cut telegraph line in order to stop com

The Filipino forces engaged number
ed only 1000, including 1000 Ygorotes
Acting ON instructions from Malolos
the Filipinos remained strictly on the
defensive and finally retired in good or.

or ammunition. Two old Krupps
mounted on the fortress of San Antonio
| were captured. The fighting was very
stubborn and lasted continuously from
Saturday to Tuesday.
General indignation has been occas-
ioned by the ttreachsry of the American
surprise. The Ffl1pinos believed that
the Yankee administration is only IA
vored by minority of Americans and
| abstain from taking the offensive in or
der to show their gratitude to the Amer

the Spanish rule. Hence, they will on

The Americans are now fixing the
limits of their sphere of occupation. 1t

Paranaque to Malabon, on the shore
and from Caloocan to Mainbunga and
Macate.
There is much apprehension among
the Americans. who are searching all
the houses, conffscating all weapons in
cluding table cutlery and summarily
shooting in the streets all possessors of
arms. These actions have resulted in
sanguinary street fights at San Palo,

hatred of the American soldiery. The
latter are imprisoning non-combatants
as prisoners of war and in revenge the
Filipinos kill Americans in the streets,

Inform the American senate and con-
gressy of this and tell them the Filipinos
are friends Of America, but will fight

"Agoncillo, the Filipino delegate, will
ask for the European Intervention in
the interests of peace. In the mean
time the Filipinos will fight.
"A schooner, laden with ammunition,
has been captured. but two others have
arrived safely and have discharged
their cargoes. Aguinaldo is on his way
here. He will capture the lost posi-

The government at Malolos is acting
as usual, and have passed vote of

Balestier Will Bring Suit Against His
Famous Brother-in-L Law

Brattleboro, VT, Feb. 11.-Beatte Bales
tier brother of Mrs. Rudyard Kipling,
left here for New York to-day with the
avowed purpose of bringing suit against
his famous brother-in-law, claiming dam
ages of $4,000 for alleged malicious prose-
cution and false arrest in 1896
About two years ago Balestier met
kipling on a highway near Bratteboro
and had an alteration. Kipling secured
the arrest of Balestier and claimed under
oath in court few days afterward that
his brother-in-law has threatened to take
his life. Young Balestier was bound over
to the grand jury and put under bonds
to keep the peace. The case was to have
been tried at the September term of that
year. Mr.. Kipling, however, sailed for
England soon and the case was dropped
Balestier claims that he has had no oppor-
tunity to tell his story and now seeks JUS
tice in bringing suit.
