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.

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.

Honey for the Cuban Army May Bt

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

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.

the purpose of testing tbe validity of
the war revenue law requiring the
placing of a stamp on every bottle of

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.

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

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

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
