ag FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS AGUINALDO’S ARMY IN. A STATE OF TERROR. American Army Now Resting Qutet- ly at Malolos—Brilliant Achieve- ment of the Americans in the As- snult on the City—Casualties Were One Killed and Fifteen Wounded —Natives Unfriendly to Aguinaldo Out Off His Retreat to the North- ward—Considerable Portion of Malolos Destroyed by Fire—Reb- els Constantly Losing Strength. Manila, April 2—The American flag was raised over Malolos at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. The Kansas regi- ment and the Montana regiment on en- tering the city found it deserted, the presidencia burning and the rebels re- treating toward the mountains in a state of terror. Tt is believed they cannot in future make even a faint resistance. ‘The American loss was small. Tt is evident that the rebels for some time past have abandoned all hope of holding their capital, for the Ameri- cans found there evidences of elabo- rate preparations for evacuation. On the railroad rails and ties for about a mile had been torn up and probably thrown into the river. The only pris- oners captured were a few Chinamen. ‘They said Aguinaldo left Malolos on Wednesday. The principal citizens of Malolos, their families and goods, haye been taken into the country over the rail- road, while others departed on foot, ng their possessions and driving cattle and other animals before the them. Most of the rebel forces were re- moved Thursday evening to positions ast of the ilroad, leaving only one small band in the strong trenches in 0 Ialolos. Gen. MacArthur started for the rebel capital at 7 o'clock yesterday morning with two rapid-fire guns flanking the track, two guns of the Utah battery on the right and two guns of the Sixth artillery on the left of the rapid, firing continuously. The Kansas and Montana regiments moved upon Malolos and the Nebraska and Pennsylvania regiments and the Third artillery kept along the right of the railroad. The only effective stand made by the rebels was. at a bamboo and earthen work half a mile from Malolos, and on the right, where the Nebraska regi- ment, as was the case Thursday, had | the hardest work and suffered the greatest loss, Col. Funston, always at the front, was the first man in Malolos, followed ‘by a group of dashing Kansans. The Filipino flag. which was flying from the center of the town, was ‘hauled down by some men of the Mon- tana regiment who triumphantly raised their own above it. Fr m the reports gathered by the American officers from prisoners and others it is believed that the rebel army is constantly losing strength on account of desertions, and that, al- though the enemy may make one or two stands, the forces of Aguinaldo will degenerate, in perhaps a month, to a few hundreds, who will continue waging a guerriJa warfare in the mountains. The American troops behaved splen- didly. They advanced steadily against successive lines of trenches, through woods and jungles, suffering from frightful heat. In addition, the Amer- ican volunteers were handicapped in fighting by the fact that their Spring. | field rifles are of shorter range than | the Mauser rifles in the hands of the rebels. Under these circumstances the steady advance of our troops is a really remarkable achievement. South Dakota Casualties. Washington, April Gen.

TROOPS REST AT MALOLOS. The American Casunities Are One Killed. Fifteen Wounded. Washington, April 2.—The following dispatch was received at the war de-; partment: E Manila, April 1. — Adjutant Gener. al, Washington: Troops resting at Ma- lolos. Considerable portion of the city destroyed by fire. Our casualties one kiiled, fifteen wounded. Hall has re- turned with his troops to former posi- tion north of Manila. NO L Main Force of ‘T UP. the Insurgents at Calumpit. New York, April 2—Journal’s Manila eable: Although the main body of Gen. MacArthur's division is resting temporarily at Malolos, there will be no let up. The main force of the in- surgents, together with the inhabitants of Malolos, are at Calumpit, a small town on the railroad six miles beyond Malolos. Indian School Sites. Washington, April 2.—Commissioner Jones has selected the sites for the four Indian schools.

