GiIsum.


Louis Castor, who murdered his wife at
Keene, has been seen and fed several times

woman. He waited until the arrival of
the parents and ate supper with the fam
lily.
In the afternoon the children, who had
been alarmed by the appearance of their
uncle, told some neighbors, who notified

tor had taken to the woods, however,

Another despatch says; Two battalions
of the Washington troops, under Col.
Whalley, on board cascoes, were towed
from Pasig to Morong on Sunday and
landed under cover of we'll directed fire
from the little army gunboats Napidan
and Covadunga. The rebels who were
intrenched in the outskirts of the town, re-
served their fire until the troops were
ashore and in the open. The American ar
tillery opened fire on the insurgents and
drove them from their position, killing
nine of them and wounding five. The
Washington troops then took the town,
the rebels fleeing to the hills. While the
Americans were on their way to Morong
the insurgents opened fire from shore
battery at Ancona, their first shot striking
the Covadunga's awning aft at a range of
$500 yards.

The Insurgents Escape
From the Trap Set ny the Americans,
But They sustain Heavy Loss and
Several OF Their village Are Taken.

Gen. Lawton began on Saturday a gen
eral movement to the west of Manila
against Gen. Pho del Pillars force of rebels
in the foot hills. The object was to drive
the Filipinos into the Morong peninsula,
where escape would have been impossible,
but in this the Americans were not sue
cessful. owing to the rough character of
the country. The rebels escaped to the
northward. The movement occupied all of
Saturday and Sunday, the rebels being
driven out of the country between Laguna
de Bay on the south, and Antipolo, in the
mountains, to the north the latter place
being captured by Gen. Halls column Sun
day. Col. Wholley's column advanced
from the Pasig and took Camta and Tay-
tay. After the capture of Antipolo Sun
day Cen Hall moved against Morong.
The columns of Gen. Hall and Col.
Wholley connected at Taytay Sunday.
Gen. Halls losses during his march were
FIVE men killed and nine wounded.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1899-06-09

The American forces under Gen. Law
ton have occupied the Morong peninsula,
but they found it impossible to form a cor
don, and most of the insurgents escaped.
Scores of Gen. Halls men were Frustrated
by heat during the march from Santa Te-
resa to Morong.
The insurgents have burned the town of
Macabebe, the inhabitants of which were
friendly to the United States. Nightly at
tacks upon the American lines at San Fer
nando are made by the rebels.
Lieut.. Fred w. Pearce, of the Sixth ar
tillery, committed suicide at Manila Tues
day. 1t is said his mind was affected by a
recent sunstroke. He had been on duty at
Iloio and over stayed his leave of absence
at Manila. When ordered back he made
no reply and his arrest followed.

Gen Hall encountered no resistance in
his march from Antipolo to Morong,
through Teresa. The inhabitants did not
leave the latter town, but met the Ameri-
cans, representing themselves ss friends.
\ large number OF natives passed through
the American lines returning to Antipolo.
| Gen Halls march was very difficult.
There were many cases of prostration by
| heat.
The brigade arrived at Morong Monday,
and found that Col. Whalley had captured
the town the day before, killing 1913 ma
tives. The tinclads Napindam and Cova-
dunga shelled the place and were answered
by an artillery fire. A shell passed through
the Covadunga. The Washington regi-
ment on a scouting party lost one killed
and wounded and killed one officer and
four men of the insurgents. Halls brigade
remains at Morong to receive rations and
Col. Whalley returns to Pasig.
