General Mao Arthur' division crosaed tho Rio Grande today, and advanced on Apalit, completely routing the dower of the rebel army. The enemy .were very strongly en trenched on the river bank near both sides of the railroad bridge. General VVheaton sont Colonel Fund ton across with two companies ol the Twentieth Kansas regiment, a couple of privates swimming the swift stream with a rope under a galling fire for the purpose of guiding the ruft. The man crossed in sqoada ol SO, and attacked the left flank of tlie rebels, who scuttled like rabbit into, covered ways and trenches. The rest of the regiment waa compelled to cross the bridge in single file along the stringers. All of the wood work and much of the Iron work had been removed. The First Montana followed , the Kansas across tlie bridge. The First Nebraska regiment, acting as a reserve, attacked the rebel in throe lines of trenches, driving them out, killing 10 and wounding many. In the meantime a large body of Fili pinos, estimate! at no fewer than 8,000, led by General Antonio Luna on a black charger, that waa evidently Doming to reinforce the rebels who were engaged with tlie Nehraakans, appeared in the open field about two miles to the left. Emerging from tlie jungle, the en emy formed an open skirmish line nearly two miles in length, with very thick reserves behind. They advanced at double-quick until they were about 8,000 yards from the American line, when General Wheaton ordered hia troops to fire. The rebels, who were evidently un aware that the Americana had crossed the river, broke and ran in the direc tion of Macabebe. The other Filipinos fled toward Apalit station. The heat in the early part of the af ternoon was terrific but a drenching thunderstorm, which came later, great ly refreshed the Americans. Most of the rebels fled to Apalit station, where trains 'were awaiting them. They left hurriedly, presuma bly for San Fernando. The towna of San Vincente and Apalit were simultaneously burned and evaouated by the nativea. Twenty prisoners were captured, in cluding a Spaniard.' The American troops also captured a brass cannon and a quantity ot arms and ammunition, and the same evening they captured a Maxim gun on the rail road. " . " i The fighting lasted bora noon until 4 o'clock. The American loss is one man of the Montana regiment killed and three officers and six mon wounded. THE WAR IN SAMOA. A Battle Between Friendly Native and llvbele at Vatlelo. Auckland, N. Z.. April 29. Par ticulars of tlie fighting in Samoa, con tain ei J in advices received here from Apia under date ol April 18, show that a. battle between friendly natives and rebels took place at Vailelo, and that the latter lost 100 mon in killed arid wounded. Further dotails of the death of En sign Monaghan, of the cruiser Phila delphia, and Lieutenant Lansdale, of the same vessel, have been received. They show that Monaghan waa behead ed before he was dead. A deserter ol the Mataatan force says Monaghan and Lansdale were retreating when they were discovered by tlie chief and hla wife, who wore looking for dead men. They gave the alarm and Mona ghan was shot while continuing the retreat. Later it appears the rebels returned and killed Lanadale. Mona ghan fought until lie waa wounded, and he was then beheaded. Snatelle, the principal rebel chief, ran away and told hia people 100 Brit ish had been killed. Mataafan desert era assert that the Germans sent car tridges in bags of rice and sugar along tlie coast in December.

OTIS WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THEM General Pral.a for the Volnnteare, W be Will Koch Keeeleo Medal of Honor for Bravery. Washington, May 1. The end of the Filipino insurrection ia in si-ht, in the opinion of army and navy officials. A telegram received from General Otis today announced that Agulrialdo had taken what is regarded al the first step toward surrendering, namely, re questing a cessation of hostilities. The text of General Otis' dispatch fol lows: "Manila, May 1. After taking Cal umpit, MaoArthor'g division crossed the Rio Grande river in tho face of great obstacles, driving the concentrat ed forces ot tbe enemy back of the rail road two miles. MacArtbur report that the passage of the river ia a re markable military achievement, tlie soccesa of which ia doe to tbe daring skill and determination of Colonel Funston, under the disci iminiatirig control of General Wheaton. Our cas ualties are alight, the number not yet being ascertained. "This morning tba chief of ataff from the commanding general of the insurgent forces entered our lines to expre.a admiration of the wonderful feat of the Ainerioan army in forcing the passage of the liver, which . was thought impossible. A sta IT officer re ports that the insurgent commanding geneial haa received from tbe insurg ent government directions to suspend boatilitiea pending negotiations for termination of the war. ; Tbe stuff offi cer with his party ia now en route to Manila, and will soon arrive. "Law ton's forces are well in hand in tbe vicinity of Angat, east of Cal umpit, where he is waiting for supplies to be sent tomorrow. ... "Yesterday a force of. 1,800 , insurg ents attacked tlie troopi atTagnig, and were driven back by the Washington regiment. Our loss waa two killed and 12 wounded. OT13." Secretary Alger said, aa the depart ment