wonnding of Colonel Egbert, veral
man of thTwenty-eoond infantry and
evetal men of the Oregon and Kan
aaoa regiment war killed.
Evidently anticipating a bombard
ment by the Meet, a thouaand rebel
vacated Malabon last night, leaving a
few to bom the town. General Wbea
ton' brigade, composed of th Second
Oregon regiment and tb Twenty
ecoud and Twenty-third infantry,
tretcbed out along th railroad from
Calocan to lit Tuliahan river, wal
powerless to prtveut the withdrawal,
owing to th natural obstacle and to
th ctrong opposition. A column of
imok at daybreak was tlie first intima
tion of th enemy' inteution, but
other followed at variou point, all
soon blending in a dense balloon
ahaped cloud. Th flames of the burn

By 11 o'clock in the morning the
only building of importance not de
treyed in the oenter of the town was a
large stone ohnioh, but even at noon
fresh flrei were started among the na
tive buti in the outskirts of Malabon,
although th general exodui took place
much earlier. Many of the lebeli
ought refuge in tlie suburbs, Navotai
and Caring, or were driven inland hy

satisfaction at what bad been accom

not been ao promising, inaimuoh a
they had staled that General MacAr
thur, although he had driven the en

country. With easy railroad commun

Every itep tot ward li regarded at so
much ground gained, and an approach

of the enemy has retreated to Malolos.
There are no more trenches to encoun
ter, although over 80 villages, includ
ing tlie larger settlement of Bulican
aid Undguinto, intervene.
At every railroad station circulars
have been posted signed by the Fili
pino commauder-in-cbiet, Antonio
Luna, ordering all apiea and bearer of
news to tlie enemy to be ihot without
trial, and instructing tbat all looters
and ravisheri be treated in the tame
manner. Further, all towm abandoned
by the Filipino troop mutt Gist be
burned. While deploring the existence
of war, the circular maintains the un
deniable right of the Filipinos to de
fend their homes, live and land
against "would-be dominators, who
would kill them, their wives and child
ren," adding tbat this motive ought to
impel all Filipinos to saciifioe every
thing. The Washington regiment had an
exciting exp3rience today, and dis
played much gallantly. The soldiers
found a band of inaurgent! concealed
in a stone house over which theFrenoh
flag wai flying. A private approached
to let fire to the building. He did so,
snd the troops approached while it was
burning, and the Filipinos had appar
ently fled, but they were greeted with
a sudden Tolley from the balcony of
the house, resulting in the building
being oleared of tbeenemy in short or
der. THE BOYS PRAISED.
Noble Work Doao by the Second Ore
gon Volunteers.
Washington, March 29. There was
nothing but high-sounding praise beard
about the war department for the Ore
gon troops, whioh have stood the brunt
of the fighting in the Philippines dol
ing the paat few days. The fact that
the regiment's losses were much great
er than any other organisation, and that
every company in the regiment suffered,
shows that the whole regiment had
been expoesd to the fire of the enemy.
The entire volonteer army in the
Philippines is highly praised, the Star,
this evening, giving it a half column of
editorial commendation. It speaks of
the lack of complaint among the vol
unteers in the Philippine! and the sol
dierly qualities. It ii well to remem
ber that the army in the Philippines
lias been handled by loldiert, and not
by politicians. There is no desire now
on the part of the volunteer! to come
home.

the compensation for the rights will be
pecuniary.

