At Inst tbo bt'lf proclaimed pa
triot Agninnldo has tested the
torhpor of the Araericnn troops in
tho Pbilippiuo, with tho resuli
that tlio insurgents hnto been
ghou n dtubbing Mint tlioy will
remember for mnny a day. It is
very nntnrnl tbHt Aguiunldo and
his cohortsj should now stnto that
the fight was brought on by the
Americans, but the circumstnnces
attending tbo opening of the but
Mo dourly indicate tbt tbo insnr
gauts had practicnlly set tbe time
for oponing hostilities, evidootly
supposing Mint llioy could handle
Ynnkees in tbo snuio style ns
Spanish forces.
ThiB fight coupled with tbo
ratification of tho peace treaty
makes tbo duty of tlio United
States in tbo Philippines clear.
Tbo insurgents huvo shown thorn
selves thoroughly unreliable, in
capable of nccepting tbe friendly
ofiices of n liberal mmdfd nation
and therefore incapable of being
loft to establish a government of
their own having any of tbo tenets
of modern justice. Tho etroug
power of tho United States is in
the Philippines to stay nnd if the
Filipinos bavo not bpiibc enough
to realize tbe situation or sutliciout
houor to ncoept American libera
lity in the spirit with which it is
oxtendcJ, they will simply be
whipped into lino nnd taught a
lesson on what kind of material
Yankees nro made of.
Whatever responsibility the
United Statos must nsmtnn iu thin
outbreak must rest upon those
who opposed tbe ratification of tbo
Peace Treaty. These men by
haudfenpping tho administintiou
have made it possible for Agui
naldo to onthuso his followers
with tho probability of fighting a
-winning cause. Aguiunldo has
been taught his first lesson. For
his own good health and in tho in
terest of his misguided followers
it is to bo hoped ono losson will
bo sufficient.

She sailed from Yokohama on the
night of February -ltb. She bad

Tho Poking had no repairs made
while in the Oriont. Her dolay

of Peking had n big striplaken

THIS LAST WOI.P.
Oiie of tlie Trmlltlona of Ncolliinil la
1rfarveit In Honolulu.
In St'i tlaml tho honor of slay
ing tho last wolf is contested by
dlan Camorou nnd Clnn Mackin
tosh. A younij scion of the lat
ter clnn in Honolulu, A. St. M
Mackintosh, clinches the claim of
his kinsmen to the honor with tho
information that tbo stuffed pelt
of the monster is still trcneuro.l
amoug the household gods of tbe
present head of the clan in Scot
laud.
Temple Bar gives an nccount of
the Mackintosh achievement. Tup
burning of tho huge primoval
forest of Duthill, about the year
lC-O, caused all tho survivinc
wolves to take reiugo on ono
wooded knoll that somehow es
caped thu geuoral uonilagrntion.
I'hov were thence driven out by
the poople, nil save one very largo
uhunt gray wolf. This brulo os
enped and in fleeing met n woman
with two little childrou. Ho kill
ed the youngsters, nnd the mothor
lied while the monster wns devour
ing his prey.
Mackintosh summoned his
clansmen aud vnssnls to combine
in hunting down tlio murderer.
One upon whom the cbiof special
ly relied was tho only nbseutee.
This wns Mccqueon of Pollock
llnugh, n powerful and gignntio
mnn, said to have been nearly
eeti foet iu height, nnd possessed
of amazing strength aud energy.
titter some delay no apponrou,
considerably disbovaled. Tbe
chief leceived him with words of
reproach as a laggard, whereupon
the stanch, rugged Highlander ad
vanced nud, throwing back hi
nlaid, revealed tbo bleeding head
of tbo grisly bruto, which bo laid
at tho feot of his chief, saying, 'It
would hnvo ill beco'mo Clan Mnck
iutosb that more thnn ono man
should be required to dispatch
ono wolf, nud Mint n bo had
chanced to forgntber with tho
beast on his way. he bad buckled
wi' him nud just dirkit him, aud
syne whittled his craig for fear ho
initrbt come nhvo again.'
No wonder tho Honolulu scion
nforesaid, with this tradition be
hind bun, is 'hot stuff" on the
cricket or football field. Ho
thinks of tbo last wolf and goes in
to win.

