MALOLOS IS TAKEN Filipinos Fired the City and Retreated. ESCAPE TOVVAED SAN FERNANDO SlacArthur's Division Ordered to Pnsh on to Calumpit May Bo Neeessary to Return to Manila. s Manila, April 1. Malolos is ours. MacArthur took it. He advanoed from Guiginto at 2:30 this morning. A reconnoisanoeup to a mile of Ma lolos showed Bum II bodies of soldiers and 2,000 or 3,000 natives retreating eastward. On the right of the line of the American advance the Nebraska, South Dakota ard Pennsylvania regiments met a resistance from the enemy in the , woods. The rebels fought a short time and then fled. On the left, the Mon tana and Kansas volunteers and the Third artillery had no chance to fight. Orders have been received to go on to Calumpit, six miles beyond Malolos. The movement forward will be slow. There are many rivers, and it is rough country, and resistance is expected. T i Filipinos found resistance fu ' tile'and fled, after attempting to fire the city. Aguinaldo esoaped, and he is flying to San Fernando, 80 miles or bo north. It is impossible to take Aguinaldo, and now the insurrection may last months. The rainy season will set in in two weeks, and the Americans cannot oper ate then. MacArthur will pursue them 20 or SO miles, if tbe Filipinos stick to the lailroad; if not, he must return to Ma nila, where the situation is somewhat critical, owing to tbe presence of a large number of rebels a few miles from the city. Tbe engagement of Hall's troops to' day at Mariquina, which they took, wps encouraging. Lawton can care for the rebels in the citv of Manila with his forces. MacArthur may push on as far as San Fernando, Aguinaldo's new capi tal. The railroad iB in fair shape at ,. far as Quiguinto, and rails have been ordeiel for the six miles between Ma lolos and Calumpit, further north. Advance on Malolos. Manila, April L The United States troops rested last night in the jungle about a mile and a quartei from Ma lolos. The day's advanoo began at 2 o'clock and ooveied a distance of about two and a half miles beyond the Gui guinto river along the railoiad. . The brunt of the battle- was on the right of the track where tbe enemy was apparently concentrated.-" fiThe first Nebraska, First South Dakota and Tenth Pennsylvania regiments encoun tered the rebels intrenohed on the border of tbe woods, and the Ameri cans, advancing acmes the open, suf fered a terrifio fire for hnlf an hour. Four men of the Nebraska regiment were killed, and 30 were wounded. Ten men of the Dakota regiment were wounded and one of the Fennsylvauianl was killed.- The Americans finally drove the Fili pinos back. Although there were three lines of strong entrenohments along the track, the enemy made scarcely any defense there. General MacArthur and his staff were walking on the track abreast of the line witii everything quiet, when suddenly they received a shower of bul lets from sharpshooter in trees and on iiousetops, but these were speedily dis lodged. The enemy's loss was apparently mall, the jungle affording them such protection that the Americans were unable to see them and in firing were guided only by the sound of the Fili pinos' shots. The American atiillery ' was handicapped for the Bame reason. Last night's long line of camp fires made a beautiful sight, with the Twen tieth Kansas regiment on the left of tiuiguinto station, and the Pennsylva " tiia tegimeut on the light, beyond tbe ,s o "provision train was delayed bj broken bridges, but the stores of grain and flocks of ducks in tbe locality fur 's nislied ample forage. The hospital worK is remarkably efficient, as it has been throughout the whole campaign. The telegraphers keep abreast of the line and maintain a constant connec tion with the city. Fell at Manila.

ENGLAND OUR FRIEND. Ill-HUh and American Acting Hand-In-Hand In Samoa. Washington, April 1. While pnblio regret is expressed officially by mem bers of the administration at the occur rence in Samoa, there seems to be an amlercunent of opinion among out siders that this regret is feigned rather than real. There can be no doubt but the administration has taken every possible course to seoure a more friendly and intimate relation with England; and if the two nations can be bound together in tbe Samoan affairs, as they are now acting to gether, other difficulties might be set aside. Tbe better feeling that existed during and has continued since the Spanish war between England and America is fostered by some officials even to the extent of surrendering some of our just rights in the disputes with Canada. There may be a disposi tion to bring Germany up rather short, as that is popular with the people. The prominence which Germany assumed at Manila, and her evident disposition to prevent the introduction of any kind of American products in Hie empire has caused a feeling to grow up among the people against Germany. What a few years ago was gratifying to the American people, "Twisting the liou'l tail," can be supplanted by baiting the Germans where opportunity offers.' Bombardment Continues. Berlin, April 1. A brief dispatch from Apia, Samoa, dated March 81, says: The bombardment of the coast villages by British and American war chips