MANILA, Monday, Feb. 6-9 A. M. -The Filipinos have spparently reached the conclusion that the Americans mean business, as there were no further hostilities last night, and no attempt was made to recover the lost ground. It is possible, however, that they are following the tactics they employed against the Spaniards and will merely lie off a few days to recuperate their forces before returning to the attack.

It is impossible to ascertain as yet how the news has been received at Malolos, the seat of the insurgent government; but the Filipinos in Manila express the opinion that the movement for independence has received its death blow and that annexation will soon be welcomed generally. ALL DAILY WEEKLY PAR UPON COUNCIL VOL. XXXVII-NO. 102. BLOODY Filipinos' loss is reported as up into the thousands.

Facts About the Fighting. Battle began at 8:45 Saturday evening; fighting all night long. The 1st Nebraska, Montana and North Dakota Regiments first engaged. Reinforcements were sent by Otis. Dewey's ships, the Charleston, Concord and Callao, swept the rebel position at Calaccan and drove the Filipinos out.

Sunday morning the Americans advanced, swept through the Filipinos' lines, captured the villages of San Juan del Monte, Santa Ana, San Pedro, Macati, Santa Mesa and Lomia. Firing stopped at noon Sunday, the insurgents seeming to be demoralized. It was a veritable slaughter for Aguinaldo's forces, the Americans being fully prepared for the fight. Attempts to assassinate Americans in Manila failed. The city is reported to be held in perfect order by Gen.

DEWEY'S THREAT TO AGUINALDO. Would Reduce Manila to Mortar and Stone if the Insurgents Got Into the City. (By Associated Press.) HONG KONG, Feb. following dispatch was received here from Manila before the outbreak there occurred: Rear Admiral Dewey, in an interview, said the Monadnock is guarding one end of the city, the Monterey the other, and the army protects the rear. He added that he had sent word to Aguinaldo that if, accidentally, the insurgents entered Manila, he would reduce it to mortar and stone.

The insurgents are an armed mob, the dispatch adds, incapable of goverment, and are angry with Admiral Dewey for seizing vessels flying Filipino flags. The Admiral, the correspondent says, is not favorable to annexation, but believes in the gradual withdrawal of the United States troops. He also says the United States is morally bound to establish a stable government in the Philippines. SLAUGHTER OF THE FILIPINOS, Thousands of Them Killed, Many Lost in the Pasig River--London Paper's Story of Battle. (By Associated Press.) LONDON, Reb.

Morning Post's Manila correspondent cables: "Last night (Saturday) and today's (Sunday) engagements have proved a veritable slaughter of the Filipinos, their killed being reported as amounting to thousands. The American forces could have been better disposed. It is now known that the attack was fully expected and that every preparation had been made to meet the enemy. "Firing slackened at noon (Sunday), the enemy being apparently demoralized. The American troops, however, are fully equipped to meet a possible attack tonight.

"Aguinaldo's private secretary has been arrested as a spy in Manila. Perfect quiet now reigns in the city, More than a hundred wounded Filipinos taken from the trenches are being cared for in the American hospitals." The immediate cause of the attack was an advance by two Filipinos to the Nebraska outpost on the northeast of the city. When ordered to halt they refused, and the sentry fired. An insurgent signal gun was then fired from blockhouse 7 and an attack was immediately begun on the Nebraska regiment, which was encamped. The fighting soon spread on both sides until firing was in progress on all the outposts around the city.

The American troops responded vigorously, the insurgent fire being heavy and the attack evidently hurriedly planned. Firing continued throughout the night, with an occasional cessation of from half an hour to an hour at a time. At daybreak the warships Charleston and Callao began shelling the north side of the city. Their fire was followed later by that of the Monadnock on the southern side, the insurgent positions having been previously accurately located. The wounded on the American side are now estimated at 200.

Few Americans were killed. The Americans began a vigorous advance all along the line this morning (Sunday), and were soon pressins back the insurgents in every direction, maintaining steadily their advanced a position and capturing the villages of San Juan del Monte, Santa Ana, San Pe dre, Macati, Santa Mesa and Lomia, The splendid police system prevented POLICE SCATTER MOB OF WOMEN.

Friends and acquaintances respectfully Invited to attend. Father Martinelli Threatened by a Big Crowd of Sicilians This Morning, They Had Declared He Never Would Say Mass in That Church Again. ASKED FOR HIS REMOVAL. Delegation Requested Bishop Quigley to Appoint Father Koske, Which He Firmly Declined to Do. Fr.

