Desperate Encounters suu Continue with
Rebels Rctreating.

Rebels hctrentihE.
A dispatch to The New York Herald
from Manila, Tuesday, says:
"The gunboat LaGuna dc Bay at
tackled the insurgents at Bulacan.
Three Americans were wounded.
"MacArthur's division has crossed
the Mariao river and is advancing
northward.
"The insurgents attacked the Amer
leans last evening at Marilao, but were
repulsed with severe loss Our loss
was five killed and fourteen wounded. "
General MacArthur's division spent
Monday night and Tuesday morning at
Meycauayan, the next station beyond
Polo. After accommodating his front
he pushed along the railroad Tuesday
afternoon toward Malolos.
II the statement Of thirty-fve pris-
oners captured is true, the main body
of the enemy has retreated to Malolos.
But there are no more trenches to en-
counter, although over thirty villages,
including the larger settlements OF
Bulacan and Gudguinto, intervene.
At every railroad station circulars
have been posted, signed by the Fill
pino commander-in-chief, Antonio
Luna, ordering all spies and bearers
Of news to the enemy to be shot with
out trial and instructing that all loot
ers and ravishers be treated in the
same manner. Further, all towns
abandoned by the Filipino troops are
first to be burned.
While dcploring the existence Of
war, the circular maintains the unde
niable right of the Filipinos to defend
their homes, lives and lands against
"would-be dominators who would xii
them, their wives and children" add
ing that this motive ought to impel al
Filipinos to sacrifice everything.
The Smelling of Paranaque was no
premeditated. The turret ship Monad
mock anchored off the town and the in
surgents, emboldened by the long sill
ence of the warships on guard duty
opened fire on her with muskets, wit
the result that one man was kille,
and three were wounded The Monad
mock then destroyed half the town, in
Guiding the church.

THIRD GEORGIA COMES HOME
THE REGIMENT WILL DE MUS.
TERED OUT AT AUGUSTA.
LANDED At SAVANNAH FROM CUBA
Whole Regiment Went Through Process
of EumIgatlon nc the Quarantine
Station.

General Carpenter telegraphed from
Cuba to the war department Saturday
thai the Third Georgia United States
volunteers, with 46 officers, 921 men,
81 civilian employees and Is horses,
sailed from Neuvitas for Savannah at
o'clock Saturday morning on the
transport Logan.
After an uneventful voyage the To-
gan reached the Savannah quarantine
station, at 1890 o'clock Sunday, aud
there it stopped so that the men might
90 through with the process required
of all passengers from Cuba, namely,
fumigation.
The most interesting feature in con-
nection with the return of the Third
Georgia, so far as has yet been learn
ed, is that the regiment, contrary to
all expectations, will be mustered out
at Augusta, instead of Savannah or
Griffin. This was decided upon and
will be done at the request of Colonel
Robert L. Berner, who said he would
prefer to have his regiment taken to
Augusta to remaining in Savannah.
Four of the volunteer regiments go
to Augusta-the second South Caro-
lima, part of which is already there,
the Third Georgia, the Fourth Vir-
ginia and the Second Illinois. Eight
others to be brought back Will be mus
tered out in Savannah.
The Work of Distinction.
The Third Georgia regiment was
unloaded at once on the arrival of the
Logan and the work of disinfectine
the men was begun. They had to re-
move their clothing, put it all into one
big pot and have the disintectinq
gases run through it. When the pro.
cess to which the officers, even the
colonel, are subjected as we'll as the
men was completed, the regiment
was hurried up to the city as rapidly
as possible.
The Georgians are in excellent con
dition and there is no sickness among
them. The fumigation, however, is {
matter of precaution taken in all cases
and to which all troops will have t.
submit.

Verdict of Coroner's Jury Regarded as
Grewsome Joke.
A dispatch of Friday from Texar-
kama, Ark, says; Details of the whole
sale lynchings reported to have oc-
Cured in Little River county are slow
in coming in. Three more dead ne
groes have been found in Red river
bottoms between New Boston, Tex. /,
and Rocky Comfort Ark. two Of them

been hanged or shot to death. The
third body was stripped entirely naked
when found.
A justice of the peace held an in
quest over these bodies and a verdict
was returned by the jury declaring
that the men "came to their death
from natural causes or were frozen to
death" The verdict is regarded as q
grewsome joke.

the time of the fire there we're twenty
one people in the house.
The fire originated in the front room
on the first floor of the building. A

ROOSEVELT GIVES A ROAST.
Governor Testifies That Beef Furnished
Was Unfit For Use.


The army court of inquiry investi-
eating the charges made by General
Miles that the beef furnished the SOL
diers in the Cuban and Porto Rican
campaigns was unfit for use, convened
in New York City Saturday.
Before the hearing began Major Lee
said he believed Governor Roosevelt
would be the only witness heard.
Upon his arrival Governor Roose-
welt shook hands with several members
of the court, and then took the stand,
after Colonel Davis had administered
the oath. The governor described the
organization of the Rough Riders at
San Antonio, Texas, and told of the
issuance of rations.
"When was the first complaint you
heard of the rations?" asked Colonel
Davis.
"May answer that in my own
way?" asked the governor.
Certainly"
"Well, it was aboard ship at Tampa,
I saw a man-think his name was Ash
Il know he came from kentucky,
throwing away can of the so-called
roast beef I asked what was the
matter, and he said he could not eat
it. I told him not to be a baby, and
that he did not volunteer for a good
time, and ought to be able to eat what
came. I thought no more of the mat
ter until heard that complaints were
being made on all sides. Then made
inquiries, and was told that the roast
beef was part of the regular ration, and
that only the volunteers were com
planning.

BRYAN-BELMONT INCIDENT
May Cause Serious and Permanent Split
In Democratic Party.

