Gomez Will Now be Taffied.

Gen. Gomez has thanked the Presi-
dent very cordially for sending Mr..
Porter as an envoy to see him in rela-
tion to. Cuban matters. He accepted
the So 100000 rendered him to pay of
the Cuban troope; left the payment OF i,
to Gen. Brooke and Mr.. Porter, ano
accepted the invitation of Gen. Brooke
to visit him at Havana. We hope the
yellow dog newspapers that haye been
abusing the old hero, will now have
a kind word for him. Brave old man
he fought for bis peoples liberties fol
twenty years, gave up home, faced
death in many battles, was wounded
and robbed, saw his people killed, theil
homes burned and their families starved
and nothing daunted he fought till he
saw his oppressors driven from the
island. Why should not such q man be
honored, among the heroes of the
world.

THE BATTLE DESCRIBED.
Made to Assassinate Severa
American Officers.

London, Feb. The Morning Post
publishes the following account of the
fighting at Manila:
The immediate cause of the attack
was an advance by two Filipinos to the
Nebraska outpost, on the Northeast of
the city. When ordered to halt, they
refused, and the sentry fred. An in
surgent signal gun then fred from
Blockhouse z, and an attack was imme-
diately begun on the Nebraska regiment.
The 6gting soon spread on both sides,
until firing was in progress on all the
outposts around the city.
The American troops responded vigor
ously, the insurgent fire being heavy and
the attack evidently hurriedly planned.
Firing continued throughout the night,
with an occasional cessation of from
half an hour to an hour at time. At
dayb the warships Charleston and
Callao began shelling the north side of
the city. Their fire was followed later
The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1899-02-07

by that of the Monadnock on the south
ern side, the insurgent position having
previously been accurately located.
The Filipino loss is reported to have
been heavy. The wounded on the
American side are now estimated at 200.
Few Americans were killed.
The Americans began a vigorous ad-
vance all along the line this morning
Sunday and we were soon pressing
back the insurgents in every direction,
maintaining steadily their advancing po-
sitions and capturing the villages of San
Juan, Delmonte, Santa Ana, San Padro,
Macati, Sants Mesa and Lomin.
The splendid police system prevented a
general outbreak in the city, though sew
eral soldiers were attacked by natives
in the streets. Lieutenant Charles Ho-
gan and Sergeant Wall were shot by
three natives, the former being seriously
wounded and the latter slightly, Lieu
tenant Colonel Cotton was attacked by q
native with a sword while riding in a
carriage to the front. He killed his
asssilant with his revolver. A sharp
shooter within the American lines shot
and killed Sergeant while he was sit
ting at window of the Second Reserve
hospital. Colonel William G. Smith
died of apoplexy. Many of the insur-
gents were driven into the Pasig river
and drowned, Several hundred were
taken prisoners.
In subsequent telegram the follow
ing statements are made:
Last nights Saturday and today's
! Sunday engagements have proved a
veritable slaughter for the Fllipinoe,
their killed being reported as amounting
to thousands. The American forces
could scarcely have been better disposed.
It is now known that the attack was
fully expected and that every prepara-
ton had been made to meet the con-
tingency.
| "Firing slackened at noon Sunday
the enemy being apparently demoral-
lied.
| LILO AmoIlCoA troope, AoWoVoT, aTo
fully equipped to meet possible attack
tonight.
"Aguinaldo's private secretary has
been arrested as spy in Manila. Per-
feet quiet now reigns in the city.
"More than hundred wounded Fill
pinos, taken from the trenches, are be-
ing cared for in the American hos
pitals."

DISPATCHES from Washington state
that the opposition to ratification Of the
Spanish treaty defeated all attemps to
get vote on amendments to the treaty
Saturday, and defeated motion to meet
Monday before the usual hour-12
o'clock. This would seem to indicate
that they have strength enough to
defeat the ratification Of the treaty
We hope this is not true. A declsra-.
ton ought to be made,in an amendment,
that it is not our purpose to hold per
manent possession of the islands, but the
treaty ought to be ratified.