REBELLION MAY BREAK OUT.
Sorlons Crisis Rapidly Approaching In
Jamaica.
New York, March 80. A dispatch
to the Herald from Port Antonio, Ja
maica, says: This island is passing
through a aevere crisis. The governor
is afraid to occupy his residence, and
if anarchism does not break out it will
be entirely due to the unequaled loy
alty of the people.
Though the island is taxed to iti ut
most capaoity with a tariff of 60 per
cent on necessaries, a weak govern
ment, in order to provide fund to pre
vent the reduction of it! members' sal
aries, has actually introduced a higher
tariff. The salaries of the Jamaica
officials amount to nearer 60 per cent
of the revenue collectible. The people,
while willing to support these officials,
have not the means to do it. The
home government will not permit con
tei vailing duties, and thus the sugar
industry is orippled. .
Coffee can find no' market owing to
the enormous output of the world, and
banana-growing is the only industry to
which tlie people can look aa a means
of support Dependence upon this ar
ticle will soon be impassible.
Jamaica then will beilriven by the
British government to anarchism, or,
perhaps worae, rebellion.
The island parliament ia in sesuon,
and the. people's representatives are
fighting hard to throw out the tariff
bills at a measure of relief, and aa the
government aid is further strength
ened by an additional four members to
outvote the people, it will succeed.
The whole country is arouse 1 and in
dignant. The governor is afiaid to re
main at hip .residence. Be is always
traveling" away from it, and today h
ia under the protection of the Ameri
can flag, being a guest of the president
of the Boston Fruit. Company, at this
plaoe.

London, March 80. Guglielmo Mar.
wni, the inventor, who recently, after
long delay, obtained permission from
the Frenob government to establish a
atation on th French coast for the
purpose of experimenting with wire-
leg telegraphy between England and
Trance, announces that be hit con
looted successful experiment betw een
;he South Foreland, county of Kent,
ind Boulogne, at the mouth of the
Lianne.
The Time thi morning prints 100
word dispatch, the first press message
by the Marconi system of wireles tele
graphy, describing the experiment be
tween the South Foreland and Bou
logne. The experiment weie conduct
ed with the Morse code, which waa
read as distinctly as if tlie termini hail
been connected with wirss. The South
Foreland consist of a chalky cliff
about 300 feet in height, projecting
into tb North sea, and having two -lighthouses,
with an elevation of 373
feet.
Signor Marconi's system of wireless
telegraphy has been in practical opera
tion off the English coast for teveral
months between the South Foreland
lighthouse and the East Goodwin
lightship, a distance of 13 miles. The
distance from South Foreland- light
boose to Boulogne-Sui-Mer is 83 miles,
the greatest previous distance covered
having been 18 miles, between Poole
and Bournemouth, in England. An
experience of 14 month bad shown
him tbat no kind of weather would
top the working of hii apparatus.
The vertical conductor be used
th main feature of hi system, and I
has found tbat the distance to whic.
signals may be sent varies according to
the square of the length of thi con
ductor. For signaling 18 mile he used
a conductor 80 feet hinb, and in his
application to M. Lockroy, he contend
ed tbat with a conductor 114 feet high
he could establish communication be
tween points on oppoaiiiH tide of tlie
Strait of Dover and even go that dis
tance 10 mi lea better. Hia experiments
have already proved tbat when such a
vertical wire or conductor it employed,
no hindrance to signalling ia oaosed by
bill or other obstacles, or by th curv
ature of tb earth.
One of hia moat interesting and val
uable experiment was th installation
fitted np last autumn between Osborne
house, Isle of Wight, and the royal
yacht on which th Prince of Wale
was recuperating after bis accident.
This gave an opportunity to atudy th
effect of intervening hill, and aa th
yacht moved about to variou poeitiona,
doubts were set at real a to the possi
bility of telegraphing aoroaa . long
atretche of land. Communication be
tween lightship and ihore ia a matter
of great importance, and th wireles
system between Sooth Foreland .light
house and East Goodwin lightship
worked through the fiercest storm of
the latter part of February without in
terruption, the messages being flashed
continually from ship to shore, and
vice vena. Signor Marconi ia much
the most - successful experimenter,
among the many who have worked
along the tame line. He ia now in his'
36th year. He ia an Italian, .and it,
was in Italy that he began bia special
work. The Italian 'government paid
him a large sum of money for bit in
vention to be used on warahipa. .From
Italy he went to England, and hia auc-
cess has already' interested Emperor'
William, who -has instructed German)-'
experts to experiment with, the wireless
system for the benefit of the German
army and navy. He recently, in the
course of a lecture on the system, ilia--t
rated its principle by likening it to ,
that upon whioh a tuning-fork will re
spond to vibration! caused by striking
auothei tuning-fork near it. ... '.
