Manila, Aug. 9-12:25 p. m.-General
MacArthur's force, consisting OF 1000
men, advanced five miles beyond San
Fernando today and encountered and
defeated q Filipino force of 5000 men.
The enemy retreated, leaving many
dead and wounded. The American loss
was slight.
The Americans covered five miles in
the first five hours and at o'clock had
advanced six miles along the railway,
stretching on each side for two miles,
resting at night three miles from An
geles. which will be made the northern
base of operations instead of San Fer
nando, where garrison Of 600 was left.
The casualties We're between thirty and
forty. The F'ilipinos were surprised, ex-
pecting the American forces to move
against Tico. They followed the usual
tactics Of holding the trenches until
they became too warm and then re-
treating In disorder. They are now
falling back westward toward Poric.
The Twelfth and Seventeenth regi-
ments had the sharpest engagements.
The country our troops passed over is
covered with rice fields and bamboo
thickets, the hardest possible ground
for marching. The mud in some places
was knee deep.
Angeles. one Of the richest towns
north OF Manila, is considered better
base of operations than San Fernando.
The forces at San Fernando consisted OF
the 1owans, Seventeenth. Ninth and
Twelfth regulars. Pell's new Thirty
sixth. a battalion of the Sixteenth, troop
Il. Fourth cavalry. and fifteen guns.
The movement had been planned some
time, but was delayed by rains. Finally
two days sunshine dried the rice fields
sufficiently to permit the attempt.
The American position had long been
unpleasant. The rebels almost sur
rounded the town and fired nearly
nightly into 1t, the Americans not re-
plying except on extreme provocation.
1t was necessary to keep five or six
hundred men on outpost duty constant

state Department Not Concerned
About Agulnaldo's Appeal for
Recognition.
Washington, Aug. 9.-State deart-
ment officials are not at all concerned
about the formal appeal of Aguinaldo
to the European nations for recognition.
but look upon the rebel leaders efforts
simply as a renewal of those which
have been made In the past. The de-
partment is entirely without informa-
ton of the address of Agunaldo, which
was printed in yesterdays press dis
lpatches, and there is no apprehension in
lofiicial circles that any foreign nation
will pay the slightest heed to the ap-'
peal.
| There has been no Indication that auy
foreign power has entertained even the
lreinotest idea of giving recognition to
| Aguinaldo and his associates. On the
contrary, the most friendly feeling has
been exhibited by all foreign powers to-
wards this government throughout the
Philippine insurrection. and the critic
isms which have been indulged In by
the foreign press do not represent the
views of officials of the powers.
AT no time has the press of Europe
ippines are so far removed, and the
trade of those now being conducted
there does not materially affect the
commerce of Europe.
1t is believed the war in the Philip
pines could be carried on indefinitely
without Interference from any quarter,
as many of the European nations sym
pathize with the United States, because
aIc civ In fn
those of this country Aside from this
there is no disposition to commit any
lunfriendly act which would disturb the
peaceful relations between the United
States and other first-class nations.
While in the past the recognition OF
belligerency or independence has been
held a cause for war. and during the
American revolution Great Britain
made war against France for recognize
ing the Independence of the United
States, the position of nation on this
question has undergone a complete
change
The recognition of belligerency or In
dependence is not now casus belli.
During the Cuban insurrection the In
ternational usages on this point We're
fully developed. This question was ex-
haustlvely debated in both the senate
and house, and the subject was one of
extended consideration in messages of
President Mckinley.
When this government was on the
verge of recognizing the belligerency of
the Cubans. Spain steadfastly main
tained If the United States did SO it
would be an unfriendly act, and tanta-
mount to declaration of war. This
contention was not admitted by this
government. and the American senti-
ment favored considerable liberty of ac-
tion among foreign powers in recognize
ing that an isurrection constituted a
state of war.
1t is extremely unlikely that any for
eign power will invoke these precedents,
for while the recognition of state of
war In the Philippines would not be a
casus belli, it would certainly be an un-
friendly act.
