WASHINGTON HAS LITTLE NEWS.
Officials There Indulge in Comment on the
Manila situation,

Washington, March 29-There was a
, lull yesterday in the reports from the
scene of action north of Manila which
for a time was rather mystifying to the
war department authorities. Only one
dispatch from General Otis was re-
ceived during the day dealing with the
situation at the front, and this related
to Monday afternoon. 1t was not until
the Associated Press dispatch came late
iu the day telling that the American
forces were resting beyond Marilao that
General Otis silence on yesterdays
movements was explained. After the
arduous work OF a three days fight
under a fierce tropical sun, through rice
swamps and jungles. it was expected
by the authorities here that Macarthur
would conserve the energies of his men
by a halt long enough to rest and take
supplies before the final blow against
Malolos. the insurgent capital
The American advance line was yes
teTday beyond Marilao. and almost up
to the large town of Bulacan- The ex-
act distance to Malo,os is uncertain ow-
ing to the lack of information a. to just
where our troops are resting. but at
most the distance cannot be more than
ten or twelve miles on a direct line
along the railway At the rate of prog
ress made in the last two days the next
twentytour hours should bring the
American force well up to the insur-
gent capital. If. indeed. the assault upon
that place is not begun by that time.
1-he officials are disposed To allow more
t:s.le. however considering the natural
obstacles of unfordable rivers and
burned bridges. together with the sue
cessive lines OF rebel intrenchments.
Ahead os the American forces the most
serious natural obstacle yesterday was
the Bulacan river. which is in reality
an arm OF Manilc bay. about a mile
wide and very deep. and reaching
straight across the path OF the advanc-
ing American forces. But to offset this
General Otis dispatc of yesterday con-
veys the information that our small
Eunboats are in the Bulacan river
where great execution was done Mon
day. and where they will relieve the
pressure on McArthur's front. The Bull
acan may Inc the key To opening easy
access to the insurCent capital. lying
lust beyond. BulaCan is a city of i'm
portance second only to Manila and is
the capital OF the province. Ii is much
larger and stronger than the irsurgent
capital Maio.os. and with its broad and
deep river is a sort of gateway TO the

Packers Agents Deny the Story About the
.PreseryalIne."

Charles z. Smith. of Jacksonville.
Fla, who acted as agent for Armour &
Co. in the spring and summer of '9S.
testified concerning the beef delivered
to the troops at Lakeland. He said he
had been in the beef business for fifteen
years and that the beef delivered at
Lakeland was first-class. There was
nothing to indicate that it had been
treated with preservatives and there
was no coating upon it. During his con-
nection with the business there were
only two reflections of beef. and these OF
very small quantities.
Bernard F. Murtagh. also an agent
for Armour & Co. at Lakeland during
the presence of the troops. gave the de-
tails of the supply thre. He said the
beef was generally held in the cars for
three days, the cars being well iced.
About one-third of the contents of one
car had been rejected and after this the
meat was shipped in refrigerator boxes
Some of this boxed meat was also re-
jected. Both Murtagh and Smith testi-
fed that they had never known any
thing of the use of preservatives. and
both stated that Sc -Ceant Mason. who
had testified that preservatiyes had been
used. had praised the quality of the beef.

Advance.
Manila, March 20, Noon.-The
American army advanced at this
morning. sweeping onward three
miles before 10 O'Clock and driving
the rebels beyond Bocave, to the east
of Bulacan and on the railroad leading
to Malolos. Our troops met but
slight resistance. The Filipinos fired
volleys yesterday evening for the pur-
pose of drawing the American fire and
disclosing the locality of our posi-

the railway and telegraph lines and a
construction train following our

day was only to the outskirts of Ma
rilao, and it took until late in the af-
ternoon to repair the road and bridges
and send trains through with sup
plies. A rapid march was made this
morning to Rigaa, seven miles from
Malolos. The troops are in excel

vanced from Manila along the rail-
road to Rigaa. He met strong oPpo-
sition in the jungle. First one Ne

then two Montanans were killed.
Thirty-five were wounded, including
one Kansas officer. The rebels had
not finished the trenches along the
line Of today's march, showing that
they were not prepared for our adj
vance. 1t is believed, however, there
will he n hard fight before Malolos is
taken. The Minnesota regiment re-
inforced the division today, marching
from the waterworks during the
night to Manila. and going TO the
front by train.
