Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-02-07

| en- into consideration the opinion of the
Filipinos attached to the junta here to
| the effect that the attack of Saturday
night was precipitated and not premed.
tated, that it was so precipitated by
the unexpected killing of a Filipino by
an American guard and that the result
was to bring on an action at the weak
est part of the Filipino lines.
| If this opinion is well founded, ii
would seem to be possible that the naval
view is correct and that the Filipinos
have now begun action at their strong
est point-namely, between Manila and
Malalos. the insurgent capital, about II
miles distant from Manila.

ond report. in addition to the eight men.
toned as killed in the first report, along
with the wounded. The second report
contains list of 80 dead. making. in adj
dition to the previous report, a total of

lows:
