The signature for the reaction of high energy νe (νe) in the AMANDA detector are isolated cascades. Compared to νµ-induced muons, energy resolution for ν-induced cascades is better. Also, when searching for extraterrestrial high energy neutrinos, the background from atmopheric neutrinos is lower. Data taken in 1997 with the AMANDA-B10 detector were searched for events with a cascade-like signature. The observed events are consistent with expected background from atmospheric neutrinos and catastrophic energy losses from atmospheric muons. A limit is set on the diffuse flux of νe + νe assuming an E-2 source spectrum.
