MANILA, Feb. 12.--l1 10 a. m.--Yesterday
afternoon a accommodating party of the
Fourteenth infantry came upon large body
OF the enemy in the jungle near Camp
Dewey. The rebels were attacked and fell
back upon the main line of the insurgents.
The Fourteenth infantry, the North Da-
kota volunteers and the Fourth cavalry then
engaged the enemy and drove them toward
the beach, where one of the gunboats re-

The enemys loss Is severe and they scat
tered along the beach, seeking cover from
the fire of the Americans.
Privates Ransom, Hensel and Saunders
of Company f of the Fourteenth infantry
and two troopers of the Fourth cavalry were
wounded.
The bodies OF two members Of the Califor-
MIA regiment were subsequently found in
the bush to the right of the line. They had
been shot to pieces by the enemy. One of
these bodies was identified as that of Private
Abneghan, but the other has not yet been
identified.
MANILA, Feb. 11.-1O:55 a. m.-The fol-
lowing additional particulars regarding the
capture OF Cafoocan have been obtained:
The insurgents had been concentrating their
forces for days at Caloocan, and Major Gen.
eral Elwell S. Otis determined to attack
them. He instructed his commanders ac-
cordingly, and requested the assistance OF
the naval forces under the command of Rear
Admiral Dewey.
General Macarthur reported that all was
ready and at 8 o'clock he received the fol-
lowing message: THE commanding general
orders you to go ahead with the program.
BARRY"
The attack began Immediately. The
monitor Monadnock and the cruiser Charles
ton shelred Caloocan and the country north
of It for half an hour. General MacArthur's
artillery also did effective work from
hill in the rear. Brigadier General Harrison
Gray Otis, with his brigade, consisting of
the Kansas regiment. the Montana regiment
and the Third artillery regulars acting as
infantry advanced handsomely pushing
forward in the face of the Filipino bullets
as cheerfully as II they had been snowbal1s.
The enemy was utterly routed and fled TO
the mountains.
At O'Clock cease firing" and "recall''
were sounded. The troops were then well
through Caloocan and north of II. General
Macarthur established his left at Caloocan
and strengthened his lines for the night. BY
the capture of Caloocan the control OF much
of the rolling stock of the Manila Dagupan
railroad was obtained. The city is now
quieter and business is better than at any
time since the outbreak OF hostilties.
The American losses yesterday were three
men killed and thirty-two wounded. Among
the wounded Is the gallant Lieutenant
Colonel Bruce Wallace of the Montana regi-
ment and a lieutenant of the Second cavalry,
who was shot through the lungs while lead
ing charge across the open country.

American Attack Carried Ont with
the Utmost PrecisiOn-Profound
Dismay Among Filipino Agents.

LONDON, Feb. IA dispatch to Reuters
Telegram company from Manila, describing
the capture of Caloocan, dwells upon the
excellence of the American plans and the
precision with which they were carried out
The dispatch adds: At p. m. the American
ships ceased firing. Then the army fired
three guns, at an interval of ten seconds
signalling the advance of the whole line, the
Kansas regiment leading through the jungle.
The rebels left wing was diverted by Major
Bell and 100 men, 1t was like clockwork.
There was no hitch anywhere
The rebels estimated to have numbered
10000 men, were demoralized by the shells.
The Americans advanced in open order. AT
800 yards there was a halt and then a
charge and the rebels stampeded from their
trenches, which were admirably constructed
The Americans refrained from wasting
ammunition, but rushed on without firing
and used their bayonets and the butts OF
their rifles. There was heavy slaughter.
The railroad is practically uninjured To-
day the ships are Smelling beyond Cafoocan.
The Americans will probably reach Malabon
today and Malalos in fortnight.
Dispatches to the Globe from Hong Kong

that President Mckinley had told important

his views on high protection had undergone

want TO know something about the Society
of American women in London? Well,
there's not much to tell yet"
Mrs. Hugh Reid Griffin, the president Of
the society having thus prefaced her an
swer to the request for particulars, went
on to say:
During the twenty years l have lived
in England there has been the keenest de-
sire to some union for bringing together
the American women who have taken up
their permanent of even temporary resi-
dence here. There is an immense colony,
but we are scattered in this huge city. I
have often been in a room with fifty Amer
leans without being able to claim acquaint-
ance with one.
The society, we hope, will form a bond
Of union between the American women in
London, many of whom probably lead lonely
uninteresting lives because cut off from their
own people. But aside from the question of
| social intercourse, special advantages must
accrue from membership in a society whose
influence will be peculiarly useful in pro-
noting the very highest ideals in art, music
and literature
'The idea originated with you, under
stand? %
well yes" Mrs. Griffin replied "The
scheme has been terminating almost a year
and from its origin in small social gather
ings has at last developed into definite
form. Soross has offered us it's name and
proposed affliation. Indeed we have re-
ceived the heartiest congratulations from
the other side.
at has been decided to hold regular meet
ings and to have a social luncheon monthly
at Hotel Cecil. The expense attached to
these meetings will not exceed a dollar. In
addition the committee intends to give oc-
casional at homes to which members and
friends may be invited.
THE idea is that at first none but Amer
leans shall be eligible to membership, but
when we become firmly established an
honorary membership will be formed, which
will be open to women of any nationality
The fee is one guinea yearly.
