EBERHART, OUR MOTTO:—Same Price Samo Day to Everyone. Admiral Dewev also took a hand in the game and poured shot and shell into the right and left flanks of the enemy from his gunboats. The native troops were well armed with Mauser and Remington rifles, with the exceptions of about 700 Ygrounds, who fought the artillery with bows and arrows and were mowed down like wheat before the reaper. The American loss is given as 56 killed and 200 wounded, while the insurgents are reported to have lost 2,000 killed, 3,- 500 wounded, and 5,000 prisoners. There were 13,000 Americans and 20,- 000 Filipinos engaged The utter fearlessness of the American slodiers was never better demonstrated than in this engagement. They appeared to find delight in battle, and every man was glad to get into action. The General commanding the American troops is also worthy of high praise for the manner in which he has dealt with the situation. The forces could scarcely have been better disposed to repel any attack that might have been made by the Filipinos. Many thrilling incidents occured during the battle. After it was over dead Filipinos were found in great numbers, and were buried by the Americans. The wounded were taken to the hospitals. "The fighting was not the reault of any aggreaaion on the part of the Americana, but waa precipitated by the action of two native soldiers who refused to obey the order of a sentry who challenged their paaaage of hia poet. These two natives advanced to the outpost of the First Nebraaka Regiment, who are stationed to the northeast of Manilla. Aa they approached the aentry the latter ordered them to halt. They insolently refused to do so and continued to advance. The aentry again called upon them to halt, and, as they paid no attention to hla order, he leveled hia rifle and fired upon them. The action of the natives leads to the suppoaition that their refusal to obey the aentry was part of a preconcerted plan. No sooner had the sentry fired than the Filipino* who were occupying blockhouse No. 7 fired a gun, which was evidently a signal for an attack to be made on the Americana. The Nebraska regiment waa encamped in the vicinity of the outpost where the shooting occurred, and it waa upon thia regiment that the first attack waa made. Immediately after the firing of the signal gun the Filipinos moved against the Nebraakans, but they were not prepared for the reception they got. They thought that they would take the Americana by surprise, but in this thev were grievously disappointed, finding that the Americans were ready for any contingency. The fighting spread on both sidea until there waa extend ve firing going on at all the outpoata. Onr troops, who had been expecting trouble, were glad to have an opportunity to equate accounta with the natlvea, whose insolence of late was becoming Intolerable. They responded with alacrity and vigor to the fire of the l-'ilipinos, which was heavy. The enemy occupied the trenches that they had been digging for ««ne time past in plain view of the Americans, much to the disgust of the latter. Cablegrams from Manila give details of a tierce battle between the Filipinos and Ameiican troops, which took place on Februrary 5th and 6th. We take the fol - lowing from the New York Sun's special cable despatch: News and Personal Notes From the Town of Katlroads.

The ratification of the treaty by the Senate placet the President in a poaition to justify him in preaaing the war against Aguinaldo with tireleaa energy.

Order cannot be reatored to the Phillppines by negotiationa with Aguinaldo. He ia incapable of folfillng hU obligationa and haa placed himself outside the pale of civilized warfare.

If the defeat suffered by Aguinaldo a few daya ago ahall force him to meet onr army from day today, in leae than thirty daya he would be praictically without an army to command.—Phila- Thnea. Aguinaldo has in turn played the role of J n<las to the insurgents, to the Spanish and to the Aniericaus, but the one thing that he has not learned is that fighting a Spanish army and fighting an American army are entirely different ventures. He attempted to surprise and rout our army at Manila, resultihg in a loss of some aoo Americana killed and wounded, and a loaa of more than ten times aa many of hii deluded followers.
