BELIEVED SECOND ATTACK WAS MADE
AMERICANS KILLED
FORTY-FOUR

Manila, Feb, 6 The fighting
which began yesterday morning at
$50 continued fercely until even
ing. The natives, however, we're
routed with great slaughter. 1t is
estimated that the loss of the in
surgent army, killed aud wounded,
was 1000, which is not believed to
be exaggerated.
The natives were confidently ag-
gressive, and wholly uuprepared
for the terrible punishment which
the Americans inflicted upon them
from the outset. The indications
are that they had been secretly
planning the attack for some time,
and expected to find the Ameri-
cans off their guard. In this. how
ever, they had reckoned without
their host, although the casualties
were by no means confined to the
Filipino ranks, II Americans hav-
ing been killed and upwards of
200 wounded. The number. of
American troops engaged were
1900, while the natives numbered
over 10000.
The casualties which occurred
among the Colorado troops were
as follows:
In Co B
Private Orton Twever, Wounded

will return to Manila Two men
were wounded yesterday on board

1t is believed that this cable
gram left Manila at least twelve
hours ter any others that have
been received, which leads to the
conclusion that the insurgents
have again attacked Manila.

ANOTHER s0AKER.
The City Visited Last Night With
Another Of Those Remarkable
Rainstorms.

The city was Thursday night visited by
another..of those tropical transforms that
are so frequent in this section since the
United States annexed Cuba and Porto
Rico. There was terrific Thunderstorm
also, and between 'em both, the night
was anything but monotonous. The rain
fell in that same sloppy way and with
the same peculiar ease and rapidity that
characterize the spring rains this year.
There was little flooding in the same
low sections of the city. The drains
along Broadway and Fourth street were
full, and in places the water rose over
the walks, and it did a little mussing up
in buildings that are located on the low
lands. The cellar of the old Merchants
building is full again, just as it had
passed up the last of the water from the
former spell of rainy weather.

Reading Circle Books.

The following books have been selected
for the Reading Circle work for the
coming year:
Pages Theory and Practice of Teach
ing.
Matthews Introduction to American
Literature.
Carpenters North America has been
selected as an alternative volume, which
may be used by the teachers who have
previously studied Pages or Matthews
book.
It would be difficult to find more help
full and interesting books for the teach
ers, especially for the teachers of the
country or village school. Pages book
is universally recognized as standard
authority on teaching, and probably has
done more than any other volume on the
subject to improve the teachers and the
schools. Matthews is favorite Ameri-
can author and critic, and his new book
book is universally satisfactory.
sincerely hope that every teacher in
Burleigh county will study these books
during the coming year.
