The long-expected rup ture between the Americans and the Filipinos has come at last. The former are now engaged in solving the Philir.nine oroblem with the utmost exDedition possible. The clash came at 8:40 yesterday evening, when three darin? Filioiro darted past the Nehriuka. regiment's pickets it Santa Met. but retired when challenged Thev repeated the experiment without drawing the sentrv's fire. But the third time Corporal Oreely challenged the Filipinos and then fired, killing one of them and wounding another Almost immediately afterwards the Filipinos line, from Calvocan to Santa Mesa, commenced a fusillade which was ineffectual. The Net raska, Mon tana and Notth Dakota outpo6ts renlied visrorouslv and held their ground nn'il reinforcements arrive?. The Filipinos in the meantime eoicentrsted at three points, Cahocan, Uagalbngin and Santa Mesa At about 1 o'clock tbe Filipinos opened a hot fire from all three .laces simulranecn-dr . This was supplement at by the fi-e of two siege guns at Balik Balik and by advaccirg their skirmishers at Pacoacd Pandacan. The Americans responded with a terrific fire, but owing to the darkness they were unable to determine its t tract. The Utah L:ght Artillery finally succeeded in silencing the native battery. The Third Artillery also did good work on the extreme Ictt. l n engagement lasted over an hour. The United States exuiser Charleston and the gunboat Concord. stationed off MalaVna, opened fire from their recondary b tteries on the Filipiuot, position at Calvocan, and kept it up vigorously. At 2:4," there was another fusil ad e along the entire line, and the United S ates double turret monitor Monadnock opened fire on the enemy from off Malate. With daylight the Americans advanced. The California and Washirgton regiments made a splendid charge and drove the Filipinos from the villages cf Paoand Santa Mesa. The Nebraska regiment also distineuisbtd itself, capturing several prisoners and one howitzer and a very strong positron at the reservoir. which is connected with tbe water works. The Kansat and Dakota regi ments compelled the enemy's right flnk to retire to Calvocan. There was intermittent firing at vaiious points all day long. The losses of the Filipinos can not be estimated at present, but they are known to be considerable. The Ameri can losses are estimated at twenty men killed and 12o wounded. Tbe Igor ates. armed with rows and arrows. made a very determined stand in tbe face of a hot artillery fire, and left many men dead on the field. Several attempts were made in this city yesterday evening to assassinate Ameriesn officers. Manila, Philippine Islands, Ftb ruary 6. 9 a. m.

Washington author ties bad prohibited communication by him with Manila, therefore he had come to Moatreal. Ha says he did not expect such a crisis. In fact he thought the sitaation was getting better. When ha hears from Aguinaldo he expects to go back to Washington to fulfill his mission. He says tin Filipinos were goaded into the fiht by Otis, who searched private houses and did other exasperating things. what ixjndon papers sat. London, England, February G The afternoon papers agree that the Filipinos have made a fatal error. They are convinced that the Ameri cana will not allow the trouble to in fluence their, policy. The Pall Mall merry men nave not displayed ciear conception of Amer.can character. We take it for grnted there will be no looking back now until America has plowed the Philippine furrow right through, although the job is likely to be troublesome and long." The Ulobe says: "America's mistake bas bern in attenuating to perform a big j5b with little meats. It may be safely assumed that the United bratea will now place such an overpowering force in the field as to beat down all opposi tion." : OTIS' CASUALTY LIST. .

Not much importance is attained to Agon cillo's ti ght to Montreal.

It is a native of eylon and India. Kitto tells us that it is "precious and ap propriate to religious use. It is much valued., and was the first spice sought after or procured in all oriental voy ages, ancient or modern." The Kgyptians and Itomans held it in high esteem. Herodotus assures tis that a species of cinnamon was taken from tbe nests of birds, and also found sticking like lime to the Wards of goats. This substance was gathered. compounded ami used as ointments and salves. The south of France Is the flower garden of Europe.
