The PhiIipinos are Making a Oesper-

 Washington, May s.-The,, de- partment officials are more en0our- aged over the conditions in Manila. The report of General Otis indi- cstes the A merican troops are we'll disposed. It is evident the insurg- ents ope rating in the swsmps and jungles east of General MscArthur have been very annoying, but the army gunboats made it too hot for them to remain. General Lawton appears to be pushing northward.
 The army gunbosts which started up San Fernando river for Guagua yesterday returned today, General MacArthur having failed to connect with the expedition. The gunboats found the rebels entrenched at Sas- moan and Gsugua on the water fronts of the towns. The vessels steamed past the works smelling the occupants and driving them out. Landing parties from the boats en- tered both towns capturing at Sas- moan Spanish captain in uniform who was ostensibly prisoner in the hands of the insurgents and also native offirar
 The Filipinos surprised the Unit ed States forces at San Fernando with a daring trick yesterday. A railway train with an engine at each end was run almost to the American outposts and in plain sight of the town. Before it could be reached a gang of natives sprang from the train, tore up lengths of Hallway track, boarded the train again and steamed away so quickly there was no opportunity to capture the raiders.

Giving insurgents No Rest.

Washington, May i The war de- pertinent has received the following: Lswton holds Baliuar, captured on the second instant, after 6 rapid movement from Angat, where his supplies are with a wagon train. pack animals and Tations. He scat tered the strongly entrenched enemy to the north and northwestward, capturing large amounts of food supplies and has detachments to the north and east. This successful movement was attended with great difficulty because of the character of oi the country, rain and hail. He now covers our railway communics- tion and will be supplied from Nal olos. MscArthur's column, con centrated, took up an advance on San Fernando at 6:30 this morning. They do Lot apprehend a sharp re- sistsnce by the enemy, who will probably leave the railroad and re- tire in northeasterly direction to the north of Lawton. The destruc
 tion of the railroad near Calumpit necessitates dependence on wagon transportation. The enemy to the south and east of Manila is nine thousand strong, opposed by suffic- ient force under Overshine and Hall, and its demonstrations have thus far been properly met by these officers, with slight losses. Many from the outside cities are requesting protec- ton. OTls.

The process of sending pictures by
telegraph has been so perfected that
newspapers in various sections OF the
country are now using it in illustrating
current events happening thousands OF
miles distant. The sending of such
pictures is accomplished by machine
with cylindar covered with tinfoil on
which the picture is traced in minute
dots. over which needle point trav-
els, very like the dots and needle OF
photograph. This needle touches
every part Of the picture. The receiv-
ing instrument is identical with the
transmitter, only the cylinder is Gov
cred with white, overaid by carbon
paper. The current actuated by the
transmitting needle instantly actuates
the receiving instrument and an exact
copy is reproduced. Necessarily these
delicate machines must be synchro'
nize1, or in harmony. The teledla'
graph is the invention of E. A. Ham
nell, of st. Paul, Mimi, and as it is
being daily used by prominent jour
nails with entire success, it must be
considered commercially practical. Ii
fact, the recent $40 to 81 dinners o.
Crocker and Bryan could have beer
illustrated in the San Francisco, pa
pers before they actually occurred by
means of this wonderful invention.
