« Hf cm ■ Mt Rebels Abandon Malolos and Are in Full Retreat. WAR MAY LAST FOR MONTHS Aguinahlo Escaped Toward San Fer nando—Mac Arthur's Division Ordered to Push ou to Calumpit. Manila, April 1.—Malolos is ours. MacArthur took it. He advanced from Guiginto at 2:30 this morning. A reconnoisance up to a mile of Ma lolos showed small bodies of soldiers and 2,000 or 3,000 natives retreating eastward. On the right of the line of the American advance the Nebraska, South Dakota and Pennsylvania regiments met a resistance from the enemy in the woods. The rebels fought a short time and then fled. On the left, the Mon tana and Kansas volunteers and the Third artillery had no chance to tight. ’Orders have been received to goon to Calumpit, six miles beyond Malolos. Tire movement forward will be slow. There are many rivers, and it is rough country, and resistance is expected. The Filipinos found resistance fu tile, and fled, after attempting to fire the city. ' Aguinaldo escaped, and he is flying to San Fernando, 30 miles or so north. It is impossible to take Aguinaldo, and now the insurrection may last months. The rainy season will set in in two weeks, and the Americans cannot oper ate then. MacArthur will pursue them 20 or 30 miles, if the Filipinos stick to the railroad; if not, he must return to Ma nila, where the situation is somewhat critical, owing to the presence of a large number of rebels a few miles from the city. The engagement of Hall’s troops to day at Mariquina, which they took, wrs encouraging. . Lawton can care for the rebels in the city of Manila with his forces. MacArthur may push on as far as San Fernando, Aguinaldo’s new capi tal. The railroad is in fair shape as far as Guiguinto, and rails have been ordere 1 for the six miles between Ma lolos and Calumpit, further north. Advance on Malolon. Manila, April 1.—The United States troops rested last night in the jungle about a mile and a quartet from Ma lolos. The day’s advance began at 2 o’clock and oovered a distance of about two and a half miles beyond the Gui guinto river along the railorad. The brunt of the battle was on the right of the track where the enemy was apparently concentrated. The first Nebraska, First South Dakota and Tenth Pennsylvania regiments encoun tered the rebels intrenched on the border of the woods, and the Ameri cans, advancing across the open, suf fered a terrific fire for half an hour. Four men of the Nebraska regiment were killed, and 30 were wounded. Ten men of the Dakota regiment were wounded and one of the Pennsylvanians was killed. The Americans finally drove the Fili pinos back. Although there were three lines of strong entrenchments along the track, the enemy made scarcely any defense there. General MacArthur and his staff were walking on the track abreast of the line with everything quiet, when suddenly they receiver! a shower of bul lets from sharpshooters in trees and on housetops, but these were speedily dis lodged. The enemy’s loss was apparently email, the jungle affording them such protection that the Americans were unable to see them and in firing were guided only by the sound of the Fili pinos’ shots. The American atrillery was handicapped for the same reason. Last night’s long line of camp fires made a beautiful sight, with the Twen tieth Kansas regiment on the left of Guiguinto station, and the Pennsylva nia regiment on the right, beyond the river. The provision train was delayed bj broken bridges, but the stores of grain and flocks of ducks in tire locality fur nished ample forage. The hospital work is remarkably efficient, as it has been throughout the whole campaign. The telegraphers keep abreast of the line and maintain a constant connec tion with the city. Fell at Manila.

ENGLAND OUR FRIEND. i I Bi4ti«h and Americans Acting Hand-In- Hand in Sninua, * • Washington, April 1.—White public regiet is expressed officially by mem bers of the administration at the occur rence in Samoa, there seems to be an undercurrent of opinion among out siders that this regret is feigned rather than real. There can be no doubt but the administration has taken every i possible course to secure a more friendly and intimate relation with England; and if the two nations can be bound together in the Samoan affairs, as they are now acting to gether, other difficulties might be set aside. The better feeling that existed during and has continued since the Spanish war between England and America is fostered by some officials even to the extent of surrendering some of our just rights in the disputes with Canada. There may be a disposi tion to bring Germany up rather short, as that is popular with the people. The prominence which Germany assumed at Manila, and her evident disposition to prevent the introduction of any kind of Amerioan products in She empire has caused a feeling to grow up among the people against Germany. What a few years ago was gratifying to the American people, “Twisting the lion’« tail.’’ can be supplanted by baiting the Germans where opportunity offers. Bombard ment Continues. Berlin, April 1.—A brief dispatch from Apia, Samoa, dated March 81, says: The bombardment of the coast villages by British and American war ships continues. In pursuance of mili tary orders,white residents have evacu I ated many houses. The chiefs ot th« Malietao Tanos patry, who were exiled to the other islands, have been brought back from Upola. The firearms and ammunition taken from Tanus January 2 have been returned. SERVE THEM RIGHT. Money for the Cuban Army May B< Brought Back. Havana, April 1.