Martinelli's Statement. This morning a squad of police from the Franklin Street Station were called out to protect Father Martinelli, priest at the Italian Church of St. Anthony of Padua, at Court and Morgan streets, from the violence of several hundred men and women, whose presence indicated that a serious outbreak might occur when he emerged from his house to enter the church. Between 3000 and 4000 members of the church are Italians and about 600 are Sicilians. When the church was erected, about six years ago, Father Martinelli was appointed to the pastorate, and has officiated since then.

Apparently affairs in the church ran along harmoniously until last Tuesday, Rev. Father Koske, a Sicilian priest from Scranton, came to Buffalo, Father Koske is a relative of Mrs. Maggio of Genesee street, who has been working industriously since her relative's arrival to have him replace Father Martinelli. During the latter part of last week a number of friends visited Bishop Quigley and him nesked to transfer Father Martinelli to another place and give the pastorate of St. Anthony of Padua to Father Koske.

The Bishop firmly declined. Mrs. Maggio. and her friends declared that cilian would be installed as pastor, whether the Bishop wished it or not. Father Martinelli celebrates mass in the church at 8 o'clock every morning.

Shortly after 7 o'clock this morning a large number of Sicilian women gathered in front of the church, apparently bent on trouble. A friend of Father Martinelli sent word to the Franklin Street Police Station, and Capt. Taylor assigned Patrolman Reardon to make an investigation. Reardon found the women were too many for him to disperse alone, and he telephoned for assistance. Sergt.

Ryan and Patrolmen Fitzgerald and Curtiss started on the double quick for the church. They ordered the women to disperse, but they stood their ground. Mrs. Maggio, who appeared to be the ringleader, stationed herself against the front door on Court street, and said Father Martinelli would never be permitted to enter the church. Sergt.

Ryan and his three officers forced themselves through the crowd, reached Mrs. Maggio and told her they would take her to the station house if she did not depart. The woman reluctantly left her post and stationed herself on the sidewalk. Father Martinelli, accompanied by Giovanni Banchetti, the Italian Consul, reached the church at 7:45 o'clock. As the priest made his appearance the woman became much excited, hurling epithets at him and shouting that he wasn't wanted as pastor and would better leave Buffalo.

The priest tried to quiet them and then walked calmly into the church. The women saw that they had been foiled and, after a time, departed for their homes. By 8 o'clock the church was nearly filled with Italian women. Father Martinelli celebrated mass, and there was no disturbance of any kind during the ceremony. FR.

MARTINELLI'S STATEMENT. Father Martinelli was seen by a NEWS reporter after the mass and seemed to regard the trouble as a joke. "I don't know why the Sicilians wish to have another priest to take my said he. "I have been in charge of the church for the past six years, and the church has been successful. 1.

Last Tuesday Father Koske of Scranton came to Buffalo. He is a relative of a Sicilian woman and he is at the bottom of this whole trouble. A number of her friends called on Bishop Quigley and requested him to appoint Father Koske in my place. The Bishop told them I was satisfactory and that I would stay. This morning when I went to the church a lot of Sicillan women had gathered outside.

and they told me I wasn't wanted. called them crazy, entered the church and said mass. I am at a loss to understand why the Sicilians don't wish to have me as their pastor. I have always treated them well and have shown no partiality of any kind." Consul Banchetti said the trouble would all disappear in a few days. He said Father Martinelli has the best interests of the Italians and Sicilians at heart, and that no better priest in the country could be found for the pastorate.

It is said that Father Koske is still in town, and intends to remain until he. learns definitely whether there is a chance of his being made priest of the church. MISSION WORK IN AFRICA. An address will be given tonight in the Assembly Hall, 111 Elmwood avenue, by Mr. Charles A.

10, were 21,649 troops, and of these there were present for duty 19,516 men. A portion of that force, the 18th at fantry Iloilo, and where a battery Gen. of Miller artillery, was sent are a month or more ago. About 6000 men are on their way to join Gen. Otis in four separate expeditions.

Dewey has, with the vessels now on the way, 21 ships of various types. Of full warships he now has nine, as' follows: The Olympia, Boston, Baltimore, Charleston, Concord, Monadnock, Monterey, Petrel and the Buffalo. He also has three armed supply ships, the Culgia, the Hanshan and the Zafro. The vessels on the way to join Dewey are the gunboat Helena, now at Colombo, the Castine at Gibraltar, the Princeton, due at Port Sald on Tuesday; the Bennington, the Brutus and the Yorktown, probably at Guam on their way to Manila; the ship Oregon and the waterboat Iris, at Honolulu.

