April 10 The ate-imer Brutus, (his staff accompanied the troops, so "'-' tefleved to belong to the Manila Marl- times I'UiliiiK charts In Indian fig'itlng tactl' s. which eventually resulted In the cotnpiel rout of the rebels, with the Miullem amount of datnuge to the ' 1' and sliKht los to the Americans. The expedition started from San p.'dro Macatl at duk on Saturday, Intending to caiMure Santa Crux by assault, at day break; but In navigating the shallow!) In the Pasttr river, perhap through the cunning of the native pilot, who were not anxious to see the American successful, several boat grounded, and It wa nearly dawn wlten the troops reached the lake. The expedition then steamed cautiously toward the Napldan and the Ocste. a mile ahead of the Lacuna de Bay, which guarded Uhe rear. Itebel signal fires, tiowever, were IsKhted on a mountain, giving the ahirm of he approach of the troops. It was noon 'before the white churW) tuwers of the eMy ameared In the shadow of a volcanlo mountain on a marshy plain, dotted with additional j alm groves. A ciinoe with a force of SD picked shaiTShooters under Major 'W'els eiiberKer. mostl) belonging to the First WaliitiRtoit regiment, was run Into a Muillmv atH'iit live mile south of the city. Then a few shells were sent toward tho entrenchments of the rebels at the edge of the woods, sending the enemy gi iinipetliXK Inland. Then a number of American Jumped Into "the water and. wading for about tOu yards, crept for ward, the lino covering the landing of the remainder, which finished debarking about 5 o'clock. Three troop of the Fourth cavalry, unmounted, were sent ashore on a dangerous, marshy point, directly south of the city, under fire from the enemy's .trenches. Meanwhile, In the town ttselt there was utter silence and not a sign of life. Gen eral Lawton, desiring to make an In spection and to give the Inhnotiants an opportunity to surrender, went on board th I Ounii d Buy and .accompanleu by the Associated Tress launch, steamed slowly to the dock, the whole fleet wat h lng anxiously. When It was discovered by glasses that the trenches and stone buildings were swarming with white clad soldiers, the two boats withdrew, rcelv lng volleys from the trenches thrown up on a marshy plain north of the city, me flotilla anchored In compact formation for the night, ready to resist any surprises from the rebel gunboats supposed to be in the lake. i At sunrise today (Monday) the asuauli commenced. The American outline outk of the city strotiched two miles Inland, and, with Us loft sweeping the hore, tt moved north, while the Fourth cavalry men on the point advanced toward tho city, pouring volleys on the trenches. Simultaneously the gunbouts hovering alone tho shore shelled the woods ahead of the troops ami drove tho Filipinos In land. The OatUng cleared several trcnohea. The whole brigade woa divided into squads of 12 and everything was tar ried on In frontier fashion, behind fees, crawling through bushes or running across the open. The trenches that weie not cleared by the gunboats gava consid erable resistance when the line wa near Ins the city, and the La Guna de Bay and Oeste bombarded for an hour In the l:op of making them too warm for occupancy, but did not succeed In clearing them en tirely. General Lawton, with the Fourteenth infantry tiattailons, approached a narrow Iron bridge across th creek on th yOuth border of the town. Here a company of Filipino -was entrenched across the stream and behind a stone barricade at the entrance to the bridge. The Ameri cans rushed forward In single Ale In the face of a galling fire, demolishing tb barrlad with thtr lunda, nd drove tha enemy from th 4ren4iea, kllllnjc dozen. Th Filipino oldler In th town, lecreted In various bulldlnfi and nnntt from -winli: av th invader an In. terwrtlnt hour. There wa ft ruir nt of them in a atone jail, whk h I edg! In by a wall.

Otneral Lawton eatabluhed headquar ter at th elegant palae of the governor and a guard was immediately plac In ne church, as ibe sacred edifice are always the firm objwtive point of looter.

Dr. McGlffert Charge With Hrty and Contempt by th Presbyteritn Oeneral Assembly, NEW YORK, April ia-Th Herald says: Again th McGlffert heresy case la up, and this tlm la graver fore than ever. The charg I now mad that to th sin of heresy to Wemntnoter stftnd rd, IS added contempt for th prby teriao gerai assembly, Rer. Dr. Arthur Cuhman McOlffert, Washburn profesor of church Mstory In Union theetoglcal seminary, published ft book on tb Chrntlan Church In h Apos tolic age.

Jt move wa made by the Presbytery of Pittsburg. In the form of an overture to the general assembly of test year. The Presbyterian church had had several year of discord, and there was ft general feeling that the thing most to be dlred was peace. The general assembly commute brought In three report, a. majority and two minority one. On of the last named was signed only by Rv. Dr. Francis Brown, ft fellow professor In (he sam seminary, and advised that tb natter be dropped. Th other directed th New York Preebytery. of which Dr. McGlf fert Is ft member, to ftct The majority report confessedly wa written to avoid trouble at the time. It wa an attempt to smooth matters over and to give the union hlMortan a chanc either to retract or to withdraw from th Presbyterian mlnbttry. There wa no in timation that he wa to report fo the forthcouiing general assembly, which 1 to meet In Minneapolis May IS. Nor did the resolution stale who was to confer with .hlra. The whole action of last year1 assembly looked toward pea'. But lat week letter were received In this city from members of the Ptttxhurg Presbytery to the effect that the Pitts burg commissioners, whoever tney might be. would not fill to pres the matter at 'Minneapolis. The charge 1 mad that not only has th heresy to the West-mlnnt-r standards not been withdrawn, but the highest court In the church, tnat to -which Dr. McGiffert ha vowed obe dience, has been Ignored. There are n"w two charge agsint th union professor Instead of one. I! Is cer tain, therefore, that the charges .will not be passed over at Minneapolis. It Is not considered likely, however, that the Pres byterian meeting today will take any no tice of the matter, and that It will be. left to th general assembly, ,t"j NORWEGIAN MEMBERS SNUB THE CROWN PRINCE.
