THEY FOUGHT NAKED.
Hundreds of Filipinos Armed Only
With Bows and Arrows

Manila, Feb. 7.-An intensely exciting
incident occurred during the engage
ment on Sunday. The Washingtons and
Idahos and companies K and NJ of the
CalifOrnianS made charges across the
rice fields between Paco and Santana
in the face of terrific fusillade. The
ground today over which they passed
is covered with deal and wounded ma
tives. The former are being buried in
groups of five or six about where they
lay, and the latter are being brought
to the hospitals. 1t was at this stage
of the fighting at Calocan that the
Filipinos suffered their heaviest losses.
The Fourteenth regulars were in a
particularly tight place near Singalon
and Colonel DuBOice was compelled to
rush past them with the reserve in or
der to prevent the regulars from being
cut off. In the last line u men were
killed before the rebels retired
Both sides cheered frequently during
the engagement. The American 'hur-
rahs'' were almost invariably met by
derisive ''Vivas." Among the natives,
the Ygorotes were especially noticeable
for their bravery, about 700 of these
naked savages facing artillery fire with
their bows and arrows.
NIGHT BEFORE WATERLOO.
The scene at Manila when the alarm
was given on Saturday night was wild
ly exciting. The American soldiers in
the theaters and at circus were called
out, the performances were stopped,
FilipinoS scurried everywhere and the
rattle of musketry and the booming of
cannon outside the city were plainly
heard.
The residents of the outskirts of Ma
nila f1ocked into the walled city with
their arms full of articles. All the car
riages disappeared as if by magic, the
street cars were stopped, the telegraph
lines were cut and the soldiers hurried
ly but silently marched out of the city
into the stations assigned to them. The
stores were closed almost instantly
foreign flags were to be seen f1yin g
from many windows and a number of
white rags were hung out from Fill
pino hutS and houses.

1T MEANS WAR.
Senator Haie's View of the Ratifca-
tion of the Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Senator Hale to-
day gave to the Associated Press his
impressions concerning the effect of the
battle of Manila on the treaty He said:
81 am not surprised at the occurrence.
If the treaty had been made as it ought
to have been made, holding the Philip
pines on the same basis as Cuba, no
trouble would have arisen, or if the
managers of the treaty had consented
to an amendment on this line, there
would have been no trouble of this kind.
Or, still further, if they had agreed to
the passage of a joint resolution declar-
ing that congress did not expect per-
manent occupation. trouble would have
been avoided. But the truth is that
underneath the expansion newspapers
and back of the movements of the lead
erS of the expansion cause lies the de-
termination to be content with nothing
but permanent annexation. This means
a protracted war Of subjugation against
the people of the Philippine islands.
The ratification of the treaty means no
peace but immediate war. We must
send more troops and more ships to
Manila and must undertake the inn
mense job of conquering the people who
are trying to establish a government of
their own"

JUDGE HORTON THERE.
No False Pride About Kansas Ex-Chief
Justice Who Sat in the Gallery.

The peanut gallery at Crawford's
last night held an array of talent that
was never before seen on the first floor
from the roof
In all about forty well known society
young men were there to say nothing
of a score of society matrons and young
ladies, but the center of attraction was
Judge Albert H. Horton. He sat right
in the center of the gallery, oblivious to
the stir he created among the regular
top floor critics, when, with hat in hand
and his OVercoat on his arm, he walked
down the center aisle and seated him
self. A ripple of applause started but
the judge took no notice of it.
pop corn and pea nuts" shouted
the caterer to the top notchers.
Here, boy" said the judge, and he
invested in a sack of popcorn.
The man, who was once chief justice
of Kansas, was as dignified on the
hare seat in the gallery as he was on
the bench. He ate popcorn and ap-
plauded like a veteran gallery god.''
He enjoyed the performance as well as
those sitting in the lower boxes. The
reason the judge took a seat in the
gallery was because no other seats
could be had.
The younger society men, who saw
the opera for so cents in the gallery,
picked out their best girls on the first
floor, who were seeing the opera at a
body else's expense at that and laugh
ed in their sleeves. But they admitted
that when they handed their tickets
to the man at the door it was very rude
of him to cry out at the top of his voice.
Ito the gallery at your left.''

