Stars and Stripes Now Float Over Ca
lbocan, Which Was Fiercely
Attacked Yesterday.
. Manila, Feb. 10. The American flag,
was raised at 5:30 o'clock this afternoon
over Caloocan, where the rebels had
concentrated in farce. The monitor
Monadnock and the gunboat Concord
began shelling the town at 2:30. Then
the Sixth artillery and the Utah bat
tery opened fire on the Filipino en
trenchments and at 4 o'clock Briga
dier General Otis' entire brigade, with
the exception of the Tenth Pennsylva
nia, held in reserve, began to advance.
The Twentieth Kansas was on the left
and the First Montana and Third ar
tillery on the right. The Finst Idaho
and Fourth cavalry acted as a support
ing column. The insurgents kept up a
rattling fire but the Americans ad
vanced through the woods on the left
and across an open field on the right
without stopping; firing only when
they reached the enemy's entrench
ments. In the meantime a company of the
Finst Montana, under Major Bell, who
volunteered for this service, executed a
neat right flank movement, arriving at
the enemy's left flank back of the town.
Cheering like mad the Americans
rushed over the enemy's trenches,
completely routing the Filipinos, who
fled in disorder toward the north.
The residence of an ' Englishman
named Higgins was the only house in
town that had a flag staff. This was
borrowed for the occasion and the
Stars and Stripes run up amid tremend
ous cheers.
... As the Americans entered the town
from tlhe south they set fire to a num
ber of huts,-in which some natives "had
c'dnfeealed themselves' for the purpose
of firing upon the rear of our troops.
The natives fled in a hurry.
- Our losses were slight, but those of the
enemy heavy, their casualties having
been inflicted by shrapnel. Lieutenant
CJolonel Wallace, of the First Montana
regiment, was among the wounded.
Aguinaldo is now at Marilao, seven
miles north of Manila, endeavoring to
reorganize his shattered army.
OTIS' ACCOUNT
OF THE FIGHTING
Aguinaldo' s Capture Regarded asCer
tain if He Remains With His
Troops-
Washington, Feb. 10. The war de
partment late thia evening received the
following despatch from Otis, dated
Manila, Feb. 10:
"Insurgents collected in considerable
force between Manila and Caloocan,
where Aguinaldo lis reported to 'be, and
threatened an attack and uprising in
the city this afternoon. Swung left of
McArthur's division, which is north of
the Paedg river, into Caloocan, driving
the enemy out easy. Our left is now at
Caloocan. Our loss is slight. That of
the enemy considerable. Will send
particulars in the morning. Attack was
preceded by half hour's firing from two
of Dewey's vessels."
The capture of Caloocan is very grati-

OTIS THREATENED TO
v ARREST AGUINALDO
Because He Would not Eelease Span
ish Prisoners.
Washington, Feb. 10. From letters
written to Major General Otis by Agui
naldo it appears that Otis threatened
Aguinaldo with arrest if he persisted
In his refusal to release Spaadeibl civil
officers and monks held prisoners by
him. Otis finst advised Aguinaldo to
surrender the prisoners and when Ag
uinaldo wrote explaining why he held
them, Otis made a stronger request.
Aguinaldo refused to comply and then
Otis threatened arrest.
In his letter Aguinaldo said he didn't
hold women and children as prisoners,
but that some had chosen to remain
with tihedr husbands and fathers. He
kept monks because they had done
more, he said, than any others in en
slaving his people. Both monks and
civil officers, he claimed, had borne
arms against the Filipinos and there
fore he held them.

and solicitor in each county.

arguments in the. matter of the removal
of Major Wilson from the railroad
commission by the governor. The
questions asked by the committee are

with gross earnings of lass than $2,000

This impeachment of Judge Norwood
is going to be a pretty large matter,
and if the legislature adjourns on the
25th there will have to be haste in
starting the proceedings. A senator
I said the house did not seem to appreci
ate that impeachment was rather a
serious and formidable thing and that
it would be necessary to give Judge
Norwood ample notice and opportunity
to present his witnesses and be heard.
The .house will first have to present the
impeachment to the senate and then the
senate will try. Tlito . senator thought
the house should have provided under
section 31, article 4 of the constitution,
which provides r that any judge "may
De removed from office for mental or
physical inability upon v a oortcurrsnt
resolution of two-thirds of both houses
of the geoeral assembly." But it is
provided that the judge shall receive
twenty days' notice with a copy of
tne charges before action 5a taken.
Another . (Senator said . significantly that
the house should have proceeded under
to but he senate would determine the
matter," And he is a friend of Judge
Norwood's. The strength the judge
shows is wonderful.
The bill of Representative Curtis
providing for the pay of witnesses in
Buncombe only, passed by the house,
will be a material benefit to witnesses.
It provides that section 739 of the code
be so amended that witnesses paid by
the county shall receive full legal fees
instead of half fees. Section 747 ia so
amended that the county shall pay.
witnss fees where the prisoner, is
convicted and unable to pay costs. On
the other hand the bill changes section
3,756 so that witnesses are paid seventy
five centos per day instead of, $J Mr.
Curtis says 'it is more just for the coun
ty to pay a small fee in full than half
of a larger amount. ,
A bill passed by the house changes
a small section of one county to an
other, but curiously provides that'a cer
tain named man who lives in the trans
ferred territory shall still remain a cit
izen of the county in which he does not
live.
The joint committee on courts and
court districts has1 not agreed what it
will recommend, but since the caucus
decided to have no more superior
courts several committeemen say it
is altogether probable that the crim-
j inal courts' will be abolished and then
re-established. In fact this was the
expression of the caucus, though not by
formal resolution.
