Washington, March 27.- The follow
ing dispatch from General Otia reached
Washington at 8:55 this morning:
Manila, March 27. Mac Arthur's
brigade hold Marilao. There' were
severe fighting today and onr casualties
number about forty.
The insurgents have destroyed the
bridges, which impeded the progress of
our train and artillery.
Our troops met the concentrated in
surgent forces on the northern line com
manded by Aguinaldo in person, and
drove them back with considerable
slaughter. They left nearly one hun
dred dead on the field, and many prison
ers and small arms were captured.
The column will press on in the morn
ing. OTIS.
It is supposed that this dispatch was
eent this (Monday) evening.
- Manila, March 29. 3:25 p. m. Gen
eral MacArthur's division spent the
night and morning at Meyoauayan, the
next station beyond Polo. After recon
noitering his front, he pushed along the
railroad toward Malolos. -
If the statement of the thirty-five
prisoners captured today is . true, the
main body of the enemy has retreated to
Malolos. There are no more trenches
to encounter, although over thirty
villages, including the larger settlements
of Bulacan and Gudguinto, intervene
The Washington regiment had an ex
citing experience today, and displayed
much gallantry. The soldiers found a
band of insurgents concealed in a stone
house over which the French flag was
flying. A private approached to set fire
to the building. He did so, and the
troops approached while it was burning,
and the Filipinos had apparently fled,
bnt they Were greeted with a sudden
volley from the balcony of the house,
resulting in the building being cleared
of the enemy in short order.
The American forces advanced from
Meyoauayan, the brigade commanded
by General Otis being on the lett of the
railroad and General Hale's on the right
They eventually discerned white roofs
and steeples among the green trees be
yond the river, looking not unlike a
Massachusetts village. The rebels had
the unformiable river in front of them
and pouring in fire so effectively that it
showed they were veterans, probably
members of the native militia, which
the Spaniards organized.
The American artillery put a dramatic
end to the battle. Approaching under
cover of the bushes to about sixty yards
. from the trenches, the artillery emerged
- upon an open space commanding the
town. When the Americans appeared
they gave a great yell, and the Filipinos
were panic striken, about one hundred
seeking eafety in flight, while a white
flag was raised by those who were en
trenched, who also shouted "Amegos
(friends).
Colonel Fanston, with twenty men of
the Kansas regiment, swam across the
river to the left of the railroad bridg
and captured eighty prisoners, with all

their arms. The Pennsylvania regi
ment captured forty prieonere. By this
ime the right of the Filipinos was de
moralized.
4 p. m. A thousand Filipinos, com
posing the rear guard of the rebel army,
which is retreating on Malolos, Aguinal
do'a headquarters, made a stand today
in some strong entrenchments about
Marilao, across the Marilao river. In
the engagement, six Americans were
killed, including three officers, and forty
were wounded.
7:40 p.m. The Americans refrained
from burning the town, and are resting
there tonight. Otis' brigade is crossing
the frame aork of the bridge, Hale's
brigade remaining on the south bank of
the river.
The United States Phillippines com
mission proposes to issue a proclama
tion immediately after the rebel govern
ment at Malolos is dispersed, believing
the most effective moment to secure the
allegiance of the natives will be after
they have received an object lesson of
America's power.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect bearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh

Tacoma, Wash.",' March 26. Dr.
Charles Corey shot and killed his wife
this morning while the two were lying
asleep. Corey was ill, and his story of
the affair is that he was laboring under
a nightmare, believing his wife was being
pursued by a stranger who was intent
on killing her. In his dream Corey says
he followed the two from Tacoma to
Washington, and just as he fancied the
man was about to stab bis wife, be fired
twice with his revolver. He awoke with
a start to find himself sitting in bed with
a smoking revolver in hand. His wife
lay beside him, shot twice through the
bead. Corey had drawn his revolver
trom its place under his pillow and killed
his wife. The relations between Corey
and his wife have been very affectionate,
and the authorities believe his story.
He is nearly crazed with grief, and friends
are watching bim to prevent his suicide.
Mrs. .Corey was a leader in social club
circles. She was afraid of a revolver, and
frequently suggested a fear that she
would be killed by one. Corey was not
arrested.

New York, March 27. A dispatch to
the Herald from Ilo Ho, island of Panay,
says : The transport Indiana has arrived
here - with reinforcements for Negros
island, where the situation is still satis
factory. The rising of the bill . tribes
was of no political significance.
The committee of natives, with Colonel
Smith, the Americn governor, presiding,
proceeded with the work of drafting a.
constitution as the basis of the document.
It has been formally proposed to raise
the island's revenue entirely from ex
ports instead of by the present method
of levying upon land values and cedula
personae, thus relieving . the laboring
class as far as possible. The natives
desire the immediate introduction of the
English system of education
A gentleman who has had excellent
opportunities for studying the political
situation advocates a separate govern
ment for each - of the islands, with a
representative assembly at Manila for
general control, under the supervision of
an American governor-general, who shall
be free from interference from Washing
ton, except in regard to international
questions.
The deputies for the island of Negros
will meet on April 3 to discuss the draft
of the constitution.
