Manila, June 6.—Hall’s column,
in the uiMvement on the Morong penin­
sula, completed the circle of 20 miles
over a rough ami mountainous country,
having two engagements with the in­
surgents, one of them severe, and keep­
ing up an almost constant fire against
scattered bands of rebels for nearly 24
hours, from 4 o’clock Saturday morn­
ing, when the column left the Dumping
station.
The Filipinos were driven In every
direction, ami the country through
which General Hall passed was pretty
thoroughly cleared un. At 10 o’clock
this morning the column reached a
point a few miles from Taytay, where
Geneial Hall was met by General Law­
ton, who had already entered the town
ami found it deserted, General Hall’s
objective point was Antipolo, 10 miles
off, and there was desultory firing all
along the line of match. The gun­
boats could be heard shelling the hills
in advance of the column.
The column, after driving the rebels
from the foothills near Maria Chino,
about noon yesterday, with a loss ol
but two or thiee slightly wounded, pro­
ceeded with all possible haste toward
Laguna de Buy, the Fourth cavalry in
the lead, the Oregon regiment next,
and the Fourth infantry last. At 5
o’clock these regiments fought their
second battle of the day, and it result­
ed like the first—in the complete rout
of a large Filipino force located in the.
mountains and having every advantage
of position. In this tight the Ameri­
can loss was four killed, three of the
Foiiith cavalry and one Oregonian, and
about 15 wounded. The Filipino loss
could not ba ascertained, but the ter­
rific fire which the Americans poured
into them for half an hour must have
inflicted severe loss.
In this engagement our troops made
one of the most gallant charges of the
war, and the enemy was forced to flee
in the greatest disorder. It was the
intention to press on to Antipolo last
night, but this was found impossible
owing to the two tights and the con­
stant marching for more than 12 hours,
with nothing to eat since morning,
and no supply train in sight. The
troops, however, suffered from the in­
tense heat, many being prostrated, and
all greatly exhausted.
The cavalry, the Oregonians and two
companies of the Fourth infantry had
just crossed a small creek about 5
o’clock yesterday afternoon and entered
upon it sunken road, from which they
were emerging upon a ema'l valley sur­
rounded on al) sides by high and heav­
ily wooded hills, when the rebels, con­
cealed in the mountains on three sides
of the plain, opened a hot tire, and sent
showers of bullets into the ranks of the
Americans. The latter deployed im­
mediately in three directions. Then
followed a charge across the rice fields
and ditches and up the hillsides, from
which the shots came all the time pour­
ing in a terrific hail, while the air re­
sounded with the constant rattle ol
m usketry.
General Hall’s advance was first mo­
mentarily halted after he had crossed
the first range of bills to the east of
Monte, a town in the valley at the edge
of the hills. The insurgents wete
driven out of the town and it was
burned. The Second Oregon volun­
teers pocketed the Filipinos on three
sides, and a brisk tight ensued. Gen­
eral Summers threw a battalion on each
hill, and the Americans chased the
rebels for some distance. The Oregon
regiment lost three men killed and six
wounded, ft is impossible, on account
of the teiific fighting and the condition
of the signal wires, to get particulars.
Not even the names have been sent tc
General Otis at this writing.
The Fourth cavalry, being in the
front, suffered severest loss when the
attack opened, two of their killed be-
ing sergeants and the other a private.
The natives were unable to stand the
vigorous tiro ot the Americans long,
and nt the first feign of their wavering

