Closed Permanently.
The curled hair factory at George-
town, which has run off and on for the
past two years, has closed permanently
for the reason, it is stated, that there is
nota sufficient demand for its goods.
The firm claims that this falling off in
orders is caused almost entirely by the
popularity of the bicycle.

THE WATERWOBKS TAKEN
Filipinos Murder I. Captive American Sur-
geon—Native Lou is Growing—2.000
Killed 4,000 Captured and Several
Thousand Wounded.
Manila, Feb. 8.—-The Americans are
taking every advantage of the splen-
did advance which they made on Sun~
day and Monday. Our lines now ex-
tend from two to six miles beyond the
old limits all around and the American
position is secure art every point. The
water works, five miles north of the
city, Were captured late Monday af-
ternoon by the First Nebraska regi-
ment and two companies of the First
Colorado and a battalion of the First
Tennessee infantry. The First Ne-
braska, which was in the advance,
> found the place deserted but the na-
tives had disabled the machinery of
the works before leaving. Parts of
the machinery had been disconnected
and carried away, rendering the re-
maining parts useless. A careful
search was made for the missing pieces
with the result of their being found
some distance away. The work of re-
storing them to their places will occu.
py only a. short time.
The body of Surgeon Harry Young of
the Utah Artillery division, who had
been taken prisoner by the Filipinos,
was found by our men. He had been
murdered by his captors.
The Filipinos seem utterly demoral-
ized. Wherever our troops advance
the insurgents retreat after making a.
slight show of resistance. The drub-
bing which the Americans have given
them has taken all the fight out of
them, and they prefer to keep out of
range of our guns.
The losses of the Filipinos are now
estimated at two thousand killed and
several thousand wounded. Besides,
We hold four Ithousand prisoners. A
scattering fire continues intermittently,
but there is no fighting approaching
the dignity of a. battle.
After 'two days’ fighting the Ameri-
can troops are taking a. much needed
rest. With the exception of the desul-
tor'y firing consequent upon the move-
ments of reconnoitreing parties, there
an: no hostile demonstrations on eith-
er side. In spite of this condition of
affairs the insurgents are steadily los-
ing ground, as every one of their
movements is in the nature of a. re-
treat. ,_
The villages outside the: city are in
ruins, all of the houses having been
burned by our troops to dislodge the
natives who concealed themselves
therein and fired at the American's
flank and rear. Many of the natives
were killed by the Americans, as they
fled from the burning houses, and still
more were wounded.
Perfect order prevails in Ithe city
proper, and matters are fast regaining
their normal condition. The women
who took refuge on board the trans—
ports in the bay when the fighting be.-
gan on Saturday evening have all re-
turned -to their homes.
Many instances of personal heroism
on the part of American staff officers
on the 'firing line are related, and the
splendid organization of the various
departments is praised by everybody.
The efliciency of these departments, it
is admitted on all sides, contributed
greatly to the thoroughness‘of the suc-
cess of the American arms. By order,
of the chief quartermaster, the subor-
dinate quartermasters seized every
available vehicle in rthe city for pur-
poses of transportation and the com-
.missary department promptly furnish-
ed rations in abundance to the troops
at, the front, sparing no effort or ex-
pense.
the grtatcst activity in forwarding am-
munition to the front, and a magnifi-
cent record was mad-e by the medical
department, all of the wounded being
cared for with the utmost dispatch.
The maps of the surrounding coun-
try, which had been made by =the.en.
gineers, proved invaluable. During the
advance of the troops the Signal Corps
constructed telegraph lines as rapidly
plete communication being kept up
between-ail the brigades, divisions and
detached troops and the general head-
quarters.
Aguinaldo has issued a proclamation
suspending the Filipino constitution,
terminating the session of the Malalos
congress and declaring that the hostili-
ties were begun by the Americans. He
took no part in the fighting.
Aguinaldo‘s proclamation of Satur-
day says:
“I order and command:
“First—That peace and friendly rela-
tions with the Americans be broken,
and that the latter be treated as ene—
mies within the limits prescribed by
the laws of war.
“Second—That the Americans capt—
ured be held as prisoners of war.
“Third—That this proclamation be
communicated to the consuls and that
congress order and accord a suspen-
sion of the constitutional guarantee,
resulting from the declaration of war."
Aguinaldo’s second proclamation
says the outbreak of hostilities was
“unjustly and unexpectedly provoked
by the Americans;" refers to his mani-
festo of January 8 publishing the al-
leged grievances of the Filipinos at the:
hands of the army of occupation and
the “constant outrages and taunts
which have been causing -misery to
the Manilians," and refers to the “use—
less conferences" and “contempt
shOWn for the Filipino government,”
as proving a “premeditated transgres-
sion of justice and liberty."
The rebel leader also refers to the
former losses of the Filipinos, but says
“slavery is bitter," and calls upon them
to ”sacrifice all upon the altar of ham
or and national integrity." He insists
that he tried to avoid, as far as possi~
ble, an armed conflict, but claims that
all his efforts“‘were useless before the
unmeasured pride of the American
representatives." whom he charges
with having treated him as a. rebel
. "because I defended the Interest: of
my country and would not become the
instrument of their dummy inten-
the United States.

