Manila May 0. To cloar the Filipi
nos out of Hiu'olor about five miles
southwest of Sun Fernando, will be
the next task of the Americans. The
rebel general, Mascardo, has a force ol
000 men there, well armed and poa
sensed of plenty of ammunition. Hi
troops have nevei met American sol
diets, and they think, according to re-
ports oarriod to San Fernando, that
they oan ''whip tho whole lot."

ers diuuimr trenches and ennying the
dirt in baskets. Tho enemy uses hi
riflemen for lighting only, but compels
the bolo men nnd Chinese men, and
even women, to labor inoessniitly.
The lebol outpost is about a mile be
yond San Fernando, with a tiench that
holds between 300 and 800 men. Ftotn
that point several volleys were fired
last night upon the camp of the Twen
tieth Kansas regiment.
Neither Major-General MaoArthur

In tho vicinity of Lngunn de Bay, the

N?w York, May 10. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Hong
Kong says: M. Lasco, brothel of th
royal president of the island of Negro"
arrived here today bearing a letter of
introduction from General Otis. His
mission is to purchase steamers for
trade among tho islands under the
Amurioan dug. In an ineiview M.
Laseon euiil:
"The proclamation ol the American
commiHioiiora is entirely satisfactory.
It gives us autonomy and greater liber
ality than we demanded. We believe
that AuiMiica will not fool us with
tieaties as Spain fooled us.
"Aguiiinldo was honest as long as he
was under tho influence of Dewey and
Wildman, but he listened to the state
ments of tho llong Kong junta, who
are American traitors.
"Negros wants nothing to do with
Aguinuldo's pmposed peace ooniorenoe.
We are as loyal as New York, and out
soldiers now march under the Ameri
can dug."
Admiral Dewejr'a 8urcea.nr Selected.
Washington, May 10. The navy de
partment has selected a auccessor to
Admiral Dewey tooommand the Asiatic
stations. Orders were issued toilay
dctaqhing Admiral Watsou fiom the
command of the Mare itdaud navy-yard,
and ordering him to report to Admiral
Dewey at Manila, to relieve that officer
when he feels he can be tpnted thoie.
Keiir-Admirnl Keuipff, at present on
waiting orders, has been ordered to
succeed Admiral Watson in command
at the Mare island navy-yard.
Manila, May 10. The army gun
fxats Laguna de Bay and Cavadonga
returned today from an expedition up
the San Fernando river, where it was
car nc. I that just before the battle ol
Kan Toman the insuriienU were almost
plunged into civil war.
Geneial Luna, when an engagement
with the Americans waa inevitable,
tent back to Baculor to demand of Gen
eral Mascar.lo reinforcements. Mas
oardo said he would take orders only
from Aguinaldo. Luna, with a soli
tary regiment, made a forced march to
Bacolor. Mascardo ordered hit com
mand to form in line of battle. Out
side of the opposing forces the insur
gents camp was all confusion.
Aguinaldo was terrified by the titua
tion and ordered his chief of staff, Col
onel Arguelles, to make peace at all
hazards. The soldiers were waiting
orders to fight when Aignelles called a
conference with the rival generals.
Aguinaldo begged Luna and Mascardo
not to plunge tiie Filipino forcea into
civil strife at such a time.
His entreaties prevailed, Lnna re
turned to the front with reinforce
ments, and Mascardo wat court-mar-
tialed tor insubordination. The bat
tle ol San Toiuhs followed, and Luna
received wounds in the shoulder and
groin that will surely disable him fur
the rest of the campaign, and may
cause his death.
Guagua was bombarded and carried
by assault. The insurgents fired the
town and abandoned a small gunboat
of their own.
It was from the civil governor of the
district, Jose Enfante, who stayed lo
welcome the Americans, that the news
about Luna was received. He said
that 6,000 to 8,000 natives had been
killed since the beginning ot hostili
ties, and 600 insurgents retreated from
Guagua toward Bacolor when they
heard the cannonading by the gunboats
as they approached up the rker. In
the graveyard at Guagua are 400 newly
made graves.
The insurgent forces have been di
vided, one body, nnder command of
General Mascardo, going to the west
of Sun Fernando, and the other, com
manded by Geneial Antonio Luna,
moving north. Both these leaders
claim supreme command of the Fili
pino army. General Luna will fall
back to Terlac. and from that place
move toward San Isadora.
General MacArthtir will make San
Fernando his base of operations, send
ing out detachments of troops as they
may be necessary.
Anether Intrenched Town Dlteevured

