MANY FILIPINoS SLAIN.
A Week of Fighting in Manila Dur
ing which 37S Insurgents Were
Killed and Many Wounded.

Manila. April 23.--Last week was
one of the bloodiest of the war since
the first days fighting around Manila.
Authentic reports, mostly official,
show q total of 37S Filipinos killed, IL
officers and 244 men captured and
many more wounded. The number
wounded is hardly guessable. Con-
sidering that the Filipinos entirely
lack hospital faculties, great ma
jority of the wounded will die. Prob
ably the weeks work finished 1000
insurgents. The Americans loss was
nine killed and 16 wounded. Two SER
geants and one private were killed
in ambushes while escorting provision
trains.
The insurgents have been aggres-
sive in almost every province of Lu-
zon. Gen. Pho del Pillars band, num-
bering 300, which was out of sight for
three months, the leader being report
ed killed, has reappeared in it's old
field about San Miguel. Pillar is sup
posed to be again in command. He
gave the American garrison at San
Miguel. consisting of three companies
of the Thirty-ffth infantry, with a
gatling, three hours fight, during
a night attack. The loss of the insur-
gents in this engagement is not in
cluded in the foregoing total, as they
removed their dead and wounded, but
presumably it was considerable.
Twenty Filipinos in the province of
Batangas attacked Lieut.. Wonde, who
with eight men was scouting near San
Jose. The lieutenant and five men
were wounded and one private was
killed.
Sergt. Ledoius, of the Thirty-fifth
infantry, was badly wounded in an
ambush near Baliung. Lieut.. Balch, of
the Thirty-seventh infantry, with 20
men, had a five-hour fight with 400
insurgents in the Nueva Caceras dis
trict. Twenty of the insurgents were
killed.
Col. Smith, of the Seventeenth infan-
try, who captured Gen. Montenegro
and brought him to Manila, is in the
isolationhospital suffering from small
pox, presumably caught from the Fill
pinos. Col. Smiths command captured
$50 officers and men with Montenegro.
The officers were brought to Manila.
Montenegro, who was formerly one
of the most dapper officers in the Fill
pino army, looks worn and haggard.
He says he has led terrible life for
months, and he has offered to return
to the north with Col. Smith to en-
deavor to persuade his former com
rades of the uselessness of opposing
the Americans.

TURKEY WILL PAY.
United States Threat to Send War
ships Brings n Reply on the
Indemnity Claim.

Constantinople, April 23.-The sub
lime porte, greatly concerned over
the firm attitude of Col. Hay, the
American secretary of state, has re-
piled to the American demand for
payment of the 100000 ($1O0O0O)
claimed as compensation for damage
to American property during the Ar
menian massacres. The sultan agrees
to pay the Americans under the same
conditions as apply to citizens of
other foreign states who sustained
losses in the same uprisings. The sui
tan breads an American naval dem
onstration in the Mediterranean, and
his worry over the indemnity compli-
cation has had the erect of leading
him to abandon the arbitrary raising
of customs duties. Whereas the am
bassadors hitherto have lodged with
his majesty four Intellectual protests,
now he consents to negotiate the mat
ter.
The representatives of the other
great powers here watch the issue of
the Turco-Amcrican difficulty with
great interest, for if the United States
succeeds in getting a settlement from
this bad debtor the other powers will
demand the immediate adjustment of
their claims. 1t is understood here
that the American government actual
ly has threatened to send the Turkish
minister, Ali Ferrouh Bey, his pass
ports unless the matter is quickly
cleared up.
