has been on the fighting line. Just where
it Is located cannot be ascertained from

Corbin explains that it is the First North
Dakota which probably is with King

used with such recklessness. When Gen.
Greene was in the Philippines he went
to the Filipino camps and remained some
time among them. His report to the
president shows that the Filipinos OBJ
tained quite a large supply of arms and
ammunition when Dewey captured Ca
Vfte, and that they had heretofore OBJ
tanned a supply of Remingtons and Mau-
sers. Gen. Greene also found that the
F1liplnos had established a factory for
the manufacture of ammunition for these
rifles, and this factory probably is still
In operation and furnishing sufficient
supply to the insurgents.
A short time ago the Zealandia and
Puebla left San Francisco with the Ninth
infantry. bound to Manila. BY the 1st
or April four transports are expected to
arrive at San Francisco from Manila, and
they will return with renforcements for
Gen. Otis the 18th of that month. The
Hancock will take the Twenty-frst in
fantry; the Warren eight batteries of
the Sixth artillery and recruits; the
Newport 25O marines and recruits, and
the Morgan City six companies of the
thirteenth infantry. A little later the
Oh1o will arrive and return with the re-
mainder of the Thirteenth infantry. The
Senator is also expected later in the
month and can take 1000 men.
The use Of Chinese as litter bearers is
said to be a device to save our own men
Tor the more serious work. The Chinese
carry light bamboo litter, and, being
accustomed to the climate, they can
travel twice as far as an unacclimated
carrier The main point, however, is
that the fighting force is kept intact.
AMERICAN CASUALTY LIST.
While the casualty list is a source Of
profound regret in army circles, it is
said to be comparatively low, consider
ing the number of men engaged and the
duration Of the action. This is accounted
Tor by the long range shooting of the in
surgenfs, who do not shoot at a mark,
but in the general direction of our forces.
While these stray. bullets do considerable
damage In our lines, it is far less than
the results of close range volleys from
solld ranks of insurgents in the open, or
from considerable number of sharp
shooters.
war department officials say that the
position Of those Spaniards who are cap
tured by the United States forces when
hght1ng with the Filipinos will have to be
considered by the president before any
determination can be reached. At pres
ent Gen. Otis has full plenary powers in
the philippines, and the war department
does not seek to interfere with his man
agement of the campaign in any way.
1T Is believed, however, until the presi-
dent considers the matter, such pris-
oners Will be held as prisoners of war.
The war department officials have no
knowledge of Prince Loewenstein, who
was killed at Manila yesterday There Is
no record showing that he has authority
to go with the army as a representative
Oh foreign government, or in any 9TH
er capacity. 1t is said that he had en-
listed In the regular army, but there is
nothing In the war department to show
1t. Secretary Hay, of the state depart
ment, knew Loewenstein in England,
where he was married In 1897 He was
or rowing disposition. and went to the
Philippines In a spirit of adventure

NEW YORK, March 27.-(SpeciaL)-A
special cablegram from Manila describes
the heroic action of Lieut.. Maurice G.
Krayenbuhl, whose death is reported to-
day by Gen. Otis, at time when he
saved a portion Of the American line from
destruction. 1t was at the battle of
Malate, when the Spanish attacked the
American trenches. The cablegram says:
The Tenth Pennsylvania regiment was
In the trenches and the business-like fir
ing Of the Spaniards led the Pennsyl
vanians to reply when they need not
have done so. Trouble followed, which
led the volunteers to think that they
were whipped. The Tenth Pennsylvania
lost seven men killed and thirty-nine
wounded and six more men were killed
and eight wounded In other organiza-
tions.
The Pennsylvanians ran short Of am
munition and fixed bayonets to await
what was to come. They were completely
ratified before their ammunition was ex-
hausted and had ceased volley fire and
were firing haphazard. Where the Pasig
road turns off from the Gamma, Lieut.
Krayenbuhl was posted with the first
platoon of Battery K, Third United
States artillery, serving as infantry. The
second platoon of the battery under Sec
ond Lieutenant Kessler was some dis
tance away.
'sThe artillerymen's orders were not to
act unless there was a pinch. When
Krayenbuhl heard the disorganiZed firing
of the pennsylvanians he decided that
there was a pinch, and he hastened for
ward with his men, sending word to
Kessler to come up also. Reaching the
Pennsylvaniens, he jumped in among
them with his revolver drawn and threat
ened to shoot the first man who fired
without orders.
steady volley fire, and at the first vol
ley the Pennsylvanians taking new heart,
cheered with a vim and fell into order
again and the day was saved Rein
forcements had already been sent for, the
messenger reaching Gen. Greene almost
beside himself, and for time unable to
tell clear story beyond repeating: We
are whipped
Gen. Greene sent word for the Raleigh
to take position to engage, upon signal,
the Malate battery, but the signal never
was given. The regulars, the first ones
taken in by Krayenbuhl, and others
coming up promptly had made the aid OF
the warship unnecessary"

MANILA, March 27.-The retreat of the
Filipinos has virtually become rout.
That Aguinaldo has taken immediate
command is regarded by Americans as
realization by the insurgents of their
desperate position, and it is probable the

three officers, and forty were wounded.
The American forces advanced from
Maycauyan, the brigade commanded by
Gen. Harrison Gray Otis being ON the left
of the railroad, and Gen. EIale's on the
( right. They eventually discerned white
roofs and steeples among the green trees
beyond the river, looking not unlike
