EXASPERATING CONDUCT. Filipinos Evidently Tried to Provoke Americans to Acts ot Hostility , Hong Kong, Feb. 7. Leading up to the hostilities which began at Manila Sunday, the conduct of Filipinos around that city toward Americans had recently been most exasperating the actions of natives evidently bein.g intended to provoke Americans to commit some overt act. These annoy ances were so numerous that it is dif ficult to believe 1 they were not sanc tioned by . Filipino leaders 1 Sergeant Fischer and four engineers, while making a recdnnoissance Wed nesday last north of . Manila, within the American lines, were seized by in surgents and conveyed to Malolos.. where they wereimprisoned. The next day General Otis' sent Lieutenant Hahn to demand their release. The. lieutenant was arrested on the wax and taken from the train by Filipinos. He protested against the action of the insurgents ' and was finally allowed to proceed undjbr escort. After presenting his demand for the release of F. scher and his companions, -a special cabinet meeting was held. After adjournment the men were re leased, having, been imprisoned thirty six hours with nothing to eat but a. cup of rjee and what they were able to buy with seven cents, all the money they had with them. Three other American soldiers were captured outside the lines, and it is reported that they are ' to be court-, martialed by .Filipinos at Malolos. -A sentry outpost of the First Montana Infantry was fired upon twic last Wednesday nighty In addition to these acts, many Americans have been recently robbed. Hundreds of savage tribesmen from the north, , armed with knives and bows and, arrows, have re-enforced in surgents along the line of the rail road. Americans are keeping a sharp look out for filibusters. A small sailing ves sel was recently seized in Manila bay and her crew was put under arrest. Other boats are believed to be on their way to Luzon from various islands. Insurgents at Iloilo boast that they have won their independence and have established a civil government, mak ing the military authority subordinate thereto. KANSANS IN FIGHT. Brilliant Charge In Which a Body of Fili pinos Were Repulsed "ManilaWednesday'; Morning, Feb. 8. Three companies of a Kansas regiment under Colonel Fenton made a brilliant charge Tuesday evening against a body of Filipinos .who were attacking a reconnoitering party doing duty not fr from Caloocan. The reconnoitering party would have been cut to' pieces had it not been for the arrival of the Kansans. After a desperate conflict,' in which Lieutenant Alford and a private were killed and five men wounded, 'the enemy was driven back to Caloocan, which is the strongest position vof the rebels. Meantime light draught gunboats were shelling the town from the left and the Utah battery from the right. Their shells set the town on fire and in tlicied sever losses on Filipinos, OTIS GIVEN FREE REIN. Cabinet Decides to Place no Restrlctlor s .0 ' Upon His Action. Washington, Feb. 7. As a result of the discussion of the Philippines situ ation by the cabinet today, General Otis will be left to pursue whatever policy he pleases. No instructions have been sent as to occupying Hollo. Sec retary Alger1 was asked if Otis had been informed 'that the government left everything in hishands "Not at all," said the Secretary; "he does hot need to be told. Such instructions were sent some time ago and it is not necessary to repeat them." The text of the peace treaty was ca bled to General Otis today. Yesterday iSecretary Alger sent a dispatch saying: "Treaty ratified," and Otis cabled back asking "What, treaty?'' Officials have reached the conclusion that the rati- fication of the treaty by the Senate does not justify the. United States in estab lishing government over 1 the entire Philippine' : a rchipelago, but that we must wait for exchange of ' ratifica tions. As for the Insurgents, however, Otis has a right to treat them as rebels or foreign enemies, as by their attack they have forfeited all rights. . Congratulations to Otis and Dewey.

Aguinaldo's procla mation of Sunday says, in part: I order and command that peace and friendly relations with Americans be broken, and that the latter be treat ed as enemies within the. limits pre scribed by laws of war, and that Amer icans captured be held as prisoners of war."
