They repeated the experiment without drawing the sen trios' fire. But the third tim f! ral fii-eely challenged the Filipinos and then fired, killing one of them and Hounding another. Almost immediately afterwards the Filipinos' line, from Caloocan to Santa Mesa, commenced a fusilade which was ineffectual. The Nebraska, Mon tana and North Dakota outposts re-1-hed vigorously, and held their ground 'Vltil. - re';,lforceuients arrived. The Filipinos in the meantine concentrated at three points Caloocan, Gagalangin and Santa Mesa. . At about 1 o'clock the Filipinos opened a hot fire from all threeplaces simultaneously. This waa supple mented by the fire of two siege guns at lialik-Iialik, and by advancing their skirmishers at Faco and Pandacan. The Americans responded with a ter rific fire, but-owing to the darkness they were unable to determine its ef fect.

With daylight, the Americans ad v.ineed. The California and Washing ton regiments made a splendid charge nnd drove the Filipinos from the vil lager of I'aco aud Santa Mesa. The Nebraska regiment also distin guished itself, capturing several pris oners and one howitzer and a "very strong position at the reservoir, which is connected with the waterworks. The Kansas and Dakota regiments j compelled the enemy's right flank to retire to Caloocan. There was inter mittent firing at various points all day long. The losses of the Filipinos cannot be estimated at present, but they are known to be considerable. The American losses are estimated at twenty killed and 125 wounded. The Ygprates, armed with bows aud arrows, made a very determined stand in the fare .of a hot artillery fire and left mauv men dead on the field. Till: NEWS FROM DEWEY.

The news came like a thock, for the administration, though apprised that an ugly situation prevailed in the Philippines, had clung steadily to the hope that by tact and patience actual fighting might be averted. Even those public men who felt that hostilities would follow should the treaty be rati fied and the United states attempt to occupy the islanda rMl!wWt that Aguinaldo would not force the fighting when the treaty of peace was in the most critical stage. The news of- the beginning of an other war came from Admiral Dewey. -No word had been received from Gen eral Otis up to that time. It seema to be Dewey's fortune al ways to be able to report favorable news, and like all of his messases that have gone before this cablegram, told of the success of the American, forcep in te action. The administration learned that the insurgents had forced the issue. It bad hoped all aloncr that they could be brought to see the advantages of plac ing their trust in the American oeo- pie, and relying upon the president to deal justly with them.

RKADY FOR. THE OUTBREAK. While this was true the officers in Manila had not been blind to th threat contained in the situation ther and every preparation has been mad? for just what occurred Saturday night It is now acknowledged that fear of an outbreak in Luzon was the explan ation for the much-commented-ou fail ure of General Miller to force a land ing at TIollo, on the island of Panny: Otis felt that he wanted all of tlv troops at Manila, where was locate' the center of danger.

MP I HQQ MflDC tumi dcdidt I wuiv luuu itiuul urlli aLlUrvlLU. BflBldet the Filipino Kllld, Oyer Thre Thousand Were Wounded And Five Thousand Taken Prisoner. Further advices from Manila state that careful estimates place the Filipino losses up to date at 2,000 dead, 3,500 wounded' and 5,000 taken prisoners. It now develops that fift-.fr,n 1 F were killed in the battles ight- and Sunday and wounded will probably reach 200. Owing to the area embraced in the scene of Sunday's engagement, a semi circle of fully 17 milesdetails regard ing individual fighting have been ex tremely difficult to obtain. So far as can be gathered, the brush commenced at 8:45 o'clock on Saturday evening by the firing of a Nebraska sentry at Santa Mesa upon Filipinos who were deliberately crossing the line, after repeated warnings, with the evident purpose of drawing our fire. lhe nrst shot from the American sentry was evidently accepted as a pre- arranged signal, for it was followed almost immediately by a terrific fnsi- aAa alnnn V. x : 1?

A notable speech was made in the senate Thursday by Mr. Spooner, of Wisconsin. .He took for his text the anti-expansion resolution offered by Mr. "Vest, but did not confine himself closely to that proposed declaration of policy. Mr. Spooner epoke for three hours and through his brilliant oratory, fine ability- as a close and astute reasoner. splendid qualities as an advocate and. adroitness and cleverness at repartee, held the careful attention of an unus ually large number of senators and a large audience in the galleries. At the opening of the session Mr. Chilton, of Texas, presented the cre dentials of Charles. A. Culberson, elected senator from Texas. At the conclusion of the morning business, Mr. Spooner addressed the senate. In beginning, after a brief statement of his reasons for speaking at all, he said: "I find no objections constitutional in nature to ine rauncauou oi tue i i .i . -im--ii -1 ii I pending treat aty. If I held the view that the United states could not with in its constitutional limitation acquire territory otherwise not to be erected into states, I could not give my con sent to the acquisition of the Philip pine islands. This Philippine propo sition is one of the fruits of the war to me one of the bitter fruits. I can conceive of no circumstances under which I could give my consent to the admission of that archipelago as a state, or as more than one state, of the American union." Mr. Tillman, interrupting Mr. Spooner, inquired: "If we accept the Philippines, would the inhabitants of that territory have the right to come without hindrance to this country? . 'Tes. For the purpose of my argu ment I am disposed to admit it, re plied Mr. Spooner. Mr. Tillman inquired whether ine inhabitants of a territory could b prevented from entering the states. 2it. D POO II til BH1U tun ocuawi uu Connecticut (Piatt) was inclined to believe they could be, but he himself doubted it. Mr. Tillman further along pressed 1 his Question as to the right of the Fil I ipinos to come here, and declared that hv admitting them by treaty ten mil- I Hon ceoole of that territory could take J the first ship for thia country, and I upon arrival here could enter in com- I netition with American labor. That tol.. the reason why he would vote against the treaty. ANOTHER TRANSPORT SAILS. TnuimLuTi Savannan, ua., Knroute to Matantaa. Cuba. .

He re plied particularly to Mr. Walcott'a speech of Saturday, saying that it waa such an attack as he did not expect. He raid he believed that the battle of Manila was but the beginning; and if the treaty was ratified war would fol low for years, costing lives and mil lions upon niillions of money. Mr. Gorman referred to what had been done with China regarding the emieration to those islands and sard now eight years later we lane lsiauus, "... . . i . i i 3 - which will be but astepping stone for the Chinese to the United State. He predicted that within four years the people would resent the action. He said that in connection with the Phil ippines it was proposed to increase, the army to $100,000. He protested against it. What a spectacle it has been, said Mr. Gorman, to see the president of the United Sttftes, kindly, gentle and partisan, as be is in his swing through the south giving expression to the sentiment to t e Confederate dead which was so grand, and then asking for 100,000 men to keep the descend ants in subjection. At the conclusion of Mr. Gorman's speech Mr. Davis moved an executive session. Wolcott wanted five minutes to re ply to Mr. Gorman, but Davis would not yield, and at 2:05 the senate went into executive session for final consid eration of the peace treaty. In the open senate Mr.. McEnery offered a resolution declaring that by ratification of the treaty it is not. in tended to make citizens of the inhab itants of the Philippines nor to annex the islands permauenly, but to hold them until the islands are prepared for self-government. At 3:40 p. m. the bells for a vote on sn amendment to the-ireaty were rung. The amendment was to make the I Philippine portion like that relating to Cuba, and was defeated. The vote on the treaty was then taken, the senate being in executive session, and the compact ratified.