fusion and disappeared in the surround­
ing valley». After the tight was over,

icans for more than an hour in clearii g

o’clock this morning tor Antipolo,

ance would be made. Antipolo is a
place far up the mountains, which the i

TRAITORS TO
DISASTER.
A
TOWN
New York, June 7.—A special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing­
ton says:
Captain Joseph Henry
Grimes has made a complete confession
cf the part he took in aiding the rili-
pinos, and the document is in the pos­
session of the government. He is a
British subject, boru in Hong Kong 29
years ago. He was office manager at
Shanghai for T. S. Etzel Si Co., and
there became acquainted with the
agpnts of the Filipino rebellion.
Ou June 7 Grimes’ firm contracted
with Agoncillo to supply 5,000 Mauser
rifles, two Maxim guns, one million
cartridges, steamer Pasig and provis­
ions, etc., at a cost of ♦188,000. The
outfit was seized by the British author­
ities at the request of the Spanish con­
sul. Then says Grimes. B. F. Sylves­
ter, a member of his firm, arranged
with Edward Bedlo, American consul
at Canton, to send the arms to that
point. The Chinese viceroy was to re­
ject the arms, but, as it turned out, he
seized 4,500 and kept them to suppress
a rebellion in his own territory.
The local authorities requested per­
mission for the Pasig to sail, she was
transferred from British to American
register by Consul Bedlo, her name
changed to the Abbey, and Bedlo
cleared her and the supplies for tlie
Filipinos for Singapore. On August
27 tlie Abbey, flying the American flag
and commanded by Captain G.
Willis, an American citizen, leit
Whampoa, 15 miles ft'om Canton. On
board was Lewis Leonard Etzel, the
American citizen, whose mission it was
to teach the Filipinos how to use tlie
Maxim guns. Sylvester, Grimes as­
serts, falsely told him tlie facts about
the expedition were known to Admhal
Dewey and Consul-GeAeral Wildman.
The cargo was taken to Santagas, 80
miles south of Manila, and turned over
to the insurgent governor of that town.
It consisted of 496 rifles, 500,000 car­
tridges, two Maxim guns and 2,000
rounds of Maxim ammunition. After
discharging their cargo, Grimes went
to Baccor, where he met Aguinaldo,
who said he wanted more ammunition.
Grimes returned to Hong Kong, but
was not successful in his further plans.
Sylvester visited Aguinaldo, but failed
to conclude a contract with him to pro­
cure arms in Germany.
“It will be seen by the above state­
ment,” Grimes said, “that both Syl­
vester and Etzel plotted on American
soil against the American govern­
ment.’’ The Abbey was seized about
September 25 last by the American
revenue cutter McCulloch, which was
attached to Admiral Dewey’s fleet.
Grimes was arrested in Manila on No­
vember 5, and has a suit in tlie su­
preme court against Aguinaldo, through
his attorneys, Agoncillo and Le
Chance, for |35, which he alleges is
one-fourth of the profits of tlie Abbey
expedition to which he is entitled.
Aguinaldo Wants Aid From

OF
INTERFERENCE
Think« It Will Assist Him to Folitical
Preference Under the American Ad«
ministration—More Troop« for Otis.
Washington, June 7.—President Mc­
Kinley is aware, through official and
unofficial channels, that Aguinaldo is
begging European and Asiatic powers
to recognize the belligerency of the
Filipinos. He has discussed this with
Secretaries Hay and Hitchcock, the
diplomatic membeis of his cabinet, and
Secretary Wilson. The president was
advised by Professor Sehurman and
General Otis that Aguinaldo has no
substantia) hope of foreign interfer­
ence, but is holding out and talking
about his hope of recognition in order
to force such terms of surrender as will
assist him to high official preference
under tlie American administration of
the Philippines.
General Otis cabled last night that
he would require 2,400 troops at the
earliest possible moment. In accord­
ance with this cablegram, Colonel
Ward, assistant adjutant-general, will
dispatch from the Presidio at San
Francisco 3,400 recruits, who have
been organized and well drilled as com­
panies. Colonel Ward said today that
these titiops would be moved this week
or early next week. The president,
in the meanwhile, is selecting from the
regulars at home the remainder of tlie
6,000 reinforcements asked for by Gen.
eral Otis.

passenger on the steamer

Storey, with three others, started for
Dawson 17 months ago over the Ed­
monton route, but were unable to get
through. He says theie is a section of
country between Peace river and Nel­
son that was never traveled by a white
man or Indian. The country is one

For weeks he and his companions
slept in clothes and blankets saturated
with water. The 21 head of horses
with which they started died, and they
were compelled to retrace their steps.
At Liard river they found 30 men suf­
fering from frost bites and scurvy.
Some had turned black as far up as
their thighs. At every camp they
found sickness and disaster. They gave
out their provisions until they ran
short themselves. For six weeks they
lived on rabbits which they snared.
On reaching Telegraph creek, Storey
reported the situtaion to the magis­
trate, who at once started in with a re­
lief expedition. He says the number
of people who have perished on the
trail will never be known.
