New York, August "a copy
righted cablegram from Manila
bay, August 4, via Hong Kong,
August 9, to the Evening World,
gives the following particulars of
the fighting near Malate, on the
night of July 81:
General Greene's force, number
ing four thousand men, had been
advancing and entrenching. The
arrival of the third expedition filled
the Spaniards with rage, and they
determined to give battle before
Camp Dewey could be reinforced.
The trenches extended from the
beach, three hundred yards to the
left flank Of the insurgents.
Sunday was the insurgent feast
day, and their left flank withdrew,
leaving the American right flank
exposed.
Companies A and E, of the Tenth
Pennsylvania and Utah battery
were ordered to reinforce the right
flank.
In the midst of a raging typhoon,
with tremendous downpour of rain,
the enemy's force, estimated at
5000 men, attempted to surprise
the camp. Our pickets were driven
in and the trenches assaulted.
The brave Pennsylvania men
never flinched, but stood their
ground under a whitening fire. The
alarm spread, and the First Califor-
mia regiment, with two companies
Of the Third artillery, who fight
with rifles, were sent up to rein
force the Pennsylvanians. The
enemy were on top of the trenches
when these reinforcements arrived,
and never was the discipline of the
regulars better demonstrated than
by the work of the Third artillery
under Captain O'Hara. Nothing
could be seen but flashes of Mauser
rifles.
Men ran right up to the attacking
Spaniards, and moved them down
with regular volleys.
The Utah battery, under Captain
Young, covered itself with glory.
The men pulled their guns through
mud axle-deep. The guns were
sent around in flank and poured in
a destructive enfilading fire. The
enemy was repulsed and retreated
in disorder. Our infantry had ex-
hausted its ammunition and did not
follow the enemy.
Net an inch of ground was lost,
but the scenes in the trenches was
one never to be forgotten.
During flashes of lightning, the
dead and wounded could be seen
lying in bloody-red water, but
neither the elements of heaven nor
the destructive power OF man
could wiring a cry of protest from
the wounded. They encouraged
their comrades to fight and hand
ed over their cartridge belts.
During the night the Spanish
scouts were seen carrying off dead
and wounded of the enemy.
The American dead were buried
next day, in the convent of Mar
acaban.
On the night of August 1. the
fighting was renewed, but the enc
my I'D been taught a lesson, and
made the attack at long range
with heavy artillery. The Utah
battery replied and the artillery
duel lasted an hour.
One man was killed. He was

and two men were wounded.

)flery duel was renewed.

ed the enemy before Malate on last

to retreat with heavy losses. Our

certain the exact losses of the
Spanish. The fighting lasted four
hours.
The Americans troops engaged
were part of the Tenth Pennsylva-
mia, First California and Third re-
gular artillery.
The Spanish led in the attack,
attempting to dislodge our troops
by a Ranking movement from the
strong position they have been
holding near the enemy's lines.
The position is still held by our
troops.
The three transports which sail
ed from San Francisco with Cen
eral Merritt, but which were delay
ed at Honolulu, arrived to-day. The
monitor Monterey also arrived.
A special to the Examiner from
Manila, dated July 81, via Hong
Kong, August 8, says: A heavy
engagement took place tonight be-
tween the American and Spanish
forces at Malate. The Spanish
made an attack, attempting to turn
our right. After AN hours fighting
they were repulsed. The troops en-
gagged were the First battalion, Cal

vania, First battalion, Third artil-
lery, regulars, and Battery A, Utah.
Cur loss was nine killed and forty
four wounded. The Spanish loss
was upward of 200 killed and 800

battle ragged for three hours.
Hong Kong, August 9.-The Ger

Manila on August 6, arrived here
to-day and brought the first news

heavy. The insurgent forces re-
manned neutral.
The attack was made on the
American camp between Cavite and
Manila during the night of July 81.
The Spaniards, who numbered over
5000 men, made several desperate
charges upon the American lines,
but each time the fire of the Ameri-
can troops drove the Spaniards
back and finally broke the Span
ish center and the enemy retreated.
Later, however, the Spaniards
made second attack, but were
again repulsed and retreated into
the bush. keeping up an incessant
fire on the roads leading to Manila,
over which they apparently expect
ed the American troops to advance.
Some estimates place the Spanish
losses at over 500 men killed and
wounded

CHANCE TO GET A FACTORY.

Yesterday Secretary q. A. Hays
of the Board of Trade received a
letter from Kimmons, Walker &
Co., making a proposition to erect
a hard wood factory here, spoken
of heretofore in these columns.
They say if Texarkana will give
them 81 900 IN cash and a good five
acre site, they viii erect a factory
here that will pay out in wages and
for material as much as 5000 to
$4OO dollars per day, and produce a
car load of hard wood shaped
material per day. Formerly said
factory would employ from % to so
men. This certainly seems rea-
sonable proposition, and our peO-
pie should not hesitate to accept of
same.
Mr.. Hays suggested that our
Board of Trade and citizens meet
at his office tomorrow afternoon at
3 o'clock to discuss and take action
in the matter. Let there be
good turn out.

SENSATIONAL MURDER TRIAL,

From Mai. A. II. Sewer We learn
that a sensational murder trial
will come up in Lafayette Circuit
court during this week, one OF the
defendants In the same a citizen of
Miller county.
1t appears that some years since
an old man by the name of Carlton,
who lived near Stamps was murder
ed in cold blood men with
blackened faces called him out of
his house just after night and shot
him to death, also shot a negro,
but he recovered; purpose of at
tack was evidently robbery, as old
man Carlton was known to have
considerable money about the
house, but the murderers became
scared for some reason, and ran
off without accomplishing their
object. Shortly after the killing
James Reyburu, who lived near
Genoa, Miller county, together
with another man, was indicted for
the murder, but cases were mol
pressed because no evidence was
found against them.
Some time recently a horse thief
by the name of Vaughn was cap
tured, and in developments testified
against Reyburn of this county,
and a man by the name of May
field, who lives near Stamps, La
fayette county, charging them with
the murder of old man Carlton,
and another true bill was secured,
and these two men will be tried for
the crime, as stated above. We
learn that there is much excite
ment and a sensational trial will no
boubt be had.
