The Filipino gener- aOe, whose forces lost over 1,000 killed in attacks by King's brigade last Sun day, fled to the interior in disgius? to escape Violence at the hands of their own people whom they deluded into the belief that the Americans wouldT be easily put to rout. The Filipinos in command of the main body of the in--surgents are still for war, and have asked Aguinaldo for reinforcements, though they won't receive aid from the Tagolos, whom they declare can't fight. Large bodies of natives are massing about Caloocan, and at is believed they are preparing for further conflict. Na tive reinforcements just arrived, who have not had the benefit of. the lesson taught Aguinaldo's forces Sunday, are very aggressive .and last night fired on the American at Caloocan. No dam age resulted from this fire. These na tives include -several regiments,' and" they face McArthurVa forces which will have to bear the brunt of another en gagement if It occurs.

The First Tennessee and a heavy bat tery has gone to Iloilo to demand th evacuation and surrender of the 'town by 9 o'clock Friday morning. In the event of refusal the war ships there (Boston and Petrel) will bombard. After the natives are driven out, the city will be occupied and the natives taught the same lesson given the enemy here.