continues. In pursuance of mili tary orders,white residents have evacu ated many bouses. The chiefs ot tbe Maliotao Tanus pa try, who were exiled to the other islands, have been brought baok from Upola. The firearms and ammunition taken from Tanus January 2 have been returned. SERVE THEM RIGHT. Honey for the Cuban Army May Bt ! Brought Baok. Havana, April 1. Governor-General Brooke has almost made up his mind to send the 3,000.000 back to the United States, if the Cuban mili tary assembly does not give up the army rolls. "You may as well do so and nol trifle much longer," said Secretary Alger, when discussing the matter twe days ago in conference with General Brooke and General Gomez. The lat ter said that such, a course would serve the assembly right.. Anyway the impression is spreading that the governor-gneeral may return the money to Washington, and it is Stirring up fresh feeling against the asseni bly,v FOUR WERE DROWNED. Mississippi Kiver Disaster Less Serious Thau First Kepnrted. Memphis, Tenn., April 1. Last night news was received here to the effect that the steamer Rowena Lee, of the Lee line, had foundered near Tyler, Mo., and that all on board were lost save the captain and one officer. As there were supposed to be 50 passen gers on board, there was much excite ment. This morning came definite uews that the steamer foundered yester day near Tyler, and that four persons were drowned. Fish Deputy Fired at. Astoria, April 1. Deputy Fish Com missioner Cathcnrt, while partolling the river near Rainier, found sev eral boats drifting in the sloughs around there, but was unable to arrest any of them, as the fishermen got into too shallow water for the patrol boat He exchanged shots with them, but no one was injured. He took his boat over to Oak Point this morning, where he stayed during the day with tbe inten tion of returning this evening and mak ing another effort to arrest the fisher men and seize their boats and nets. Another Fire at Dawson. Seattle, Wash., April 1. The steam er City of Seattle, which arrived to night from Skagwny, Alaska, bring! news of a 130,000 lire at Dawson, March 9. The fire started from a de fective flue in a barber shop in the Rosenthal building, which was de stroyed, together with the Adcock build ing. William J. Terry, who arrived at Skagway laBt Friday with a bicycle claims to have made the trip from Dawson on his wheel in a little over nine days. Abundant Supplies at Manila. ;Washington, April 1. -The follow ing has been received at the war de partment: "Manila, April 1. Subsistence sup plies are excellent and abundant. Meats deteriorating in this hot climate are sold at pnblio auction at high fig ures. Considerable hard bread has been spoiled. There will be some loss. Supplies in all otbei departments are good. Medioal supplies are abundant. More Territory for Germany. Kiao Chau, via Shanghai, April 1. The ' population of a village near I-Tscho-Fu (I-Chau-Fu) recently at tacked with guns a German officer named Hanneman, a dragoman named Mootz, and a mining engineer named Vorscbulte, who were on a peaceful journey to I-Tsclio-Fu. In the fight which ensued several Chinese were killed and others were wounded, but the Germans finally arrived here safely. Will Test War Revenue Ls. San Francisco, April 1. The restaur ant men of this city have organized for the purpose of testing tbe validity of the war revenue law requiring the placing of a stamp on every bottle of wine sold to patrons. Tbe restaurant men claim the law works a hardship and that the law was not originally made applicable to restaurants. No man can re-gist rattling a little money he bas in his pocket. FOUNDERS IN A FOG bteamer btella wrecKea on the English Coast. THE LOSS OF LIFE REACHES 120 The Vessel Struck the Dreaded Casquet Itooks and Went Down In Ten Minutes. Southampton, April 8. The passen ger steamer Stella, plying between this port and the Channel islands, crashed upon tbe dreaded Casquet rocks, near the island of Alderney, yesterday after noon, in a dense fog, and foundered in 10 minutes. Her boilers exploded with a tremendous report as she went down The coasting steamer Lynx, which brought the news of the disaster here. picked up four boats and 40 persons, It is estimated that 120 persons were drowned. The second officer of the steamer, who was among the rescued, says a col lnpsible boat was launched full of peo ple, but ha thinks it struck on the rocks, owing to the fog. Another steamer has picked up a boat contain Ing 45 persons, Including 20 women who escaped from the wrecked steamer, The Stella left Southampton yester day conveying tbe first excursion of the ' season to the Channel islands. There were about 1S5 passengers on board and a crew numbering 25 men. The weather was foggy. At 4 o'clock Cas quet rock suddenly loomed up through the fog bank, and the steamer almost immediately afterwards struck amid ships. The captain, seeing the steamer J was fast sinking, ordered the lifeboats launched. Women and children were embarked in the boats. Then the cap tain ordered the men to look after themselves. A survivor stated that he and 25 others put off from the steamer in small boat. The sea' was, calm, but