MAssING NEAR CALUMPlT.
Aguinaldo's Men are Again strongly In
trenChed.

Washington, April 6-The following
advices have been received from Ma
Mia, under date of April 8: The in
surgents are massing strong forces
north of Calumpit, about five and one
half miles northwest OF Malolos, and

connoitering parties, they have fine in
trenchments there.
1t is expected that hard fighting Will
be necessary TO dislodge them at that
point and at San Fernando, where

rivers strengthen both positions.

W AIRS VICTIM s.
Over Three Hundred of Uncle Sans Heroes
Laid to Rest.

Washington, April s.-With full
honors of war, upon the crest of the
southern slope of Arlington cemetery,
the nation, represented by President
Mckinley, his cabinet and other high
dignitaries of the government, the
commanding general of the army and
other distinguished officers, all the
regular and militia organizations of
the district, and vast concourse of
1900 people, paid the last tender
tribute of honor and respect to the
bodies of $40 officers and men who gave
their lives on distant battletields for
their country during the Spanish
American war. The scene was most
imposing one. After the last religious
and military rites to the dead heroes
was over the work of actual interment
began. As each of the caslets weighs
almost 500 pounds and requires eight
men to handle it, it will be two or
three days before all the bodies are in
their graves.

War Far From Ended.

Hongkong, April 12.-Though hun
dreds of Filipinos are daily returning
to their homes and are desirous of re-
suming peaceful pursuits, and though
the proclamation issued by the United
States Philippine commission has given
an impulse to this movement, the war
is far from ended. One of the fore
most American generals said recently;
1--WE will see hundred thousand
soldiers IN the Philippines before the
Americans control the islands," and a
majority of the army are of his opinion.

Washington, March G.-The follow
advces have been received Mt the war
department from Manila, under date of
April 4:
General Macarthur reconnoitered in
force this morning with the Montana
regiment, the Fourth cavalry and two
guns of the Utah light artillery, as far
as the river north OF Malolos. The re-
connoissance developed the fact that
there are fully 1000 rebels armed with
Mauser rifles preparing for defence.
Shots were exchanged and two of the
Montana regiment were wounded, but
there was no engagement, Later in
the day General Macarthur moved
northward, as the water supply of
Malolos is inadequate.
The belief is spreading among the
residents here that the effect of the
capture of Malolos, the former rebel
capital, followed by the proclamation
of the Philippine commission, will bt

point caused the stream to overflow,
drowning four persons. Eight more
are missing; three spans of the steel
bridge are washed out. causing a loss
of s25 900; the Northen Pacific tracks
are inundated and possibly washed
away for some distance, and the loss to

Reagan, her niece; Miss Rose Wybrecht,
visitor to the Snyder ranch; Eugene
L. O'Connor. The missing are: James
sullivan, wife and six children
The ice began moving at 1880 o'clock
in the evening, and continued to flow
until 9:30, when it formed a gorge.
The Snyder party, noticing the back
water, started for the Northern Pa
cific tracks, hoping thus to escape
drowning, but before they covered half
the distance the water was waist deep
and they took refuge in tree. O'Con-
nor was the first to be washed from
the tree, Mrs. Snyder the second and
Miss Wybrecht third. A huge piece of
ice struck the tree and broke it it two,
