Late yesterday afternoon a telegram was receiyed from Baltimore announcing the sud den death of Mr. William M. Boylan, of this city; from a stroke of appoplexy. Mr. Boylan left Raleigh Sun day before last for Johns Hop kins Hospital, Baltimore, to have a wart, which had been giving him much trouble of late, removed from his nose. The operation was succesfully per formed, and it was a shock to his relatives and friends when he intelligence of his death was received. The last reports were that he was getting along splen didly and the news was a great surprise. Mr. William Mumiord Boylan was born near this city, 76 years ago. and he had spent his whole lifetime here, at his splindid home surrounded by its broad acres, near this city. He was one of the most prominent and widely known citizens of Ral eigh. He prefered his elegant suburban home to a residence in the city, and liyed in that lavish and hospitable style, characte ristic of the Southern gentleman before the war. He was fond of country life, and was particu larly fond of the chase, and his pack of fox hounds were famous for counties around. Mrs. Boylan and three children survive him. iney are Mrs. Geo. H. Snow and Messrs. James and William Boylan. Two of the children are dead they are Mrs. Joseph Haywood and a son namra Benjamin. Airs. Boylan, his wife, was Miss Kensie, a niece of Mrs. Dr. Mason News & Observer. Brave Men Fall.

Manila, Feb. 5 The attack made by the Filipinos on the Americans last night has nrob ably taught them a lesson that they will be long in forgetting ine ngniing was not tne le- sult of any aggression on the part of the Americans, but was precipitated by the action of two natiye soldiers who refused to obey the order of a sentry who challenged their passage of his post. These two natives ad vanced to the outpost ot the First Nebraska Regiment, who are stationed to the northeast of Manila. As they approached the sentry the latter ordered them to halt. They insolently refused to do so and continued to advance. The sentry again called upon them to halt, and, as they paid no attention to his order, ne leveled his rille and fired upon them. The action of the natives leads to the suppo sition that their refusal to obey the sentry was part of a precon certed plan. No sooner had the sentry fired than the Filipinos who were oc cupying blockhouse No. 7 fired a gun, which was evidently a slg nal for an attack to be made on the Americans. The Nebraska regiment was encamped in the vicinity of the outpost where the shooting occurred, and it was upon this regiment that the first attack was made. Immediately after the firing ol the signal gun the Filipinos moved against the Nebraskans. but they were not prepared for the reception they. got. They thought that they would take the Americans by surprise, but in this they were grievously dis appointed, finding that the Americans were ready for any contingency. The fighting spread on both sides until there was extensive firing going on at all the out posts. Our troop.j, who had been expecting trouble, were glad to have an opportunity to square accounts with the na tives, whose insolence of late was becoming intolerable. They responded with alacrity and vigor to the fire of the Filipinos, whica was heavy. The enemy occupied the trenches that they bad been digging for sometime past in plain view of the Ameri cans, much to the disgust of the latter. In the meantime Admiral Dew ey had not been idle. During the night it was impossible for him to use shells, as his fire would haye been as dangerous to the Americans as to the na tives. He gave orders, however, that as soon as it was light enough to allow the positions ol the enemy to be determined with accuracy the cruiser Charleston and the captured gunboat Cal lao should take a hand in the game. At daybreak these two war ships took up positions and opened fire on the enemy north of the city. Later the monitor Monadnock was ordered to at tend to the Filipinos to the south of Manila. The positions of the enemy were accurately lo cated, and the warships poured a heavy fire into them. It is re ported that the losses of the na tives by this bombardment were very heavy. The American land forces were also inflicting heavy losses on the enemy. This morning they commenced a vigorous advance all along the line. The enemy attempted to hold their posi tions, but the Americans would not be denied, and soon the na tives were being pressed back in every direction. The Americans maintained steadily their ad vance, driving the enemy from and capturing the villages of San Juan del Monte, Santa Ana, San Pedro Macati, Santa Mesa and Lomia. While the fighting was pro ceeding in the vicinity of Manila there was great excitement among the residents of the city. The natives were wildly excited, and had it not been for the splendid police system estab lished here by the Americans there would have been a general outbreak and looting. The po lice, however, kept a strong hand on the natives and pre vented any very serious trouble There were several cases of na tives attacking American sol diers in the streets. Three Ta 1 .. gais wno tried tins game were shot acd killed. The native troops were wel armed with Mauser and Rem ington rides, but their shooting, as a rule, was ridiculously bad while? on the American side cx ccllent practice was made. It :s estimated that abou two nr.iHirca 01 our men were . r wouedc-d. Onlv a very few were killed. The engagement proved a veri table i-laughttr of I ihpinos, thousands of the m be ins killed. Gen. King's brigade charged upon a numerically strong force of the enemy, and, yelling wildly, drove them belter skelter into the Pasig River, where, iu a fren zy of terror, they were drowned ike rats. The utter fearlcssnes of the American soldiers was never bet ter demonstrated than in this enr?aKe,nnt. 1 hey appeared to find delight in battle, and every man was glaa to get into action. The firing continued through the night at occasional intervals. t was resumed this morning, but was in no way us heavy as t was at the beginning of the engagement. At noon the firing of the enemy slackened off. tl e hihppinos bting apparently de moralized by the extremely leavy looses inflicted upon them. The Americans .are buoyantly elated over the punishment they lave given the treacherous na- tves. They are fully equipped o meet any furthcrcall on them. It is thought that the enemy may rally again to-night and make another attack under cover of darkness. Il they do they will find the Americans not only ready but eager to meet them. When our troops took the trencher that had been occupied by the natives they founr' many wourdel in them. Oyer one hundred of these were taken to the American hospitals, where they were tenderly treated by the American doctors. Several hundred of the natives were cap tured and are now in the milita tary prison here. It is evident that the natlye9 have been preparing for some time for just such attack as this one. In fuitherance of their scheme last night they cut the telegraph wires, which for a time caused no little bother to the Americans. Most of the damage of this kind was in the city or in the immediate vicinity. The Signal Corps werecompelled to work hard to repair the cut lines. Butler Roasted. Senator Butler is a product of the Farmers' Alliance in North Carolina, or perhaps it would be correct to say that he used! the movement as a ladder on! which to climb into office. He has a drummer's smartness and the shallowness of a cross loads ; statesman. When he entered the Senate its average of sagacity kicked the beam. Marion Butler would not be found advocating pensio"ns for ex-Confederate soldiers at this time if he did not scheme to carry favor with his Democratic, as digtinguished from his Popti listic constituents. Populism in North Corolina is on the wane. Thousands of old Alliance me.ii bers are going over to the party they left under the manipulation of such charlatans as Butler. N. Y. Sun.