there was a big swirl around the rocks, When tills boat was a short distance away from the wreck the boilers of the Stella burst with a terrifio explosion and the vessel disappeared stern fore most in tbe sea. Tbe last thing the survivor saw was the figure of the cap tain of the Stella standing calmly on the bridge and giving his last instruc tions. The survivor referred to said "The suction was so tremendous that we thought our boat would be en gulfed. I saw five boats and the col lapsible boat besides our own leave the wreck. They contained altogether be tween 80 and 100 people. Five of the boats were soon lost to view, but we took a boat filled with women in tow, and the occupants of our boat took oars in turn and rowed all night long until most of us dropped asleep, thoroughly exhausted. We sighted a sailboat at 8 o'clock in the morning, but the steam er Lynx from Weymouth bad mean while hove in sight. She took us all on board. She eventually landed us at Guernsey." - The Great Western Railway Com pany's steamer Vera, from Southamp ton, picked up 40 others of the surviv ors and landed them at Guernsey. Up to noon 112 passongers'have been unaccounted for, Later aocounts say the Stella had 140 passengers on board, and that her orew numbered 43 persons. Another steamer oi the same com pany which arrived at the island of Jersey about noon today repoits having passed many bodies of victims of the disaster ihout the Casquet rocks. A suiviior of the disaster named Bush fijt tbe speed of the Stella in tbe fug was not diminished, though the fog whistles were sounded. Bush adds that at 8:30 P. M. the engineer showed turn in the engine-room a dial register ing a speed of 18, knots. He says the vessel strnok within 25 minutes afterward. Bush further asserts that two lifeboats were sunk with the steamer, wliioh after resting on the rocks for 10 or 15 minutes split in two and disappeared. It is thought possi ble the Partons were the only Ameri cans on board, as the list oi survivors does not contain the names of any other Americans, as far as known. The second mate was the only officer of the Stella who was saved. PLAN AGREED UPON. Joint High Commission the Settle the Samoan Question. Washington, April 8. A joint high commission, to settle the entire Sa moan trouble, has been practically agreed unon by the United States, British and German governments. Lord Salisbury's absenoe from London alone delays the formal acceptance by Great Britain, though in his absence Sir Thomas Sandeison and Mr. Vil liers, who are understood to be special ly familiar with the Samoan question, have approved the plan for a commis sion. The United States has inform ally expressed its approval, and the formal acoeptance, it is learned from the best quarter, will follow speedily. As the proposition emanates from Ger many, her approval, of course, is as sured. This high commission, it is felt, affords a pacific solution to the whole trouble at the moment when Sa moan affairs began to look the most threatening. Spanish Reserves Called Out. London, April 8. Thirty thousand Spanish reserves have been called out, says the Madrid correspondent of the Daily Chronicle.and it is probable that there will be a Carlist uprising. The central council of the National Sound Money League, consisting of the vice-presidents of the league, met in New York city, re-elected tbe officer! of tbe league, listened to reports of officers and exchanged views as to the validity of the silver movement. HIS ARMY BROKEN. Aguinaldo's Men Noattered and His Tower Gone. Manila, April 8. Aguinaldo's armv is broken. There are many deserters and that means that ins power is for ever gone. The rebels will now be come bandits, fighting gueriillu wi,r fare from the mountains. The Amerioan troops are in fin spirits, in spite of the terrible heat. They are resting today at Malolos, pre vious to pressing forward. The details of the capture of the town are interesting. The Americans camped all night, and a council of war was held by the commanding officers. It was the general belief that the enemy was 20,000 strong, but the re sistance was nominal, and the losses light. Colonel Funston, of the Kan sas volunteers, dashed up to the barri cade in the principal thoroughfare with his men and charged it, yelling, "Give 'om bell." lie was the first to enter the city. After the Kansas men oame tbe Montana regiment. These troops rescued Chinamen about to be murdered bv the rebels, and put out fires set by the Filipinos. The city is desolate today, but over it floats Old Glorv, and in its streets are tired but happy American soldiers. Aguinaldo's palaoe was burned, and bis government is a wreck. His plan is to burn everything as he flies. Prisoners suy that Malolos oitizent begged the insurgents to surrender to the Americans, but these were shot by Aguinaldo's orders. All the prisoners say that misrepre sentations were .made to them about the Americans. Papers and orderi found in Malolos show that the insur gents had been told that Otis, Hale and the others were killed, and tin United States troops terribly demoial ized. Twenty-two Spaniards, picked up by the army transport Roanoke, off San Fabian, after