STILL DRIVING THE REBELS.
Their Fortifications Have Been
Planned by Experts.

MANILA. March 27.-7:40 a. m.-The
Americans have advanced along the
line of the Dagupan Railroad, driving
the Finpinos from Malinta and New
csnayan. where there were 5000 inhab-
tants. Last night the brigades of Gen
era1 Harrison G. Otis and General Hale
eneamped in the enemys trenches at
Newcanyan and that of General
Wheaton ait Malinta.
General Wheaton's brigade formed a
junction with the remainder of General
MacArthurs division at Malinta, and
the men. leaving General Wheaton
there. marched along the railroad to
Newcanayan This place was fortified,
and for 800 yards from it there were
trenches on each side of the track.
These were taken possession of by the
American troops.
The movement of the Americans will
be pushed in this direction. The Fill
pinos. realizing that the railroad is the
crucial line, have constructed row after
row of trenches running diagonally on
both sides of the track at a distance
of a few hundred yards apart. This
work was designed intelligently and
has evidently been done under the di-
rection of experts. 1t represents an
enormous amount of labor. Most of the
rebel positions are protected by thick
earthworks, a majority of them topped
with stones and provided with loop
holes Some have sheetiron roofs.
The days work of the United States
troops consisted of storming the sue
cessive trenches. The Filipinos occupy

Papers Express Admiration for Our Troops
Bravery.
Sympathy Expressed for Them for
the Difficulties They Encounter
Opinion That Our Victories
Are Not Conclusive, Because the
Fi1ipinos Have Not Learned the
Hopelessness of Resisting Us.

LONDON, March 27-The Philippine
campaign of late had rather lost IN
terest for British readers, but to-day
there Is an entire change. All the dis
patches are printed prominently ana
at length Most of the papers contain
editorials expressing admiration for the
bravery of the American troops ana
sympathy with them in the difficulties
they have encountered. The general
opinion is that the American victories
are not conclusive, since the Filipinos
have not yet learned the lesson Of the
hopelessness of resisting the United
States.
The Standard says: '"The Ameri-
Cans are fighting the rebels with dash
and vigor that are in marked contrast
to the faltering blows aimed at them
by the Spanish Generals. Englishmen
will read with sympathy of the sue
cessive charges of the American in
fantry across the open in the face of
heavy fire. Work such as this has had
to be done without number in our en-
pire- making"
The Daily Telegraph" says: "All
accounts show that the Americans will
have to bear their full share of the
white mans burden. The experience
that the United States is gathering to-
day is that of every Power which has
sought to found an empire beyond its
own shores
The Daily News says: "The ulti-
mate result can hardly be doubted but
stragetically Manila is still threatened"
The Daily Chronicle says: "All
America has to guard against is guer-
Tilla warfare and the only way to do
that is to drive roads through the heart
of the country and to pen the insur-
gents in corners from which they can
not escape

the improved tactics of the Filipinos,
who in many cases seem to have better
arms than the Americans" says:

CZAR OF RUSSIA.
"a Charming Picture" of Domestic
Life, a French Journal Saws.

A volume dealing with the private
life and mode of existence of Nicholas
II. was recently issued in Paris. The
author is NJ. Maurice Leudet, member
of the staff of the Figaro" who some
time back published a book dealing on
similar lines with the Kaiser
Nicholas II. Intime,' as the present
work is called, is a quite unpretentious
production, says the correspondent of
the Pail Mall Gazette, and deals most
ly with minor details relating to the
personality of the Czar, and in well
informed and entertaining gossip. His
majesty, it appears, has an excellent
memory
NJ. Lsudet assures us that he talks
English without an accent, but it is
noteworthy that he does not venture to
say as much with regard to French.
Mr.. Heath, his English master, is
credited with a cordial dislike for Mr..
Gladstone and pronounced fondness'
for boxing, but whether he transmitted
these tastes to- mis- pupil is not recorded.
The young princes were brought up
with as little ceremony as possible. On
Sundays they entertained at dinner the
small boys and girls who were admitted
tc the honor of their friendship.
These parties seem to have been very
lively functions There was no end to
the tricks the hosts and their small
guests played on one another. From
end to end of the table there used to
be continuous firing of bread pellets,
which were perpetually striking
nrincely noses or landing in royal
mouths Another favorite joke was to
jog your neighbor's elbow while he was
drinking, or to baptize him with a glass
OF wine''
This charming picture of home life,"
as M. Leudet calls it, is proof at any,
rate that there are various ways of
becoming fitted for the most polite so
ciety. Still, it must not be supposed
from this occasional license that the
Cars education was neglected. He
received a very strict religious train
ing, and the impression it made on
him may be gathered from a remark
OF Victor Hugo. He knew that the
great poet was freethinker, and on
reading in a newspaper an account of
his public funeral he said that he could
not understand how such honors could
| be paid to a man who had died like
dog
| The Czar rises at 8 O'Clock, takes tea
With the Empress at 8, and at $50 re-
tires to his study to read the principal
European newspapers. This task ac-
complished, he goes out for a short
walk, and at IL o'clock is ready to re-
ceive his Ministers and attend to his cor
lrespondence. After lunch he drives out
with the Empress, and on his return
shuts himself up in his study, where
he is hard at work until s o'clock, the
| imperial dinner hour. The Importance
of this meal is considerable at the Rus
sian court, as may be imagined when
| it is said that over 200 persons are en-
gagged in preparing and serving it.
