MANILA. Feb. 6—8:15 p. m—The
long expected rupture between the
Americans and the Filipinos has come
nt last. The former are now engaged
in solving the Philippine problem with
the utmost expedition possible.
The clash camo yesterday at 8:40
In the evening, when three daring Fil
ipinos darted past the Nebraska regi
ment’s pickets at Santa Mesa, but re
tired when challenged. They repeat
ed the experiment without drawing the
sentries. Hut the third time Corporal
Greeley challenged the Filipinos and
then tired, killing one of them ana
wounding unolhi r.
Almost immediately afterward the
Filipinos’ line Lorn Caloocan to Santa
Mesa commenced a fusillade which was
ineffectual.
The Nebraska, Montana and North
r Dakota outposts replied vigorously
and held their ground until reinforce
ments arrived.
The Filipinos In the meantime con
centrated at three points, Caloocan,
Gagalangin and Santa ifcsa.
At about 1 o’clock the Filipinos
opened a hot fire from all three places
simultaneously. This was s.ipp emeut
«i by the lire of two siege guns at
Balik-Balik and by advancing their
skirmishers from Paco and Pandacan.
The Americans responded with a
terrific fire, but owing to the dark
ness they were unable to determine
its effect.
The Utah light artillery finally
succeeded In silencing the native bat
tery.
The Third artillery also did good
work on the extreme left.
The engagement lasted over an
hour.
The United states cruiser cnaries
ton and the gunboat Concord, sta
tioned off Malabona, opened fire from
their secondary batteries on the Fil
ippinos' position at Caloocan and
kept it up vigorously.
At 2:45 there was another fusillade
along the entire line and the United
States seagoing double-turreted mon
itor Monadnock opened Are on the
enemy off Mulate.
With daylight the Americans ad
vanced. The California and Wash
ington regiments made a splendid
charge and drove the Filipinos from
the villages of Paco and Santa Mesa.
The Nebraska regiment also distin
guished Itself, capturing several pris
* oners and one howitzer and a very
strong position on the reservoir, that
Is connected with the water works
The Kansas and Dakota regiments
»ompelled the enemy’s right flank to
retire to Cnloocan.
There was Intermittent firing at va
rious points all day long. The losses
of the Tiliplnos cannot be estimated
at present, but they are known to be
considerable.
The American losses are estimated
at twenty men killed and 125 wounded.
The Ygorates, armed with bows and
arrows, made a very determined
stand in the face of a hot artillery
fire and left many dead on the field.
Several attempts were made in this
city yesterday evening to assassinate
American officers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6—12:15 a.
in.—The follwlng dispatch from Gen

OMAHA, Feb. 6.—These nine Ne
braska boys, says the Omaha Ilee, are
reported among the killed at Manila.
The First regiment was right at the
front of the lighting line and appar
ently was the heaviest sufferer flora
the fire of the insurgents. It is not
known to what extent it contributed
to the list of wounded.
As in the former battle of Manila,
It was one of the Nebraska hoys, this
time Corporal Greeiy, who fired ihe
first shot when the natives attempted
to pass the outposts. The pickets con
sisted of Nebraska, Montana and North
Dakota soldiers and they held their
ground until reinforcements arrived.
In the furious charge which drove
the enemy from its position the Ne
braska boys captured several prison
ers, one howitzer and a very strong
position on the reservoir which is con
nected with the waterworks.
It is plain from the list of killed that
all the companies in the Nebraska reg
iment porticipated In the conflict. At
the hour of going to press hut meager
information is available respecting tbs
Nebraska dead.
A cable messuge was received last
night from Manila signed by Captain
Taylor of the Thurston Rifles cou
tlirning the killing of Uallenger and
Kells of his company, both privates,
residing at Omaha.
Besides tne r irsi weurasKa me inner

LONDON, Feu. 0.—'lhe Morning Boat
publishes the following account of the
lighting at Manila: The immediate
cause of the attack wan an advance
by two Filipinos to the Nebraska out
post on the northeast of the city.
When ordered to halt they refused and
the sentry fired. An insurgent signal
gun was then fired from block house
No. 7 and an attack was immediately
begun on the Nebraska regiment. The
lighting soon spread on both sides un
til filing was In progress on all the
outposts around the city. The Ameri
can troops responded vigorously, the
insurgents fire being heavy and the at
lack evidently hurriedly planned.
Firing continued throughout thi
night, with an occasional cessation
*rom half an hour to an hour at a
lime.
At daybreak the war ships Charles
ton and Callao began shelling the
norlh side of the city Their fire was
followed later by that of the Monad
nock on tne southern side, the insurg
ent positions having been previously
accurately located.
The Filipino loss is reported to have
been heavy. The wounded on the
American side are now estimated at
200. Few Americans were killed.
The Americans began a vigorous ad
vance all along the line this morning
(Sunday) and were soon pressing
back the insurgents in evety direction
maintaining steadily their advanced
positions, and capturing the villages
of San Juan del Monte, Santa Ana,
San Pedro, Macati, Santa M-sa and
Lomin.

