The treaty would probably have not been ratified at this time had not the Filipinos attacked our troops at Manila on Saturday night, as Senators Jones, of Nevada, Mc Lamin, of South Carolina, and McEnery, of Louisiana, had announced their intention of vctir.g against ratification Un til (1 e news of the battle of Ma nila came when they changed and voted for the treaty. , OASTORIA. Bears the TtlB Yon Haw Always Bought War With the Filipinos. A big Battle Fought Saturday Night and Sunday. Great Slaughter of the Phillippine Natives- by the American Troops. Two Hundred of our Soldiers Killed and Wounded. The Charlotte Observer pub lished a Monday's issue giving an account of the battle with the native Filipino army at Ma nila Saturday night and Sim day. The story of the fight is rnven to it as follows : 5 :15 p. m. The long-expected rupture be tween the Americans and the Filipinos has come at last. The former are now engaged in solv ing the Phillippine problem with the utmost expedition pos sible. The clash came at 8 :40 yesterday evening, when three daring Filipinos darted past the Nebraska regiment's" pickets, at Santa Mesa, but retired when challenged. They repeated the experiment without drawing the sentries' fire, but the last time Corporal Greeley chal lenged the Filipinos and then fired, killing one of them, and wounding another. Almost ira mediatelv afterward the Fill! pino line, from Calvocan, com mended, a iusiladc "winch, was ineffectual. The Nebraska Montana and North-Dakota out posts replied vigorously and held their ground until re-en o forcements arrived., 'The Fillipinos, in the mean time, concentrated" '-.at three 7 points- Calvocan, GagaJang and Santa Mesa. At about 1 o'clock the Filipinos opened a hot fire from all three places simultaneously. This was sup plemented. by the fire of two siege guns at Bank-Bank and by advancing their skirmishers at Paico and Pandacan. The Americans responded with terrific fire, but owing to the darkness thev were unable to determine its effect. The Utah Light Artillery finally succeed in silencing the native battery The Third Artillery also did good work on the' extreme left The encasement lasted over an hour. ; The United btates cruiser Charleston and the gun-boat Concord, stationed off Malabo na, opened fire from their sec ondary batteries. on the Fillip! nos' position -a$ Calvocan anc kept' it up vigorously. At 2 :45 there was'another fusilade" alone the entire line and the Unitec States monitor Monadnock opened fire on the enemy from off Malate. With daylight the Americans advanced. . The California and Washing ton Regiments made a splendit charge and drove the Filipino? from the village of Paico anc Cantemosa. The Nebraska Regiment also distinguishec itself, capturing several prison ers and one howitzer and a very strong position at the reservoir, which is connected with the water-works. The Kansas anc Dakota Regiments compelled the enemy's right Hank to retire to Calvocan. There was inter mittent firing at various points all cay long. The losses of the Filipinos cannot be estimated at present, but they are known to be con siderable. The American losses are estimated at 20 killed and 125 wounded. The Ygorates, firmed with bows and arrows, made a very determined stand in the face of a hot artillery fire and left many dead on the field. Sever al attempts were made in the city yesterday evening to assas sinate American officers. Our Casualties 175 Very Few Fatal. Washington, Feb. 5. -The following cable from General Otis has been received : "Manila, Feb. 5.
