Without e Shot.
Manila, June 8. Hall's column,
In tbe movement on the Morong penin
sula, completed the circle ol 20 miles
over a lougn anu mountainous coeuirj,
having two engagements with the in
surgents, one of them severe, and keep
ing up an almost coustant Ore against
scattered bands of rebels for nearly 34
hours, from 4 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, when the oolumn left the pumping
station.
Tbe Filipinos were driven In every
direction, and the country through
which General Hall passed was pretty
thoroughly cleared on. At 10 o'clock
this morning the column reached
point a few miles from Taytay, where
Geneisl Hall was met by General Law
ton, who bad already entered the town
and found it duseiteil. Geneisl Hall's
objective point wss Antipolo, 10 miles
off. and there was desultory firing all
along the line of march. The gun
boats could be beard shelling the hills
In advance of the column.
The column, after driving the rebels
from the foothills near Maria Chi no,
about noon yesterday, with a loss ol
but two or thiee slightly wounded, pro
oeeded with all powilde baste toward
l.aguna de Hay, the Fourth ravalry in
the lead, the Oregon regiment next,
and tbe Fourth infantry lust. At 5
o'clock these regiments fought their
second battle ot the day, and It result
ed like the first in the complete rout
of a large Filipino force located in the
mountains and having every advantage
of position, lu this light the Ameri
can loss was tour killed, tbree of the
Fotiith cavalry and one Otegonlan, and
about 16 wounded. The Filipino loss
could not be ascertained, but the ter
rifle Are which the Anierioana poured
into them for halt an hour must bave
Inflicted severe loss.
In this engagement our troops made
one ot the most gallant charges of the
war, and tbe enemy was forced to flee
in the greatest disorder. It was tbe
nlentlon to press on to Antipolo last
night, but this wss found impossible
owing to the two fights snd the con
stant marching for more than 13 hours,
lib nothing to eat since morning,
and no supply train In sight. The
troops, however, suffered from the in
tense heat, many being prostrated, and
all greatly exhausted.
The cavalry, the Oregonians snd two
companies of the Fourth Infantry bad
just crossed a small creek about 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon and entered
upon a sunken road, from whioh they
were emerging upon a imaM valley am
rounded on all sides by high and hear
lly wooded bills, when tbe rebels, con
oealed in the mountains on tbree sides
ol tbe plain, opened a hot lire, and sent
showers of bullets Into tbe ranks of the
Americans, The latter deployed tm
mediately In three directions. Then
followed a charge acroat the rice fields
and ditches and up the hillsides, from
which the shots came all tbe time pour
ing in a teirifio hail, while the air re
sounded with the constant rattle of
musketry.
General Hall's advance was first mo
mentsrlly halted after be bad crossed
tbe first range ot hills to the east ot
Monte, a town in the valley at the edge
of the hills. The insurgents were
driven out of the town and It wns
burned. The Second Oregon volun
teers pocketed the Filipinos on three
tides, and a britk fight ensued. (Jen
eral Sum inert threw a battalion on eaoh
bill, and tbe Americans chased tbe
rebels for some distance. Tbe Oregon
regiment lost three men killed and six
wounded. It is impossible, on account
ot the terifio fighting and the condition
of tbe signal wires, to get particulars.
Not even the names have been sent to
General Otia at this writing.
The Fourth cavalry, being In the
front, suffered severest loss when the
attack opened, two ot their killed be
ing sergeants and the other a private.
The natives were unable to ttand the
vigorous fire ot the Americans long,
and at the first sign of their wavering
the cavalry, Oregonians aud Fourth in
fantrv men broke into wild cheers and
charged still faster up the hillside,
pouring volley after volley, until the
enemy left the places where they were
partially concealed by the tmcKet, neu
over the summit In the wildest con
fusion and disappeared in the surround
ing valleys. Alter the fight wat over,
the firing wat continued by the Anser
icant for more than an hour In clearing
out the buth and driving away strag
gling Filipinos.
The troops, after camping tor the
night on the battlefield, started at 6
o'clock this morning tor Antipolo,
where it was expected a strong resist
ance would be made. Antipolo Is a
plaoe far up the mountains, which the
Spaniards bad said the Americans
could never capture. It has cost Spain
the lives ot 800 troops.
