MANY NEW MAUSERS TAKEN
AGUINALDO's ARTILLERY SERVED BY
SPANISH SOLDIERS.
Another List of Killed and wounded
and Naval Commanders.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.--There was little
abatement of interest in the stirring events
at Manila exhibited to-day at the War De-
partment. The first feeling OF anxiety for
the safety of the American forces had given
way entirely, save in the case of the per-
sonal friends and acquaintance of soldiers
supposed to be injured. and there was dis
played instead the greatest interest in the
extent of the loss inflicted on the insurgents
by the American soldiers and sailors. Off
GERS at the War DEPARTMENT, who know
General Otis well, declared when the an
nouncement came of the killing capture
and wounding of four thousand men, that
he undoubtedly had underestimated the
damage inflicted by him, as was his wont,
instead Of magnifying it in the Spanish
fashion. The news of the day from abroad
was found in the casualty list sent by Otis
and in the concise and excellent description
by him Of the results OF the engagement
OF Saturday night anG sunday Tie officials
say that nothing more car be expected from
him on this point until he has had an op-
pOrtunity to forward a mail report giving
in detail all the history of the fighting.
The first dispatch from General Otis to-day,
which was dated Manila, Feb. z, follows:
''The insurgent army concentrated around
Manila from LuZcn province numbers over
1900 and possesses several quick-firing and
Krupp field guns. A good portion of the
enemy is armed with MauSers of the latest
pattern. Two Krupp guns and great many
rifles were captured. The insurgents fired
great quantity of ammunition Quite num-
Der of Spanish soldiers served with the in
surgents and manned the artillery. The in
surgents constructed strong intrenchments
near our lines, mostly in bamboo thicketS.
These our men captured killing or captur-
ing many Of the enemy. Our casualties prob
casualties of insurgents were very heavy.
Have buried some five hundred of their
dead dead and hold five hundred prisoners.
Their loss killed, wounded and prisoners
probably four thousand; we took the water
works pumping station yesterday, six miles
out after a considerable skirmish with the
enemy, which made no stand. The pumps
damaged but will be working i'm a
week. Have number of cOndensers set up in
city, which furnish good water. The troops
are in excellent spirits Quiet prevails"
