LONDON, Feb. 6.-The Morning Post pub
fishes the following account of the fighting
at Manila: "The immediate cause of the at
tack was am advance by two Filipinos to
the Nebraska outpost on the northeast of
the city. When ordered to halt they refused
and the sentry fired. An insurgent signal
gun was then fired from BIockhouse and
an attack was Immediately begun on the
Nebraska regiment. The fighting soon
spread on both sides until firing was in
progress on all the outposts around the city.
The American troops responded vigorously.
the insurgent fire being heavy and the at
tack evidently hurriedly planned. Firing
continued throughout the night with an oc-
casionaI cessation of from half an hour to
an hour at time.
AT daybreak the war ships Charleston and
Callao began shelling the north side of the
city. Their fire was followed later by that
of the Monadnock on the southern side, the
insurgent positions having been previously
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 vigor-
Gus advance all along the line this morn
ing Sunday and were soon pressing back
the insurgents in every direction. maintain
ing steadilytheir advanced positions and cap
turing the villages of San Juan del Monte,
Santa Ana, San Pedro, Macat, Santa Mesa
and Lomin. The splendid police system pre-
vented a general outbreak in the city,
though several soldiers were attacked by ma
tives in the streets. Lieutenant Charles
Hogan and Sergeant Wall were shot by
three natives, the former being seriously
wounded, the latter slightly Lieutenant
Colonel Cotton was att ecked by a native
with sword while riding in a carriage to
the front He killed his assailant with his
revolver. A sharpshooter within the Amer
lean lines shot and killed a sergeant while
he was sitting at window of the second
reserve hospital. Colonel William c. Smith
died of apoplexy. Many of the insurgents
were driven into the Pasig river and
drowned. Several hundred were taken pris-
oners.
In subsequent telegram the following
statements are made: Last nights (Satur-
day. and to-days Sunday engagements
have proved a veritabIe slaughter for the
Filipinos, their killed being reported as
amounting to thousands. The American
forces could scarcely have been better us
posed. 1t is now known that the attack was
fully expected and that every preparation
had been made to meet the contingency.
Firing slaclzened at noon (Sunday), the
enemy being apparently demoralized. The
American troops, however. are fully
equipped to meet possible attack tonight.
''Aguinaldo's private secretary has been
arrested as a spy in Manila. Perfect quiet
now reigns in the city. More than hundred
wounded F'ilipinos, taken from the trenches,
are being cared for in the American hos
pitals."

The Spanish Account.

MADRID Feb. 5.-Intense excitement

of the following official dispatch from Gen.
Rios. the Spanish commander in the Phil

the tactics they employed against the Span
iards and viii merely lie off few days to
recuperate their forces before returning to
the attack. 1t is impossible to ascertain as
yet how the news has been received at
Malolos. the seat of the insurgent govern
ment, but the Filipinos in Manila express
the opinion that the movement for inde-
pendence has received it's death blow and
that annexation will soon be welcomed gen.
orally.

ness at some of the more exposed points on
the American lines, which might be easily
explained by the fact that the attack was
made at night. perhaps in places where the
insurgents could creep close up in the
shelter of the tropical jungle that grows
nearly into the town of Manila. Every con-
fidence. however. is felt that General Otis is
master of the situation. This confidence is
based not only on this mornings cablegram
but from repeated assurances to that effect
conveyed by General Otis to Washington

Mr.. PolliIZ said that he would like to
see a number of the plantations here

the strictly corporation business could
be handled as well and as satlsfactor-
lily in every way up there as in Homo

for them. Paauhau IL selling In San

The unbounded confidence Of Mr.
POLITE in the sugar securities augurs
well for the introduction here rapidly
OF an enormous amount OF foreign cap
| ital. For the past three years he has
been dabbling in the Island corporation
shares and when he put through the
| II. C. deal and invested in Onomca and
Paauhau and yesterday IN Honokaa
he becomes the leading broker Of tn,
United States in Island interests. Mr.
POLITE has been in business In Sal
Francisco as a broker for twenty-iiv,
years. He organized the stock anC
bond exchange there and did the SANE
service for the Honolulu brokers. Mr.
POLITE believes there should be abou
five more seats In the Exchange herr
and that the organization should hav'
a building. He believes lot OF keel
operators and new business men ar
coming to the Islands. II Is his opln
ION that many more plantations will b
established that trade must OF neces
sity greatly expand. and that tn
whole OF the Islands will have remark
able prosperity indefinitely.
When 1t became known that Nj
POLITE was buying a block of 100
shares Of Honokaa the street wa
greatly excited. The secret was no

tustralia's Plant.

The enterprise inaugurated recently
of bringing beef from San Francisco
for local consumption has proved TO be
a success. The large new refrigerating
plant put in the steamer Australia had
a large consignment OF beef on the last
trip down.
The supply OF beef from the Islands
Is not near enough TO satisfy the de-
mand. While the consumption Of beef
is rapidly growing larger. there is no
increase in the production. This makes
the importation of refrigerated meats
a necessity.
The beef brought down on the Aus
tralia was cho.ce. There were about
seventy carcasses in all, averaging
about 500 pounds to the carcass. This
makes a total importation OF about
$4,000 pounds. This Is beef alone. In
addition to this, the local meat com
pany Is constantly importing mutton
from Australia. This fact shows how
great a difference there Is between the
local supply and demand.
There is at present beef famine in
California on account OF drOughts. The
price wholesale has gone up two cents
This has increased the price in this
city. There Is difference Of about
three cents between Island beef and
that brought down in the refrigerator
when sold at retail. The refrigerated
beef has taken well with the people
