Washington, May S.-The war de-

Otis dispatch giving the situation ir
the Philippines, some parts of which
have been omitted by the war depart

follows:
Manila, May S.-Adjutant General,

Lawton at Maasin and Balinag; scout
ing parties to north and east. Mac
Arthur at San Fernando. Pop

command of Captain Grant, started up
the San Fernando river for Guagua, as
was presumed, to establish there base
Of supplies for the troops engaged in
the northern campaign, but returned,
Major General Macarthur having failed
to connect with the expedition. The
gunboats found rebels intrenched at
Sosmoan and Guagua, on the water
fronts of the towns. The vessels
steamed past the works, Smelling the
occupants and driving them out. Land
ing parties from the boats entered both
towns, capturing at Sosmoan Spanish
captain in uniform, who was ostensibly
a prisoner in the hands of the rebels,
and also a native officer.
Arriving at Guagua the town and a
small gunboat were found to be burn
ing and the natives were evacuating
the place in consequence Of the bonn
bardment. At Sosmoan the landing
party captured number Of Filipino
flags and a quantity Of arms, chiefly
bolos and bows and arrows. besides a
lot of band instruments, which the men
played as they marched back to the
boats. Captain Grants expedition will
probably return mp the San Fernando
river after having been reinforced, on
recently purchased light-draft Spanish
steamers
The Filipinos surprised the United
States forces at San Fernando with a
daring trick. A railway train with an
engine at each end was run almost to
the American outposts and in plain
sight of the town. Before they could
be reached a gang Of natives sprang
off the train, tore up several lengths OF
the railway track, boarded the train
again and steamed away SO quickly
that there was no opportunity to capt
ure the raiders. The Nebraska regi-
ment is asking for a temporary relief
from duty. Only 375 men of this regi-
ment are left at the front.