The major is one of the Army's most Facleaders, (New York Herald Special.) WASHINTON, Feb. will be sent to Otis today directing him to follow up his victory over the insurgents and to crush the power of Aguinaldo in the Philippines.

This was the decision reached at an important Cabinet meeting held in the White House last night, attended by the President, Secretary Hay, Secretary Alger, Attorney General Griggs and Corbin. It was further decided, now that Aguinaldo has thrown down the gauntlet, that Iloilo shall be taken and the Islands of the Archipelago occupied as rap idly as possible, and to the extent that Gen. Otis' forces will permit. The victory won at Manila was the cause of sincere congratulations in the executive mansion, and the President expressed himself as delighted with the heroic performance of our officers and men. President McKinley greatly deprecated the action of the insurgents in precipitating a conflict.

It had been his hope that when they understood the beneficent purposes of the Washington Government they would willingly consent to the extension of American sovereignty over their homes. It was pointed out tonight that Aguinaldo and his followers have placed themselves within that provision of the President's proclamation declaring it being the purpose of our Government to hold to strict accountability those responsible for the disturbance of the peace and order of the island, or who fail to recognize the supremacy of the United States. It was with a full knowledge, therefore, of the action which this Government would take that Aguinaldo directed an assault on the American lines, and the authorities say he will now suffer the punishment his treachery deserves. WORK TO BE DONE AT ALBANY OUTLINED. Strong Committee Goes to Albany Tonight to Urge An Appropriation for a State Building and Exhibit.

The bill providing for the State's share in the Pan-American Exposition has been drawn and will be taken to Albany tonight. It provides for a State building and exhibit, the nature of which is not stated. The bill was drafted by William B. Hoyt, J. Henry Metcalf, John G.

Milburn and Robert F. Schelling. It will be read over at a conference before it is sent to Albany in order to make final changes if any are found necessary. The committee to take the bill to Albany has been announced by Mayor Diehl. The Mayor will be the chairman and the other members' names are William B.

Hoyt, John Cunneen, George Urban, John R. Hazel, Frank L. Bapst, W. C. Warren, R.

R. Hefford, D. H. McMillan, Sherman S. Rogers, George Clinton, Charles W.

Goodyear, J. H. Metcalf, John J. Kennedy and John N. Scatcherd.

It is planned that the committee shall leave at 11:40 o'clock tonight. Tomorrow morning a conference will be held in Albany with Gov. Roosevelt, Woodruff and the majority and minority leaders in the Senate and Asesmbly. The measure will be read to them and they will be called upon to make suggestions of modifications and changes which they think desirable. The committee knows what amount it is desired that the State shall appropriate, and the date and form of the payment, but these questions will not be finally settled until after the conference at Albany, since it is desired that 88 harmonious conditions as possible shall be secured beforehand, so that there may be the least friction possible when the bill once gets started on its course through the Legislature.

It is the intention of the committee to remain in Albany until after the bill has been introduced, and an early date for a hearing has been set. When the hearing comes off a big delegation of Buttalo people will be on hand to give the reasons why the bill should be enacted into law. A glance at the personnel of the committee appointed to take the bill to Albany will show that the men intrusted with this work have been wisel yselected.

It is a committee which is capable of reaching evde ery Important element of Influence in the Legislature. This morning the third week of earnest, active, intelligent effort in raising subscriptions was begun at headquarters, 212 Elliott Square. A total of $300,000 was raised last week, and a hard effort to equal this splendid showing will be made this week. There are many indications which make the outlook a hopeful one.

During the next six days the committee will begin to hear from the non-resident property-owners, to whom a letter has been sent Inviting them to subscribe for a project which will be for the public good and their own. Returns will also begin to arrive from the small cities and large towns in this locality where subscription papers are in eirculation. Over 100 leading Italian citizens met at 167 Court street yesterday afternoon to consider the subject of subscriptions to the Pan-American stock. The conditions of subscription were full explained and then blanks were handed out for circulation among the members of the city's large Italian colony. To show that they were willing to do what they were about to ask the rest to do, those present signed the lists for stock subscriptions.

The report, it is expected, will be made at the close of next week and it is expected that the Itlaians will make a creditable showing. The Nurses' Association will meet at the Chapter House at 3 o'clock this afternoon to discuss Pan-American subscrip. tions. Other organizations and other individuals are making plans which will produce regults later on. There Is plenty of life yet remaining in the subscription project.