Manila, May 11. Two computus ol

lame number of Minnesota troops, (lit
wvered today the strongest notifica
tions and insurgent stronghold yet
found by General Lawton'a men. This
is at San Hdufonso, nine miles north
sf Baliuag. The position is so strong
that it may be the place of a tre
mendous battlo, if the insurgensts hold
the position. This and other indica
tions show that the progress of Genera)
Lawton toward San laidro will be con
tested every inch of the way. A mile
ol heavy earthworks with flanking
trenches defends the town in such a
way that a laige body of troops will be
required to take the place.
Thousands of half-starved natives
rush into General Lawton'a lines for
iiiccoi, and all are being fed on rice
itores captured fiom the rebels by the
Americans.
General Lawton has set op a Fili
pino municipal governmnet at Baliuag,

at each end, was run almost to the

of the town. Before they oould be
reached a gang of natives sprang oft the

high official of the Vanderbilt lines in
this oitv, the details of a big railroad
tiuat, which is to include all the lines
between Boston and Chicago, are now
being worked out nnd the consoliihuon

German Meat Kill.
Berlin, May 10. It is authorita
lively stated that the committee ol the
reiohstag to which was referred the
meat inspection bill whioh wassubstan
tiully agieed upon by the imperial
cabinet and the United States ambaa
aador, Andrew D. White, has reported
agniuat the measure and in favoi ol
bills hostile to Au.eiican interests, and
that the government will probably re
fuae to sanction it. The bill, as re
ported back, provides for an examlna
tion ol American meats impossible to
enforce without utterly destroying
American trade with Germany.
Manila, April 11. Instancea of per
lontl braveiy have been as numerous in
.he American army in the Philippines
is during the Cuban campaign, but the
wrreapondents have not had the same
jpportuuity to chronicle these deeds ot
luring in the Orient, because, owing
m the thicknesn of tne country pene
trated, many heroic acts were unseen
md unheard of lor days after their oc
mrrence. One soldier who has well
dluetrated the quality ot the American
irmy is Captain Charles Clay, of the
Seventeenth infantry. Captain Clay
.a a native of Lexington, Ky., and a
irandson ol Henry Clay. He brought
lew honor to the family name in tuba,
where during the hottest action ol the
Saiitiaao field, when his men were
lying behind cover for a shelter from
shower ol bullets, he marcned back
md forth in front ot hia company as
sreot and cool aa though on diesa pa
nde, nor would He yield to the appeals
if the men that he find shelter. "Tne
iaptaio never forgot for a second that
ie was a Clay," one of them explained.
When Captain Hale was assigned to
i brigade in the Philippines tie ap
pointed Clay to the position of adju
nut. On the first day of WacArtnur's
idvance. Captain Clay, riding erect, as
jsual, received a bullet through the
leek. He lay six hours in the jungle
before he was discovered, and as the
sound was a dnngetous one at best,
liia life was despaired of. His only
thought when he was brought into the
hospital was that his family should be
nformed that ho was but slightly in
lured. He is now. however, well on
the road to complete recovery.
Among those officers who have fallen
ho one will be longer or more loyally
remembered by his comrades than
Lieutenant Gregg, of the Fourth in
lantry. No man in the army had more
than he to make life worth living,
for he had friends, success in his pro
fession, and a vitality and physioal
itrensth that made him the im person
ition of the athlete and soldier. His
iearlessness and confidence in his pow
ns contributed to his death. In the
X'einning of the hot fight at Mariouina,
which General Hall conducted with
mch skill and success that it wat
worthy of more attention than the over
ihadowing importance of MacArthui's
idvance permitted, Gregg waa near Ins
ihief. The horBe lie rode had just
jeen shot nnder him. He was taking
ft the saddle when a man warned him
;hat the shot bad been tired by a sharp
iliooter in a tree near by. Refusing ti
;ake cover, ns most of the men weie do
ing, the lieutenant stepped forward,
and. standing erect, unonaed his field
ilusaes to look at the tree. Just as he
raised them to his eyes a puff ol smoke
waa seen in the tiee, Gregg put his
aanrt to hia breast and fell forward,
killed instantly.
Nothing for Mllea to Do.
Washington, May 10. A very olose
friend of General Miles and an officer
ot the aimy, when aaked it there was
anything for the general to Bay or do
in regard to the report ol the beef
board, replied: "There's nothing for
him to say or do. The report has
been approved by the president, and
thro president is the commander-in-chief
ol the army. Criticism ot the
report or any other action would be a
violation ol militury duty."
Anothur Deadly Storm.
Dallas, Tex., May 10. A report
from Benjamin, Knox county, says a
terrifio storm, with rain approaching a
waterspout, swept over the country
about 80 miles west of that place, and
that the family of George Humphrey
composed of four persons, were drowned
hy the sudden overflow of a branch ol
the Brazos liver. Other disasters are
believed to have happened in Pando.

