Washington. Feb. 6.-The contro-
versy in the senate over the vote upon
the various resolutions interpretative
Of the peace treaty took an acute turn
late today. The opposition to vote
FIRST came from the friends Of the
treaty. who held to the theory that it
could be ratified without compromise.
Those who apparently were then will
ing that vote should be taken today
held an opposite view, and absolutely
refuse to agree TO time for taking a
vote.
The contest occurred in the execu-
tive session, which did not occur until
quarter after o'clock. The next
hour and quater was spent in vain
endeavor on one side to get an agree
ment to date for vote upon the
resolutions. and on the other in more
successful effort to bring the days ses-
sion to close without allowing any
thing to be accomplished in that di-
rection.
After general debate on the subject
the senate adjourned.

Santa Mesa commenced . iusilade
which was Intellectual
The Nebraska, Montana and North
Dakota outposts replied vigorously. and
held their ground until reinforcements
arrived.
The Filipinos in the meantime con-
oentrated at three points. Calocan, Ga
galangin and Santa Mesa.
At about o'clock the Filipinos
opened hot fire from all thres places
simultaneously. This was supplement-
cd by the FIRE Of the two seige guns at
Balik- Balik and by advancing their
administers from Paco and Pandacan.
The Americans responded with a ter
rifio fire. but owing to the darkness
they were unable to determine it's effect.
The Utah light artillery finally sue
ceeded in sileneing the native battery.
The Third artillery also did good work
on the extreme left. The engagement
lasted over an hour.
The United States cruiser Charleston
and the gunboat Concord, stationed off
Malabon, opened fire from their second
ary batteries on the Filipinos' position
at Calocan and kept 1t up vigorously.
At 2:46 there was another fusilade
along the entire line and the United
States sea-going double-turreted moni-
tor Monadnock opened fire on the ene-
my from of Malate.
With daylight the Americans ad-
vanced. The California and Washing
ton regiments made splendid charge
and drove the Filipinos from the works
ct Paoo and Santa Mesa. The Nebraska
regiment also distinguished itself. cap
turing several prisoners and one How
itzer. and very strong position at the
reservoir. which is connected with the
waterworks.
The Kansas and Dakota regiments
compelled the enemy's right flank to
retire to Calocan.
There was intermittent firing at va
rious points all day long.
The American losses are estimated
at 30 men killed and 1876 wounded.
The IgoIotes, armed with bows and
arrows. made a determined stand in
the face OF hot artillery fire, and lef
many dead on the field.
Several attempts were made in this
city yesterday evening to assassinate
American officers.
