NO MORE FOR THEM.

Manila, Monday, Feb. 6, a. m.-The
Filipinos have apparently reached the
conclusion that the Americans mean
business now that the barriers are re-
moved, as there were no further hos
tllities last night and no attempt was
made TO recover the lost ground. 1t is
possible, however, that they are fol-
lowing the tactics they employed
against the Spanards. and will mere
~ lie on few days to recuperate their
forces before returning to the attack
II is impossible to ascertain yet how
the news has been received at Malolos
the seat Of the insurgent government
but the Filipinos in Manila exp ress the
opinion that the movement for indie
pendence has received it's death blow
and that annexation will soon be well
coined generally.

with this outbreak and that they may
be aroused to point of action.
1t was said at the state department
plainly that Agoncillo was either a trail
tor or spy. If the Philippines are re-
garded as American terrlIory, then he
is the representative and active agent
Of an insurrection against the United
States, and as such is a traitor.
If the Philippines are still in NOM
inal Spanish possession, then, as a
state of war still technically exists, he
could be suggested only as a spy.
AT the very least his presence is
highly obnoxious, and there is said to
be ample authority for his expulsion
by presidential order.
The diplomats took a lively interest
in the news, realizing that the govern
ment of the United States will call
upon them very early to see to it that
no aid of any sort is rendered to the
Filipinos, and that no filibustering ex-
petitions shall leave their soil with
munitions Of war or supplies for the
insurgents.
Special precautions will be asked to
be taken at Singapore and Hong Kong,
the principal ports of the eastern trade,
to prevent the dispatch of vessels car
rying secret cargoes IN aid of the in
surgents. 1t is believed that the in
terests of the other nations in a peace
full state of thing in the east, will
cause them to exercise special vigilance
in this respect, matter CT much i'm
portance, in view Of the great number
and extent of the Filipino islands.
without the receipt If arms or am
munition from the outside, the insur-
gents will be badly handicapped.
The United States, by refusing to
recognize Agoncillo in any authority,
is in a strong position automatically.
and no doubt is expressed as to all
European nations maintaining a most
correct attitude and refusing in any
manner to acknowledge that Aguinal-
do and his followers have any status
warranting their recognition in any
manner.

GEN. RIOS DISPATCH.

was caused here by the receipt this
evening of the following official dis
patch from Gen. Rios, the Spanish COM
mander in the Philippines: THE in

captured almost the whole of the exte-
rior American line. The Americans Of

but his status, it can be stated. has
already been the subject Of careful
study.
The officials have been 10th to dis
turb him, first, because they did not
care to n1artyrize him unnecessarily.
and secondly, because they did not care
to expose themselves to the criticism
that they were interfering improperly
with the supply of information and ar
guments respecting i, the Philippine
question while the treaty was pending

SLAUGHTER WAS AWFUL,
London Post Tells Vivid Story of Manila
Battle.

London, Feb. 6.-The Morning Post
publishes the following account of fight
ing at Manila; The immediate cause Of
the attack was an advance by two
Filipinos to the Nebraska outposts on
the northeast of the city. When ordered
TO halt, they refused; AM the sentry
nred. An insurgent signal gun was then
nred from BlockhouSe seven, and an at
tack was Immediately begun on the.
Nebraska regiment which was en-
camped. The fighting soon spread on
ooth sides, until firing was in progress
on all the outposts around the city.
Inc American troops responded vigor-
ously, the insurgent fire being heavy
and the attack evidently hurriedlv
planned. Firing continued Throughout
the night with an occasional cessation
OF from half an hour to an hour at a
time. :"
At daybreak the warships Charleston
and Callao began Smelling the north
SIDE or the city. Their fire was fol-
lowed later by that of the Monadnock
on the southern side, the insurgent DO
sltlons having been previously accur-
ately located.
The Filipino loss is reported to have
been heavy. The wounded on the
American side Is now estimated at 900
Few Americans were killed
The Americans began a vigorous adj
vance all along the line this morning
Sunday, and were soon pressing back
the insurgents in every direction main
tanning steadily their advanced posi-
lions and capturing the villages of san

Macati, Santa Meza and Lomla. The
splendid police system prevented a
general outbreak in the city, though
several soldiers were attacked by ma
tives in the streets.
Lieut.. Chas. Hogan and Sergeant
Wall were shot by three natives, the
former being seriously wounded and
the latter slightly.

LOCATION DESCRIBED.

The members of the Filipino junta
who are in the city, were shown the
Associated Press report from Manila to-
night and readily gave q description of
the location OF the places where the
lighting occurred. DR.. Juan Luna, a
member of the junta, said that the
points named in the dispatch lie to the
northeast Of Manila and that the insur-
gent army at that place is small; a
much larger force, he says, is encamped
to the south of the city in the direc-
zion of Malate.
The American outposts are the ones
formerly occupied by she Spaniards on
the outskirts of the city, while those
held by the insurgents are about a mile
away to the north and east. The dis
lance between Ccloacan 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 dispatches
having been bombarded by the Charles
ton and Concord.
DR.. Luna claimed that it was impos-
sible for American shells to have done
any damage there, as the place is pro-
tected from the bay by a range of hills
Furthermore. the American ships, he
said. could not take up position close
in that vicinity.
Balik-Balik, where the insurgents had
two field pieces, lies to the east of Col
oacan, and much nearer to the Ameri-
an lines, being close to Pandacan and
POGO.
These two small towns are a very
short distance from Tondo, the Ameri-
can outpost, and almost directly west
of Santa Meza. They are on a road
running eastward from Manila.
The positions which the Americans
held at the beginning of the fight, DR..
Luna claims, were formerly occupied
by the Filipinos. At the siege of Ma
Mia, he says, the natives drove the
Spaniards from three positions and took
possession of them. but finally gave
them up at the request of Gen. Otis
falling back about a mile, where they
established new defenses. Some of
these We're captured by the Americans

Two Fine Old Oak Trees.

Raleigh, N. c., has the largest pair
Of oak trees in the United States,
when symmetry Of trunk and top is ia
ken into consideration. They stand
800 yards north of the capitol in the
spacious grounds of the see house"
of the Episcopal diocese. There is
practically no difference In their d.

the ground level Is nine feet, and six
feet higher up is seven and one-half
feet. It is thirty feet from the ground
to the first limb. The branches radi-
ate In the most symmetrical manner
and cover a space Of 40 feet In diam

are red oaks and their age is estimated