Lord Salisbury’s' absence from Lon- don alone delays the formal acceptance by Great Britain. In his absence Sir Thomas Anderson and Mr. Villiers, who are understood to be specially fa- miliar with the Samoan question, have approved the plan for a commission. The United States has informally ex- pressed its approval and the formal acceptance, it is learned from the highest quarter, will follow speedily. As the proposition emanates from Germany her approval of course is as- sured. ‘rhis high commission, it is felt, af- fords a pacific solution to the whole trouble at the moment when Samoan affairs began to look the most threat- ening. ‘The new plan has been thor- oughly gone over by Secretary Hay and the British and German ambassa- dors here and its essential details worked out. Each nation is to be rep- resented by one member on the com- mission. It is to have practically un- limited authority” without the neces- sity of referring its decisions back to the several governments for approval. It is felt that, by conferring suck com- plete and finfl authority on the high commission the danger will be obvyi- ated of any further deadlocks and de- lays. Still another important provision under consideration is that King Os- car of Norway and Sweden shall be the umpire in case the three high com- misstoners should fail to reach a deter- mination. The plan of inviting King Oscar to settle a disagreement meets the ap- proval of the British and German au- thorities, and doubtlessly will be ap- proved by the United States as a means of securing finali ity of decision, though it is not known just how far this has been considered by the Wash- ington authorities. The expectation is ittings of the commission will be in Samoa, where, for the time being they will have complete author- ity over the whole range of Samoan affairs so as the high commission may think fit to act in order to fully restore order and establish affairs on a stable basis. Blamo America and England. 2.—The comment on the Same: si continues fairly moderate, though the papers naturally defend the German officials and throw all the blame on the the Americans and British. TO USE NATIVE TROOPS. They Will Be Employed to Keep Aguinaldo Basy. Washington, April 2—It is said at the war department that Gen. Otis will not make a campaign during the rainy season, nor, it is believed, will he at present chase the Filipinos to the mountain fastnesses of Luzon. The ofticials consider it evident that the fight that was in Aguinaldo has been whipped out of him, and it is believed he cannot hold the Filipino army to- gether much longer. If Gen. Otis ad- yises the war department will approve the cessation of active hostilities or further forward movement, when lit- tle can be accomplished save chasing the Filipinos without definite results. A short rest will determine whether the Filipinos intend to keep up a; guerrilla warfare, and if so a plan is already maturing to meet any such condition. The natives will be em- ployed to fight the guerillas, and as pay and afford them greater protection than Aguinaldo, there is no doubt about the ability to employ natives in this way. If there must be guerilla fighting during the rainy season, which will scon be upon the Philip- pines, the United States will not sac- rifice its troops in such warfare if na- tives can be obtained. GREAT ACTIVITY. fransportation Department of the Army Rushing Things. San Francisco, April 2.—The trans- portation department of the army is becoming very active, the news from the Philippines being of such a start- ling nature that the shipment of sup- plies and troops is being hurried as rapidly as possible. The steamer Nippon Maru has been chartered to take four batteries of the Sixth United States artillery to Honolulu, and Bat- teries A, I. K and N will leave here on that vessel about April 12. under command of Maj. Mills. Three bat- teries of light artillery, under com- mand of Maj. Tiernon will leave here for Manila about the same time, pos- sibly a little later. The Morgan City or the Newport. will be chartered for this service. The horses, guns, cais- sons and forage for this detachment will be shipped on the Leolanaw. A number of teamsters will be taken to eare for the horses of the battalion. The sailing vessel Bidston Hill will sail with freight for Manila in five or days. UNFRIENDLY TO AGUINALDO. Insurgent Leader May Not Be Able to Go Much Further North. Manila, April 2. — Recently issued copies of the Republican Filipina, Aguinaldo’s official organ, containing a proclamation to the effect that cer- tain parties are raiding the northern towns, order the same to join the Fili- pino army immediately or take the consequences, which failing to do, shall be punished with the ‘Americans. This is construed as meaning that Macaholas, the governor of the five northern provinces, is unfriendly to Aguinaldo. If this be true, Aguinaldo’s retreat is undoubtedly cut off at the railroad beyond San Fernando. Stocking a Fish Hatchery. Esyfield, Wis., April 2—James Ney- in, state superintendent of fish hatch- evies, came up from Madison with the state fish car.“Badger.” He brought a load of yearling and two-year-old brook trout for the Bayfield hatchery.

St. Paul, March 28.—The house did a magnificent day's work yesterday. Confronted when it assembled by a calendar of ten house bills and twenty- five senate bills, it “bucled down” to business and before adjourning in the afternoon had passed all the bills on the calendar but five, which were laid ever, and two which were defeated, and threw in a couple of odd senate pills and one house file not on the cal- endar. ‘The following were among the more important bills introduced: To appropriate $3,000 to pay the reg- ister of deeds of certain counties for perfecting the record evidence of the title to certain foreclosed railroad lands. — Relating to the division of common property by towns and vil- lages. — Authorizing the formation of mutual retail hardware insurance com- panies. — Authorizing district judges to modify the term of commitments to the state training school.

