Our troops met the concentrated In
surgent for ces on the northern line to-
day commanded by Aguinaldo In per-
SON and drove them back with consld-
erable slaughter. They left nearly
one hundred dead on the field and many
prisoners and small arms were captur-
ed. The column will press on in the
morning.
Stoned "OTIS."
Adiutant.General Corbin is of the
opinion that this message WAS sent
from Manila late last night. 1t Is OF
particular Importance showing that the
American troops are now hot on the
trail of Aguinaldo. Marilao is IL miles
n orth of Manila, three miles north OF
Polo and midway on the railway be-
tween Manila and Mslalos.
MANILA, March 27.-The Filipinos
after deserting Polo started fire In
the town. They are burning native
villages as fast as they desert them.

sands of men, women and children
bearing household goods left the town

punboat Helena and the army gun
boats shelled the place. The rebels
are falling back on Malolos, their capi-
tai where they expect to make final
stand.

WADE'S REMAINS.
Will be Brought From Chihuahua
And Buried Here.

Undertaken Ross has gone to Chihua-
hua to exhume the remains of Sam
Wade and bring them to this city for
interment.
When Wade died Ross went to Mex
leo after the body, but found that it
would cost moretthan 500 in fees to
various officials to remove it and
Wade's relatives not being million
aires, they had to relinquish the idea
of bringing the body to Ell Paso and 1t
was buried at chihuahua on Mexican
soil.
During Governor Ahumada's recent
visit to this city during the corner
stone celebration, J. II. Comstock,
Wade's brotherin-law, through Mayor
Mago fin applied to the governor for
permission to remove the remains and
Governor Ahumsda very courteously
issued q permit for that purpose anc
remitted ali Tess except small export
duty.

namely, that Aguinaldo had released
the Spanish prisoners OF war on the
condition that they take up arms
against the Americans Is confirmed by
a message from General Otis received
Yesterday. The Spaniards who re-
m aimed in the power of the insurgents
have made common cause with them
and General Corbin Is ready to admit
tn at this was his belief for some time.
The Spaniards are good fighters and 1t
is their influence which is responsible
for the rebels fierce resistance.

THE CASUALTIES
of Yesterdays Battle Very Light
Considering the Hard Fight

Considering the ndrQ right
ing.
WASHINGTON, March 37-A cable
gram received this morning from Gen
eral Otis regarding the taking of
Malioloa by General Macarthur is
somewhat puzzling to the department
80 far as casualties were concerned. If
tho casualties meant both killed and
wounded our losses are not heavy.
In locking over the former cable
grams it is found that Otis invariably
means killed and wounded in using;the
word casualties. This cablegram is
the most satisfactory that has been re-
ceived.at the department since Satur-
dav. It's significance alies in the fact
that Aguinaldo is officially reported to
have the command of his forces in per-
son but utterly unable to withstand
the American attack.

GEN. MILLER RETIRES
With a Fine Record OF Forty Years
Service.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81
A change in the command of the
Visayan division of the United States
army at Iloilo occurs today as a result
of the retirement for age of General
Marcus Miller, to whose
skillful management of the
delicate situation is due in
large measure the capture and occupa-
tion of the Philippine stronghold.
General Miller retires brigadier-
general, to which rank he was promot-
ed by President Mckinley for his
capture of Iloilo. The latest advices
received by the war department from
Manila state that Gen. Miller has al
ready turned over his command OF the
Visayan division to General Hughes
and will return to the United States at
an early date.
General Miller retires with splen-
did. record.of forty years service in
the army. Born in Massachusetts
and appointed to West Point in 1854,
he graduated in the class of 1858. He
wasIbrevetted Captain July l, 1862. for
'sgallant and meritoriOus service in
the battle of Malvern Hill, Va"
For gallant service in the
cavalry campaign from Winchester to
Richmond, Va, he was made major in
1865, and the same year was created
Lieutenant Colonel for gallant action in
the battle of Dinwiddie courthouse. In
1890 he was promoted to the rank of
alonel as result of the part he took
in action against The Indians in the
Lava Beds, Cal, in 1873, and for
special gallantry and military
ability in action against
Indians at Clearwater, Idaho,
July IL and II, 1877. General Miller's
services in the Philippines and his cap
ture of Ilolio without loss of the Amer
lean forces have been recognized by
the war department as OF great value,
and his compulsory retirement is mat
ter of much regret.
