FILIPINO CAUSE IS LOST
Aguinaldo's Men Desert to
the American Lines.
NATIVES WAVING WHITE FLAGS
Philippine Commission Will Issue a
Proclamation Demanding Uncon-
ditiOnal Surrender.

Manila, April 4.-The arrival Of Col
onel DENLY. the last member of the
American Philippine ission, has
decided the commission to issue a proc
lamation to the rebels at once. 1t con-
tains no reference whatever to inGe.
pendence, and calls for an uncondition-
al surrender Of Aguinaldo and his
forces.
All round Malolos white flags are be-
ing waved by groups OF natives and
deselters from Aguinaldo's army.
Macarthur is allowing all such to come
within the lines. but is insisting On
close inspection. to prevent treachery.
1t IS believed that the rebels will
make fight at Mariquina, near Ma
Mia, where a clash between Halls
troops and the ,ebels took place the
other day. This would please the
Americans, as IL is believed decisive
battle could be secured. From the re-
ports of deserters who are pouring into
the American lines at Malolos, Aguin-
aldo has but small force left, and his
control is visibly impaired.

BOLD STREET ROBBERY.
Sack Containing Sc, 800 Stolen From an
Express Messenger.

Sack Containing 81, 800 Stolen From an
Express Messenger.
San Francisco, April 3.-One of the
boldest and most daring robberies in
the annals of San Francisco was com.
mitted yesterday in front of Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s express office, on Sec
ond street, when a sack containing
$4,000 in gold coin was stolen from
the seat of an express wagon belonging
to Jos. N. Fl. Waters, while the lat.
ter was engaged in conversation by a
stranger.
Waters was carrying the coin from
the Anglo California bank to the ex-
press Office for shipment to Morris
Bros. at Chino, Cal. The perso'
who aocosted Waters asked him the
cation of the Grand hotel. Water
was tying his horse at the time, but
gave the desired information. On
turning again to his wagon, he saw
that the money had been taken.
Waters has been engaged in carrying
the coin of the Anglo California and
other large banking concerns for more
than 80 years, and no suspicion at.
taches to him.

A FILIPINO CREW.
Arrived In Portland. Arc Natives
of the Island of Luzon.

Something of interest at this particu-
lar time is the fact that the sailors and
coal passers on the Monmouthshire,
which has recently arrived in Portland,
Or, are Filipinos. On shipboard
they are known as Manila men, and
regarded as good sailors as ever went
before a mast. They are not unlike
the Mongolians, and in fact bear so
much resem blance to them that one
not otherwise informed would put
them down for queueless sons of the
Flowery Kingdom or subjects of the
Island Empire. Some Of them have
been with the steamer for long time,
and understand English fairly we'll,
besides being we'll versed in Spanish.
They are fully cognizant of the fact
that war is now raging between their
countrymen and the United States, and
believe Aguinaldo undoubtedly a good
man." to use the exact words of one of
them. Another said it was no telling
where the fight will end or who will
get the upper hand. In speaking of the
trouble. they are little conservative,
which is not at all surprising, con-
sidering the fact that they are strangers
in strange land and under particu-
larly strange circumstances. Although
much like the Mongolians in appear
ance the two people differ much in
habits and general makeup. Ruled by
firm hand. yet not too severe, the
Filipinos prove good workmen, always
willing to perform their share of the
duties assigned them, and in case ol
trouble they can always be relied upon
to uphold the side of their superior.
This First Officer Kennedy has learned
through years of experience.

Agriculture in Alaska.

Professor Georgeson, of the agricul-
tural department, accompanied by @.
II. Robson and II. d. Nelson, is on
his way to Alaska, where he will test
the agricultural possibilities of that
section. Stations will be established
at Sitka, Kadiak and Kenai, and grains,
grasses and vegetables will be planted.
Professor Georgeson is convinced
from the results of his experiments last
year that the climate and soil of Alaska
are very favorable for agriculture.

