formed of the situation at Washington
The natives have also had an excellent
opportunity to learn the difference in
the fighting qualities of the Spanish
and Americans, and their enlighten-
ment has been great. Twenty Ameri-
can soldiers were killed in the action
One died during the firing from disease
made worse by the excitement. Eight
cen Americans were wounded serious
ly enough to take to the hospital. A
number of others received slight in
juries.
The fighting was not the result Of any
aggression on the part of the Ameri-
cans, but was precipitated by the ac-
ton of two native soldiers, who refused
to obey the order of the sentry who
challenged their passage Of his post.
Two natives advanced to the outposts
of the First Nebraska Regiment, who
are stationed to the northeast of Ma
Mia AS they approached the sentry
the latter ordered them to halt. They
insolently refused to do so and con-
tinued to advance. The sentry again
called upon them to halt, and as they
paid no attention to the order, he lev
eled his rifle and fired upon them.
The action of the natives leads to the
supposition that their refusal to obey
the sentry was a part of a preconceived
plan No sooner had the sentry fred
than the Filipinos who were occupying
blockhouse No. T. fired gun, which
was evidently the signal for an attack
to be made on the Americans. The Ne
braska regiment was encamped in the
vicinity of the outpost where the shoot
ing occurred, and it was upon this reg
iment the first attack was made. I'm
mediately after the firing of the signal
gun the Filipinos moved against the
Nebraskans. They were not prepared
for the reception they got. They
thought they would take the Ameri-
cans by surprise. but in this they were
grievously disappointed, finding the
Americans ready for any contingency.
The fighting spread on both sides un-
til there was extensive firing going on
at all outposts. Our troops who had
been expecting trouble, were glad to
have an opportunity to square accounts
with the natives, whose insolence of
late was becoming intolerable, and re-
sponded with alacrity and vigor to the
fire of the Filipinos, which was heavy.
The enemy occupied trenches they have
been digging for some time past in
plain view of the Americans, much to
the disgust of the latter.
In the meantime Admiral Dewey had
not been idle. During the night it was
impossible for him to use shells. as his
firing would have been as dangerous
to the Americans as to the natives He
gave orders, however that as soon as it
was light enough to allow the positions
of the enemy to be determined with
accuracy the cruise Charleston and
the captured gunboat Callao should
take hand in the game. AT daybreak
the two warships took up positions and
opened fire on the enemy north of the
city. Later on the monitor Monadnock

and when the fighting ceased
our troops were in possession of
Santa Anna, at which village the
natives have rendezvoused for
weeks previous to the fight.
While the American troops
were doing such effective work
repelling the attack, news of the
fight was received on board the
vessels of the American squadron
and the monitor Monadnock,
which was lying off Malate, join

TREACHEROUS
NATIVES TAUGHT
AN AWFUL LESSON

MANILA, Feb. 5, 1:25 p. m.-The at
tack by the Filipinos on the Americans
last night has probably taught them a
lesson they will be long in forgetting.
This lesson may result in the better
ment of the anomalous situation here
caused. by the delay of the American
Senate in ratifying the treaty of
peace. The delay undoubtedly had the
effect of encouraging Aguinaldo and
his supporters, whose agents in the
United States have kept them well in

DEATH BLOW TO

MANILA, Feb. 6, 6 a. m.-The
3 Filipinos have apparently reached
!. the conclusion that the Americans
mean business now that the bar
. riers are removed, as there were
no further hostilities last night

!. cover the lost ground. 1t is posi-
Z bic, however, that they are fol-

against the Spaniards, and will

cuperate their forces before re-
turning to the attack.
) 1t is impossible to ascertain as
yet how the news has been re-
) ceived at Malolos, the seat of the
}. insurgent government, but the
Filipinos in Manila express the
opinion that the movement for in
dependence has received it's death
, blow and that annexation will
soon be welcomed generally.

AT daybreak the warships Charleston
and Callao began shel1ing the north
side of the city.
Their fire was followed later by that

the insurgents position having been
previously accurately located.
The Filipino loss is reported to have
been heavy. The wounded on the
American side is now estimated at
200. Few Americans were killed.

vance all along the line Sunday

Several vessels in Dewey's
squadron participated in the
fight, firing on the natives in Ma
late and Calvocan, and driving
them inland from both those
places.
This engagement was brought
about by the action of three ma
tive scouts, who, advancing close
TO the American lines near Santa
Mesa, made a feint to go through.
They retreated upon being chal-
lenged, but returned again in a
short time. Once more they re-
treated. When they returned a
third time and attempted to make
their way past the outposts of the
Nebraska troops, Corporal Gree
ley challenged them and then fir

This affair was followed at 9
o'clock by general attack on
the American outposts. The in
surgents advanced all along the
line from Calvocan to Santa
Mesa. Our troops lost no time
in replying to the attack. The
members of the North Dakota,

ments returned the insurgent
fire with great vigor and sue

American troops arrived on the
scene. There was a lull in the
fighting after the first reply oi

continued for five hours with
much regularity. During the
early hours of the morning it be-
came more brisk, and at daylight

From the Berliner Klinische woch-
enschrift: The development OF abnor-
NAL redness of the nose is the conse-
quence of wearing a veil in winter.
The discoloration ia most pronounced
at those points where the veil is most
intimately applied to the face. The eff
feet is due partly to the mechanical
action of the sharp and rough texture
upon a sensitive skin and to the in
fuence OF the watery vapor that col
leets within its meshes and prevents
evaporation. Blood is thus driven
from the tip Of the nose to adjacent
parts, whose blood vessels in conse-
quence become enlarged and conspic-
uous. The condition is aggravated il
the use of the veil Is persisted in on
passing from cold to a warm atmos-
phere. The alterations tend to become
permanent the longer the veil is worn
without airing, the longer its injurious
action is maintained by compression,
the colder the season, and the greater
the exposure. Sometimes the cheeks
are also affected similarly. When the
use of veil is necessary, it should not
extend below the nasal orifces. SO as
to permit the escape of watery vapor.
Further, 1t should not be too heavy,
nor should 1t be too tight
