Philippine Army Makes an Assault Upon the American Lines. Insurgents Were Driven Ilsck nt Every l'olnt end Thousands Killed American Lose 168, With but Few Fatalities. Manila, Feb. 7. The long expected rupture between the Americans and tho Filipinos has come at last. The former are now engaged in solving the Philip-pip-e problem with the utmost expedition possible. Tbe clash came at 8:40 Saturday evening, when three daring Filipinos darted past the Nebraska regiment at Santa Mesa, but retired when challenged. They repeated the experi- ment without drawing the sentries' fire, but at the third time Corporal Greely challenged the Filipinos and then fired, killing one of them and wounding another. Almost immediately afterwards the Filipinos' line from Caloocan to Santa Mesa commenced a fusilade, whieh waa in- effectuaL The Nebraska, Montana and North Dakota outposts replied vigorously and held their ground until reinforcements arrived. The Filipinos in the meantime concentrated at three points, Calooncan, Gagalangin and Santa Mesa. At about 1 oclock the Filipinos opened a hot fire from all three places simultaneously. This was supplemented by the fire of two siege guns at Balik-Bali- k and by advancing their skirmishers from Faco and Pandacan. The Americans responded with a -- terrific fire, bnt owing to the darkness they were unable to determine its ef- fect The Utah light artillery finally succeeded in silencing the native battery. The Third artillery also did good work on the extreme left The engagement lasted over an hour. The United States cruisers Charleston and the gunboat Concord, atationed off Malabona, opened fire from their secondary batteries on the Filipinos position at Calooncan and kept it up vigorously. , At 3:45 there was another fusilado along the entire line, and the United States seagoing double turretad monitor Monadnock, opened fire on tbs enemy from off Malate. With daylight the Americana advanced. The California and Washington regiments made a splendid chargs and drove the Filipinos from the works st Paco and Santa Mesa, The Nebraska regiment also distin- gnished itself, capturing several prisoners and one howitzer and a very strong position at the reservoir, which is connected with the waterworks. The Kansas and Dakota regiments compelled the enemy's right flank to retire to Caloocan. There waa intermittent firing at various points all day long. The losses of the Filipinos cannot be estimated at present, but they are known to bs considerable. The American losses are estimated at twenty killed and 125 wounded. The Ygorates, armed with bows and arrows, made a very determined stand in the face of a hot artillery fire, and left many dead on the field. GENERAL OTIS' REPORT.
