MANY REBELS SLAIN.
FlLiPlNOS SUFFER GREAT LOSS
NEAR CALOOCAN.
american Loss Was 10 Killed and 40
Wounded-Bri11iant Victory Won by
Zen. MacArtlur's Brigade-P1ans to
Quickly Crush Aguina1do's Forces.

Manila adyices Saturday reported a ter
rible battle near CaloOcan. The Amerl-
cans won a splendid victory. Five hun
dred rebels were killed and wounded and
as many more were taken prisoners.
American losses We're conseryatlveiy es-
timated at sixteen killed and about 1oO
wounded The insurgent losses are great
er than during any previous engagement.
Gen. MacArthur's division is to be cred
tied with the splendid work of the day,
including the capture of several villages
and complete decentralization of Agulnal-
dos forces. The capture of Malabon, the
rout of the insurgents, the making prls-
oner of Aguinaldo and the complete occu-
patton of his so-called capital, Malolos,
is the campaign mapped out by Gen. Otis.
Elaborate preparations were made. Gen.
Wheaton's brigade was placed in the rear
and Gen. Harrison Gray Otis and Gen.
Halls were massed behind Gen. Hale's.
Under the cover of the darkness Gen.
Otis and Gen. Hale's brigades left their
trenches and advanced close UP on the
enemy's line without being detected, Gen.
Wheaton's and Gen. Halls brigades oc-
cupying the vacated positions. At day
light Gen. Otis and Gen. Halls brigadeS
advanced from La Iona church straight
through the rebel lines, cutting the enc
my's force in two. Upon this occasion the
rebels adopted the American tactics of
holding their fire until the attackers were
about 1000 yards distant. The rebels
also fired lower than usual. The Ameri-
cans fired volleys with terrible effect and
then rushed forward, cheering and carry
ing everything before them. Once through,
Gen. MacArthur's division was swung to
the left, driving the rebels away on all
sides.
The natives stood until the Americans
were within 200 yards of their position
and then broke and ran for the woods.
Thirty of them were killed in the out
skirts and seventy on the roads. The Mon
tana and Kansas troops met the hottest
resistance. Smoke from the burning huts
marked the line Of the American advance.
Ambulances and horse filters, led by Chin
csc, brought in the wounded among whom
were few Filipinos. The Americans
who were wounded endured their injuries
bravely.

Several Persons Injured ana store
Wrecked at Dewitt, Arks
A terrible explosion of powder occurred
at Dewitt, Ark, as a result of which two
children were fatally injured, several otn-
err persons badly hurt and property to the
value of several thousand dollars destroy
ed. The explosion occurred in the store OF

STAPLES ARE STRONG
WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, SiTUA-
TON SHOWS STRENGTH.
Stormy Weather Retards Spring Dis
tribution-Raw Wool Is Weak-Lum-
Der More Active-Dcath of a Famous
African Explorer and Missionary.

The state of trade is thus presented by
Bradstreet's: Stormy weather, retarding
spring distribution in some sections, has
impaired an irregular appearance to gen
eral trade, while some few reductions in
prices of leading staples, notably raw cot
ton and wool, copper and some few other
metals, serve to break the otherwise al
most unvarying appearance of strength of
staple values. The general commercial
situation, however, continues to present
much apparent strength. The seeSaW of
wheat prices has been upward. Better
weather at the South and especially i'm
proved roads find reflection in a larger
volume of receipts of cotton, and the re-
suit is fractional shading of prices. COZ
fee is slightly lower, while the high price
of copper seems at last to be affecting
demand, which has slackened, with con-
SeQuent drop in value of that metal, sym.
pathiZed in by declines in tin and lead.
The iron situation is still one of great
strength. The boot and shoe situation
with jObbers is quite encouraging; hides,
though dull, are firm, and the same is true
of leather Cotton goods retain all their
old strength, while the talk of combina-
ton in the manufacturing branch of
trade has seriously unsettled the price Of
raw wool, which is weak and lower. Sugar
reflects steady buying in practically TN
changed quotations. Lumber is feeling
the stimulus of the approach of active
building operations. Wheat, including
-four, shipments for the week aggregate
3,746,7 61 bushels, against 4, ia DAG bush
els last week. Corn exports for the week
aggregate 3,G99,G29 bushels. against
4,211,32G bushels lest week.

May Explain Maine Disaster.

A Cincinnati paper prints a story that
the location of the keyboard by which the
Maine was blown up in Havana harbor
has been found by an American engineer
officer. The story is that Captain L. L.
Huston Of the volunteer engineers, who
entered the service from Cincinnati and
who had been assigned to the duty of
cleaning out the Notifications of Havana,
discovered in the gunroom Of the Quartet
de Foerste a wooden box or hut, in which
he found gutta percha tube containing
one large copper wire and several smaller
wires. He also found evidences of key
board having been torn away. Captain
Huston confded his discovery to Warren
j. Lynch, general passenger agent of the
Big -Four, who was visiting Havana, and
said he was about to trace the wires to
prove his theory that the Maine was ex-
ploded from that point. The wreck of the
vessel can be seen from this gunroom not
more than hundred yards distant. The
room itself was in a part of the prison to
which access was only allowed to few
