The American forces advanced from Meyoauayaii, the brigade commanded by General Otis being on the left of the rail road, and General Hale's on the right. They eventually discerned white roof and iteeples among the green trees be. yond tbe river, looking not unlike a Massachusetts village. The rebels had the unfordable river In front of them and poured In fire o effectively that It showed they were veterans, probably members of the native militia, which the Spaniards organised. The American artillery put a dramatic end to the battle. Approaching under cov er of the bushes to about GO yards from the trenches, the artillery emerged upon an open space commanding the town.

The rising of the hill tribe was of no political significance. The committee of natives, with Colonel !

The natives! i desire the Immediate Introduction of the English system of education. A gentleman who has had excellent opportunities for studying the political situation, advocates a separate govern- ment for each of the islands, with a rep - resentatlve assembly at Manila for gen- eral control, under the supervision of art American governor general, who shall be free from Interference from Washing ton, except In regard to international qtieMlon.

BATTLE EXPECTED THERE Believed fcy the Officials In Wait- Injton Tbat tbe Rebels Will Make a Desperate Stand. OTIS' PLANS UNSUCCESSFUL laskal of Coraerlof the Filipinos the Campaifa Has Become a Chase -Llae-op of Troops. WASHINGTON. March r.-Th tblrd day of the fighting north of Manila brought little of a decisive character from which the war department oOcial couid Judge what the final outcome of this movement would be. In all official quarter the moot tntenae InUsreat prevails, but there was no ex citement and none of tbat anxiety and tension shown during the memorable ,day or last ummer, wnen oecuive jblows were being struck at BanOiro. I Early In the day General Otis cabled the i aua 4rwk rtmi.nl ritff Kllf VTTnrh T1 - wu uum "uvu ea slve d.p.tch .umm.ng up the situation. It d.scloed that vere Sghtlnc wa. go.

The Insurgent retreat toward Malalos was slow and dogged, and advantage was taken of one after another of the LUne of entrenchments, the burning cf luridges and the Interruption of communi- cations. General Otis' dispatch summed jup the work of three days. That the fight ing1 would proceed Into the fourth day was shown by his closing sentence: "The column will press on In the morn. Ing." 'this refers to Tuesday. Tne engage ment has now shaped Itself so that It is looked upon a more of a chase than the execution or a strategic movement. v tin the American base advanced to Mariloa, and the insurgent base forced back to Malolos. the main bodies of the two op- peeing forces are about 10 or U miles apart. Thhs could be quickly covered in a forced march under fair conditions, but it is 12 mites of innumerable difficulties and obstacles, which our troops must jcov" oeiore tney rwcu u.e si I . . v . 1 , .ir"s It Is expected that every mile or tne distance to Malolos will be contested by the Insurgents, for General Otis reports that it Is a stretch of country covered with Intrenchments thrown up during the last three months. Malolos Is the Insur. Kent capital and represents more to the Insurgents than any other place In the mlt light draught boats to get within a mile or two. I The belief Is expressed at the war de. .partmcnt that the Filipinos are msinufac- luring the ammunition that Is being used .with such recklessness. When General Green was In the Philippines he went to .Filipino camps and remained some time. His report to the president shows that the Filipinos had established a factory for the manufacture of ammunition for these rifles, and this factory probably Is still in operation and furnishing a suf ficient supply to the insurgents. The following cablegram was received by the war department on March 19, and has Just been made public. "Manila, March is. Adjutant General, Washington Have purchased all the gunboats in the Philippines of Spain IS in number, now at Zamboanga. Half are in a serviceable condition.

SALE OF BUTTER AND CHEESE IN THE ORIENT, Under Favorable Treaty Regulations Oriental Trade In Farm Products May Become Immense. WASHINGTON. March 27.-Th ex periments of the secretary of agriculture In selling American butter In England1 have been so satisfactory that Secretary' .Wilson recently secured a report from an agent of the government of Japan on the prospect or tne nutter market tnere This agent reports that under favorable treaty regulations Japan will Import from the United State nearly all her butter and cheese. i lie say tne nuiier ana cneese maraec will be of comparatively slow growth In Japan, but will ateadlly improve If prop, erly fostered. He report that only the best butter should be sent to Japan, and K should be cent In small air tight pack ages bearing the official government In. snection stamp on the outside. These packages should be shipped only on 8teamers having cold storage facilities an)j should be kept In cold storage uretll p;aced upon the market at retail. Cheese res;g upon a different basis and can largely be left to the ordinary course of trade. The conditions of the butter and cheese market In Shanghai and Hong Kong. China, are almost Identical with those of Japan, except that at Hong Kong Australian butter Is the strong compel. Itor Dy reason of low freight rates. In the Interior of China considerable French butter Is sold. Many claim that it resists heat better than the -American product The same geneval suggestions for the improvement of trade in Japan are ap. piicable to China. . . MAYOR MASON'S FUNERAL, .
