I I VICTORY IS IIIIRS AGAIN Caloocan Is Captured by the Men Of the American Forces 6,000 FILIPIIIOS DEFEATED. F“"31“ Away by Charge of Otis’s Brigade— Dcwey Opened the 'Antack—luonudnock and Concord Helped to Inflict ~Heavy Loss- I‘illpilms Scatterrd Like Sheep. Manila, Feb. 11. ——The American flag was 1aised at 5.30 o clock yesterday at- ternoon over the town of Caloocan, where Aguinaldo was reported to have gathered the flower of the Filipino are my. The Monitor Monadnock and the gunboat Concord began the attack up- on the town at 2.30 o’clock, throwing a. shower of shells which did a great deal of damage. Then the Sixth __ Artillery and the Utah Battery opened fire on the Filipi— no intrenchments, and at four o’clock the-entire brigade, under command of Brigadier General Harrison G. Otis, with the exception of the Tenth Penn- sylvania infantry, which was held in reserve, began to advance in the fol- lowing order from left to right: The Twentieth Kansas Infantry, the First Montana Infantry and the Third Artillery, the Twentieth Kansas and First Montana being supported by the First Idaho infantry and the Third Ar- tillery by the Fourth Cavalry. The insurgents kept up a rattling fire upon our lines, but the American troops advanced through the woods on the left and across an open field on the right without stopping, firing only when they reached‘the enemy’s en- trenchments. In the meantime a company of the First Montana Infantry, under com- mand of Major J. F. Bell', who volun- teered his services, executed a neat right flank movement, arriving at the enemy’s left flank back in the town. Cheering like mad men, the Americans rushed over. the enemy’s trenches, competely routing the Filipinos, who scattered like sheep and fled toward the north. The residence of an Englishman named Higgins was the only house in town that had a fiagstaff. This was borrowed for the occasion and the Stars and Stripes was run up amid tre- mendous cheers. As the Twentieth Kansas and First Montana regiments entered the town from the south they set on fire a. num- ber of huts in which some natives had. concealed themselves for the purpose of firing upon the rear of our troops. The natives fled in a hurry. Our losses were slight, but those of the enemy were heavy, their casualties having been chiefly inflicted by shrap- nel. Lieutenant Colonel Bruce Wallace of the First Montana Infantry is among the wounded Americans. The insurgent forces were massing at Malabon and Caloocan up 'to the time that the battle began. It was reported then that they had six thousand men there, including the famous native reg- iment which in the last revolution de— serted from Manila aften killing their Spanish officers. Ag‘uinaldo himself is at Marilao, sev- en miles north of Manila, endeavoring to reorganize-his shattered army. The Americans Were fully prepared for an attack. There was some skir- mish firing there early in the morn- ing, but no damage'was done. All is quiet to the south of the city. It is believed now that Admiral Dewey threatened to bombard San Roque on Wednesday unless the insur- gents there surrendered the village by nine o’clock on Thursday morning. At 8 o’clock Thursday the white flag was hoisted, and the Fifty-first Iowa In- fantry, upon entering the village short- ly afterward, found it evacuated and on fire. Caloocan is a small town north of Manila and near the shore of the bay. It is outside of the semi-circle of the block houses which the insurgents held until the fight on Sunday, and some of the severest fighting on Sunday was done in the district between Caloocan and Gagalangin, another small town some distance nearer Manila and with- in the 1ine of block houses. The insurgents made a determined stand around Gagalangin, and retired only under the hottest kind of pres- sure by General H. G. Otis’s brigade. Great slaughter was caused among the Filipinos by the terrific .rifie'flre pour- ed upon them by the American troops. When the insurgents icame within range of the no of Dewey’s fleet in Manila. bay, the Concord and the for- mer Spanish gunboat Calico poured a raking fire into the Filipino forces, in- flicting further heavy losses. When the fighting ceased on Sunday the insurgents had been driven back to Caloocan, which was the stronghold of the Filipinos, and the place where it was known that Aguinaldo’s forces would make their last desperate stand. The town was unusually well fortified. General H. G. Otis’s brigade halted on Sunday with their outposts within sight of the Filipino lines. Floating Hospital for Otis.