May Cause Serious and Permanent Split
In Democratic Party.
A Washington dispatch says: "The
fear is prevalent among democrats here
that the Bryan-Belmont incident will
make permanent the split in the dem
ocratic party. 1t was generally be-
lieved that the gold men who left the
party to the support of Palmer and
Buckner in 1896, would return to the
democratic ranks and act with the
democratic organizations in 1900,
doing what they could, however, to
subordinate the silver issue to other
questions.
"Both sides which have shown some
spirit of compromise and willingness
at least to try to join issues, are
greatly disturbed on account of this
incident"

TO CRUSH AGUINALDO.
Otis Is Preparing for His Final Advance
Upon FilipinOs.

Otis Is Preparing for His Final Advance
Upon FilipinOs.
Tt is understood at Washington
that General Otis has so far matured
his plans of campaign that within
week or ten days he will be able to be-
gin the movement which is expected
to mark the destruction of Aguinaldo's
army.
Although stragglers and fugitives
may infest the army of Luzon for some
time, it is believed that after Otis has
delivered his next blow the insurgent
army, as an organization, will have
ceased to exist.
The new movement. will be, it is
understood, by q combined land and
water attack, though it is not expect
ed that the naYy's part in The program
will be particularly prominent.
Otis has procured thirteen of the
Spanish gunboats formerly owned by
the Spanish government, and these
are to play an important part in the
development Of the campaign.

SPAIN WILL SEND AGENT.

Diplomatic Relations VIII Be Again Es-
tablished At Early Date.
Much interest attaches in Washing
ton to the report in diplomatic circles
that diplomatic relations between this
country and Spain will be resumed at
a very early date.
The rule has been for lengthy pc
Rod to elapse between ratification of
peace treaties and the reappointments
of diplomatic agents to represent the
recently contending powers. The
custom has sprung largely from pique
and an impression that a prompt re-
sumption Of diplomatic relations would
be inconsistent with the dignity Of the
defeated country.

PRESIDENT VISITS FLORIDA.
Speaker Reed Also Drawn To Resorts In
Land of Flowers.

Speaker Reed Also Drawn To Resorts In
Land of Flowers.
President Mckinley and quite a
large party left Thomasville Friday
for a flying trip to Tallahassee, Fla.
The president heard a good deal of
Tallahassee, largely through President
Frank Thomson of the Pennsylvania
railroad, who has a place there, and
as the distance is only about sixty
miles, through a rather interesting
country, he decided to visit the an
cient capital.
A special train was provided by the
Plant system, including two Pullmans,
an extra coach and baggage car.
At Tallahassee the party was re-
ceived by Governor Bloxham and a
local committee. The town had been
deliberately decorated in honor of the
president. Statutes were fired, an es-
cort provided, a regular program car
ried out and the visit was more of o
ceremonious affair than any feature of
the present southern trip.
Speaker Reed left Jekyl Island Fri
day morning for trip to the Florida
resorts, and was scheduled to arrive a
few hours ahead of the presidential
party.
The fact that Speaker Reed went to
Florida was the occasion of much sur
prise to every one. 1t has set the
politicians guessing again.

.BIG VICTORY over REBELS
AGUINALDO's ARMY WAS BADLY
ROUTED BY AMERICANS.
.GEN. OTIS LOSSES WERE HEAVY
rhe Onslaught Was Fierce and Furious
and Rebel Losses Reach Into the
Hundreds,

O. The New York World prints the fol-
lowing Manila cable under date of
March 24th
ga sweeping victory over Aguinal-
dos forces has just been won by the
United States troops.
"The total American loss is esti-
mated at about 100, including both the
killed and wounded.
THE Filipino loss is between 300
and 400"
A dispatch received at Washington
from Manila states that the enemy are
extremely active in the vicinity of
Malabon preparing defenses, evidently
anticipating an attack. They keep
we'll under cover. A small body of
rebels, however, emerged from the
Jungle on the extreme left Friday
and fred upon the Kansas troops in
the trenches, fatally wounding Private
Cohen, of company B, and Private
Muser, of company E.
The Oregon volunteers and the
Twenty-second regulars marched tc
the front Friday. The Third and Sew
enteenth regiments have disembarked
from the Sherman. General H. g.
Otis's brigade struck their tents Fri
day morning, and an early move il
probable.
Sixteen English refugees arrived
from Dagupan, the railroad terminus
on board the steamer Saturnus. They
report that the natives are generally
friendly, and the officers invariably
courteous.
Mr.. Higgins, manager of the rail
road, and about dozen unmarried
men in charge of various business in
terests declined to take advantage 0
the opportunity to leave. Nothing
has been heard from the two American
planters at Calumpit since hostilitie
began.
According to Filipino accounts,
thousand Americans have been killed
the fatalities being especially heavy a
CaloocaD, where the United State
troops rushed like madmen agains
o storm of bullets"
Two Spanish prisoners, who hav
escaped from Polo to the lines of til
Kansas regiment, report that the Fill
pinos have concentrated their forces a
Malabon and Polo. They add that onl
Aguinaldo's body guard is at Malolos
and that the rebel leaders apparentl
intend to stake their fortunes on
fight at Malabon, where it was expect
ed an engagement would take plac
Friday. If defeated, it is furthe
asserted, the rebels intend to dispers
to the swamps and mountains.
The rebels were putting their bolc
in front, believing that the bolosmen
charms will avert the bullets. Th
bolos of the Filipinos greatly outnun
Der the rifles in their hands. Th
rebels are further said to have admi
ted that they could not stand til
American shells and bayonet charge
The escaped Spaniards corroborate
the stories told of food shortage anon
the rebels, and they added that the
hospitals are short of supplies.