HIS ARMY BROKEN.
AguinaldO's Men Scattered and His
Power Gone

Manila. April 3.-Aguinaldo's army
is broken. There are many deserters.
and that means that his power is for
ever gone. The rebels will now be-
come bandits, fighting guerrilla waH-
fare from the mountains.
The American troops are In fine
spirits. in spite of the terrible heat.
They are resting today ataMalolos, pre-
vious to pressing forward.
The details Of the capture of the
town are interesting. The Americans
camped all night. and council of war
was held by the commanding officers.
1t was the general belief that the
enemy was 10000 strong, but the re-
sistance was nominal, and the losses
light. Colonel Funston, of the Kan.
sas volunteers, dashed up to the barri-
cade in the principal thorough fare
with his men and charged it. yelling,
"Give 'em hell" He was the first to
enter the city. After the Kansas men
came the Montana regiment. These
troops rescued Cinnamon about to be
murdered by the rebels, and put out
fires set by the Filipinos.
The city is desolate today, but over
it floats Old Glory, and in its streets
are tired but happy American soldiers.
Aguinaldo's palace was burned, and
his government is a wreck. His plan
is to burn everything as he flies.
Prisoners say that Malolos citizens
begged the insurgents to surrender to
the Americans, but these were shot by
Aguinaldo's orders.
All the prisoners say that misrepre.
sentations were made to them about
the Americans. Papers and orders
found in Malolos show that the insur-
gents had been told that Otis, Hale
and the others were killed, and the
United States troops terribly demolal-
lied.
Twenty-Five Spaniards, picked up by
the army transport Roanoke, off San
Fabian, after escape from the rebels,
say the natives are suffering from
scarcity of food, and fear the American
warships will she'll the coast towns.
The Americans hope to force a de.
cisive battle at Calumpit or at a point
not further than that from Malolos.
The American commissioners are de.
laying their proclamation till the rebel.
can be cornered and whipped.
Chinese residents of Malolos were
panic-stricken, but were uuieted by
the Americans. They say the main
army of the rebels retreated to Calum-
pit, Wednesday. leaving only enough
behind to make show of resistance.

land, B. c., is being put into shape
for the shipment of 800 tons per day.
At the 600 foot level the ore runs from
$40 30 to $2S. 10; at 700 feet, from $l4
to SIT, and the 900-foot level will soon
be opened up. while new veins at lesser
depths have been cut. Three hund red
tons daily, the output proposed. at an
average of SIT, would yield profit OF
about 5000 day.

Paris, April 4. 4.-Agoncillo. the agent
of Aguinaldo, in the course of an inter-
view published today in La Patrie,
says:
1.-THE capture of Maloloss lis not as i'm
portant as the Americans are trying to
make it appear. The Filipino govern
ment had already determined on re-
moval to San Fernando, and small
detachment of troops was left with or
ders to burn the town, and thus to
draw the Americans inland.
1.-TWO months of rain and fever will
save the Filipinos their ammunition
and good deal of trouble, and the
war will not end while single Fill
pino remains to bear arms. h"
Agoncillo charges Major General
Otis with opening the hostilities, and
holds the Americans responsible for
the transfer of the Spanish prisoners
and for preventing the Fiipinos nego.
tiating treaty with Spain.
Agoncillo is confined to his room
with the Influenza.

For KOtzebue Sound.

The first vessel to leave for points
north of st. Michaels this year will be
the bark Alaska. She will sail from
San Francisco for Golovin bay. Port
Clarence and Kotzebue sound about
May /. and on her return trip will
probably bring the first authentic
news from those points. Over 500
gold miners wintered on the rivers
emptying into Kotzebue sound, but
since the return of the Alaska last year
not word has been heard from them.
They were we'll supplied with provi-
sons and the only anxiety regarding
them is in regard to their success or
failure in locating deposits of gold.

steamer. The Eau Sang, which was in
Portland few days ago, brought about
half hundred men and women bound

Monmouthshire comes in with lot of
another hundred, making total Of

Beef Market on the Yukon.

The great beef trust which sold meat
at Dawson for $l.50 per pound last
year is now almost forgotten and prices
are about as low as they are in the
states. The poorest beef sells at 15
cents and the best at % cents per
pound to the quarter. One thing that
has forced down. the prices is the order
that all beef that is not kept in refrig-
orators by May will be condemned
and must be thrown away. There are
no refrigerators at Dawson, and none
in course of construction, SO that the
prices will probably 60 still lower.

Americans Resting,

Manila, April 4.-The American
troops under General Macarthur are
still resting at Malolos. where every
thing has been quiet today. Hostili-
ties elsewhere. so far as officially re-
ported, have been limited during the
last "a hours to an occasional exchange
of shots between the insurgents and
the troops forming the lines of General
Lawton and General Hall, extending
from the waterworks to La Lonia. But
this shooting has been just active
enough to make the lives of the SOL
diers burden and to compel the Off
GERS to sleep in trenches, clothed, and
in readiness to repel possible attacks.
