THE KAISER:S OATH.
Emperor William Says He Renewed
it Standing on the Mount
OF Olives.

Berlin, Feb. 4-Emperor William,
speaking at the annual banquet last
night of the Brandenburg diet, said:
THE Hohenzollerns have always consid-
cred themselves responsible to God per
sonally for their acts and Il sense Of re
sponsibility to the people has also been
Inherited by every HohenZoller.
When | stood on the Mount of Olives
/ renewed the oath taken TO the colors
moi TO leave & stone unturned to assure
the welfare of the people"
His majesty recalled Marshal Won
Moltke's words to Prince Bismarck after
the ErancoGerman war: Now is the
time to see the tree grow" and said I
will be 4 good gardener to the tree Of
the German empire, topping off the
branches which impede its growth and
eXtirpating obnoxious root gnGWers."
The Emperor then alluded to the uni
yersal efforts being made to maintain
peace and declared that Germany must
stand united, like a bronze rock, against
any attempt to disturb peace"
He added: Peace must be preserved
at home and abroad and the people of
the mark of Brandenburg above all must
lend me their help to do So.
His majesty concluded with calling for
cheers for the mark Of Brandenburg and
It's inhabitants.

Inlay City, Mich, Feb. 6.-Chicago &
Grand Trunk passenger train No. /,
westbound, plunged full speed into pas
senger train No. g, eastbOund, while the
latter was standing at the station here
today. The results of the crash were
fatal and otherwise disastrous. The fol-

bound train, leg broken.
Ripley White of Lapeer, passenger on
eastbound train, ankle bruised.
English, Strathroy Ont, slightly

Both trains were fast mail trains. The
eastbound was standing near the station,
waiting for the coming train to pass it
according to custom. The latter instead
OF slackening and stopping, crashed into
NO. =. The employees of the westbOund
train and the passengers Of the east
bound suffered the most. The locOmo-
tlves were both badly wrecked and the
mail cars are damned across the tracks
All the passenger coaches remain on the

A SECOND ATTACK
Dewey Sends Dispatch Which Leads
to Belief there was One.

Washington. D. c., Feb. G.-The Dew
ey dispatch received this morning stated
that two men had been seriously injured
on the MonadnOck, raising the total list
Of wounded for the navy to the number
of eleven for the entire war in the Far
East. The dispatch is taken by officials
TO indicate continuation of the first
days fighting at Manila, or else a re
neWaI OF the attack, as Dewey's first dis
patch stated that there was no casual
ties in the navy.
The war department has made no move
toward further reinforcements for Gen.
Otis. Ii was pointed out that two ships
will start soon from San Francisco, one
is on the way from New York, and it
is asserted that the department feels
no doubt of the ability of Gen. Otis to
handle the situation without further aid.
It was said, however, that the ship
ment of regulars to the Philippines will
continue with as much promptness as
possible in order that the volunteers now
in the island may be relieved and sent
home.
1t may be regarded as significant that
the department at this time should de-
clare its intention of continuing to with
draw the volunteers as fast as they can
be spared from active duty.

Further reports will follow. OTIS
The officials Of the war department say

ercises in dealing with such matters
The details furnished by Gen. Otis can
be relied upon in every particular.
The second bulletin received from Gen.
Otis continued the list of casualties IN
the Manila fight The general seems to
have abandoned the style of report he
adopted in the first bulletin, and instead
of giving a statement of casualties by
brigades, he appears to have summarized
all of the killed in the second bulletin, IN
addition to the eight mentioned as killed
in the first bulletin, along with the
wounded The second bulletin contains
Il list of thirtytwo dead, making In addi-
ton to the previous bulletin q. total Of
forty-six killed in the battle of Saturday

Manila, Feb. G.-T:15 p. m.-Owing to
the area embraced III the scene of Sun
days engagement, 4 semi-circle Of fully
seventeen miles, details regarding fighting
have been extremely difficult to obtain.
So far as can be gathered, the brush
commenced at $40 on Saturday evening,
by the firing Of a Nebraska sentry at
Santa Mesa upon Eilipinos who were de-
liberately crossing the line, after re-
peated warnings, with the evident pur-
pose Of drawing our fire.
The first shot from the American SEN
try was evidently accepted as a pre-
arranged signal, for it was followed al
most Immediately by a terrific fuSilladc
along the entire Filipino line on the
north side of the Pasig river. The
American outpoStS returned the fire with
such vigor that the Fiiipinos We're
checked until the arrival Of reinforce
ments.
All the troops in the vicinity were hur-
ried out and the Filipinos ceased firing
for half an hour while their own rein
firing was resumed. the American fir
ing line consisting of the Third artillery,
the Kansas and Montana regiments, the
Minnesota regiment, the Pennsylvania,
the Nebraskan the Utah battery, the
Idahos, the WashingtOns, the CalifOrni-
ans, the Fourth cavalry, Colorado, North
Dakota and South Dakota volunteers,
Sixth artillery and Fourteenth infantry.
The EilipinOS concentrated their forces
at three points, CalOocan, Santa Mesa
and Galingalan, and maintained an in
termittent fusillade for some hours.
This brought artillery into action at
GalipgaIan at 1920, but only one gun
annoyed the Americans TO any apprecia-
BILE extent.