WHOSE MEAT WAS 1T?
A Big Lot of Spoiled Beef Discovered
in Army Supplies at Havana.

Havana, Feb. 1.-THE board of meat
survey, Of which Captain William L.
Pitcher, of the Eighth infantry is pres
ident, found, as the result of an in
quiry this afternoon that the contents
of 10,848 cans are unfit for human food
and have recommended that the inspec-
tor, Colonel Reed, condemn the meat.
Colonel Reed has confirmed the boards
finding. Other lots will be examined
tomorrow.
Among the rations drawn for distri-
button to the destitute at La Punta
relief station are several hundred cans
Of spoiled meat though among them
there was no can of Libbey, Mcneil and
Libbey's as was enormously rumored
at first. Inquiry with respect to them
seems to show that since the meat was
bought by the government most of 1t
has been stored in damp warehouses or
carried in the holds of vessels. The
cans have rusted, the air was thus ad
mitted and consequently the contents
soon decomposed. The meat has proba-
bly, been packed for a long time. On
the other hand a quantity of bacon
canned in 1891 was found to be fresh.
At several other relief stations taint-
ed salmon and spoiled tomatoes were
discovered by the board of meat sur
vey and it appears that from one to
two per cent of the meat issued in Ha-
vana is bad.
The Seventh corps is now eating hoof
beef bought in the local market but

BATTERED BY A STORM
The Stuttgart Arrives in a Di-
Hfl
Iapidated Condition.

New York, Feb. THE steamer
Stuttgart from Bremen, January 24,which
reached port today with 65 cabin and
135 steerage passengers and a general
cargo reports that on January 80, she
encountered a severe storm, the wind
blowing from the northwest with hurri-
cane force. Enormous seas swept the
decks and broke over the upper works,
smashing all the boats on the starboard
side, carried away the forward star
board life boat, snapped the davits,
carried the after starboard life boat
across the decks on top of the skylight
flooded the rooms and compartments
on the starboard side, and smashed the
windows in the skylight.
The steamer was obliged to lie to
nearly twenty hours, making but forty
miles during the day. The weather
moderated for about forty eight hours
and again came on suddenly at a. m.
on February 2 and blew a hurricane
from the northwest, the seas breaking
over the vessel frequently. The steam
er's headway was checked and for II
hours she was hove to. One of the sec
ond cabin passengers was thrown
against a bulkhead and broke his leg.

THE GREATEST AMERICAN.
Senator Allen Pays a High Compli-
ment to VIM. J. Bryan.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Referring to the
statements which have been made as to
the action of some of the Democrats in
the senate in opposing the treaty be-
cause of their opposition to William
Jennings Bryan and the further state
ment that Mr.. Allen proposed to take
these Democrats to task. Mr.. Allen said
in the senate yesterday:
81 am not the keeper of the conscience
of Mr.. Bryan. 1 do not pretend to rep
resent him here or elsewhere and any
utterances to the contrary are entirely
unfounded. I am the personal friend of
Mr.. Bryan and I am also his political
friend. I may say of him that 1 regard
him as the superior in knowledge and
capacity of any living American states
man. History will rank him with Web
ster and Clay as one of the greatest
statesmen our country has produced. 1
regard him as brilliant a comet in
the political sky as were Webster and
Clay in their time. 1 know him to be
not only able and patriotic, but abso-
lutely sincere in all his words and ac-
tions. He is not a demagogue, as the
groundhngS and umblebugs of politics
would have the people believe"
Mr.. Allen then read some further
newspaper comment rejecting upon
him as to his action and by intimatiOns
impugning the purity of his motives.
Il have never occupied doubtful
ground said he, upon this treaty.
From the time it was completed in
Paris 1 have intended to give it my
vote"
Referring further to an intimation
that he had been given administration
or Republican influence in his senator
iaI fight in Nebraska, Mr.. Allen declared
there was nothing President Mckinley
could give him that would possibly af-
feet him his opinions.
Il would not he declared, "accept
Republican influence in behalf Of my
e-election to the senate. 1t has not
been offered, but if it were 7 would re-
pudiate it,
