Aguinaldo's Fierce Policy.
Manila, March 20, s:2O a. pL---it Ia
reported on hitherto reliable authority
that Aguinaldo is taking extreme meas
ures to suppress signs calculated to cause
cessation OF hostilities. Twelve adher-
ents of the plan Of independence, residents
OF Manila, have been condemned to heath
because they wrote advising surrender and
all loyal Filipinos have been called upon
to perform the national service of dis
patching them.
On Friday last General La Garda visit
ed Labordes for the purpose of advising
Aguinaldo to quit. He argued with the
insurgent leader and attempted to con.
vince him of the folly of his persistence
in the face of overwhelming odds. Ag-
uinaldo was furious at the advice and or
dered Genernl La Garda to be executed
Immediately. The unfortunate general
was promptly decapitated.
A Cool Warrington Company.
Among the incidents OF yesterdays
| fighting was the coolness exhibited by
company Of the Washington volunteers
who crossed the river in q native canoe
under heavy fire, l5 being taken across
on each trip of the small boat, to attack
the enemy's trenches.
The inability Of the commissary train
to keep up with the advance led to ccnsid-
erable suffering, and many Of the men
were completely exhausted when they
were recalled, and, falling from the ranks,
were strung along for distance Of almost
six miles; numbers returning TO camp in
artillery ambulances, which we're always
close up to the lines. The work of the
ambulances was especially worthy OF
mention.