It is evidont that the natives
have boen prennrinc tor somo
time for just such an attack ns
us this oue. In furtherance of
their schemo Inst nicht thov cut
tho telegraph wire which for a
time cause no little bother to the
Americans, Most of tho dninago
of this kiud was in the city or in
its immedinto vicinity. Tho Sig
mil Corps wero compelled to work
hnrd to repair tbe cut lines. At
the tiroo of sending this dispatch
the city of Manila is porfeotly
quiot. Among tho seriously
wounded is Lieutenant Charles
Hogan of the First California In
fantry. Serccant William Wnll
of tho samo regiment was also
wounded, but his injury is slight.

ur to dnto nt 2000 dead, ,'ICOO

Now York, February G A spe
cial to tho Sun from Washington
says: On tbe basis of reports of
the casualties so far icceived from
General Otis, tbo War Depart
ment otlicinls Hgreo that tho fight
botween tbo Americnn nnd Fili
pino forces ou Saturday and Sun
day must hnvo been a terrific nf
fair. Two cablegrams received
from General Otis show that in
ten organizations there had beon
thirty seven fatalities, but the offi
cials believe that subsequent re
ports will show a heavier loss of
life, as tho casualty list of somo of
tho regiments known to bavo beau
engaged, notnbly tho First Ne
braska, which, according to the
Sun's account of the battle, lost
several mon, wero not contained
in either ol the dispatches of Gen
eral OMs. Owing to ad error in
punctuation, the list of casualties
made it appenr that the Four
teenth Regular Infantry had lost
heavily iu killed, wheu tho men
nnmed should have beon marked
aB wouuded. This was corrected
later nnd the Wnr Department
then gave out thu following totals
of cnsunltios made up from official
reports:
Officers killed, 3; enlisted mon
killed, 32; enlisted mou missing
nnd possibly dead, 2. Totnhkill

sion of tbo situation in tho Philip
pines nt the regular mooting of

Ain'rlcnna Hold Water Work.
NewYork,Feb 8. A cable to the
Sun from Manila dated 7 says: Tbe
scene about Mnuiln today is a
dreary oue. Prior to Saturday
uigbt there were seven or eight
villages that could be seen from
tbe observatory here, which is the
highest point for miles around.
Today all theso places nro in
ruins. It was fonnd necessary by
the Americans to destroy the vil
lages, as tho Filipiuos wero using
tbem ns places of concealment
from which to lit o on our forces.
Thoro was no renl fight todny.
Reconnoiasanco parties who woio
sent out by tho Americans were in
i uuinbor of cases fired upon by
detached bodies of natives, but tho
shootiug wiib desultory and so far
as is kuown did no damage to our
troops. Tho American forces
wore pretty woll tired out after
their two days' fighting, and today
nre taking much needod rest.
As has been told in tho dis
Eatchos aud mail ndvicos to tho
un, the robols enpturod tho Mn
nila water works, five miles noitb
oast of tho city, some timo before
Gonornl Gaudenos, tho Spanish
commander, capitulntod to the
Americaus. Tho Filipinos hold
them until yesterday, whon the
Americans dooided to tako posses
sion of tbo reservoirs and pump
ing station nnd thus hnvo control
of tho water supply of tho city.
Tho First Nebraska Regiment,
two companies of tho First Colo
rado Regiment nnd n battalion of
First Tennesseo Infantry wore
dispatohed for the purpose. Tho
First Nebraska, which wns in ad
vance of tho other troops, found,
on roaching tho pumping station,
which is on the Mateo river, that
tbo enemy hnd rotrented, but had
attempted to cripplo tbe water
supply by enrryiug off pnrts of tho
mnchiuory that wero nbsolutoly
necessary to work tho plant. A
thorough search was made for the
missing parts, it being known that
tho rebels could not bavo destroy
ed them, nud todny Cdlonol Stot
zouburu of tho Nebrnskn Regi
mont reports tbnt they were dis
covered in the places whore they
hnd been concealed by tbe nntiveH.

Tho bark Roderick Dim arrived
yesterday from Hilo nfter having
dono somo of tbo best sailing
for n boat of her class on record
Tbo trip itself was not quito n
record ono, but tho time from port
to port, twelve days, is the beBt
tbnt has beon made for mnny n
day. Tbo schooner Esther Online,
which arrived yesterday from Ho
nolulu, occupied twenty-three
daj son the trip. Five days after
leaving port tho Roderick Dim

FianciVco. nnd Captain Johnfon

Alns for his hopes, the wind
