WaaiimoTon. Feb. 7. Admiral Dew
ey cabled the navy department to-day
aa follows:
"Miwn.a.Feb. .Secretary of Navy,
Washington: Insurgents have attacked
Manila. The Hoston leave to-day for
Hollo to relieve the Baltimore, which
will return to Manila. Two men
wounded yesterday on board Monad
nock, one aorlously. Dewey."
Army ollleers believe Dewey'a laat
dispatch is a belated telegram, while
naval officers believe Just the opposite,
saying that It refers to a second en
gagement. A I-tter lUporl From Otla
W-siiixotoji, Fob. 7. The eccono
bulletin received from Ueneral Otif
contained the list of casualties in tbr
Manila fight. General Otla seems U
have abandoned the style of report b
adopted in the first bulletin and, In
stead of giving a list of casualties by
brigades, he appear to bare summar
ized all of the killed in the second
bulletin, in addition to the eight men
tioned aa killed In the first bulletin
along with the wounded, The second
bulletin contains a list of tulrty-twc
dead, making, in addition to the
previous bulletin n total of forty
killed In the battle of Hutu relay night
and Sunday. There are no Kansani
reported dead or wounded so fur.

OFFER LITTLE OPPOSITION.
Evldanoa of Terrible Blaogbter Among

Vwmf Wanblp.
MintLA, Feb, 8. Tbe American
are in complete control of the situa
tion within a radius of nine mile of
Manila. Their lines extend to Mala
bon on the north apd to Paranaque on
tbe south, fully twenty-fire miles
long.
While a few detached bodice of the
enemy offer desultory opposition the
main body of the rebels is in full re
treat and utterly routed
Of the horde of troop originally
drawn up In battle array against the
Americana fully one-third are already
Incapaciatcd and the other are scat
tered in every direction.
The terrible lo of the rebels may
be gathered from tbe fact that sixteen
of them were burled in one rice field
near Pasas, and that eighty-seven
were interred between Paco and Bun
tana. A converted river gunboat did ter
rible execution among the rebels,
sweeping both banks of the river with
her Uatllng gun and her heavier
battery. Hundred at Filipino
crawled Into tbe canebrake and died
there,
The American are working nobly
in their effort to find the wounded,
and are bringing hundreds of suffering
rebel to tlio hospital for treatment,
Tbe native are unable to succor the
wounded of the enemy.
Member of the hospital corps have
discovered that there are several
women, in male dress and with hair
cropped, among tbe dead.
The chief of the Ygorotcs, the Fili
pino natives who fought so gallantly
in the face of our artillery fire, with
their bow and arrows, is in a hospital
with a shattered thigh. He admits
that he never saw modern artillery
and was ignorant of it effect until
be and hi follower met the disas
trous fire of Sunday morning.
The chief Is bitterly incensed against
the Tugalo for placing the Ygorotea
in front of the American buttery, un
der the pretense that they were sent
tooccupy a post of honor. He inti
mates that the Ygorote will avenge

FILIPINO OFFICIALS DISAPPEAR,
It is regarded as a significant fact
that many of tbe Filipino ofllciaUof
this city dlaappcared from Manila ae
-oon as hostilities commenced. Some
of them are supposed to be still hiding
her.
Hnndrede of women are pouring Into
v.nti, from u districts, aa the rll-
lages around Manila, as a rule, have
been destroyed by the troops.
The further the Americans extend
their lines the more the need of means
of transportation increases. The
American commandera have already
been compelled to impress horses and
vehicles on all aide to the inconven
ience, naturally, of the civilian.
All the public conveyances have
either been impressed or have disap
peared In soma manner or other.
Street car traffic, however, has been
rftumd, and the eara are running
regularly, though the streets are al
most deserted,
WHITE FLAGS NOT TRUSTED.

Tbe result was shown in the heaps of
dead found In the trenches,
During one part of the engagement
west of the town the native force be
came panic stricken. They tried toes

a captured Spanish gunboat, threw
hell Into them, and the Filipino ran
into the river in drovea
Soon after the fight opened Satur

THE KAISER'S CONSUL IN IT,
Weahlai-too Authorities Have Informa
tloa That II Was Conoernad la tbe

Nw York, Feb. 8. A dispatch to
he New York Herald from Washing
ton say: "Rear Admlrsi Dewey has
notified the Navy department that h
has seized another achooner loaded
with arm and ammunition intended
for Aguinaldo and hi follower.
"Information in the possession of
the authorities i to the effect that
the German consul at Hong Kong wa
concerned in the sale of the arms to
th Filipino and thia fact may ac
count for their action in keeping the
matter eecret.
"There i reaaon to believe, how
ever, that the matter has been
brought, unofficially at least, to the ,
attention of the German authorities '
and that a representative of the Her-.
lln government has declared his con-'
vlctlon that it was wholly unaware of .
the conduct of its representative.

uninenaiiness or the Gorman
consul
, f
at Hong Kong for the United State,
Th State department recently re
ceived information that this oilicer had
been instrumental in the purchase by
agent of Aguinaldo from a German
firm in Hong Kong of ,ome thing like
30,000 stand of arm and ammunition
wlilch were safely delivered in the
Philippine. It seem, therefore, that
through German agendo the Filipino
are quite well armed,
"It 1 expected that Great Britain
will take step to prevent the ship
ment of arm and ammunition to tbe
Filipino from Hong Hong, and it
may be that their prevention will
cause the trader In Hong Kong to
move their ware to Chinese territory,
and then ship them to the archipel
ago. It will also be practicable for
the Filipinos to send supplies from
Cochin, China,"
WAiiimoTow, Feb, 8, According to
dispute-bet, it would seem that the in
surgents lack ammunition, as they
have been seeking to purchase it
everywhere and have been offering
high prices.
They recently gave it out that Gen
eral Rio had delivered to them 8.000
Mauser rifle and 3,000,000 cartridge
In exchange for prisoner, but tbi
General Rio denies.
Among the gun captured from the
Insurgents General Otis mention ev
eral Krupp field piece. All of theor
were made in Germany. '
