REBELS DEFENSE
STRENGTHENED
Oregon Volunteers and the Twenty
Second .Infantry Were the First
Regiments to Go to the Front
Manila, March 24. Noon. The
eaemy is extremely active in the vicinity
of Malabon preparing defenses, evidently
anticipating an attack. They keep well
under cover. A small body of rebels,
however, emerged from the jungle ou the
extreme left and fired on the Kansas
troops in the trenches, fatally wounding
Privates Cohen and Murr.
The Oregon volunteers and the
Twenty-second infantry marched to the
front today. The Third and Seventeenth
regiments have disembarked from the
Sherman. General H. G. Otis' brigade
struck their tents this mornine, and an
early move is probable.
Sixteen English refugees arrived here
yesterday from Dagupan, the railroad
terminus, on board the Saturnus. They
report that the natives are generally
friendly, and the officers invariably
courteous.
According to Filipino accounts 1000
Americans have been killed, the fatalities
being especially heavy at Calocan, where
the United States troops "Rushed like
madmen against a storm of bullets."
o:zo p. m. lwo Spanish prisoners
have escaped from Polo.
The lines of the Kansas regiment report
that the Filipinos have concentrated
their forces at Malabon and Polo. They
add that only Aguinaldo's body gqard is
at Malolos, and : that the rebel leaders
apparently intend to stake their fortunes
on a fight at Malobon, where it was ex
pected an engagement would take place
yesterday. If defeated, it is further
asserted, the rebels intend to disperse to
the swamps and mountains.
Rebels were pulling their bolo men in
front, believing that their cbarae will
avert the bullets. The bolos of the
Filipinos greatly outnumber the rifles in
their hands. The rebels are further
said to have admitted that they cannot
withstand the American shells and
bayonet charges.
The escaped Spanish prisoners corrob
orated the stories told of a food shortage
among the rebels, and they added that'
the hospitals are short of supplies.
Rebels "Propose to Make a Final Stand.
New York, March 24. A dispatch to
the World from Manila says : The rebels
are heavily massed in - the trenches
opposite our lines on the north. This
evidently comes from a belief on the part
of Aguinaldo that a blow is to be struck
very soon at Malolos, their capital.
Prisoners who have been brought in
within the last twenty-four hours say
that the rebels have the last-ditch"
feeling, and will make the most decisive
stand they have yet taken.'
The second line of defense occupied by
the rebel forces is between San Mateo
and Mannaliches. There are rows of
trenches there, and the advance of our
troops can only be step by step, with a
resistance to be expected at every trench.
The weather now is most favorable,
and there are only eighty-five men in the
hospital.
Will Destroy Aguinaldo's Army.
. Washington, March 24. It is nnder-
stood here that Otis has so far matured
his plans of campaign that within a week
or ten days he will be able to begin a
movement which is expected to mark
the destruction of Aguinaldo's army
Although stragglers and fugitives may
infest the island of Luzon for some time,
it is believed that before Otis has
delivered his next blow, the insurgent
army as an organization will have ceased
to exist. .
VOLUNTEERS WILL '
BE RUSHED HOME
IntcnliM Is to Leave None in Cote After
April 25.
A FORMIDABLE
UNDERTAKING
Twenty-three Regiments Must Be
Moved, and - Every Available
Transport Will be Pressed Into
Service.
New Yobk, March 24. A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says: Adjutant-General
Corbin has undertaken
to get the volunteers out of Cuba by
April 25, and arrangements are now be
ins perfected with that end in view.
This is fully two weeks within the limit
of May 10, set by the president before
he left for the South. --
The proportions of the undertaking
may be realized when it is remembered
that twenty-three regiments must be
transported by sea to the United States
within a month. All the government
transports bow in the Atlantic' will-be
utilized. These include the Dixie,
which has been secured from the navy
department; the Comal, the Crook, the
Kil patrick, the Sedgwick and the
Thomas, besides such Ward and Plant
line steamers as can be used.
For the past week every effort - has
been made to bring borne at least ten of
the regiments- before April 1, when
Surgeon-General Wyman, of the marine
hospital service, inaiats that quarantine
against West Indian ports shall be es
tablished. " g

DEATH FOLLOWED
A SPREE
Discoverer of Buffalo Hump Succumbs
to Pneumonia.
Lewiston, Idaho, March 23. Charles
F. Bobbins, who with Bert Rigley dis
covered the famous Buffalo Hump last
summer, died here today of pheumonia.
He bad been on a big spree ever since
the tret discovery, and came to Lewis-
ton only a few days ago to receive med
ical attention. Several Buffalo Hump
friends were with him at the time of his
death. He had frittered away almost
all of bis money, having but a small
pait of his original Big Buffalo interest
left. . He was 42 years old and un
married. He will be buried here to
morrow. '
. As the season of the year when pneu
monia, la grippe, sore throat, coughs,
colds, catarrh, bronchitis and lung
troubles are to be guarded against,
nothing "is a fine substitute," will
-answer tne purpose," or is "just as
good" as One Minute Cough Cure. That
is the one infallible remedy for all lung,
throat -or bronchial troubles. ' Insist
vigorously upon having it If "something
else" is offered yon. Snipes-Kinersly

CONFESSION
WAS FALSE
Chinese Admits Perjury and .His "Ac
complices" are Discharged.
Baker City, March 23. Lee Mow,
the Chinaman who was charged jointly
with Frank Shinn and William Small
with the larceny of $1000 worth of
jewelry and nuggets from a stone ware
house in Chinatown, on the night of
December 15, 1898, last evening In Jus
tice James's court, denied the truth of a
confession, which he bad signed in turn
ing state's evidence, and the court dis
charged Shinn and Small on the ground
that the testimony was totally in
sufficient to kold them. Lee Mow will
probably be prosecuted for perjury. He
is an opium fiend and testified that he
did not know what the convicting papers
contained, when be signed it.
General sympathy is expressed for the
relatives of Small and Shinn, who are
among the oldest and most respected
residents of this county.
