NO Further HostIlities.
Manila, Monday, Feb c. 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
tilities Sunday night and no attempt
was made to, recover the. lost ground. It
is possible, however, that they are fol-
lowing the tactics they employed
against the Spaniards and will merely
lie off q few, days to reeuperate their
forces before returning to the attack.
It is impossible to ascertain as yet how
the news has been received at Malolos,
the. seat of the insurgent government,
but the. Filipinos in Manila express the
opinion that the movement for indie
pendence has received it's death blow
and that annexation will soon be well
coined generally. s sss ~ 2tsS7
VIII Force the, Fighting.
Washington, Feb. 6.--The warfare
in the. Philippines will be forced to
speedy end. The president and his
cabinet on Sunday decided that mas
much as the trouble was the choosing
OF the natives, the American policy
must be shaped to meet the emergency.
The surrender of the insurgents will be
| demanded, and Gen. Otis and Admiral
Dewey were. Sunday ordered to proceed
against the forces of Aguinaldo with
view of demonstrating to the in
surgents the hopelessness of their
cause. The president is determined
| that the majesty of the United States
Eshall, be respected in the, Philippines,
EWhethe the islands are annexed. to this
country or not, and it ,cansbe stated on
authority that there will be no more
temporizing with the ,Filipinos, what
ever may be the action on the treaty.
stroy OF the Fighting. :.
! Manila, Feb. 5.-The long-expected
rupture between the Americans and
the Filipinos has come at last. The
former are now engaged in solving the
Philippine problem with the utmost
expedition possible. The clash came
at $40 Saturday evening. when three.
daring Filipinos darted past the Ne
braska regiment pickets at Santa Mesa,
but retired when challenged. They re-
peated the experiment without draw
ing the sentries' fire. But the third
time Corp. Greedy challenged the Fill
ipinos and then fred, killing one of
them and wounding another.
Almost Immediately afterward the
Filipinos' line, from Calvocan to Santa
Mesa, commenced fusilade which was
Intellectual. The Nebraska, Montana
and North Dakota outposts replied Wig
orously, and held their ground until re-
endorsements arrived. The Filipinos
in the meantime concentrated at three
points, Caloocan, Gagalangin and Santa
Mesa.
Enemy Opens Hot Fire.
At about one o'clock the Filipinos
opened a hot fire from all three places
simultaneously. This was supple
mented by the fire of two siege guns at
Balik-Balik, and by advancing their
skirmishers at Pace and Pandacan.
The Americans responded with ter
rife fire, but owing to the darkness
they were unable to determine its ef-
feet. The Utah light artillery finally
succeeded in silencing the native bat
terry. The Third artillery also did
good work on the extreme left. The en-
