Manila, Feb. 6.-7:15 p. m.-Owing to the area embraced in the scene Of Sundays engagement, semi-circle of fully F miles, details regarding the fighting have been extremely difficult to obtain. So far as can be gathered. the brush commenced at 8:45 on Sat urday evening, by the firing of Ne brasba sentry at Santa Mesa upon Filipinos who were deliberately cross ing the line after repeated warnings, with the evident purpose of drawing our fire.
 HOW THE BATTLE BEGAN.
 The first shot from the American sentry was evidently accepted as a pre- arranged signal. for it was followed al most immediately by terrific fusil- lade along the entire Filipino line on the north side of the Pasig river.
 The American outposts returned the fire with such vigor that the Filipino fire was checked until the arrival of endorsements.
 All the troops in the vicinity were hurried out and the Filipinos ceased firing for half an hour while their own endorsements came up.
 THE FIRING RESUMED.
 At ten o'clock the firing was re- stunned. the American firing line con sistng of the Third artillery, the Kansas and Montana regiments, the Minnesota regiment. the Pennsylva nians. the Nebraskans, the Utah bat tery, the Idahoes, the Washingtons, the Californians, the Fourth cavalry, North Dakotas, Sixth artillery, and Fourteenth infantry.
 The Filipinos concentrated their forces at three points, Caleooan, Santa Mesa and Galingalan, and maintained an intermittent fusillade for some hours.
 They brought artillery into action at Galinqalan at 10:3O, but only one gun annoyed the Americans to any ap- preciable extent.

Agree that the FiItpinos Have Made a
 Fatal Error.

London, Feb 6.-The afternoon newspapers here agree that the Fiji pinos have made a fatal error, and they are convinced the Americans viii not allow the trouble to influence their policy.
 The Pail Mall Gazette says: "Agui- naldo and his merry men have not displayed clear conception of the American character We take it for granted that there will be no look ing back now until America has plowed Philippine furrow right through, although the job is likely to be long and troublesome.
 The Globe says: "America's mis- take has been in attempting to per form a big job with small means. Now that this has led to the customary con. sequences, it may be safely assumed that the United States will place such an overpowering force in the field as to beat down any opposition"
