Sunday and were soon pressing back
the insurgents in every direction,
maintaining steadily their advanced
positions, and captured the villages of
San Juan del Monte, Santa Ana, San
Pedro, Macati, Santa Mesa and
Lomin.
The splendid police system prevented
a general outbreak in the city, though
several soldiers were attacked by ma
tives in the streets. Lieutenant
Charles Hogan and Sergeant Walla
were shot by three natives, the former
being seriously wounded and the latter
slightly. Lieutenant Colonel Cotton
was attacked by a native with a sword
while riding in n carriage to the front.
He killed his sailant with his re-
vOlver.
A sharpshooter within the American
lines shot and killed a sergeant while
he was sitting at a window of the
second reserve hospital. Colonel Will
lam c. Smith died of apoplexy. Many
of the insurgents were driven into the
Pasig river and drowned. Several
hundred We're taken prisoners.

REPATRIATION OF sPANIABDs.
Spanish Government Proposes to
Treat With the Filipinos.

Madrid Feb. st is announced that
arrangements for the repatriation of
the Spanish troops in the Philippine
islands are being made at New York
and San Francisco. The American
government. it is added, bears the eX-
pense of repatriation. which is 10 be
carried out by the Spanish Trans-At-
lantic Steamship company. The Span
ism government, through the French
embassy at Washington, mas sent 4
communication to the government of
the United States. saying that in view
of the non-success Of the Americans TO
obtain the release Of the Spanish pris-
Oners, the Spanish government itself
has taken steps to obtain their release.
But as this Will necessitate a certain
expense, the government of Spain re-
calls the fact that the stipulatiOnS Of
the treaty of Paris oblige the Ameri-
cans to obtain the liberation of the
Spaniards
General Rios, commanding the Span
ism troops in the Philippines, cables
that Aguinaldo offers TO release the
Spanish prisoners on the payment OF
$500, Geo. and the handing over to him
of the cannon, rifles and 100000 car
tridges belonging TO the Spaniards.
The government here replied that it
could not accept this transaction, as it
would be equivalent to indirect prOtec-
ton of the insurgents. which would be
a breach of the Spanish engagements
with the United States. Aguinaldo, it
appears, still retains the civil prison
ers and the monks.

SCENE OF THE FIGHTING.
Filipinos at Washington Describe the
Location of Outposts.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The members of
the Filipino junta who are in the city
were shown the Associated Press re-
port from Manila tonight and readily
gave a description of the location of
the places where the fighting occurred.
DR.. Juan Luna, a member of the junta,
said that the points named in the
dispatch lie TO the north and east of
Manila and that the insurgent army
at that place is small. A much larger
force, he says is encamped TO the south
of the city. in the direction of Malate.
The American OutpOsts are the. ones
formerly occupied by the Spaniards on
the outskirts Of the city, 'thile those
held by the insurgents are about Il
mile away to the north and east. The
distance between ColCacan and Pace.
the extreme points OF the fighting. is
six miles. Coloacan is the most
nOrtherly of the insurgent outposts.
This is the town spoken of in the
Manila dispatch as having been bonn
barded by the Charleston and Con-
cord. DR.. Luna claimed that it was
impossible for the American shells to
have done any damage there, as the
place is protected from the bay by
range of hills. Furthermore; the
American ships, he said, could not
take up a position close TO the shore,

New York. Feb 5.-Major General Mer-

is absolutely no cause for apprehension
by the Americans, as he considers the
American troops perfectly able TO cope
with the enemy.

Chicago. Feb. "a special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
Instructions will be sent to Major Gen

ENTIRE FORCE ENGAGED.
Fighting Line Covered Distance of
Fourteen Miles.

Fourteen Miles.
Washington, Feb. 5.-Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin expressed the opinion that
practically all of the troops now in the
Philippines were engaged in Saturdays
conflict He believed the men were
stretched out in a line that extended
probably fourteen miles to the north
east and south of the city. Confronting
them were the insurgents posts and
strongholds. Caloocan is about five
miles north of Manila and a short dis
lance inland, apparently something
more than a mile. MalabOn is about
two miles to the northwest of Caloocan,
and on the water front. 1t was from
this place that the cruiser Charleston
and the gunboat Concord opened fire
on the Filipinos at Caloocan. Pace. one
of the villages, where the California
and Washington regiments made a
splendid showing, is a suburb a mile
from Manila. From military maps it
appears to be a well-laid-out town,
with streets after the American plan,
and is to the southeast OF Manila, just
near the Pasig river. Malate. from
which the monitor Monadnock opened
fire, is about two miles south of the
capital, along the coast of the bay of
Manila.

members Of the diplomatic corps said
the outbreak made two things quite
clear. namely, that no foreign power
could or would intervene or exert anv
influence in the Philippines, and, second
that foreign governments would now
recognize in this overt act of the Fill
pinOs that the United States was JUS
titled in using strong represSiYe meas
ures. SO long as the FilipinOs remained
in a passive attitude of resistance. it
was pointed out, there might be some
justification for foreign sympathy with
them. but if this advanced to an ag-
gressive attitude and the killing OF Am
erican soldiers. this official expressed
the belief that foreign governments
would take the view always taken IN

idea that the F'i1ipinos could hope for

Kansas City Hay Market

As reported by J. T. woolsey Co., wholesale
dealers in hay, grain,etc., Kansas City, Mo.
The receipts IF hay and straw for
the week ending October II consist of
234 cars prairie. 81 timothy, 9 clover
mixed, 3 clover, 5 straw and 2 alfalfa,
making a total of 305 cars against 1856
a week ago.
The receipts have oeen little light
er than last week and there is fair
demand for the best grades of Prairie
hay, but the arrivals of the lower
grades exceed the demand and the
market is little slow.
There is a good demand for all
grades of timothy: the receivers are
using nearly all arrivals on orders and
few sales are being made on the open
market. The arrivals Of clover-mixed
and clover are not equal to the de-
mand aud the market is strong.
Although the receipts of straw are
not heavy, the market is weak. There
is a good demand for alfalfa.