escape from the rebels, Bay tbe natives are suffering from scarcity of food, and fear the American warships will shell the coast towns. The Americans hope to foroe a de cisive battle at Calumpit or at a point not further than that from Malolos. - The American commissioners are de laying their proclamation till the rebels can be cornered and whipped. Chinese residents of Malolos were panic-stricken, but were auieted by the Americans. They suy the main army of the rebels retreated to Calura pit, Wednesday, leaving only enough behind to make a show of resistance. BOLD STREET ROBBERY. Baok Containing 1)3,500 Stolen From an Express Messenger. San Francisco, April 8. One of the boldest and most daring robberies in the annals of San Fianoieoo was com mitted yesterday in fiont of Wells, Fargo & Co. 'a express offloe, on Sec ond Btreet, when a sack containing 3, 500 in gold coin was stolen from the seat of an express wairon belonging to Jos. N. H. Waters, while the lat ter was engaged in conversation by a stranger. Waters was carrying the coin from the Anglo-California bank to the ex press office for shipment - to Morris Bros., at Chino, Cal. The person who accosted Waters asked him the lo oation of the Grand hotel. Waters was tying his horse at the time, but gave the desired information. On turning again to his wagon, he saw that the money had been taken. Waters has been engaged in carrying the coin ot the Anglo-California and other .large banking concerns for more than 80 years, and no suspicion at taches to him. THE KINGSTON FIGHT. , Two American Sailors and Eight Na- tlvea Were Killed New York April 8. A dispatch to the Herald from Kingston, Jamaica, says: During the fight between Ameri can sailor sand native boatmen on Tues day, at the wharf, the casualties were: Indiana Two killed (O. Grady and another) and several wounded. Texas James Darcy, oiler, concus sion of the brain, and W. F. K. Mo Mahon, fraotured knee, are going North on the Supply. Three men from the Texas are in the hospital. One named - Green, a water tender, may die from a stab wound; twenty-five other siilors were injured, including four on thl Supply. That ship's whaleboat orev, being stoned by natives, were forctd over board to escape death. Eight natives are reported killed. Tne Newatk arrived this morning. Commission Will Be Named. Washington, April 8. A modus Vivendi for the settlement of the Samoan troubles has been proposed and s now under favorable consideration br the three governments concerned. It contemplates the creation of a joint lgh commission consisting of one member of each country, to pass upon the reoent clash of authority and re sulting disorder. The proposition, it is understood, was put forward by Germny, and is the sec ond one submitted for the settlement of the entire question. Chief Moses Dead. Seattle, April 8. A Post Intelli gencer special from (Jteeton, Wash., says Chief Mobbs, the well-known In- lan, died at his home on the Colville reservation last Saturday. Colonel Anderson Promoted. , Washington, April 8. Colonel Thomas M. Anderson has been ap pointed brigadier-general in tbe regu lar army to succeed Edwin V. Sumner, retired. Tbe Constantinople correspondent of the London Standard says: News has been received from Smyrna that 6,000 Cretan Mussulman refugees, who were in desperate lack ot work and food, in vaded and pillaged the Greek and Turk ish quarters of.thecityj ' I A FILIPINO CREW. sailors on the Monmouthshire, Reoently Arrived In Portland, Are Natives of the Island of Luzon. Something of interest at this parliou lur time is the fuct that the sailors ami coal passers on the Monmouthshire, which has recently arrived in Portland Or., are Filipinos. On shipboard they are known as Manila men, an regarded as good sailois as ever wen before a mast. They are not unlike the Mongolians, and in fact beat much resemblance to them that one not otherwise informed would put them down for queueless sons of the Flowery Kingdom or subjects of the Island Empire. Some of them have been with the steamer for a long time, and understand English fairly well besides being well versed in Spanish They are fully oognizant of the fact that war is now raging between tbei countrymen and the United States, and believe Aguinaldo "undoubtedly a goo man," to use tbe exact words of one of them. Another said it was no telling where the fight will end or -ho will get the upper hand. In speaking of tbe trouble, they are a lituo conservative, which is not at all surprising, con sidering the faot that they are strangers in a strange land and under paiticu larly strange circumstances. Although much like the Mongolians in appear ance the two people differ much 1 habits and general make-up. Ruled by a firm hand, yet not too severe, th Filipinos prove good workmen, alwaya willing to perform their share of the duties assigned them, and in case ol trouble they can always be relied upon to uphold the side of their superior This First Officer Kennedy has learned through years of experience. For Kotseuue Sound. The first vessel to leave for poind north of St. Michaels this year will be the bark Alaska. She wul sail from San Fianoisoo for Golovin bay, Port Clarenoe