During Wednesday night and Thursday morning farge unbers of natives came along the numerous creeks and salt-marshes of the Vitas district, fringing the sea-sliore between Malabon and Manila. Their intention was to cut off Caloocan entirely, and enter Tondo in rear of General McArthur's position. At the same time, an attack was made on Caloocan from the other side, the Philipino artillery opening fire u the Americans at daylight. They wure soon driven off by a few well-placed shells, and it was then discovered that swarns of them had got into Tondo, to aid their friends who were burning the place down. They threw up barriondes and breastworks in a very short time. Signals few like lighting between Ge- neral McArthur, General Hugins and Admiral Dewey. The 23rd Infantry, Minnesota and Ore. gon regiments from Manila and the Idahos and Montanas from Calovcan together with the war- ships combined to give the pooz, misguided natives a lesson. The Philipinos fought des perately but that was no use. In one house, surrounded by a stonewall, they tried to make a sund, and sixty dead bodies were found, in the enclosure. In another place, between Caloo. can and Malahou, they tried to hold a little bridge and 156 of them were found dead there. There must have been, judging by the leaps of corpses no less than 500 killed in the whole fight which was one of the stiffest of the present chinpaigh. The renirns of casualties on the American side so far show ten killed and thirty five wounded.

To provide against a recurrence of the fires and any rising in town, the following onder has been issued :--

Batil otherwise ordered, the inhabitants of Manila will confine themselves to their homes after 7 o'clock in the evening, and að that hour die streets will be cleared by the police.