The Army Boef Question to Be
Investigated.
SUPPLIES AND MEN SCRUTINIZED.
_
If Allegation* Are I'nnupported Oeneral
May Be Court-Mrrtialrd Army Board
of Inquiry Ordered Thl* Action I* Oe- i
rlde<l I'pon After Conference In Cabinet
Meeting.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The pur
pose of the president to terminate the
unsatisfactory state of affairs that has
existed for some time as the results
of the numerous charges and counter
charges and Interviews respecting the
character of the army beef by insti
tuting a formal Inquiry into these mat
ters and endeavoring to place the re
sponsibility where it belongs was
made known today.
The inquiry will not he undertaken
before the commission to investigate
the conduct of the war has made its
reDort.
The scope of this new inquiry has
not been defined, hut It certainly will
embrace the allegations made l>y Gen.
Miles as to the character of the army
supplies and will involve that officer
to the extent that he must make those
charges good. To a certain degree
he will be on trial himself.
Should the charges be found well
established a heavy responsibility
would lie placed upon the packers and
persons concerned in the meat Inspec
tion and perhaps others; should they
fall unsupported. General Miles may
he obliged to answer to a court-mar
tial for reflecting on the character of
other officers.
The matter was discussed at some
length at today’s cabinet meeting and
although no definite decision was
reached, the concensus of opinion was
that such a proceeding should lie had.
It was argued that if the packers
who had furnished the beef to the ar
my had fraudulently supplied an arti
cle of the character charged by Gen
eral Miles, the country had a right to
know It, and if the charges were with
out foundation the people had an equal
right to know that fact. Justice to all
concerned, demanded that the whole
truth he brought to light.
It was also agreed that General
Mile* should not he suspended from
his office as commander of the army
pending such Investigation, as It was
not Intended that even by Inference
shouffi he he prejudiced of any wrong
doing in this connection.
It Is the expectation that the war In
vestigating commission will submit its
report to the president next Monday.
No one outside the committee is sup
posed to know what the nature of the
report will be. The method which Is to
he adopted, namely, a court of inquiry
to pass upon General Miles’ conduct,
Is taken to Indicate a knowledge on
the part of the administration of what
the report will have to say as bearing
upon the charges. The common im
pression Is that a court of Inquiry can
be ordered only upon the demand of
the officer whose conduct Is to be made
the subject, of investigation. While
that Is usually the case, there Is, how
ever, a reserve power In the president
to order such a court regardless of the
wishes of the officer concerned. The
authority Is contained In article 115 of
the Articles of War, which have the
force of statutes. It reads as follows:
The court of Inquiry to examine Into
the nature of any transaction of, or
accusation or Imputation against any
officer or soldier may he made bv the
president or any commanding officer,
but as courtR of Inquiry may be per
verted to dishonorable purposes and
may be employed In the hands of weak
and envious commandants as engines
for the destruction of military merit, ,
they shall never he ordered by any
commanding officer, except upon a de
mand by the officer or soldier whose
conduct Is to he Inquired Into.
It Is asserted In some quarters that
the above quoted regulation does not
permit the president himself to order
a court of Inquiry In the absence of a
demand bv the officer Interested, and
General Miles’ friends say that he has
not yet made any demand. Flut legal
authorities are against this conten
tion, and It Is said that the regulation
makes a very plain distinction for the
purpose expressly defined, hetween
the powers of the president and of
commanding officers
The purpose of the court of Inqtilrv
Is to Investigate the conduct of an of
ficer. It Is expressly prohibited by the
regulations from venturing any opin
ion on the merits of the case unless di
rected to do so by thp appointing an
thorlty. TTpon the presentment of (he
fact* made by the court of Inquiry the
president must determine whether or
not a court-martial shall follow.

