Washington. Feb. 5.-Admira1 Dewey
to-day cabled the navy department that
hostilfties had begun between the
American army and naval forces in
and about Manila and the Philippine
insurgents. The insurgents, he said,
had been the aggressors and had been
repulsed.
Manila, Feb. 5.-To the Secretary of
the Navy. Washington: Insurgents here
inaugurated n general engagement yes

The American army and navy is sener-

driven back and our line advancing. No
casualties to tile navy.

The news came like a shock for the
5admiaistTatinrsa though apprised that
an ugly situation prevailed in the Phil
ippines, had chung steadily to a hope
that by tact and patience actual fight
ing might be averted and even those
public men who felt that hostilities
would follow should the treaty be rati-
fed and the United States attempt to
occupy the islands believed that Aguin-
aldo would not force the fighting when
the treaty of peace was in it's most
critical stage. Some senatorial oppo-
nents of ratification of the treaty ad-
here to their position, but the general
opinion in Washington tonight is that
the news from Manila insures the rati-
f1cation of the treaty Tomorrow after
noon.
The news of the beginning of another
war came from Admiral Dewey. No
word had been received from General
Otis up to nightfall 1t seems to be

MIST sHoR ITS HANp.

To judge from present appearances
the Paris treaty has not made any
marked progress toward ratification in
the senate, and, what is more, Is not
likely to unless the opposition is ap-
peased by concessions. OF this fact
Senator Davis, who is cheirPan Of the
committee on foreign relations and in
charge Of the treaty, has been inform
ed by delegation from the opposition,
which insists that before a vote shall
be taken on the treaty either an
amendment to IL must be mace or a
separate resolution passed TO the effect
that the United States will exercise no
sovereignty, jurisdiction or control
over the Philippine islands. With an
understanding OF this nature the oppo.
sition is ready TO accept the treaty.
So far Senator Davis has not seen his
way clear TO accept the proposition.
He may d. SO when he finds that the
opponents are numerous enough and
remain firm in their demands They
claim to control thirty.six votes, or

administration will be bound to def

such policy for an administration

mand, and IL the treaty is TO be con

At no stage in the whole history OF
the territory has there beer such an
enthusiastic outburst for state hood as
that which marked the action OF the
statehood convention that met In the
,apital yesterday. BY unanimity OF
sentiment among the delegates from
every section of the territory every in
harmonious thought was given a back
seat, aud every fort was centralized
upon the one single purp Sc to secure
t,tehood at the v,ry first opportunity
and by the shortest possible road.
No convention ever assembled in
this or'any. other state or territory
with less lnharmonious elements in It.
This was In marked contrast to the
statehood conventions heretofore held
at Perry and Kingfisher. In both of
these conventions personal ambition
and partisan advantages appeared on
the surface even before the convention
met and largely dominated their ac-
tion. In the convention last night,
unless voting down the amendment to
the resolution committees report, Of
fsred by Hon. - .Leahy delegate from
the Usage nation, can be counted in
that way, no element OF partisan pol
itics showed its appearance. Politics,
sectional feeling, capital location, and
every other consideration, seek ed by

pose Of statehood for which the con,