communication,
Little Expectation, Howuvur, That th
aar'i t'osrereuea Will Adopt
thu Fronoeal.
Washington, May II. The United
States and Great Britain wilt stand to
getlier in the advocacy ol the adoption
oi a scheme for the settlement ol inter
national disputes by arbitration, which
will be presented to the disarmament
conference at ita meeting at The Hague.
The American delegates, headed by
Ambasador White, are equipped with a
fairly well-digested plan for the execu
tion ol this long oherisbed programme,
while the British delegates ara pre
pared with apian which is almost iden
tical with the American project. The
details cannot be procured for publica
tion in advance ol the presentation of
the project to the coference. It is
known, however, that there ara essen
tial differences between this last plan
and that embodied in the treaty dratt
ed by Secretary Olney and Sir Julian
Pauncefote. which failed of action in
the senate when submitted for ratifica
tion. The differences are rattier in tne
methods approved lor securing an im
partial adjudication than in the prin
cipals ot the former convention, and it
is believed on thes points the British
and American propositions are not pre
cisely similar. It cannot be tarn that
the American delegates go to the con
ference with any strong expectations
that their own scheme for securing the
adjustment of disputes by arbitration,
or, indeed, any project ot tbe kind,
will secure tbe adhesion of the entire
conference, or even a majority of the
delegates, but they are content to plant
the seed and make a beginning, which,
it is hoped by the president and Secre
tary Hay, will, in the end, have sub
stantial results.
The American delegate go commit
ted to this aibitration project more
strongly than to anything likely to fig
ure before the conference. Regarding
disarmament, their instructions are to
tell the conference that the present
armament of the United States and any
within the posaibilitiei of tbe futuie
are so far below the present minimum
armaments with which any of the great
powers ot Europe are likely to be ton
lent, that there is really no reason why
the United States should be called
into tbe agreement. ' ---.
Other points upon which the dele
gates have been instructed are correctly
referred to in the cable dispatches this
morning, namely, the exemption from
seizure of individual property and the
extension of the Red Cross rules to
warlike operations at sea. As to tbe
former, the president expressed himself
very strongly in hia last message to
congress.
As to the Red Cross extension, both
the United States and Spain, during
tbe recent war, voluntarily agreed to
apply the Red Cross rules at sea. But
another point in the instructions
whioh is not mentioned in the cable
dispatches is that relating to the ameli
oration of the horrors of war, anil with
this, too, the American delegates are
deeply concerned. It was because of
the president's interest in this subject,
as much as for any reason, that two
technical experts, Captain Mahan and
Captain Crozier, were included in the
American delegation, and the state de
partment encourages hope that some
thing in this direction will be accom
plished at the approaching conference.
RETURN OF DEWEY,
Claim. Are Mot Good.
Washington, May 11. Major-Gen
oral Otis has decided against the
claims ot foreigners for many milliona
due them for destruction of property
at Ilo Ho in the conflict between tbe
Americans and rebela. He declarea iu
a circular letter issued to all claimants,
a copy of whioh has just reached tho
war department, that the claims are
not accompanied by sufficient proof;
also that the property of all persons in
the actual zone of bclligerenpoy is
liable to destruction from acts ot war
without recourse, and that the only
ground on which olaims could be so
licited would be allegation ot neglect
on the part of the United States forces,
which is not alleged, and which could
not be proved II made.