The McGowan eight-hour bill was saved from slaughter last evening just as the senate was adjourning. The bill had been under discussion on general orders the better part of the afternoon. Numerous amendments had been add- ed until the bill was patched out of all semblance to its former self. Senator Roverud then took pity on. the bill and moved that it be indefinitely postponed so as to end its misery. His motion prevailed on a rising vote, but when the committee of the whole had _ re- solved itself into the senate again Sen- ator McGowan had the report on the bill excepted, and after some further oratorical sparring was indulged in, it was laid on the table, to be taken up later. Senator Johnson of St. Peter intro- duced the first bill to be submitted by consent of the governor. It proposes to empower city councils of cities of 10,000 or less inhabitants to appropri- ate money for the improvement and maintenance of county roads and bridges leading to the cities. The bill was passed under suspeusion of the rules. The special pointed to draft a medical bill made its report yesterday afternoon. The report recommends a board of twelve, to represent all schools.

The sen- ate spent most of the day in debate on ithe Jacobson Dill. Senator McGowan induced the sen- ate to reverse itself yesterday with re- gard to the eight-hour bill In commit- tec of the whole the senate voted to recommend the bill for indefinite post- ponement. This was Monday after- noon. Senator McGowan had the bill excepted, and yesterday morning he tion was adopted by a vote of 34 to 2s. The House. Most of the afternoon was spent by the house in committee of the whole in the discussion of the sugar bounty question as presented by Mr. Roberts’ bill limiting the bount yto $50,000 a year for three years, and the Batz bill repealing the bounty law altogether. The consideration was devoted mainly to the former bill, although the debate took the widest range. The bill was finally amended so as to provide that not more than $25,000 shall go to any one congressional district, and in this form the bill was recommended for passage. The house finally disposed of the Gutterson bill increasing the tax on ithe premiums of insurance companies land business dene in Minnesota from 2 to 21-2 per cent.

It was not exactly a vote going to the merits of the meas- ure, It came up on a motion of Sena- tor Grindeland that the chairman of the temperance committee be request- ed to report out the bill immediately. There are undoubtedly several sena- tors who voted to sustain the position jof the committee who- may change their vote when it comes to a question of passing the bill. The House. The house at its morning session went on record very emphatically as oppesed to the Larson bill, allowing pool-selling or race tracks for a thirty- day period in each year. The bill came back from the committee on general legislation without recommendation. Mr. O’Neil moved that the bill be committed to the committee of the Mr. Fosnes moved that the The water. a whole. bill be indefinitely motion was adopted. The house spent considerable time in committee of the whole and a large number of bills were acted on. At the evening session the bill of Judge Abbott, providing for a fourth experimental farm was considered. postponed. St. Paul, March 31. — The railroad gross earnings tax bill, which proposed to increase the gross earnings tax on railroads operating in the state from 3 to 4 per cent. was made the bone of contention again yesterday afternoon inthe senate. After a long preliminary wrangle the state refused, by a vote of 32 noes to 30 ayes to take up from the table the motion of Senator Greer of Wabasha to reconsider the vote of Tuesday whereby the recommendation of the committee on taxes and tax laws that the bill be indefinitely post- poned was adopted. The senate yesterday passed the Daugherty bill to license peddlers by the narrow margin of one vote. AS originally drafted the bill was un- donbtedly prohibitive, but it has since been so amended as to make it option- al with town boards to adopt the law; it is not to affect peddling in town- ships and the license fee has been re- duced from $3 a day, $50 a month and $100 a year to $1 a day, $10 a month and $50 a year, ‘The McGowan ° eight-hour Dill was | passed by a vote of 33 to 20, under a call of the senate, all voting except Senator Gausemitz, who had, heeti ex- cused, H H called it up and moved that it be placed on the calendar with a recom- | - mendation that it be passed.

Awful Fate of the English Steamer Stella. Southampton, April 2—The passen- ger steamer Stella, plying between this port and the Channel islands, crashed upon the dreaded Casquet rocks, near the island of Alderney, in a dense fog, and foundered in ten minutes, her boilers exploding with a tremendous report as she went down.

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 burst 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 Captain of the Stella standing calmly on the bridge and giving his last instructions. The captain perished with his vessel, Continuing, the survivor referred to, said: “The suction was so tremendous that se we thought our boat would be en- guifed.
