FILIPINO FIGHTING.
Description by Capt. Bates of Gen,

Description by Capt. Bates of Gen,
Greene's staff.
From the New York Independent
The Filipino method Of fighting seemed
somewhat peculiar to u.s. Izsaw several
night engagements. which began precisely
as the engagement of Saturday. February
4, Is reported to have begun. It was the
custom of the Fiipinos at some time dur
ing the night to open fire on the Spanish
INES and keep it up for two or three hours
The Spaniards from their works would re-
ply in the same manner and a large
amount of ammunition would be expended
ov poth sides, with little result, beyond
1ew men wounded and possibly one or two
hliied. Such fights as these were of almost
nightly occurrence, and I have no douht
that it was a fight of this kind that the
fllplnos began on the night of February
Accorolng to their custom, they probably
considered IT over. when they stopped firing.

the Americans would continue The battle

A PANIC IN MANILA.
Curious Stampedes That Take Place
There Every Little While.
From the Kansas City Journal.

From the Kansas City Journal
All of the recent letters from Manila refer
to the panics which seized the inhabitants
of the city at frequent intervals during the
days just preceding the recent battle. One
of these stampedes is thus described bv
capt. Elliott of the Coffeyvil'e COMPANY in
the 20th Kansas: About 2:3O O'clock the
natives and Chinese were observed fo he
running in every direction. Presently the
soldiers began to come from every avenue
in the direction of the barracks They
moved quickly. but with remarkable cool
ness and steady demeanor. Corporal Ba-
Der, whom l had sent on an errand near
the barracks Of thee1st Battalion, came to
my room. saluted like the good soldier that
he is. and said: Captain, there is some
tives are fairly flying in all directions the
Chinese are running like rats to their holes
and the stores are being closed"
Like reports came in from all directions
from men who had been in different parts
of the city. The cali to quarters was sound
ed, the rolls were called and every man of
my company not on duty answered, Here,
The same was true Of the other companies
of our battalion. Two or three officers
were caught away from home and did not
get in on good time
On the Escolta, at the bridge of Spain,
and in the walled city the scene that fo,-
lowed was beyond my powers of descrip-
tion. No one seemed to be aware of the
cause of the stampede. l never witnessed
anything like it in my life. The wave of
excitement swept over the entire city after
the manner of a cyclone. The street ca rs,
were jammed together in groups: carrabos'
carts piled up against one another and bar
ricaded the narrow streets, quilez were inl
terlocked5 overturned and their occupa tsi
thrown out; doors and shutters were closed
md barred: men, women and children ran
hither and thither and crowded and jostfed

cape some dreadful. direful, impending ca
lamity. u.
The soldiers alone behaved with admi-
rable GOODNESS. Guards were doubled and
trebled In an Incredibly short space of
time platoons of infantry were thrown
across each approach to the great bridge
and no one but soldiers afoot was allowed
to pass. Armed men took possession of the
Escolta and the avenues leading thereto,
and used their persuasive powers" to calm
the storm and bring order out of chaos.
American courage and display of Amer
lean sense and judgment prevailed. In less
than an hour the ''whrlwind'' had passed
and trade and traffic We're resumed. The
question with the soldier was, What in