T as 11 v s N-lN ' THE FRIGIVD WAVE. Great Extent ofTorrltc11y Covered by the Cold Weather. 1 New York, Feb. 11.—Six degrees be- low zero is the record for New York yesterday, attained at 6 a. m. This is, also the low limit, so far as the rec- o1ds of the weather bureau show, since these records began in 1872. It has never been excelled, but this same temperature has been reached three times in twenty-seven years-once be- fore on January 10,1875, and once on December 31,1880. fore, exactly equals the previous low point. The sufferings of the poor were terrible, and several deaths resulted. It has bee fair in all sections of the country exc t along the western gulf section and in the Mismuri valley, where there is rain and snow. An area of remarkable high pressure cov- ers the country east of the Rockies, the highest, 31.10 inches, being in the British NOrthwest Territory. In this region, from the central Mississippi valley to the Atlantic, temperatures range from ten to forty degrees below zero. Low temperatures exist in all states east of the Rocky mountains, except the Gulf (coast and Florida, where the mercury ranges about freez- ing. The line of zero weather runs flirough Norfolk, Va., to Memphis,. Tenn, and west to Denver. In the ex- treme south the weather has moder- ated, but it is only forty-four at Tam- pa. In New York state Buffalo leads with 8. At Albany it was zero. Cold Weather in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 11.—The wea- ther bureau reported yesterday that the temperature fell yesterday morn- ing to the lowest point recorded since the office has been established. The thermometer at 7.30 o’clock registered six degrees below zero, and at ten o’clock standard thermometers in Chestnut street registered five degrees below zero. The bitter cold has given the city the tightest freeze up that it has had in many years. The Schuylkill has a solid thick surface of ice and the De]— aware river, above the city line, is safe for pedestrians to walk across. All the city ice boats are at work keep- ' ing the channel of the Delaware open from the bay 1111. Railroad main line trains are all from one to two hours behind schedule time. There were five fires after midnight in various parts of the city most of them being caused by overheated fiues, due to heavy furnace fires. The lar- gest fire was in Frankford, and terri- ble suffering was reported among the firemen and policemen who were there. The hands of one fireman were fro- zen. Two other firemen and five policemen were frozen so badly that they had to be taken to hospitals. A man in West Philadelphia was frozen to death and a woman was nearly killed by the ex- plosion of a. kitchen water back, caus- ed by the intense cold. Same Story at Omaha. I Omaha, Neb., Fob.

New York, Fob. ILL—Although a can'- «tost between Fitzsimmons and Sharkey is what is most desired by followers of pugilism, and such a. contest is he only one that could decide the champion- ship, sporting men will have to be con- tent for the present with the prospect of a fight between Fitzsimmons and Jim Jeffries, the California pugilist, who once managed to 'get a decision over Sharkey. Tom O”Rourkes reasonable request that Fitzsimmons wait until October to fight Sharkey not being acceded to by Martin Julian, the guide, philoso— pher and friend of the Kangaroo scrap- per, and vaudeville artist, a meeting? took place yesterday between Julian and Billy Delaney, representing Jef- fries. ' The result of the meeting was the signing of articles for a fight to take place some time between April 24 and May 26, before the club offering the largest nurse. The somewhat uncer- tain conditions are that the contest is to be for twenty-five rounds, or to a. finish if it can be so arranged. Should the latter condition prevail it means that the contest cannot take place in this state. It will be a source of much regret if the contest does not take place in the Lenox A. C. in this city, that being the one club in which the mill could be‘pulled off with com fort. .. Japan’s Constitutonial Annivermry.‘ Tokio, Japan, Feb. 11.—The most notable celebration since those which marked the victories of the Chino- Jap anese war, occurs to- day at Kioto Castle, where ten years ago the new empire was instituted and a constitu- tional government announced. All the foreign embassies participato in this celebration and the emperor .om- phasizes the event by granting the people ev'en greater privileges. -‘ 1T0- day the Emperor is a man forty-six years old, in sound health, with good powers of mind, sensible, benevolent and devoted according to his lights, to his people’s welfare. Insulin: Charltv in Havana. _ Havana, Feb.11.——Applicants for re.- tlons here have in many cases been examined by army representatives who are ignorant of the language 61m people; and plenty-of misrepresenta- tions and abuses have resulted, for in- stance, that people have been receiv- ing food who have been at work and who are able-bodied. A new system has therefore been started by Mayor Lacoste, who is ap- pointing citizens to examine the ap- plications and claims, and who will write 'the orders for relief which the army will fill. The citizens, it is thought, are much, better able to determine the merits of such cases. Goon-.11 Anny Increase.

