KANSAS TROOPS
TO THE FRONT
American Casuaiities One Man Killed
and Fifteen Wounded Troops are
Resting at Malolos.
Manila, March 31. 3:55 p. m. At
10 o'clock this morning the American
flag was raised over Malolos. The Kan
sas and Montana regiments on entering
the city lound it deserted, the preeidencia
burning, and the rebels . retreating
towards the mountains in a state of
terror. It is believed they cannot in
future make even faint resistance. The
American loss is email.
It is evident the rebels some time ago
abandoned all hope of holding their cap
ital, for the Americans found there elab
orate prerarations for the evacuation.
Most of the rebels' forces were removed
yeBterday evening to positions east of the
railroad, leaving only eotne email bands
in the strong trenches in front of Malolos.
Washington, March 31. The folio w
. ing was received at the was department
this morning:
"Manila, March 31. The troops are
resting at Malolos. A considerable
portion of the city was destroyed by fire.
Our casualties are one killed and fifteen
wounded.
"Hale has returned with bis troops to
his former position north of Manila.
"Otis."
Hall Advanced Today.
Manila, March 31. 10 :30 a.m. Hall's
brigade advanced today from Mariqutna
up the Mateo river valley almost to
Montalban, driving the enemy to the
bills in the north. The rebel 9 were con
siderable in force at the junctions of the
rivers Nanca and Ampit with Mateo, but
the American artillery soon scattered
them with heavy loss. The American
loss was one killed. Lieutenant Gregg, of
the Fourth infantry. Hall eventually
returned to the waterworks.
Particulars of the Advance.
Manila, March 31. 3:55 p. m. Gen
eral MacArthur started for the rebel
capital at 7 o'clock this morning with
two rapidly-firing guns flanking the
track, two gnus of the Utah battery on
tho right and two guns of the Sixth
artillery firing continuously. The
Kansas aud Montana regiments moved
upon Malolos, and the Nebraska and
Pennsylvania - regiments and Third
artillery kept along the right of the
railroad.
The only effective stand made by the
rebels was at an earthwork, half a mile
from Malolos, and on the right, where
the Nebraska regiment, as was the case
yesterday, had the hardest work and
suffered the greatest loea.
The Filipino flag, which was flying
from the center of the town, was hauled
down by some men of the Montana regi
ment, who subsequently raised their
own above it.
From the columns of smoke arising
from the city, it seemed as if the whole
place was ablaze. - It turned out how
aver, that only the preeidencia, or gov
ernment building, and a few of the
smaller buildings had been set afire by
the rebels before they evacuated the
place. -
From reports gathered by the Amer
ican officers from prisoners and others,
it ia believed the rebel army is con
stantly losing strength on account of
desertions, and although the enemy may

make one or two more stands, the forces
of Aguinaldo will degenerate in perhaps
a month to a few hundred, wbo may
continue waging a guerrilla warfare in
the mountains. -
The American troops behaved splen
didly. They advanced steadily, clearing
successive lines of trenches through the
woods and jungles and eoffering from
the frightful heat. In addition, the
American volunteers were handicapped
in fighting by the fact that their Spring
field rifles are ot shorter range than the
Mauser rifles in tbehands of the rebels.
Under these circumstances the steady
advance of our troops is a remarkable
achievement. But the most notwortby
feature of this onward sweep of the
Americans is the patience and endurance
of the private soldiers.

can army is feasting on cocoanuta and
bananas and enjoying a well earned rest

wounded back to Manila.

by local applications, aa they cannot

There ia only one way to cure' deafnesp
and that ia bv constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube ia in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect, bearing, aud when it Ia en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which ia 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
Cure. Send for circulars : free.

Long Cbeek, March 30. Northern
Grant county was visited during the
thirty-six hours ended Tuesday by a
warm rain, which causing the snow to
disappear on the hillsides, and the grass
to start on the lower plains. In some
sections plowing is being done. Ac
cording to reports from orchardists,
many fruit trees bave been killed, and
it ia believed that the strawberry crop
will be light. -
Much trouble is bad by farmers in se
curing seed grains, owing to the scarcity
resulting from feeding whole grain to
stock as a substitute for bay. Persons
who have attempted to purchase wheat
for seed bave been unable to secure any,
and will be compelled to go outside .the
county for it.
