General Otis' Army Will Mare h on
Malolcs Today Filipinos
Are Diseuara&red.
WASH CNGTON, March 28. There
was a luH today, in the reports from
the scene of action north of Manila,
which for a time was rather mystifing
to the. department authorities. Only
one dispatch, from , General Otis, was
received during the1, day, dealing with
the situation at the front, and this re
lated to yesterday afternoon. It was
not until the Associated Press dis
patches came, late in the day, -telling
that the American forces were rest
ing beyond Marilao. that General Otis
silence on today's movements was ex
plained. Afer the arduous work of a three
days' fight, under a fierce tropical sun,
through rice swamps and Jungles, It
wasv expected by the- authorities here
that General MaoArthur would con
serve the energies of his men by a
halt, long enough to rest and take sup
plies. . before the final blow against
Malotoe. the insurgent capital, was
struck. The American advance . line'
fl now fteyond Marilao. an 0 almost up'
to the large -town or Bulacan.
The exact distance to Malolos Is un
certain but at most the distance can
not be more than ten' or twelve miles
o& a direct line along the railroad. At
the rats of progress made in the last
two days, tbe next 24 hours should
bring the American force well up to
the Insurgent capital. If. Indeed, the
assault ia not begun by that time.
The avy department received noth
ing from Admiral Dewey during the
day, and tip to the close of office Jioars
nothing official had been received con
cerning the achievement of the cap
ture of a Spanish merchantman, by
the Yorktown, in the gulf of Llngayen.
While -the dispatch is silent, as to
the cause of the capture, It is sur
mised that H was due to her carrying
contraband of war. Spain 1
now
practically in the position of a neutral.
so that her merchant ships have Im
munity from capture unless there Is
good foundation for believing that aid
and comfort Is being given to the en
emy. General Otis has made no report of
wounding of General Hale which was
reported to Denver.
i DEEDS OF DARING.
Manila, March 28 10 p. m. The en
gineers are repairing the bridges, the
rebels having failed to destroy the
Iron work, and the railroad Is kept
busy Slurrying supplies to front. The
country to MaVolos Is level with fre
quent streaks and patches of wood,
but there are no more - Jungle. The
American troops will advance at day
light, taking ' four days' rations with
them, and having 200 rounds of am
munition In ' their belts. They expect
to take BocAve, on the railroad to the
east of Bulacan, tomorrow.; It Is a
difficult position, (protected by streams.
The American line l bout 1500 yards
from that of the rebels. Desultory
shots were exchanged todayi
The American reports show that
twenty men were killed and fifty-one
wounded on our side yesterday, Dako
ta regiment lost ten men killed and
had thirty-seven wounded.
According to the prisoners in the
hands of the Americans, Agulnaldo's
generals. Garcia. Tofreo and Pacheco,
were with the Filipino army yester
day, and drove their followers Into the
first agsrreisRive demionst nation. The
rebels attempted to charge aicross a
plain cast of the raIlrod but the
America1 charged to meet them, and
the Filipino bolted after a few hHs.
leaving several men killed on the field.
The' Filipino, prisoners further declare
that the rebel have lost ail taste for
fighting, and that their officers have
to keep them In line by Seating Ihem
with swords.
One of the most brilliant and costly
achievements of the campaign, was the
charge of Major Howard's battalion
aero the rivers Advancing at a
double quick, they found the river
beneath them, and splashed across
with a yell, swimming and wading,
with the bullets spattering In tbe
water, and rushed upon the rebel
Ten men were killed and
eleven wounded . In the charge.
At the capture of Marilao mere were
inri tonti showing bravery of
our troop. Som Filipinos were en

In a triangular formation, with tha
third artillery In the apex, and the

railed for volunteers to swim the river.
Two men crossed under fire, and
secured the materials with which a
crossing was eventually erected. Ma
jor Bell, of General MacArthur's staff,
with company I. of tbe Pennsylvania
regiment, and Lieutenant Abemathy,
and ten men, engaged in similar ex
pViH. After the Filipinos had raised
a white flag, many of them attempted
to run, and several were shot for do
ing, so.
In the churchyard, at Marilao, the
Americans found thirty newly made
graves of Filipinos, and a dozen bodies
were seen drifting down the river.
The prisoners are digging their form
er comrade graves. Many huts are
smoking ruinq, having been burned by
their inhabitants. The Americans are
not burning any buildings. Our troops
have captured four Spaniards who
were fighting with the insurgents.
General Mac Arthur was under heavy
fira yesterday. The prisoners say,
Agulnaldo has declared that. It the
Americans can take the Flllplna capi
tal, he will surrender..
