NATIVES WILL BE HIRED.
II FllIplhos Keep Up Guerrilla Warfare
the War Department VIII Employ
New Fighters.

Washington, April 1t is said at
the war department that Gen. Otis
will not make campaign during the
rainy season, nor is it believed that he
will at present chase the Filipinos into
the mountain Businesses of Luzon.
The officials consider it evident that
the fight that was in Aguinaldo has
been whipped out of him and it is be-
lieved he cannot hold the Filipino
army together much longer. If Gen.
Otis advises it, the war department
will approve cessation of hostilities
or further forward movement, when
little can be accomplished save
chasing the Filipinos without
definite results. A short rest will
determine whether the Filipinos
intend to keep up Guerrilla war
fare, and if so plan is already matur'
ing to meet any such condition. Ma
tives will be employed to fight the
guerrillas, and as the government can
give them better pay and afford them
greater protection than Aguinaldo,
there is no doubt about the ability to
employ natives in this way. If there
must be guerrilla fight during the
rainy season, which will soon be upon
the Philippines, the United States will
not sacrifice its troops in such war
fare, if natives can be obtained.

and there have been number of cas-
ualties among the American and
British sailors and marines. AS yet it
is impossible to estimate the number
of natives killed or injured. Mataafa
and his chiefs, constituting the pro-
visional government, continued to defy
the treaty after the arrival of
the Philadelphia The upshot was
resolution to dismiss the pro-
visional government and Admiral
Kautz issued proclamation call
ing upon Mataafa and his chiefs
to return to their homes. Ma
taafa evacuated Mulinuu, the town he
had made his headquarters and went
into TIE Tie interior. Herr Rose, the Ger
man consul at Apia, issued proclama-
tion experimenting the one he had
issued several weeks before, uphold
ing the provisional government.
Many people are leaving Samoa, the
captain of the Royalist urging them
to go, so as not to interfere with the
military operations The Porpoise
has shelled the villages east and west
of Apia and captured many boats. The
Americans and British are fighting
splendidly together, but there is a
bitter feeling against the Germans,

SEVENTY PERSONS DROWNED.
The Passenger steamer stella Founders on
the Dreaded CAsquet Rocks, Near
the Island OF AIderney.

Southampton, April 1.-The pas
senger steamer Stella, plying between
this port and the Channel islands,
crashed upon the dreaded Casquet
rocks, near the island of Alderney,
yesterday afternoon in dense fog
and foundered in ten minutes, her
boilers exploding with n tremendous
report as she went down. In spite OF
this, 1t is said, there was no panic on
board. The latest advices are that
about 20 persons were drowned. The
coasting steamer Lynx picked up 40
persons and another steamer picked
up boat containing 81 persons, in
Guiding 90 women, who escaped from
the wrecked steamer. They have been
landed here.
The Stella, which belonged TO the
London g. South western Railway COM
pany, left Southampton at noon yes
terday, conveying the first excursion
of the season to the Channel islands.
There were about 1876 passengers on
board and the crew numbered 80 men.
The weather was foggy, but all went
we'll until the afternoon, when the fog
became most dense. At four o'clock
the Casquet rocks suddenly doomed
up through the fog and the steamer
almost Immediately afterward struck
Rmidship. The captain, seeing that
the steamer was fast sinking, ordered
the lifeboats to be launched. His in
structious were carried out with the
utmost celebrity, and the women and
children were embarked in the boats.
Then the captain ordered the men to
look after themselves.
A survivor states that he and %
Others put off from the Stella in a
small boat. The sea was calm, but
there was big swirl around the
rocks. When this boat was a short
distance away from the wreck the
boilers of the Stella burst with a
terrific explosion and the vessel dis
appeared stern foremost in the sea.
The last thing the survivors saw was
the figure of the captain of the Stella
standing calmly on the bridge and
giving his last instructions The cap

INTO THE REBEL CAPITAL.
Gen. Macarthur and His Victorious Army
Entered MalolOA mt 0i3O O'Clock
Friday Morning.

Manila, March 3l-Maj. Gen. Mao
Arthur entered Malolos, the seat OF
the so.called insurgent government
at $3.50 this morning, the rebels burn
ing the city and simultaneously evac-
uating it They are now in full re"
treat toward the north, where Agui-
naldo and the cabinet have been for
two days. The army rested last night
in the Jungle about l 4 miles from Ma
lolos. The days advance began at
two o'clock and covered a distance of
about "a miles beyond the Guiginto
river, along the railroad. The brunt
of the battle was on the right of the
track, where the enemy was apparent
ly concentrated.
The First Nebraska, First South Da-
kota and Tenth Pennsylvania regi-
ments encountered them intrenched on
the border of the woods and the Ameri-
cans, advancing across the open, suf-
fered terrible fire for half an hour.
Four men of the Nebraska regiment
were killed and so were wounded.
Several men of the Dakota regiment
were wounded and one of the Pennsyl-
vanians were killed.
The Americans finally drove the Fill
ipinos back. Although there were
three lines of strong intrenchments
along the track, the enemy made
scarcely any defense there, Gen. Mac
Arthur and his staff were walking on
the track abreast of the line, with
everything quiet, when suddenly they
received shower of bullets from
sharpshooters in trees and on house
tops, but these were speedily dislodged.
The enemy's loss was apparently
small, the Jungle affording them such
protection that the Americans were
unable to see them, and In firing were
guided only by the sound of the Fill
Pine shots. The American artillery
was handicapped for the same reason,
Last nights long line of camp fires
made q beautiful sight, with the
Twentieth Kansas regiment on the
left OF Guiginto station and the Penn
sylvasla regiment On the right, beyond
the river The provision train was
delayed by broken bridges, but the
stores of grain and flocks of ducks in
the locality furnished ample forage.
The hospital work is remarkably
efficient, as it has been throughout the
whole campaign. The teIegraphers
keep abreast of the line and maintain
q constant connection with the city.

CUBAN MERCHANT MARINE.
Abe Foundation for 1t Laid by an Order
Made by President McKinley-All
Registry Fees Abolished.

Washington, April 1. President
Mckinley, by an order made public
to-day through Assistant Secretary of
War Meiklejohn, has taken the first
important action toward laying the
foundation for a purely Cuban mer-
chant marine AS an initiatory step
in that direction he has directed that
all registry fees imposed for docu-
menting foreign vessels in Cuba be
abolished. This will not only allow
the Cubans to purchase ships in the
cheapest markets of the world but
will enable them to build up carry!
ing trade which they so mach need
and which, by an onerous tax under
Spanish rule, was almost impossible.

WAS A HUMAN MONSTER.
Bates soper, Hanged ut HarrIsonvIiIe, Mo-,
for Treble InfantiCide-Had Re-
voting Crime Record.

Harrisonville, Mo-, March 30,-Ed-
ward Bates Soper was hanged in the
Cass county Jail here this morning at
six o'clock. The crime for which he
paid the penalty with his life was the
murder of his wife and two children
at Archie, 10 miles south of here, on
April 81, 1891. Soper was monster
in human guise, He had known it
ever since he attained the age of
reason, and when the moose was placed
about his neck it was the happiest mo-
ment of life in which he had been a
horsethief, a convict a parricide, an
uxoricide and a treble infanticide.
The first shocking crime of which
Soper was guilty was the killing of
his father near Kearney, Clay county,
in $780, For many years it was not
known who committed the murder,
but recently Soper admitted that he
did it.
