Some Filipinos were en. trenched on an Island In the bend of the river. The Americans approached In Irlangiilnr formation, with the Third artlllerv In the ajvex and the Kansas and Pennsylvania regiments forming sides.

In the churchyard at Marilao the Americans found 80 newly made graves of Filipinos and a doxen bodies wore seen drifting- down the river. The prisoners are digging their former comrades' graves. Many huts are smoking ruins, having been burned by their Inhabitants. The Americans are not burning any buildings. Our troops captured four Spaniards who were fighting with the Insurgents.

MANILA, March 28. It a. m. General i MacArthur' division advanced nearly j two miles without encountering opposl I tlon this morning. On approaching Bula. can, a town of 25.000 people, It halted. ! preparatory to attacking It. The heat was Intense, being 90 degrees on the coast, and fully 100 degrees In the Interior. It made the Americans suffer great deal. In spite of the heat, how. ver, everyone waa eager to proceed to. ward the enemy. A detachment of M Filipino prisoners was escorted Into Manila today. Their appearance aroused great Inter. eat. The rebel have unloaded about M0 men from a train, half a mile In front of Onnerat MacArthur'e forcea, with the object of reinforcing the Filipino rarrl aon at Kuiacan and Outanto, on either aide of th railroad leading- to Maloto.

Acting Secretary Melklejohn cab'd to Otis that as the hospital ship Relief had only reached the Red Sea on her way to Manila, the Philippine commander could hold one of the transports now at Manila and use her to accommodate the American wounded. Mr. Meiklejohn said that he was afraid the accommodations on shore would not be sufficient to meet the demand. "Any of the transports at Manila," he said, "will admirably serve as a hospital ship. They are comfortable and well venti lated." . GIWTHMALBANS AWFUL DEATH. SAN FRANCISCO. March 2S.-A letter from Guatemala dated March 11 says: Mr. Cusln, a friend of Exeta, the de throned monarch of Salvador, walked over the cliff a few days since near the port of Acajutta, and was dashed to pieces on the rocks below. Nobody be lieves that the act was sulcladl, though he declined to take food for a couple of days prior to the occurrence. It will be remembered that Casln made a fortune In Salvador, variously estimated at from $5)0.000 to $1,000,000. He Bhared Exna's exile, participated In the expense of a sloop on which Antonio Ezeta and he sailed for California a couple of years ago. Exeta died tn Panama in poverty, and the same fate overtook Mr. Casln. Th Central American Development Com. panv of London has entered Into contract with the overnment of Salvador for tbe construction of a railroad Into the capi tal, a distance of 16 mile from Santa Ana, the present termlnua.
