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. Last night' long line ot camp area made a beautiful eight, with the Twen tieth Kansas regiment on the left of Guiguinto station, and the Pennsylva nia legimnnt on the fight, beyond the liver.

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. Bombard meat Continn... Berlin, April 1.

Hostili ties elsewhere, so far aa officially re ported, have been limited during tbe 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.