and Kotzebue sound about May 1, and on her return trip will probably bring , the first authentio news from those poir's. Over 800 void miners wintered on the rivers emptying into Kotzebue sound, but sinoe the return of the Alaska last year not a word has been heaid from them They were well supplied with provi Bions and tbe only anxiety regarding them is in legard to their success or failure in locating deposits of gold. Chief Moses Is Dead. Indian Agent Anderson reports that Motes, head chief of the 2,000 Indian on the Colville reservation, died of Brlgbt'a disease, at bis place near the Nespelin sub-agency. He is nearly 80 years of age, and" comes of fighting stock. ' His father was killed in an In dian war in Montana, and in tbe same war Moses was wounded. He re mained at peaoe during the Nez Peroes war though tempted by Joseph to take to the warpath., .He is wealthy in land and stock, and ' for several years has been drawing an annuity of $1,000 from the government. Beef Market on the Tukon. The' great beef trust which sold meat at Dawson: lor If 1.50 per pound last year Is now almost foijotten ami prices are about as law as they are in the states. The poorest beet sells at 15 cents and the beet at 25 cents per pound to the quarter. One thing that lias forced down the prices Is the order that all beef that is not kept in refrig erators by May 1 will be condemned and must be thrown away. There are no refrigerators at Dawson, and none in course of construction, so that the prices will probably go still lower. The Monmouthshire's Passengers. Japanese immigration to the United States seems to be assuming larger pro portions with the e.-'lval of eaob stearuot. The Fau Sang, which was in Portland a few days ago, brought about half hundred men and women bound for points in California, and now the Monmouthshire oomes in with a lot of another handled, making a total of 150 in less than a month. Only two of the late arrivals were women, and the majority of the men come here to go into the rural distiicts. Agriculture In Alaska. . . Professor Georgeson, of the agricul tural department, accompanied by U H. Rubison and II. D. Ncilson, is on his way to Alaska, where lie will test the agricultural possibilities of that section. Stations will be established at Sitka, Kadiak and Kenai, and grains, grasses and vegetables will be planted. Professor Georgeson Is convinced from the results of his experiments last year that the climate and soil of Alaska are very favorable for agriculture. Iron Works Bold. iteoeiver Newell, of tbe Columbia iron works, of Astoria, Or., lias made a sale of the pioperty to Claude B, Hanthorn, A. Welch and S. T. liar rison, who will continue the business of the company. There were several bidders, including Cawston & Cd., of Portland. To Kxtenri Its Track. George L. Col well, of Ilwaco, says it is a settled fact that the Ilwaco Rail way & Navigation Company will ex tend its track to a point above Chinook, where deep water can be seoured and better steamer connections made with Portland than are now possible. Oregon Supplies the Beef. The lack of rains in California has made meat so scarce and high-priced that beef is now selling there at 8 cents wholesale, as Is also pork selling at a higher price. Much of the supply for Southern California is now received from the ranges of Oregon. Hay is very short and grain bas advanced to (24 per ton. Considerable Kansas and other hay bas been shipped in as' well as many importations from Oregon and Washington by sailing vessels. Mfesavlng Service. ' Considerable interest has been maji fested in Oregon and Washington as regards the luture operations of the) lifesaving service, says a Washington dispatch. Many residents of botls states, learning that a new lighthouser district on the North Pacific was con templated, have written to tbe treas ury department, seeking appointments under the new district. As a matter of fuct, such a district is as yet merely a matter of conjecture, having been suggested several times and recom mended to congress If a new diatiict Is created, it is the opinion of the lighthouse board that it will be by a provision ot the next sundiy civil bill, which, at the earliest cannot pass be fore June or July, 1900. Powder Car Blown Cp. A powder car, belonging to a Great Northern freight train, blew up at Ev erett, Wash., killing one tramp and wounding two others who were riding; in an adioining car. In addition to the powder car, two cars, containing mixed freight, were burned. The in jured men gave their names as Sylves ter Fagau and Charles Flebotte. The name of the dead man was unknown to them. It is thought tbat the oars in which the tramps were tiding was set on fire by them and the heat exploded) the powder car. German Colonists. , Henry C. Nicholi, of Hamburg, Ger many, has arrived in Portland. Ha has come to Oregon as a representative of a colony of 200 or 800 persons who want to come to America. He says it will take a tract of land containing at least 10,000 acres. Tbe colony wilt risk Mr. Mcholi'a judgment, and come as soon as he notifies the members ot having what he wants in the way of lands. PACIFIC COAST TRAOE. , Seattle Markets.
