MANILA, Feb. u, 11:15 a. m.-Yesterday
afternoon a reconnoitering party of the
Fourteenth Infantry came upon a large
body of the enemy in the jungle near Camp
Dewey. The rebels were attacked and fell
back on the main line of the insurgents.
The Fourteenth Infantry, the North Dakota
Volunteers and the Fourth Cavalry then
engaged the enemy and drove them towards
the beach. where one of the gunboats re-
ceived them with a fusillade from automatic
Colt guns. The enemy's loss is severe and
they scattered along the beach seeking cover
from the fire of the Americans.
Privates Ransom, Hensel and Saunders, of
Company T, of the Fourteenth Infantry,
and two troopers of tho Fourth Cavalry
were wounded. The bodies of two mem
bers of the California regiment were subse-
quently found in the bush to the right of
the line. They had been shot to pieces by
the enemy. one of these bodies was identi-
lied as that of Private Abnepham, but the
other has not yet been identified.

SLAUGHTER OF "1NNocExTs."
Filipino JuntO Accuses Americans OF
killing Women and Children.

HONG-KONG, Feb. IL. The Filipino
Junto here has issued the following state
ment:
"A Manila steamer has arrived here with
the American censored version of the fight
ing, which is utterly false. The Americans
commenced hostilities by the treachery CT
General Otis simultaneously by land and
sea. Aguinaldo possessed a signed guar
antee from the American commissioners that
there would be no hostilities on their part.
Hence the Filipino troops were resting
and many of the Filipino officers were at
the theater Saturday night and were ar
rested shortly before the outbreak.
THE bombardment of the defenseless
towns of Malate, Paco Santa Ana and
Malabon caused frightful slaughter among
the women and children. 1t is estimated
that 1000 of them were killed. The Filipino
forces, whose loss was comparatively small,
tenaciously held to their positions.
'sThe conduct of the Americans in the
suburbs was outrageous. They compelled
the inhabitants to leave their huts and then
shot them down regardless of sex.
There is a reign of terror at Manila,
Civilians arc shot in the streets without
being challenged.
THE Iloilo commissioners arrived at Ma
Mia at the invitation of the Americans, and
when they started to return the American
soldiers were looting and pillaging.
General Aguinaldo sent commissioners to
inquire of General Otis the reason for the
hosuHties, offering summary punishment of
the Filipinos if they were found to be at
fault. He received no satisfaction.
THE Americans are apparently determined
on war of determination, similar to their
doings in Carolina in November, violating
the rights of mankind and of civilized war
fare and committing a monstrous outrage on
civilization.
There is no doubt that the action of
General Otis was a political move to in
fiuence the vote Of the United States Sem
ate, fearing an exposure of the corrup-
tions al Manila.
-Four vessels are leaving Manila to bonn
bard uoiIo."

NEW YoRK's COLDEsT DAY.
Suffering Among the Poor Intense
Rivers Blocked with Ice.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-This was the cold
est day New York has had since the
Weather Bureau began business, which was
in 1872 At 1880 a. m the thermometer reg
istered 6.3 degrees below zero. That was
two-tenths of a degree colder than Friday
This is the first time in its history that
New York has had three daBs of continued
zero weather. At midnight the thermome-
ter on lower Broadway recorded degrees
above zero. To-day was far colder than
three other cold days when the mercury has
fallen to degrees below. This was because
the average or mean temperature was lower
Yet it did not feel cold to-day as it did on
Thursday or Friday, owing to absence OF
wind.
There is a continuance of the suffering
among the poor in this city, and the same
can be said of the gripmen, drivers and
conductors on the surface roads; in fact, all
whose duty or necessity keeps them in open
air all the time. Among the poor the suffer
ing is intense.
The continuance of the cold weather has
congested the North and East rivers with
floating ice. In some places the foes are
so large and thick as to prevent the pas
sage of the various river craft. Only the
smallest tug boats and the ferries are en-
The charity steamboat Thomas S. Brennan
started last night from the foot Of East
Twenty-sixth street with eighteen bodies
from the morgue for Hart's island, and
after the fight in the ice all night returned
this morning with the bodies and redepos-
tied them in the morgue
= Traffic in the North river and in the bay
was seriously hampered in the early morn
ing hours by the ice and low tide. Later,
however, during the rush hours there was
little inconvenience, most of ferries report
ing that their boats were running almost on
schedule time. There were short delays of
some of the trips caused by a boat having
to make detours up or down the river 10
avoid ice fields, or by having to make two
or three attempts at forcing a landing
when the current would set some ice foe
into the slips. At the Cortland-street ferry
the boats had had no trouble Of consequence
since o'clock this morning. Before that
time one trip had taken fifty minutes.
One of the features of the cold snap is
the contraction Of the steel and iron works
on the Brooklyn bridge. The center and
lateral giveways which were allowed for
the expansion and contraction Of the steel
and iron in the bridge are wider than ever
before. The engineers say that the limit of
contraction has been reached. and it now
matters little whether the temperature fails
a few degrees more or not, there viii be
more contraction.
The British barkentine Brazil, Captain
Namararara, is fast ashore, chained in the
ice foes two miles from Moriches, l.. /.
The British steamer Red Jacket, from
Smyrna, went ashore half mile west of
the Point lookout life-saving station, but
later she got off.

men, were demoralized by the shells The
Americans advanced in open order At 500
yards there was halt and then charge,
and the rebels stampeded from their

The Americans refrained from wasting am
munition, but rushed on without firing and
used their bayonets and the butts OF their
rifles. There was heavy slaughter. To-day
the ships are shelling beyond Caloocan. The
Americans will probably reach Malabon to-
day and Malalos in a fortnight"

A MECHANICAL MARVEL.
What Sixty Miles an Hour Mean. to
the lOcOmotiNe.

1t all sounds simple in the recital
The wonder of the thing comes into
view only when one reflects on the
speed and nicely with which cumbrouS
parts are made to do their duty. The
piston and connecting bar of a modern
locomotive weigh some 600 pounds.
When the speed is 60 miles an hour,
these parts travel back and forth five
times a second. Ten times a second,
at the end of every stroke, the piston
head is at rest. 1t must pass from this
condition to velocity of 1880 feet per
minute in one-twentieth of a second.
The drive wheels measure more than
a rod at every revolution, but when
going GO miles an hour they must turn
more than 800 times minute.
Sixty miles an hour is the merest
commonplace to the mind of the up
to date railroad man, but it means
other things besides those described
that are wonderful to the outsider. 1t
means steam pressure blow of 20
tons on each piston head every tenth
of a second. 1t means that up in the
cab the fireman is throwing into the
furnace two-thirds of n ton of coal
every hour. No. 900 burns coal faster
than ten men can mine it. 1t means
two quarts of oil every hour to keep
her journal boxes creased and every
thing running smoothly. 1t means that
the engine with its half dozen cars and
load of human freight is moving
through space with twice the power of
4 shot from a 100 ton gun. 1t means
that the engineer has worked her up
to the point where she can use every
once of steam, that he is coaXinG her
as Jockey urges his mount in a fierce
race, and yet it means that he is ready
at a seconds notice to move the re-
versing lever and apply the airbrakes
that will stop the mighty avalanche
within the distance that it covers as
it stands on the tracks.-Earl W.
MAYO in AinSIee'S.