Manila, Monday, February 6-9a. NJ.
The Filipinos have apparently reached
the conclusion that the Americans mean
business, now that the barriers are re-
moved, as there were no further hostil-
tiles last night and no attempt was made
to recover lost ground. 1t is possible,
however, that they are following the
tactics they employed against the Span
iards. and will merely lie off few days
to recuperate their forces before return
ing to the attack.

Manila, Feb. 5.-8:15 p. m.-The long
expected rupture between the Ameri-
cans and the Filipinos has come at last.
The former are now engaged in solving
the Philippine problem with the ut
most expedition possible.
The clash came at $40 yesterday eYen-
ing, when three daring Filipinos dsrted
past the Nebraska regiments pickets at
Santa Mesa, but retired when challenged.
They repeated the experiment without
drawing the sentries' fire, but the third
time Corporal Greedy challenged the Fill
pinos and then fred, killing one of them
and wounding another.
Almost Immediately afteiward the
Filipino line, from Calocan to Santa
Mesa, commenced a fusilade, which
was Intellectual. The Nebraska, Mon
tana and North Dakota outposts replied
vigorously, and held their ground until
reenforcements arrived.
The FIlipinos, in the meantime, con-
centrated at three points, Caloocan, Gag
slsngin and Santa Mesa.
A Midnight Battle.
About o'clock this morning the Fill
pinos opened hot fire from all three
places simultaneously. This was supple
mented by the fire of two siege guns at
Bslik- -Balik, and by advancing their
skirmishers at Pandacan.
The Americans responded with a ter
rible fire, but owing to the darkness,
they were unable to determine its effect.
The Utah Light Artillery finally sue.
ceeded in silencing the native battery.
The Third Artillery also did good
work, on the extreme left.
The engagement lasted over an hour.
The United States cruiser Charleston
and the gunboat Concord, stationed of
Malabona, opened fire from their secon-
dary batteries on the Filipinos' position
at Caloocan and kept it up vigorously.
At 2:45 there was another fusilade
along the entire line, and the United
States seagoing dc uble monitor Monad-
mock opened fire on the enemy from of
Malate.
With daylight the Americans advanc-
ed.
Heroes From the Far West.
The California and Washington regi.
ments made ssplendid charge, and drove
the Filipinos from the villages of Pace
and Santa Mesa. The Nebraska regi
ment also distinguished itself, capturing
several prisoners and one howitzer and
a very strong position at the reservoir
which is connected with the water
works.
The Kansas and Dakota regiments
com PEELED the enemy's right flank to re.
tire to Caloocan. There was intermittent
firing at various points all day long
The losses of the Filipinos can not be
estimated at present, but they are
known to be considerable. The Ameri.
can losses are estimated at twenty men
killed and 125 wounded.
The Ygorates, armed with bows and
arrows, made very determined stand
in the face of hot artillery fire and left
many men dead on the field.
Several attempts we're made in thit
city yesterday evening, to assassinate
American officers.

TIE Springfield Bar Association has
put forward Mr.. Chase Stewart as
candidate for Attorney General. Mr..
Stewart is native of Logan County, an
excellent gentleman, and a lawyer of
fine abilities. But why not stand by
our present fearless and able Attorney
General, who has been fighting the great
Corporations and Trusts of the State,
making them observe the laws and pay
their taxes the same as if they were
poor men. If the people don't stand by
those who stand by them, their interests
will never be properly taken care Of.

Dispatches were received at Wash
ington, Sunday, announcing that oul
army and the Filipinos had come in
conflict at Manila.
There can be but one outcome, in
such a confict-our army and navy
will triumph-but it is to be deplored
that the shedding of blood and the losi
Of life could not have been averted.
The army and navy had no choice in
the part they had to take. Their duty
was to defend themselves, obey orders
and maintain the authority of our
Government against all assaults, and
they have fought with the usual
gallantry of the American soldier and
sailor.
The accounts of the battle are given
in the following dispatches:
To the Secretary of the Navy, Wash
ington:
Insurgents here inaugurated general
engagement, yesterday night, which
was continued today. The American
army and navy is generally successful.
Insurgents have been driven back and
our line advanced. No casualties to
