A NIGHT ATTACK.
Insurgents Active. But the Fight Ends In
the Usual Way.

Manila. July 2.-The insurgents
after waiting for some time ven
tured another attack during the
night. They crept close to the
line of the Seventeenth and began
an attack, but they seemed to have
little confidence. Their challenge
was accepted with alaerity by our
boys who soon had them flying in
every direction except toward
American lines. Their loss was
heavy. The American lost one
killed and three wounded.
Macarthur reports that the in
surgents are active on his front
and he expects to be attacked IN
force in the near future.
Macarthur is confident he can
handle them without the least
doubt. He would move against
them but for the difficulty in get
ting an army over the swoolen
streams. besides the insurgents
would scatter their forces. These
small bands will be followed un-
til broken up when it becomes
possible to move troops.
The rebels are constantly cutting
the wires in the hope of isolating
the Americans.

New York, July 2.-The Herald
prints the following dispatch from
Manila, taken from its Paris ed
ltion: A review of the assign
ment of the American troops show
4, 900 in hospitals. 4,S0O in the
southern islands, 10000 in Manila
and Cavite and 5000 in the north
under Macarthur and the stations
north of Manila and south of San
Fernando. This, it is claimed, is
an inadequate force. The dis
patch states, also, that the troops
in the north are badly worn out
campaigning. The latter state
ment is denied, as it is pointed out
that it has been some time since
the great campaign ended, and
further, nearly all the soldiers in
the north are new arrivals who
have taken the place of the volun-
teers now on their way home.
