BACOOR IN RUINS.
Shells Froia American Guns Knocks the
Town to Pieces,

Manila, June l6.-The Filipinos re-
treated several miles southwark after
Tuesdays engagement to the strongly
fortified town of linus. The shelling
of the American warships drove the
rebels from Bacoor. The Americans
control several more miles of the coast.
General Lawton, with his staff and
troop of the Fourth cavalry, started to
ascertain the nature Of the insurgents
position. He rode Ave miles along the
coast to Bacoor, without discovering
the enemy.
He found the town full OF white
flags, but their were no soldiers there,
The women and children who had fed
to the woods during the bombardment
were camping in the ruins of their
homes. The shells had almost knocked
the town to pieces. The big church
was wrecked, and many buildings were
ruined. Even the trees and shrubbery
were torn as by hailstorm.
Several hundred women and child
rem came into the American lines for
refuge and the road from Bacoor was
covered all day long with professions
of them on foot and in carts, driving
animals and carrying goods on their
heads.
The appearance of the battlefield
testified to the fierceness of the fight
ing. The trees along the river between
the lines are almost torn down by bull
let's. The American officers estimate
that 100 insurgents were killed, and
that 800 were wounded during the en-.
gagement.
The next battle will probably be
fought at linus.
The American troops will soon con.
troll the coast to Cavite.

The rebel forces, estimated to have
numbered 5000 men, advanced steadily
from the jungle north of the city and
then divided with the evident purpose
of surrounding the Americans, The
outposts of the Iowa regiment discov-
cred the enemy, and retired to their
lines, where the entire division await
ed in an intrenched position.
The Kansas and Iowa regiments re-
ceived the first shock of the attack.
Reserving their fire until the enemy
was within six hundred yards the
first vollev of the Americans hit the
rebels, who returned the fire wildly,
the rest of their line failing to advance.
The Americans, who thoroughly en-
joyed the novelty of the situation OF
awaiting an attack, sailed forth, and
the insurgents thereupon turned and
fled into the jungle. Our loss was
fourteen men wounded, and the ma jor-
ity of them are only slightly hurt.
General Funston's brigade of Kan
sas and Montanas, and General Hale's
brigade, the seventeenth regiment and
the Iowa regiment, constituted the
force engaged
Aguinaldo is reported to have per-
sonally conducted the attack, and
preparations were made for several
days to bring forward troops from

DEMOCRATS RESPONSIBLE.
Asked for Appropriation for National
-, Guard Reduced From $4,000
to $4,000.

JEFFERSON CITY, April l3.-(Special.)
The Democrats seem determined to pur-
sue a nisgard!y policy in the matter of
the appropriation for the national guard
for the ensuing two years. The members
of the house wransled for hours to-day
over the section of the general appropria-
ton bill providing for an appropriation Of
$4,000 for the national guard.
The measure was considered in committee
of the whole and when the committee rose
and reported progress. The section of the
bill relating to the national guard had
been amended 80 to make the appropria-
ed, the section was agreed to by vote
of 64 to A. Democratic votes being respon-
sihie for the reduction. When all the sec
tions of the bill have been considered in
committee of the whole, it will come up
again in the house and the fight over the
national guard appropriation will be renew
ed with vigor. There are roll calls when
the house resolves itself into committee of
the whole and for that reason members
were not put on record to-day
The friends OF the national guard have
not given up hope, although their pros
poets are far from rosy, Notwithstanding
the fact that Governor Stephens recon-
mended an appropriation of $4,000. as well
as Adjutant General Bell and the house
committee on appropriations. The Dem
guard appropriation from $4,000 to $4,000
in caucus and this no doubt had much to
do with their action to-day.
In the debate Mann. of Kansas City.
made one of the best speeches for liberal
appropriation.
