Advance en Malalaa.
Manila, April 1. The United State
troop rested last night in tbe jungle
about a mile and a quartet from Ma
loloa. The day'a advanoe began at
o'clock and coveted a distance of about
two and a half miles bwyond the Gal
guinto river along the railoiad.
The brunt of the battle wa on the
right of the tiaok where the enemy wa
apparently concentrated. Tbe first
Nebraska, First South Dakota and
Tenth Pennsylvania regiment encoun
tered the rebel intrenched on the
border of the wood, and the Ameri
can, advanoing acrne the open, of
fered a terrifio fire for half an hour.
Four men of the Nebraska regiment
were killed, and 80 were wounded.
Ten men of the Dakota regiment were
wounded and one ol tbe Peuniy Ivan Ian
w killed, r
Tbe American finally drove the Fili
pino back. Although there were three
line of atrongentrenohmenta along the
track, the enemy made scarcely any
defense there.
General MaoArthur and bl staff
were walking on tbe track abreast of
the line with everything quiet, when
suddenly they received a shower ol bul
lets from sharpshooter, in trees and on
housetops, but these were speedily dis
lodged.
The enemy' loss wa apparently
small, the jungle affording them suoh
protection that tbe Americans were
nnable to see them and In firing were
guided only by the sound of the Fili
pinos' shots. The Amerioan atrlllery
waa handicapped lor the same reason.

ENGLAND OUR FRIEND.
British aad Amarlean. Anting Hand-la-Haad
la Samoa..
Washington. April 1. While publio
regret ia expressed officially by mem
ber of tbe administration at the occur
rence in Samoa, there seems to be an
nndorcurient of opinion among out-
tidert that thi regret ia feigned rather
than real. There can be no doubt but
the administration baa taken every
possible course to secure a more
friendly and Intimate relation with
England: and if tbe two nation can
ba bound together in the Samoan
affair, a they are now acting . to
gether, other difficulties might be set
aside. The better feeling that existed
during and ha continued since the
Spanish war between England and
America is fostered by some official
even to the extent ot surrendering
some of our just rights in tbe disputes
with Canada. There may be a disposi
tion to bring Germany up rather short,
as that ia popular with the people. The
prominence wliicb Uermany assumed
at Manila, and her evident disposition
to prevent the introduction of any kind
of Amerioan produota in the empire
has caused a feeling to grow up among
the people against Germany. What
a few years ago was gratifying to the
Amerioan people, "Twisting tbe lion
tail," can be supplanted by baiting tha
Uermana where opportunity offers.

The Stella left Southampton yester
day conveying the first excursion of the

were about 185 passengers on board and
a crew numbering 26 men. Tbe
weather was foggy. At 4 o'clock Caa
quet rock suddenly loomed op through

immediately afterwards struck amid

waa fast sinking, ordered the lifeboat
launched. Women and children wer
embarked in the boats. Then the cap
tain ordered the men to look after
themselves.
A survivor stated that be and 36
others put off from the steamer in a
small boat Tbe sea was calm, but

Manila, April 8. Aguinaldo's army

ever gone. Tbe rebels will now be

fare from tbe mountaini.
The Amerioan troops are in fine
spirits, in spite of the terrible heat
They are resting today at Malolos, pre
vious to pressing forward.
Tbe details of the capture of the
town are interesting. Tbe Americana
camped all night, and a council of war
waa held by the commanding officers.
It was the general belief that tbe
enemy wat 80,000 atrong, but tbe re
sistance was nominal, and the louses
light Colonel Funston, ol the Kan
sas volunteers, dashed up to the barrl
cade in the principal thoroughfare
with bis men and charged it. yelling,
"Give 'em hell." He was the first to
enter the city. . After the Kansas men
came tbe Montana regiment. These
troops rescued Chinamen about to be
murdered by the rebels, and put out
area set by tne Jfilipmos.
Tbe city is desolate today, but over
it floats Old Glory, and in its streets
are tired but happy American soldiers.
Aguinaldo's palaoe was burned, and
his government is a wreck. His plan
is to Durn everytbing ss he Dies.
Prisoners say that Maloloa citizens
begged tbe insurgenta to aurrender to
tbe Americans, but these were shot by
Aguinaldo's orders.
All the prisoner say that misrepre
sentations were made to them about
the Americans. Papers and orders
found in Maloloa show that the insur
genta had been told that Otb, Hale
and the others were killed, and the
United States troops terribly demoiai-
iied.
Twenty-two Spaniards, picked up by
the army transport Roanoke, off San
Fabian, alter escape from tbe rebels,
say the nativea are suffering from
scarcity of food, and fear the American
warships will shell the coast towns.
Tbe Americana bope to force a de
cisive battle at Calumpit or at a point
not further than that from Malolos.
The American oommissioneis are de
laying their proclamation till the rebels
can be cornered and whipped.

thin the lines, but is insisting on
close inspection, to prevent treachery.
It is believed that the rebels will
make a fight at Mariquina, near Ma
nila, where a clash between Hall's
troops and tha lebela took place the
other day. Thi would please the
American, as it is believed a decisive
battle could be secured. From the re

thing baa been quiet today. Hostili

last 34 houra to an occasional exchange
of shots between the insurgents and
the troops forming the lines of General
Lawton and General Hall, extending
from tbe waterworks to La Lonia. But
this shooting has been just active
enough to make the lives of the sol
diers a burden and to compel the offl- '
cers to sleep in trenches, clothed, and
in readiness to repel possible attacks.

'Two months of rain and fever will ,
save tbe Filipinos their ammunition