WASHINGTON. Keb. 4.—Mr. Wol
cott of Colorado gave notice at the
opening of the senate's session yester
day that he would address the senate
today on the subject of expansion. Mr.
Hale of Maine prm«»teci the confer
ence report on toe dlp'.omatia and
consular appropriation hill and it was
agreed to. The provident tro tern
presented a memorial from the cham
ber of commerce of Nov/ Yora urging
the ratification of the peace treaty
Mr. Hale, chairman of Hie naval uf
fairs commitlee, favorably reported
the following Joint rwolution and tt
was adopted:
That the secretary of the navy is
hereby authorized to have erected In
the Colon cemeterv at Havana. Cuba,
a suitable granite monument to the
memory of the sailors and marine*
who lost their lives by the explosion
of the United 8tat»« stcaniahlp Maine
In the harbor of Havana on Kobruary
15, 1898, and whose remains ar* burled
In that cemetery, end t > s iltably In
scribe and enclose such monument,
and the sum of 910,000 Is appropriated
for this purpose.
Mr. Harris of Kansas offered the
following resolution, which ha asked
might lay on the table:
That the United States hereby dis
claims any disposition or intention to
exercise permanent sovereignly. Juila
dictlon or control over the Philippine
Islands, and assorts Its determination
when a stable government shall have
been erected therein entitle! to recog
nition as such, to transfer l~> said gov
ernment upon terms which shall be
reasonable and Just, all rights secured
under the cession by Bpaln, and to
thereupon leave the government and
control of the Islands to their people.
Mr. Money, In accordance with a
previous notice, began a discussion
of the expansion problem, speaking
in opposition to taking the Philippine
Islands. Mr. Money concluded at ii
o'clock and Mr. Daniel of Virginia
then addressed the senate on the same
subject.
i ouay, sam up, w«i are me uimcu
8tate* of America. Toworrow If a cer
tain treaty now pending before thle
body be ratified we will be tbe United
Slaton of America and Asia.”
It is seriously proposed, said be,
that we tnke to this country a large
and miscellaneous assortment of
Asiatic Island* and to make citizen*,
with all the right* of Inhabitants of
territories of the United State* th*
large and varied assortment of
Asiatics, Mongolians, Malays and ne
groes who inhabit them.
For his part he deemed it inexpedi
ent, unwise and unjust that we should
do tills tiling. "We are asked," said
he, “to go 7,000 miles from our shores
to grasp and hold as subjects 8,000,000
people by force of arms, and to uoio
the land until the American people
Hhall decide what disposition is to he
made of them.
"I do next believe the body of Ameri
can people understand the slgnlfiicance
of this treaty. 1 do not believe tkhat
some senators who are crying to us to
ratify the treaty understand it, 'lhe
treaty fixes the policy of the govern
ment. What may be done afterward 1*
merely clerical detail. The treaty is a
thoroughfare over which 8,0JU,uoo of
American citizens will march into this
union. It is a marriage of nations
Henceforth and forever the Flllplnoa
and Americans will lie one. 1 trust y*t
before the marriage is consummated
the spirit of American constitutional
liberty will arise and forbid the ban*.
What Is their relation to us that we
should set forth knlghtllke with lance
in rest to rescue them? We cannot
turn them back to Spain. The Ameri
can people cannot so treat those who
wore comrades on the field of battle.
They have not yet attained the dignity
and power of a nation. We <annot rec
ognize the Filipino republic. We have
only to look skyward to see the bird*
of prey circling about, ready to de
scend upon those who ace weak. What
next? The face of the treaty tells us.
Hot us treat the Fillpplnes as we treat
Cuba. We are now in military occu
pation of the Islands. I,at us remain
in military occupation until we have
assisted them with kindly offices and
force of arms if necessary to es
tablish such a government n* destiny
may have fitted them for.

Captain VVelby, a young cavalry
jffieer. recently spent a furlough In
trudging 2,000 miles through Thibet,
from Leb to Pekin. For fourteen
weeks he and his party did not meet a
single human being and rarely saw any
vegetation higher than a wild onion.
They crossed one pass which was 19,000
feet In height, and for a long time
their food consisted only of yak fat.
The people generally hate an
“agent,” but It is rare you find an
“agent" who Is not doing well. So It
doesn’t seem to make much difference
when a man Is unpopular.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it ia
manufactured by scientific proceaaea
known to the California Fio Sybup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fio Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fio Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It Is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company —
