ACTIVITY AMONG REBELS.
Movements Near Angeles Giving the
War Department Concern.

The recent activity of the insurgents
near Angeles is regarded at the War De-
partment as far from encouraging. An
geles is the most northern parish occupied
by the American troops. and is only thirty
five miles from Manila. The insurgents
are strongly entrenched at Tarlac only
three miles from the American lines.
Angeles was captured by General MacAr-
thurs troops after two days hard fight
ing, and il is regarded as doubtful If he
has sufficient force TO hold the town and
push on TO Tarlac. Regarding the ditching
of a train by the insurgents near Angeles
early Friday morning, General Otis yester
day cabled the War Department as fol-
lows:
Adiutant General, Washington:
Insurgents succeeded in derailing section OF
train Yesterday short distance from Angeles. Then
made attack on railway guards Result, Captain
Perry quarternaster, slightly wounded in arm;
Private Charles Ziemans, Hospital Corps, killed;

Price, slightly wounded, and unknown civilian
killed Insurgents driven, leaving six dead in
their tracks and troops Immediately sent IN

eeived:

FIGHTING IN SAMOA.
AMERICAN AND BRITISH WAR
SHIPS BOMBARD VILLAGES.
NataafM's Forces, Who Have Had the ONE
LAI support of the German Govern
msnt, Attack the United States
and British Consulates-

Auckland, n. H., March 31.-Latest
reports from Apia are to the effect
that the troubles growing out Of the
election of king of Samoa have taken
. more serious turn and resulted in
the bombardment of native villages
along the shore by the United States
cruiser Philadelphia, Admiral Kautz
commanding, and the British cruisers
Porpoise and Royalist. The lombard
ment has continued internationally for
eight days Several villages have been
burned, and there have been a num-
Der of casualties among the American
and British sailors and marines. AS
yet 1t is impossible to estimate the
number of natives killed or injured.
As Mataafa and his chiefs, consti-
tuting the provisional government,
continued to defy the treaty after the
arrival of the Philadelphia, Admiral
Kautz summoned the various consuls
and the senior naval officers to con-
ference on board the Philadelphia,
when the whole situation was careful
ly canvassed. The upshot was reso-
luton to dismiss the provisional gov
eminent, and Admiral Kautz issued
proclamation calling on Mataafa and
his chiefs to return to their homes.
Mataafa evacuated Mulinuu, the town
he had made his headquarters, and
went into the interior.
Herr Rose, the German consul at
Apia, issued proclamation supple
menting the one he had issued several
weeks before, unfolding the provision
al government. AS result of this the
Mataafans assembled in large force
and hammered in the town. The Brit
ish cruiser Royalist brought the Ma
lietoa prisoners from the islands to
which they had been transferred by
the provisional government.
The Americans then fortified Null
nuu, where $4,000 Malietoeans took
| refuge. The rebels-the adherents of

the municipality and seized the British
houses. An ultimatum was sent to
them, ordering them to evacuate, and
threatening them, in the event of re-
fusal, with bombardment, to COM
mence at o'clock on the afternoon of
March 18th.
This was ignored, and the rebels
commenced an attack in the direction
of the United States and British con-
sulates about half an hour before the
time fixed for the bombar dment.
The Porpoise has shelled the vii
lagos east and west Of Apia, and cap
tured many boats.
The Americans and British are fight
ing splendidly together, but there is q
bitter feeling against the Germans.
Two men, British and German SUBJ
ject, have been arres ted as spies.

FILIPINos sUBoUED.
War Department Believes Aguinaido IL
Ready TO Quit.

Washington, April At is said by
the war department that General Otis
will not make a campaign during the
rainy season, nor is IL believed that be
will at present chase the FIlipinos into
the mountain fastness OF Luzon.
The officials consider II evident that
the fight that was in Aguinaldo has
been whipped out of him, and he can
not hold the Filipino army together
much longer. II General Otis SO advises.
the war department will approve
cessation of active hostilities or fnr-
Their 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 a
guerilla warfare, and IL so plan is
already maturing to meet any such con-
dition. Natives will be employed to
fight the guerillas. and as the govern
ment can give them better pay and af-
ford them greater protection than Ag-
uinaldo, there is no doubt about the
ability to employ natives in this way.
If there must be guerilla fighting dur
ing the rainy season, which will soon
be upon the Philippines, the Americans
will not sacrifice their troops in such a
warfare, if natives can be obtained.

COLLAPSE OF REBELLION.
AguInaIdos Men are Anxious TO secur,
Peace

Washington, April 4.-Advices from
Manila, under date of April 2. say:
The American troops under General
Macarthur are still resting at Malolos,
where everything has been quiet today
Hostilities elsewhere-so far as offici-
ally reported-have been limited dur
ing the last twenty-four hours to an
occasional exchange of shots between
the insurgents and troops forming the
lines Of General Lawton and General
Hall, extending from the waterworks
to La Lonia. But this shooting has
been just active enough to make the
lives of the soldiers a burden and to
compel the officers to sleep la trenches
clothed and in readiness to repel posi-.
BILE attacks.
Most of the Americans are becoming
convinced that the backbone of the
insurgent opposition is broken. There
are numerous rumors pointing TO an
early collapse of the insurrection. One
of these is that General Pho Del Pila,
the best fighter among the Filipino
officers, will desert Aguinaldo and give
his support to the Americans.
A priest and two members of the So
called Filipino congress, who hid them
selves in the woods during the fighting
which preceded the capture of Malolos,
returned there this morning and de-
clared that 1000 Of the Filipino sold
iers were anxious to give up fighting
and would do so but for their officers,
who keep them under arms.
The whole country between Malolos
and Caloocan is now full of friendless
women, children and old people, who
are returning to their homes, carrying
white flags. The Americans are trying
to gain the confidence of the inhabi-
tants by proving to them that if they
will return and attend to their ordi-
nary work peacefully, no harm will
befall them. Two hundred and fifty
civilians came back to their homes in
Malolos last evening. Two thousand
women and children, with a sprinkling
of unarmed men supposed to be war
riors came to the outskirts of Malolos
outside Of the city and afterward
sneaked away, carrying all the goods
they could.

LOST AT SEA.
Over One Hundred People Went Down
With the steamer Stella.

Southampton, April 1.-The passen-
ger steamer Stella plying between this
port and the Channel islands, crashed
upon the dreaded Casquet rocks near
the island of Attorney, in dense fog,
and foundered In ten minutes, her
boilers exploding with tremendous
report as she went down. In spite of
this it is said there was no panic on
board. The coasting steamer Lynx,
which brought the news of the disas-
ter here, picked up four boats and forty
persons. 1t is estimated that 1870 per-
sons were drowned.
The second officer of the steamer,
who was among the rescued, says that
a collapsible boat was launched full of
people, but he thinks she struck on
the rocks, owing to the fog.
Another steamer has picked up a
boat containing forty-five persons, in
Guiding twenty women, who escaped
from the wrecked steamer. They have
been landed here. There we're about
1s5 passengers on board, and crew of
thirty FIVE men.