HOURLY VISITING BY NURSES. A System Which Gives Comfort to a Large ‘ Class of People. There are thousands of people who are ill, and yet cannot afford the lux- ury of a trained nurse. Again there are others who do not need the serv- ices of a nurse all day and all night. The first class cannot have them on ac- count of the expense, and consequent- 1y suifer and are ill longer than if they could have only a portion of a nurse’s care. The second class are not ill enough to need the constant presence of a trained nurse. The nurse can now be hired to come in and assist at an operation, to visit the patient at certain hours, dress wounds, bathe or change or otherwise make the-m comfortable in a manner such as a woman trained to such work alone can do. Many sick persons are made very nervous by the presence of an absolute stranger constantly in the room with them, and often prefer to dispense with the services of a trained nurse for that very reason. Undei the new. arrangement such persons can obtai 11 all the benefit necessary by these vis its. The fee charged is graduated vely fairly and comes within the reach of the greater majority of persons. and for each succeeding hour or frat- tion thereof fifty cents—New York Herald. A Good cloning.

A little later on the same day his Majesty, once more in unofliciui costume, was inspecting on foot the pretty things in the shops of the Baden Kursaal rather su«r gestive, as they are, of a section of the Polls Palais Royal. 'l‘wo peasants from the neighboring Black Forest, evidently a young man and his sweetheart, wistfully eyed some little object, timidly asked the pnicc, and on hearing it almost tear- fully turned away. The grand and kind old Kaiser had noted it all. The peasant pair had just reached the exit from the inclosure, when one of the people of the shop came up to them, placed :1 packet in,thsir bands with some such words, murmured low. us, “By the will of tho Kaiser.”—Cliam- bers’ Journal.

Fresh milk in cans cannot be kept longer than forty-eight hours without losing something of its flavor, but it is cl-aim- ~ ed that milk frozen by the new pro- cess may not only be preserved an 111-. definite length of time if kept in an even temperature, but is entirely free from disease germs, as if it had been. boiled.

HOW THE EMPRESS FEES—HER RENT. GaveaEull Length Portrait of Hersclfto the Owner of“ the Plum. IVhile traveling in Spain a number of years ago the writer was enter- tained at dinner in Jerez by an Eng- lishman who was the owner of a: fine hunting estate on the south coast of Spain, where .he uSu-ally spent the summer months. In the spring of 1882 the Austrian Consul called on Mr. D— and said that his mistress. the Em- press Elizabeth. understanding that he proposed spending the season in England, greatly desired to rent his place. Mr. D— said he would not rent his. . place to any file, but he would feel highly honmed if Her Majesty would occupy itfor the summer. When he returned with his family. in the autumn his wife received a note. from the Empress, saying that she would panes through Jeroz. on a. certain 1 day, and dashed to breakfast with ‘V -:l. her. Her - Majesty expressed her in- debtedness for a delightful summer, and urged that she be allowed to make some recompensation for the place, but the oker was gracefully lefused. At length the Empress said: “Is there nothing I can do to show my appreciation of y'oui kindness and courtesy. 9" “Well.” replied Mr. D—, “if on Your Majestys return to Vienna you will send me a small photograph with your autogiaph, I shall be pleased to pos- sess it.” Several months passed without the zippeaiance of the promised portrait. and both Mr. and Mrs. D— rather un- villingly airived at the conclusion that the illustrious lady had entirely forgotten them and her promise, when :1 few 11 ceks lflltl-‘BI an enormous box arriv cd. containing :1 finely framed full- length oil painting of the Empress executed by the Austrian Court paint- er, among the first artists of Europe.~ New York Observer.