closed, that, while it could not be said that peace was assured, be re garded the prospects aa of the bright est, and felt oonfident that tbe end of the insurrection waa near. To his mind, there would be repetition of the negotiations which , were had be fore Santiago. Tbe secretary left Washington tonight (or a 10 days' trip in the West, and it gave him great satisfaction to leave affairs in suoh promising shape. ; Everybody r is ! praising the volun teers, a marked change in tlie senti ment expressed a few, daya ago, when it waa understood that the same men were pleading to be brought home. Colonel Funston came in for tlie most commendation, even the regular officers taking note with admiration of the fact that liia achievements were all strictly within tbe lines of tbe plana laid down for him by hia superior officer, General Wheaton. General Corbin said that every vol unteer who participated in the fight ing in the Philippines sinoe peace was declared should have a medal of honor. By the terms of their enlistments they were entitled to withdraw from the aeivioe, but they had remained volun tarily, performing more than waa re quited ot them, which was more than the ordinary duty of a soldier. Kebel Deinorallaed. Manila. May 1. General Otis said today after the interview with tba Filipino peace euvoys: "The insurgents were completely demoralized when our forces orossed the liver and took the trenches beyond the rebels, though their position in the Rio Grande trenches waa impregnable. for they had defied tbe Spauianlg there in .1896, and thought tliey could do it again." The insurgents have gathered at San Fernando, where non-combatants re poit they are burning and pillaging. The soldieia are said to be mutinous. General Law ton is again in touch with Otis and MacArthur by wire, via Bocave, a new line having been com pleted tonight. Agninnhlo is at San Isidro, a town 40 miles beyond Calnpmit. almost doe north and on tbe Rio Grande river, the same etream which tbe Americans crossed to utterly rout tbe rebels Thursday. Peasants and native non-combatant aie now returning to their homes within the Ameiican lines.

WARDNER SHAKEN BY TIIE BLAST Property Worth From SUSO.ono to S)3O,00O Shattered by the Eaploalon. Spokane, May 2. A Wardner spe cial to the Spokesman-Review says: Wardner today haa been the acone of the worst riots since the ealy labor w.ir of 1892. One man ia dead, another ia thought to be mortally wounded, and property valued at $250,000 has been destoyed by giant powder and fire. The damage waa done by union men and sympathizers from Canyon creek, about 20 miles from Wardner. This morning a mob of from 800 to 1,000 men, all of them armed and many of them masked, seized a train at Burke, at tbe head of Canyon creek. There were nine box cars and a passen ger coach, and they were blaok with the mob. Tbe visitors brought with them 8.000 pounds of giant powder. After a parley of two hours, 140 masked men armeJ with Winchesters, Burke in the lead and Wardner follow ing, started with yells for the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mill and other build ings, a third of a mile from the depot. They sent picketa ahead, and one of these pickets fired a shot as a signal that tbe mill waa abandoned. This waa misunderstood by the main body of tbe mob, who imagined that non-union miners in the mills had opened fire on them, and they began firing on their own pickets. About 1,000 shots were thus- exchanged be tween the rioters and their pickets, and Jack Smith, one of the picketa, for merly of British Columbia, and a noted figure in drill contests, was shot dead. Tha fatal error was discovered after a few seconds' firing and Smith's body brought down from tbe hillside. By this time the strikers bad taken possession of tbe Bunker Hilll & Sulli van mill, which they found deserted, the manager having directed liia em ployes not to risk their lives by battl ing with the mob. 1'owder was called for, and' 60 60 pound boxes were carried from the depot to the mill. The heaviest charge was placed among the machinery of the mill. Another charge was placed nnder the brick office building. Other ohargea were placed around the mill. Then the boarding-house, a frame structure, waa fired. Fuse lead ing to tbe chargea were lighted, and the strikers carrying the dead body of the picket, retired to a sale distance. At 2:36 P. M. the first blast went off. It shook the ground for miles,' and buildings in Wardner, two miles away, trembled. At intervals of about 80 seconds four other chaiges went off, the fifth being the largest and com pletely demolishing the mill. Tlie loss to the Bunker Hill & Sullivan Company ia estimated from $250,000 to $300,000. In a few minutes the strikers went back to the station, the whistle waa blown for stragglers, the mob soon climbed aboard and at 3 o'clock, just three hours after its arrival, the train polled ont for Canyon creek. During the fusillade from the guns of the mob, Jim Chayne, a Bunker Hill & Sullivan millman, was severely shot through tbe hips. It is reported that he was carried off by the strikers, and his wound is probably fatal. J. J. Rogers, a stenographer in tlie em ploy of the company, was shot through the lip, but his wound is trivial. GREAT RUSSIAN FAMINE. Harrowing; Stories From tho Province ' of Kaaan. London, April May 2.
