TAKING OF SAN Lt'IS.
MANILA. May ftl.-The expedition up
the Rio Grande river met with no resist,
ance except at the outskirts of San Luis,
where several hundred Filipinos were In
trenched on the bank of the stream. The
rebels retreated beyond Candaba. and
the gunboat etc.imed ahead, all tho way
training their gulling guns upon the
banks and dropping shells wherever unl.
forms appeared upon the shore. The
gunboats dispersed the insurgents before
San Luis. After they had passed, sharp,
shooters from trees across the river a
hundred yards distant harassed the Sev.
enteenth Infantry, which was marching
by fours along the narrow wooden road
from which the troops were unable to
ave the enemy. The members of on bat
talion laid on their faces In the road
for a quarter of an hour trying to locate
the riflemen and return their Are. Two
Americans were wounded.
The roflil wound clear to the stream nd
was 'thickly settled. It was a plctur.
esqtie march. Many croups of hundreds
of natives were clustered under the trees
on the opposite hank, displaying white
shirts, towels, or anything white on
poles. Some shouted welcomes to the
Americans, but most of them maintained
a sullen silence. An old man In a car
riage met the troops two miles outside
of the town. He said:
"I have lived In England and I hsve
lold the people that the Americans are
like the English and Hint they need not
be afraid."
Captain Grant. In command of the gun.
boat, landed before the troops arrived.
and met with a "Porto Rlcan welcome."
The natives who had assembled on the
shore crowded about the Americana with
fulsome expressions of friendship, appar
ently half afraid that they would be
massacred.
Captain Grant quickly distributed the
men from the gunboat Lnguna de Bay
to guard the own, and the natives sent
a messenger to tell the people who had
taken refuge In the swamps to return
Huhdreds of the native, fhereupon re-
turned timidly, a man with an Impro

pole preceding each party.
