cation of the peace treaty with Spain

under consideration were Spanish gov
eminent. the reasons for agreeing to
pay Spain for the improvements made
in the Philippines and reasons for eX-
tending to Spain the benefit of an
open-door policy in her former posses
sions There were various Interrupt

confined themselves to questions. In

of our war with Spain ends in our
fighting and defeating those whom
Spanish tyranny drove into insurrec-

such that, if this alternative is pre-

other means of adjusting difficulties

The aim of the Office of Road Inquiry
is to cooperate with people of the sew
eral states in making the best possible
use of material within their reach in
road making, says the secretary of
agriculture. Large areas in many of
the states have no gravel, rock, or
other hard material with which to
make roads. / have had experiments
made during the present year with
steel as extensively as our means would
permit An experiment of this kind
is being conducted at Cleveland, Ohio.
A section of 500 feet of steel track has
been laid on street in the suburbs
where the traffic is heavy, and its value
is already generally acknowledged. A
sample steel road $40 feet long has
been laid upon the grounds of the ex-
position at Omaha. It is proposed to
make traction tests upon this track
to show how much less power is re-
Quired to move a load over such road.
The steel road is not excessively costly
by comparison with other roads and
will last much longer with less repair,
and is probably the most economic
road for localities where material is
not obtainable for matchmaking.

London, Feb. 6.-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 north
east of the city When ordered to halt
they refused and the sentry fired. An
insurgent signal gun was then fired
from a block house and an attack was
Immediately begun on the Nebraska
regiment which was encamped.
The Filipino loss is reported to have
been heavy. The wounded on thc
American side are now estimated at
200. Few Americans were killed.
THE splendid police system prevent
ed a general outbreak in the city,
though several soldiers were attacked
by natives in the streets. Lieutenant
Charles Hogan and Sergeant Wal! were
shot by three natives, the former be-
ing seriously wounded and the latter
slightly. Lieutenant Colonel Cotton
was attacked by a native with a sword
while riding in a carriage to the front.
He killed his aSSaiant with his reVol~
Yer. A sharp shooter within the Ameri-
can lines shot and killed q sergeant
while he was sitting at a window of
the second reserve hospital. Colonel
William c. Smith died of aporlcXy.
Many Of the insurgents were driven
into the Pasig river and drowned. Sew
eral hundreds were taken prisoners"
In a subsequent telegram the fol-
lowing statements are made:
Last nights Saturday and today 5
Sunday engagements have proved a
Veritabl2 slaughter for the Filipnos
their killed being reported as amount
ing to thousands. The American forces
could scarcely have been better dis
posed. 1t is now known that the at
tack was fully respe ued and that ev-
cry preparation had been made to meet
the contingency.
"AguinaldO's private secretary has
been arrested as a Spy in Manila. Per
feet quiet now reigns in that city. More
than d hundred wounded FilipinOs
taken from the trenches, are being
cared for in the American hospitals