,Conflict at Dianna Hind Been Expected
by the Administration.
Washington, D. 0., Feb. 7.—Wash-
ington, buried beneath a. foot of snow,
was stirred and excited as it had not
been, since those wrt‘entious days. last
summer when, with the temperature in
the nineties, the president and his cabl-
net waited day and night for news
from the front.
This last battle, which may or may
not be the closing one in the drama
begun when war was declared between
Spain and the United States, was not
unexpected by the president and his
cabinet. They have feared it all along,
and for the past two weeks they had
reason to believe that it would occur
before the vote on the ratification of
the treaty of peace was taken.
The agent of Aguinaldo, whom they
have suspected of keeping the insur-
gent chief informed as to the proper
time to act, has been under close sur-
veillance since January 27, when It was
announced that one of his incendiary
cable dispatches to Agulnaldo had been
intercepted.
The government was so greatly im-
pressed with the information that the
navy department officers cabled it to
Admiral Dewey.
Congressmen began calling at the
executive mansion at an early hour in
the morning, and while it seems to be
the general impression that the Fili-
pinos have been taught so severe a
lesson that they will not be likely to
make further trouble at ziresent, the
administration would be surprised at
nothing. ‘
One fact it does not attempt to con-
ceal—Admiral Dewey and General Otis
both apprehended a conflict and were
prepared to meet it promptly and. de-
feat the rash natives quickly.
These officers knew the condition of
the insurgent troops and how they
were armed. But if they knew who
supplied them with their Mauser rifles
and other effective weapons and wheth-
er or not Germany had a hand in the
work, as the public seems to believe,
they are keeping discreetly quiet on
the subject.
Queen’s Annual Speech.
London, Feb. 7.——The following is a
forecast of the queen's speech deliver—

her majesty’s relations with the for-
eign powers continue to be friendly.

in Egypt, the rescript of the Emperor
of Russia proposing international dis-
armament, and the assassination of
the Empress of Austria. Her majesty
also calls attention to the plague in
India, recommending measures for its
suppression, and to prevent its recru-
descence, and mentions the contribu-
tion of the Cape Colony to the British
fleet. Reference is made to affairs in
the West Indies.
The forthcoming legislation announ-
ced by her majesty will include meas-
ures dealing with the municipal gov--
ernment of London, the establishment
of an Irish agricultural deparment and
amending the usury laws.

which was put aboard.
The News in hIadrid.
Madrid, Feb. 6.--Intense excitement
was caused here by the receipt last
evening of the following official dis—
patch from General Rios, the Spanish
commander in the Philippines:
“The insurgents have vioently at-
tacked and captured almost the whole
of the exterior American line. The
Americans offered a vigorous defence
at the exterior barriers, using their ar-
tillery as well as the squadron.
“The warships destroyed and burn-
ed Calucoan, Paco and several towns
in the neighborhood. Both sides suf-
fered materially. Very sharp firing
continues. The Spanish troops have
been confined to quarters, but a sur-
goen has been wounded by a stray
bullet.
RIOS."
The popular sympathies here are on
the side of Aguinaldo but thinking peo-
ple are anxious regarding the conse-
quences of the fighting, especially on
account of the Spanish prisoners still '
in the hands of the insurgents.
Agoncillo Has Disappeared.
Washington, D. 0., Feb. 6.--One of
the first steps of the administration
upon hearing of the outbreak at Ma-
nila was to give attention to the pres-
ence in Washington of Agoncillo, the
accredited representative here of the
Philippine insurgents. No one could
be found who would say whether or
not any steps had been taken looking
to his expulsion from the United States
or to his arrest, but his status, it can
be announced, has already been the
subject of careful study.
It is possible, however, that their
patience is now exhausted, believing
as they do that he has in some fashion
been connected with this outbreak, and
that they may be aroused to the point
of action. It was said at the state
department plainly that Agoncillo was
either a traitor or a spy. If the Phi-
lippines are regarded as American ter-
ritory, then he is the representative
and active agent of an insurrection
against the United States, and as such
is a traitor. If the Philippines are still
in nominal Spanish possession, then, as
a. state of war still technically exists,
he could be regarded only as a spy.
Agoncillo, it was said a; his hotel,
had left the city last night. Some said
he had gone to Baltimore. No one
seemed to know where he had gone.
Secret. Service Men on Agoncillo’s Track.
Washington, D. 0., Feb. 6.-—It was
reported that an order had been issued
by the president for the immediate ar-
rest of Agoncillo, the head of the Fili-
pino junta. At the \Vhite House and
war department the report was de-
nied. ,
The Secret service officials are keen-
ing the Filipino agent in sight and his
every movement is being watched.
Future of the Philippines.
Hong Kong, Feb. 6.-—J0hn Barrett.
the former United States Minister to
Siam, who is returning to the United
States, delivered an address yesterday
to an audience composed of British
officials, business men, Americans and
Filipinos.
Regarding the Philippines, Mr. Bar-
rett urged the necessity of the United
States forming a semi-independent pro-
tectorate until the ability of the Fili-
pinos to stand alone is demonstrated,
the United States reserving a. strategic
naval base, like Subic Bay, giving her
control of the situation} and strength-
ening her throughout the far East. ’
Mr. Barrett also declared that the
difficulties ahead of the United States
had been grossly exaggerated for the
purpose of defeating the ratification of
the treaty of peace with Spain.
