BEFORE THEM
Noon Territory as Far as Paranquo Was
Cleared Americans Lost Two
Officers and Twenty-one Men
Wounded Rebels Left Fifty Dead
on the Field.
' Manila, June 10, 4:30 p. m. At day
break today a force of 4500 men under
Generals Lawton, Wheaton and Oven
Bbine advanced from San Pedro Macati,
sweeping the country between the bay
and Manila and Bay Lake, south of Mar
nils. . By noon the country will be
cleared almost to Paranquo. The Ameri
cans logt two officers killed and twenty
one soldiers wounded. The rebels re
sisted desperately at the stronger of their
positions, and left fifty dead in the
trenches. Many more wounded were
left behind by the rebels in their re
treat. The heat daring the day .was
overpowering, and there were' many
prostrations of American soldiers from
:that cause. ' - '
i . It was scarcely dawn when the troops,
in a long silent procession, wound up
.the hillside: behind ' the American
trenches and formed a ekirtnish line.
Concealed in the jungle, the advance
rebel outposts fired a few shots before
I being seen. The artillery, the Colorado
infantry and Nevada cavalry swung
around the hilltop of the left and opened
the battle at 6 :30."
The rebels made no response from the
bills and the Colorado men cautiously
advanced through the thick morass until
they were confronted by a trench, from
which a few weak volleys were fired. A
spirited response followed and a charge
into the trenches found it to be deserted.
In the meantime apart of the Thirteenth
and Fourteenth regiments formed in
Bkirmish line, extending a mile to the
right and. supported by the : rest of the
regiments, swept down the valley and
up the hillside toward another trench.
The morass seriously hampered the
.Fourteenth, and the rebels, taking, ad
vantage of this, poured a galling fire
up-n them for thirty minutes. The
Fourteenth was twice compelled to with
draw for the purpose of finding a eate
crossing in the swamp, Finally - the
trench was entiled on both, flanks. The
rebels fled through the woods, sustain
ing severe losses. "
General. Lawton: then pushed his en
tire command south through the center
of the isthmus until a few miles south of
Paranque, when he swung around, and
halted on account of the heat. During
the march, men were prostrated., on all
sides, owing to lack of water and expos
ure to the sun. . It is estimated that 40
- per cent of the troops were exhausted.
.The double turreted monitor Monad nock
and three other vessels shelled Paranque
. this morning, and the rebels , promptly
evacuated the place. - !

Salmon f Run Good.
Astoria, Or., June 9. The warmer
weather of the past few days has bad a
beneficial effect on the run of fijh in the
river, and last night's - catch was the
largest of the season thus far. ' All who
ventured near tbe mouth of the river re
port good catches, and one boat delivered
1700 pound?, the result of one day's fish
ing. One salmon was received at the
cold storage plant this morning that
tipped the scales of 79 pounds. "Despite
reports to the contrary this has been the
beet season in years for . the gillnettere,

salmon for the East, and will be dis
patched in a few days. :

COMBINING WITH
SMALLER FORCES
Great Danger That the Schemes Before
the Peace Conference Will Fail.
Washington, June 10. According to
private advices reaching here from The
Hague, tbere is great danger that one
and all arbitration schemes before the
conference will fail.. It is eaid Germany
is markedly hostile to the arbitration
principle, and is making an active can
vass to-secure the support of some of tbe
Becond-rate powers in the opposition.
If tbe movement is successful, even in
a limited degree, it is feared that arbitra
tion is doomed so far as this conference
is concerned, for, to carry any weight
and show practical results, the delegates
must be nearly unanimous.
Brussels Conference Section.
The Hague, June 10. The Brussels
conference eection met today.
Major-General Sir John Ardagb, of
the British delegation, declared that
Great Britain could not bind herself to
eign a convention drawn "from the
Brussels conference of 1875, but must
reserve the right of jndging of the 'ne
cessity of the expediency of abiding by
stipulations of .that conference or this
confeience in general order to her armies
in the event. of war or in . the event 'of
opening a campaign. Professor '. de
Martens replied that Russia did not ask
the powers to sign a convention ' on
the Brussels conference, but desired
the powers to undertake to embody
the,--;. stipulations - now... agreed upon
in the instructions given troops-at ' the
opening of a campaign. -