When the troops reaahed Antipolo
not a rebel was visible.

New York, June 7. A special U tbe
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton ssys: Captain Joseph Henry
Grimes has made a complete oon fusion
of tbe part he took in aiding the Fili
pinos, and tbe document It tn tbe pos
session of the government He is a
Dritlsb subject, born in Hong Kong 39
years sgo. lie was omoe manager al
Shanghai for T. 8. fctxel de Co., ami
there became acquainted with tbe
agents of the Filipino rebellion.
On June 7 Grimes' him contracted
with Agonclllo to supply 6,000 Msoser
Ifles, two Maxim guns, one million
cartridges, steamer Pssig and provis
ions, etc., at a oust of 8188.000. The
outfit wss seised by the lirltiih author
ities st the request ot the Hpanlsh con
sol. Then says Grimes. B. F. Sylves
ter, a member of bis firm, arranged
tth Edward Bedlo, Arneiioan consul
at Canton, to send the aims to tlist
point. The Chinese viceroy was to re
ject the arms, but, ss ft turned ont, he
seised 4.500 and kept them to suppress
a rebellion in his own territory.
Tbe local authorities requested per
mission for tbe Pasig to sail, she was
trsnsferred from British to American
register by Consul Bedlo, her nsmt
changed to the Abbey, and Bedlo
cleared ber and the supplies for the
Filipinos tor Kingaiore. On August
31 the Abbey, flying the American flag
and commanded by Captain G
Willis, an American citizen, lett
Whampoa, 15 miles from Canton. On
board wat Lew it Leonard Kttel, the
American citiaen, whose mission it wss
to tench tbe Filipinos how to use the
Maxim guns. Sylvester, Grimes as
serts, falsely told him the facts about
the expedition were known to Admiial
Dwwey and Consul-General ildinan
The cargo was taken to Santagas, 80
miles south of Manila, and turned over
to the insurgent governor of thst town
It consisted of 406 rifles, 600,000 car
tridges, two Maxim gunt and 3.000
rounds of Maxim ammunition. After
discharging their cargo, Grimes went
to Baccor, where he met Aguinaldo,
ho said he wanted more ammunition,
Grimes returned to Hong Kong, but
was not successful in his further plans.
Sylvester visited Aguinaldo, but failed
to conclude a contract with him to pro
cure arms in Germany.
"It will be seen by the above state
ment," Grimes said, "that both Syl
vesler and Etcel plotted on American
soil sgaiust the American govern
ment." The Abbey was seized about
September 36 last by the American
revenue cutter McCullooh, which was
attached to Admiral Dewey's fleet,
Grimes was arrested in Manila on No
vember 6, and has a suit lu the au
prams court against Aguinaldo, through
his attorneys, Agonoiilo and Le
Chance, for $35, which be alleges is
one-fourth of the profits ot the Abbey
expedition to whioh he is entitled.

transport Badger, and Mataafa visited
them the following day. Neither was
recognised as king. Mataafa blamed
tbe Europeans for tbe trouble here.
The commissioners informed him they
bad power to establish a government
witb or without a king. Mataafa
thought the Samoans should bave a
king, but expressed willingness to dis
arm bis followers and leave the matter
in the hands of the commission. The
Germsns acted for the first time in
many months with the representatives
of other powers, and bave officially
sent t guard ashore.
The naval authorities and tbe mis
sion societies have submitted their
views to the commission, and the lat
ter, by proclamation, fixed May 37 as
the date for the natives to surrender
their arms. Mataafa, however, asked
for an extension of tbe time until
today, when he surrendered 1,800 guns
on board of trie Badger. The Ma lie
loans are now disarmed.
The natives are gaining confidence
and are heely submitting their griev
ances to tbe commission. Tbe natives
brought here from other islands at tbe
time of the disturbances will be re
turned to their homes, and all the war
ships will probably leave Samoa at an
early date. Chief Justioe Chambers
will continue the sittings ol tbe su
preme court. Dr. Wilbelm Self, the
newly arrived German president of the
municipal council here, has not yet
assumed his duties. The Arneiioan en
gineering staff has arrived here and will
proceed to erect a naval station at