—Governor-Gen eral Brooke has almost made up his mind to send the $3,000,000 back to the United States, if the Cuban mili tary assembly' does not give up the army rolls. “You may as well do so and not trifle much longer,’’ said Secretary Alger, when discussing the matter twe days ago in conference with General Brooke and General Gomez. The lat ter said that such a course would serve the assembly right. Anyway the impression is spreading that the governor-gneeral may return the money to Washington, and it is stirring up fresh feeling against the assembly. FOUR WERE DROWNED. Mississippi River Disaster Less Serioui Thau First Reported. Memphis, Tenn., April 1.—Last night news was received here to the effect that the steamer Rowena Lee, of the Lee line, had foundered near Tyler, Mo., and that all on board were lost save the captain and one officer. As there were supposed to be 50 passen gers on board, there was much excite ment. This morning came definite news that the steamer foundered yester day near Tyler, and that four persons were drowned. Fish Deputy Fired at. Astoria, April 1.—Deputy Fish Com missioner Cathcart, while partolling the river near Rainier, found sev eral boats drifting in the sloughs around there, but was unable to arrest any of them, as the fishermen got into too shallow water for the patrol boat. He exchanged shots with them, but no one was injured. He took hie boat over to Gak Point this morning, where he stayed during the day with the inten tion of returning this evening and mak ing another effort to arrest the fisher men and Beize their boats and nets. Another Fire at Pawgon. Seattle,Wash., April 1. — The steam er City of Seattle, which arrived to night from Skagway, Alaska, bring! news ot a $20,000 tire at Dawson, March 9. The fire started from a de fective flue in a barber shop in the Rosenthal building, which was de stroyed, together with the Adcock build ing. William J.

Washington, April 1.—The follow ing has been received at the war de partment: “Manila, April 1.—Subsistence sup plies are excellent and abundant. Meats deteriorating in this hot climate are sold at public auction at high fig ures. Considerable hard bread has been spoiled. There will be some loss. Supplies in all other departments are good. Medical supplies are abundant. More Territory for Germany. Kiao Chau, via Shanghai, April 1.— The population of a village near I-Tscho-Fu (I-Chau-Fu) recently at tacked with guns a German officer named Hanneman, a dragoman named Mootz, and a mining engineer named Vorschnlte, who were on a peaceful journey to I-Tscho-Fu. In the fight which ensued several Chinese were killed and others were wounded, but the Germans finally arrived here safely. SIEflMER SEELLfl WRECKED Foundered in a Fog Off the English Coast. LOSS OF LIFE REACHES 120 The Vessel Struck the Dreaded Casquet Recks. Near the Island of Alderuey, and Went Down in Teu Minutes. Southampton, April 3.—The passen ger steamer Stella, plying between this port and the Channel islands, crashed upon the dreaded Casquet rocks, near the island of Alderney, yesteiday after noon, in a dense fog, and foundered in 10 minutes. Her boilers exploded with a tremendous report as she went down. The ooasting steamer Lynx, which brought the news of the disaster here, picked up four boats and 40 persons. It is estimated that 120 persons were drowned. The second officer of the Bteamer, who was among the rescued, says a col lapsible boat was launched full of peo ple, but he thinks it struck on the rocks, owing to the fog. Another steamei has picked up a boat contain ing 45 persons, including 20 women who escaped from the wrecked steamer. The Stella left Southampton yester day conveying the first excursion of the season to the Channel islands. There were about 185 passengers on board and a crew numbering 25 men. The weather was foggy. At 4 o’clock Cas quet rock suddenly loomed up through the fog bank, and the steamer almost immediately afterwards struck amid ships. The captain, seeing the steamer was fast sinking, ordered the lifeboats launched. Women and children were embarked in the boats. Then the cap tain ordered the men to look after themselves. A survivor stated that he and 25 others put off from the steamer in a small boat. The sea was calm, but there was a big swirl around the rocks. When this boat was a short distance away from the wreck the boilers of the Stella buret with a terrific explosion and the vessel disappeared stern fore most in the sea. The last thing the survivor saw was the figure of the cap tain of the Stella standing calmly on the bridge and giving his last instruc tions. The survivor referred to said: “The suction was so tremendous that we thought our boat would be en gulfed. I saw five boats and the col lapsible boat besides our own leave the wreck. They contained altogether be tween 80 and 100 people. Five of the boats were Boon lost to view, but we took a boat filled with women in tow, and the occupants of our boat took oars in turn and rowed all night long until most of us dropped asleep, thoroughly exhausted. We sighted a sailboat at 8 o’clock in the morning, but the steam er Lynx from Weymouth had mean while hove in sight. She took ns all on board. She eventually landed us at Guernsey.’’ The Great Western Railway Com pany’s steamer Vera, from Southamp ton, picked np 40 others of the surviv ors and landed them at Guernsey. Up to noon 112 passengers have been unaccounted for. Later accounts say the Stella had 140 passengers on board, and that her craw numbered 42 persons. Another steamer of the same com pany which arrived at the island of Jersey about noon today repoits having passed many bodies of victims of the disaster about the Casquet rocks. A surviior of the disaster named BiiBh says the speed of the Stella in the fog was not diminished, though the fog whistles were sounded. Bush adds that at 3:30 P. M. the engineer showed him in the engine room a dial register ing a speed of 18Q knots. He says the vessel struck within 25 minutes afterward. Bush further asserts that two lifeboats were sunk with the steamer, which after resting on the rocks for 10 or 15 minutes split in two and disappeared. It is thought possi ble the Partons were the only Ameri cans on board, as the list of survivors does not contain the names of any other Americans, as far as known. The second mate was the only officer of the Stella who was saved. A(ulnaliio'. ARMY A FILIPINO CREW. BROKEN. Man Scattered Power Gone. and III. Manila, April 3.—Aguinaldo’s armv is broken. There are many deserters, and that means that his power is for ever gone. The rebels will now be come bandits, fighting gueriilla war fare from the mountains. The American troops are in fine spirits, in spite of the terrible heat. They are resting today at Malolos, pre vious to pressing forward. The details of the capture of the town are interesting. The Americans camped all night, and a council of war was held by the commanding officers. It was the general belief that the enemy was 20,000 strong, but the re sistance was nominal, and the losses light. Colonel Funston, of the Kan sas volunteers, dashed up to the barri cade in the principal thoroughfare with his men and charged it, yelling, “Give 'em hell.” He was the first to enter the city. After the Kansas men came the Montana regiment. These troops rescued Chinamen about to be murdered bv the lebels, and put out fires set by the Filipinos. The city is desolate today, but over it floats Old Glory, and in its streets are tired but happy American soldiers. Agui naldo’s palace was burned, and his government is a wreck. His plan is to burn everything as he flies. Prisoners say that Malolos citizens begged the insurgents to surrender to the Americans, but these were shot by Aguinaldo’s orders. All the piisoners say that misrepre sentations were made to them about the Americans. Papers and ordere found in Malolos show that the insur gents had been told that Otis, Hale and the others were killed, and the United States troops terribly demoial- ized. Twenty-two Spaniards, picked up by the army transport Roanoke, off San Fabian, after escape from the rebels, say the natives are suffering from scarcity of food, and fear the American warships will shell the coaBt towns. The Americans hope to force a de cisive battle at Calumpit or at a point not further than that from Malolos. The American commissioners ate de laying their proclamation till the rebels can be cornered and whipped. Chinese residents of Malolos were panic-stricken, but were uuieted by the Americans. They say the main army of the rebels retreated to Calum pit, Wednesday, leaving only enough behind to make a show of resistance. BOLD STREET ROBBERY. Sack Containing 92,500 Stolen From an Eipreai Messenger. San Francisco, April 3.—Ono of the boldest and most daring robberies in the annals of San Francisco was com mitted yesterday in front of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express office, on See- ond street, when a sack containing $2,500 in gold coin was stolen from the seat of an express wagon belonging to Joe. N. H. Waters, while the lat ter was engaged in conversation by a stranger. Waters was carrying the coin from the Anglo-California bank to the ex press office for shipment to Morris Bros., at Chino, Cal. The person who accosted Waters asked him the lo cation of the Grand hotel. Waters was tying hie horse at the time, but gave the desired information. On turning again to his wagon, he saw that the money had been taken. Waters has been engaged in oarrying the coin of the Anglo-California and other large banking concerns for more than 80 years, and no suspicion at taches to him. THE KINGSTON FIGHT.

Colonel Anderson Promoted. Sailor« on the Monmouthshire, Recently Arrived in Portland. Are Natives of the Island of L uzqu . Something of interest at this particu lar time 's tire fact that the sailors and 1 coal passers on the Monmouthshire, which has recently arrived in Portland, Or., ate Filipinos. On shipboard they are known as Manila men, and regarded as good sailors as ever went before a mast. They are trot unlike the Mongolians, and in fact bear ao much resemblance to them that Otte not otherwise informed would pnt them down for queueless sons of the Flowery Kingdom or subjects of the Island Empire. Some of them have been with the steamer for a long time, and understand English fairly well, besides being well versed in Spanish. They are fully cognizant of the fact that war is now raging between their counttvmen and the United States, and believe Aguinaldo “undoubtedly a good man,” to use the exact words of one of them. Another said it was no telling where the fight will end or who will get the upper hand. In speaking of the trouble, they are a little conservative, which is not at all sutprising, con sidering the fact that they are strangers in a strange land and under particu larly strange circumstances. Although much like the Mongolians in appear ance the two people differ much in habits and general make-up. Ruled by a firm hand, yet not too severe, the Filipinos prove good workmen, always willing to perform their share of the duties assigned them, and in case of trouble they can always be relied upon to uphold the side of their superior. This First Officer Kennedy has learned through years of experience. For Kotsebu« Sound. Lifesaving Service.
