AMERICANS WIN
VICTORY At MANILA.
THE FILIrINos BEGIN A VIGOROUS AND
GENERAL ATTACK AFTER
NIGHT CONFLICT AT AN
OUTPOS T.
Driven oil With Heavy Loss.
HOT FIGHTING MANY HOURS.

Mania, the lDplnO lOTCtS dllel ''i"''y
hours of continuous fighting have
been driven from the villages of Santa
Anna, Faco and Santa Mesa.
They have been compelled to re-
treat to a position a considerable dis
lance farther out in the suburbs than
the one they held before attacking
the city.
Although it has been impossible
thus far to estimate accurately the
number of Americans who fell, it is
believed that about twenty were
killed and 1875 wounded,
The losses of the FilipinOs are
heavy, the American troops having
gone into the engagement with great
enthusiasm and determination. They
made the streets of the city ring with
their cheers when they were notified
Of the attack and were ordered to
advance.
Several of the vessels in Admiral
Dewey's squadron took part in the
fight, firing on the natives in Malate
and Calvocan and driving them In
land from both those places.
FIGHTING sTARTEd AT OUTPOST.
The battle was brought about by
the action of three native scouts,
who advanced close to the American
lines, near Santa Mesa, and made a
faint to 90 through. They retreated
upon being challenged, but returned
again in a short time. Once more
they rctreated.
When they returned n third time
and attempted to make their way
past the outposts Of the Nebraska
troops a corporal challenged them
and then fired. One OF the natives
was killed and another was wounded.
This was followed at 0 o'clock
Saturday by general attack on the
American outposts. The Filipinos
advanced all along the line from
Calvocan to Santa Mesa.
The American troops lost no time
in replying to the attack. Members
OF the North Dakota, Nebraska and
Montana Regiments returned the
Flipinos fire with great vigor and
succeeded in holding the natives in
check until the main body of the
American troops arrived on the scene.
AMERICANS ADVANCE AT DAYLIGHT.
There was slight lull in the fight
ing after the first reply of the Amerl-
can troops, but the firing was con
tinued five hours with much regular
ity. During the early hours Of the
morning it became brisker, and at
daylight the American troops made
firm advance.
In the daylight it was found that
the Filipinos had massed themselves
about Santa Mesa and Calvocan, and
also had a considerable f'rce about
Gagalangin. General OTIS troops
ultimately drove them out of these
villages. When the fighting lulled
again the Americans were in posses
sion ofSauta Anna, in which village
the natives had rendezvoused for
weeks prior to the battle.
MONITOR HURLs HUGE SHELLS.
While the American troops were
doing such effective work in repelling
the attack, news of the fight was re-
ceived on board the vessels of the
American squadron. The monitor
Monadnock, which was lying off
Malate, opened fire on the FlIipinos
with her lO-inch guns, joining the
gunboat Concoard and the cruiser
Charleston, lying off Malabon, in the
firing.
The fire is slackening as l send this
dispatch, Sunday night.

THE ADMINISTRATION finds itself
confronted by war. Many doubted
the wisdom OF the government IN at
tempting to obtain the Philippine
Islands. Evidently there was no such
intention at first, and had the govern.
ment after having destroyed tie
Spanish fleet at Manila, determined
TO retire and seek no territory IN tie
Eastern hemisphere, we would have
escaped the dangers that now threat
en- us. Agulnaldo is evidently a'piIlng
for power. 1t is probable that he
fully believed that the Americans en-
" desired TO use him and the Fill
pino forces in order to fight Spain,
and they having, with the aid OF the
Americans, gotten rid of the Span
iards, it was perfectly natural for him
10 believe that the Philippines were
TO be an independent nation. What
the intention of the United States is
IN reference to their country, they do
not know. They were fighting for
independence. They have escaped
Spain, but they have fallen into the
hands OF a stronger power.
However much they may be OPP
posed to becoming a colony OF the
United States, they made serious
blunder in making an attack upon
our forces. While they may kill a
number of our soldiers, their subju-
CATION is only a question of time.
LISA war in which both parties will
he worsted. When we, after a great
sacrifice of men and means shall have
subiugated them, there will be no
gain.
We must then grant them their IN
dcpcndencs, if they desire it, or pla .
our own government in a class with
Sp,in. in endeavoring to hold colonies
AGAINST the consent Of the people.
We are certainly getting oot OF our
class. We pretend to go TO was Tor
the sake of humanity, we have been
seduced by the prospect of gain, and
have placed our government IN the
position that Spain occupied before
we interfered. A blunder has been
committed. 1t will require states
mseship as well great skill upon the
mart of the administration TO escape.
The future will determine, we can
only hope for the best.

1RoU BILE Ex pECTED.

Cleveland. Ohio. June ll.-Both the
officers of the big consolidated street rail-
way and the strikers are waiting expec-
family for seven O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing for then there is likely to be serious
trouble. True TO its promise of last night
the company made no attempt to move
cars today.
A number of motormen imported from
other cities were taken To the Lake View
terminus today and all that were not
captured by the strikers were housed thare
for the night. If the strikers do not re-
turn to work In the morning their places
will be filled as far as possible by new
men, and an attempt made to move the
cars. This the strikers will not permit,
or at least they say they will not. and
while they have been very quiet today,
there is apparently grim determination
on their part to thwart the efforts of the
company to move the cars. A large force
of deputy sheriffs has been sworn in to
assist in preserving order should the
emergency arise.

COLUMBIA AFLOAT.
Spectacular Launching of the New Cup

her Columbia.
The launching OF the latest protector of
Uncle Sans sailing laurels was probably
one of the most spectacular that has ever
occurred for the light of day had almost
faded when she started down the ways
and three powerful calcium lights played
upon her white stern and shining golden
under body with theatrical effect. As she
fairly cleared the shed large silk Amer
lean yacht ensign was broken out ovsr
her stern, the colors of her owners ap-
peared on a small jury mast stepped in
place of the regular mast, and the New
York Yacht club pennant flew in the
waist of the boat. With the lights play
Ing on the flags and twenty or more of
the crew racing about the deck, the scene
was Tiled with animation and color.
Ranged on botn sides OF the dock were
five thousand spectators, while off the
end were clustered fifty or more yachts of
oil kinds, SO that there was plenty of
| noise-oheers, whistles and guDs--to help
ont the brilliant eject OF the lights
Mrs. Iselin performed her part gracefully,
surrounded by half a hundred society
leaders of New York. Providence and
Boston, and many yachting friends Of her
husband. The launching was "a great
success from beginning to end, being
attended only by an unfortunate accident
among the spectators. The idea of a

another few weeks will be ready TO battle
