The repulse of the natives shows that they had not sufficient force to accom- plish their purpose. It is probable that the Kansas vol- unteers were in the fight as usual. When Harrison G. Otis left the army Gen. Wheaton was placed in command ef the brigade, which is made up of the I'wentieth Kansas, the First Mon- tana and a part of the Third United States artillery. Gen. Wheaton went to Manila with the Twentieth United States infantry. The war department has received a dispatch from Gen. Otis announcing the success of Gen. Lawton’s campaign | in the capture of Santa Cruz He says that Gen. Lawton is pushing the rebels into the mountains beyond the city. The following is Gen.

The Kebeis Active. Manila, April 11.—At about mid- night the rebels cut the telegraph line at several places between here and Malolos and signal fires were lighted and rockets sent up along the foothills to the right of the railroad. Later the enemy attacked the out- posts of the Minnesota regiment be- tween Rigaa and Bocave, five mile south of Malolos, killing two men and | loss sh Lawton in wounding 14. Simultaneously, the | outposts of the Oregon regi- ment at Marilao, the next sta- tion on the way to Mani were attacked with the result that three Americans were kille‘ »nd two were wounded. The joss of the enemy was | ten men killed and six wounded. he Americans also captured two prison- ers. Troops were concentrated along the railroads as thiekly as possible and the rebels were driven back to the foothills. The roadbed of the railroad was damaged, but it was repaired al- most immediately and traflic was sumed through to Malolos.
