fifteen miles. and what was most remarkable was that this extensive line was held by a handful of six thousand men against overwhelming odds.
It has been previously reported that Aguinaldo had proposed a suspension of hostilities and the opening official announcents from Headquarters state that no duly accredited representatives of Aguinaldo have visited the American authorites. Several Philipino officers passed the American lines, presumably to lay their cause before the authorities, but they have brought no direct communication from their leaders.
This is apparently consistent with the two followipgproclamations issued by Aguinaldo- GENERAL ORDER TO THE PHILIPPINE ARMY.
At nine o'clock p.m. this date, f received from Calcuocan station amessage communicated to me that the American forces attacked, with out prior notification or any Just motive, our camp in San Juan del Monte and our forces garrisoning the blockhouses around the outskirts of Manila, causing losses among our soldiers, who in view of this unexpected aggression and of the decided attack of the aggressors, were obliged to defend themselves until the ring became general all along the line.
No one can deplore more than I this opening of hostilities; I have a clear conscience that have endeavoured to avoid it at all costs, using all my efforts to preserve friendship with the Army of Occupation, even at the cost of not a few humiliations and many rights sacrificed.
But it is my unavoidable duty to maintain the integrity of the national honor, and that of the army so unjustly attacked by these who, posing as trieda and liberators, attempt to dominate over us in place of the Spaniards, as is shown by the grievances enumerated in my manifesto of January 8th, last; the continued outrages and violent exactions committed against the people of Manila; the useless cón. ferences and all my frustrated efforts in favour of peace and concord.
Caloocan will probably be converted in to an advanced military depot. Its location on the railroad and steam tram lines is favourable for the rapid accumulation of troops and supplies. It is somewhat higher than the surrounding country and is known as a healthy place.
On Saturday morning last, General Millar issued a proclamation to the Philipine leaders, at Iloilo demanding the immediate evacua

A detachment of men from the Boston landed and hoisted the Stars and Stripes over the old Spanish fort.

TO THE PHILIPPINE PEOPLE.
By my proclamation of yesterday I have pub lished the outbreak of hostilities between the Phillippine Forces and the American Forces, of Occupation in Manila, unjustly and unexpected ly provoked by the latter.
My manifeste af January 8th, last, has publish ed the grievances suffered by the Philippine Amy at the hands of the Army of Occupation; ths: proclamation of General Oils relates the Finsults to the Philippine people; the constant outrages and taunts which have caused the misery of the people of Manila ; and finally the useless conference and the contempt shown the Philippine Government proved a premeditated transgression of justice and of liberty,
In the direction of Pasig, there have been several little "scraps," the enemy being in variably driven back in every case." Six Americans were wounded in one of these en- gagements, fatality occur
A sad drowning fatality occurred the other day: Lieutenant Harding, of the Sauth Dakota Regiment was assisting in the transporting of a gun when the boat capsized. The gun unfortunately got on top of the officer and he was drowned. The other two men who were in the boat were saved

A steamer, owned by a local, company, had an unusual, experience some short while ago. She was in a southern port when the captain and officers were invited on shore to a festa. They were only toe glad to accept the invita tion as an appreciable diversion from the monotony of being contined on board. ship: However, later on in the day, the chief officer returned accompanied by a dark woman whom he tuck into his cabin. The chief officer, how 1733-George Washington born." came out of his cabin taking his usual rounds. He found the crew in the net of extracting money from the hold and on being discovered, the latter seized the officer and threw him over. board. Everything having been cleared, the crew made away with $5,000. It is believed that the fiesta and the dark woman were both
