New Yobs:, April 12.-A dispatch to
the World from Manila says: While it
is pro-able that there is an end to the
big engagements in the Philippines be
tween the Americans and the Filipinos,
the war Is not at an end by any means.
It is the universal opinion among army
men here that it will require the pres
ence of 50,090 American troops to occu
py the territory that has been taken and
keep open communication among the
islands.
General Lawton's advance promises
to meet with a harrassing resistance.
Trenches are built by the enemv from
town to town. Ou all sides the rebels
are in nightly communication by means
of signal fires. They avoid being caught
in a trap and are quick to harass the
flank.

have not been more than double ours.

wounded, but the enemy bolted when
shelled by the artillery and burned and
abandoned the town of Santa Maria.
where 1000 rebels were reported to have
been concentrated.
During the rest of the day the enemy
was in full retreat toward the moun
tains, burning villages behind the re
treating force. Occasionally a few reb
els dropped to the rear and fired at the
advancing American troops from the
jungle, apparently with the idea that
this would check our advance and cover
the retreat of the Filipinos. Finding
these tactics ineffectual, they scampered
after the main body.
The American guard along the rail
road has been materially strengthened,
and it is not likely the rebels will suc
ceed in getting in the future to as close
quarters as they did yesterday, even if
they return from the mountains.
