On Wednesday the troops crossed

After leaving two companies of the
Fourteenth regiment to guard the en-

dinner at Longas heard the firing and
advanced to the support of the sharp
shooters. A scout from a hill saw the
little fight and many Of the rebels run
ming into the hill. The Laguna de
Bay, at the beginning Of the fight,
shelled the hills, making them too hot
for the enemy. The Americans entered
San Antonio at sunset without meeting
with resistance. Twenty unarmed
prisoners, bearing copies Of the United
States Philippine commission procla-
nation, which they had somehow Sc
cured, were afterward released and
sent outside u lines with bundles OF
the proclamation to distribute.
The Fourth cavalry is guarding
Santa Cruz. Two companies Of the
Fourteenth regiment are at the mouth
or the river; two are at Pasig and two
at Lambun and n OF the Fourteenth
regiment and four Of the North Dakota
regiment are at San Antonio. The re-
mainder of the troops are at Longas.
Gen. Lawton is on board the Laguna
de Bay, off San Antonio. The country
Just occupied is thickly settled and
produces much fruit. McKenna, of
the signal corps, is indefatigible. He
ran a wire through the hostile country
without having a guard with him.

GEN. LAwrox's GREAT SUCCESS.

Gen. Otis:

Washington: Yesterday in the lake re-
gion Lawton pursued insurgents east
ward from Santa Cruz, dispensing
them. Captured all the larger vessels
used in the lake trade, and Spanish
gunboat. He Is now endeavoring to
pass them from river. where concealed,
into lake.
Wheaton drove enemy ten miles to
eastward of railway line Of COMMUNE
cations with Malolos. Lawton's and
Wheaton's casualties few and slight,
as enemy made no stand.
Notified by Spain that she will eyac-
nate Mindora and Polo oon
BY this it is seer that Gen. Law
tons campaign has been concluded
with great success.
The war department o.. cials say the
report is very gratifying.
1t is more than likely that the word
"Polo" in the above dispatch should
read "Jolo," which is the designation
sometimes given the Sulu group OF
islands. Spain has a garrison at Min
dora and Jolo and it is probable that
she is now ready to remove her sol
diers.

started at daylight with the Tenth
Pennsylvania and the Second Oregon
regiments and two guns to drive the
rebels from the American flank be-
tween the railroad and the foothills.
He met with slight resistance near
Santa Maria and had one man wound
ed. But the enemy bolted when
shelled by the artillery and burned and
abandoned the town of Santa Maria,
where a thousand rebels were report
ed to have been concentrated. Daring
the res. of the day the enemy was in
full retreat towards the mountains,
burning the villages behind the retreat
ing force. Occasionally a few OF the
rebels dropped to the rear and fired at
the advancing American troops from
the jungle, apparently with the idea
that this would check u advance and
cover the retreat of the Filipinos. But
finalng these tactics Intellectual these
rebels scrambled after the main body.
The American guard along the railroad
has been materially strengthened and
