BRYAN SPEAKS AT TOPEKA.
Says There Is No Retreat from the Position
Taken in 1886.

Topeka, Kan, March 31.-The Demo-
cratic conference and banquet under the
auspices of the Democratic state central
committee was eld in this city last even
ing. Prominent speakers, including Col
onel Wi!lim Jennings Bryan, of Nebras-
ka; Champ rk, of Missouri: Allen o.
Myers, of Ohio, and Sidney Clark, of
Oklahoma, were present. Covers were
laid for more than 1000 guests. The
new library hall. where the banquet
was held, presented a brilliant scene
with thousands of incandescent lights
and decorations of natural roses, flags
and bright coIored bunting. The meet
ing was in the nature of a conference
of the Democratic leaders, the policy
of the party in the campaign of 1900 be
ing touched upon. Bryan himself was
given the most priminent place, his SUBJ
ject being Democracy"
Bryan stood out squarely for the Chi
cago platform, and said that there had
been no retreat from the positions taken
in 1896. THE Democratic platform of
190O,' he said will be written by those
who stood upon the platform of 1885, not
by those who tried to overthrow the
Democratic party in that campaign. The
failure which attended these two organ
ized the gold party and wrote the In
QldDdpOllS platform ought 10 restrain
them from proffering their services as
platform-makers for some years tu
come
He discussed trusts, which he charged
to the Republicans, and closed with a
denunciation of militarism> and what he
termed the tendency of the present ad-
ministration towards imperialism. He
said: The Republican party came into
existence in an attempt to apply the
Declaration of independence to the
black man; it seems likely to go out of
existence for its refusal to apply the
same principles to a brown man-onIy

Brooke has almost made up his mind 70
send the 100000 back to the United
States If the Cuban military assembly
does not give up the army rolls. You
may as well do and not trifle much
longer" said Secretary Alger. when dis
cussing the matter with General Brooke
and General Gomez. The latter said
that such a course would serve the as
sembly right. General Ernst called up
on the Cuban General Rafeal Portuon-
do, chairman of the executive commit
tee of the assembly, three days ago and
asked for the rolls.
do you come from General Brooke -
asked Portuondo. Yes" replied Gen
eral Ernst.
Officially or unofficially?" Il come
unofficially,'' answered the American
officer.
Then 1 cannot give them up" re-
torted Portuondo. Il can only do so Oh
official recognition"
A file of United States troops would
probably be sent to take the rolls if the
military administration knew exactly
where they were. but there is a feeling
that a mistake might be made In the
course of a conversation with an old
friend from San Domingo General Co
mez said: Il am ready to go home. 1
am tired of this jangle with the assembly.
i have learned something about this
people which 1 did not know before.
They are an ungrateful people. They
80 not appreciate what the United
States government is doing for them"
The organization of the so-called Gu
ban national party is proceeding. Meet
ings are held nightly and yesterday the
promoters issued a manifesto to the peo-
PIE of Havana calling upon them to
unite their efforts and to organize ward
committees with view of disseminate
Ing information preparatory to nation
al convention. This movement, il is said,
is due to the approach of elections. but
II has already developed split in east
ern districts. where the Cuban federal
lists have organized to promote a repub-

Manila, March 81, 1890 a. H.
Halls brigade advanced this morning
from Mariquina up the Mateo river
valley almost to Montalban, driving
the enemy to the hills on the north.
The rebels were in considerable force
at the functions of the rivers Nanca
and Ampit' with Mateo, but the
artillery soon scattered them with
heavy loss. The American loss was
one killed, Lieut.. Gregg. of the 4th

Manila, March 81. 3:55 p. m.-The
American flag was raised over Malo-

Kansas and Montana regiments, on
entering the city. found it deserted.
The Presidencia is burning and the
rebels are retreating toward the
mountains in state of terror. II is be-
lieved they cannot in the future make
even a faint resistance. The Ameri-
can loss was small.
Preparations for Evacuation.
The Americans found elaborate
preparations had been made for evac-
uation. The only prisoners captured
were a few Cinnamon. They said
Aguinaldo left Malolos Wednesday.
Most of the rebel forces were removed
yesterday evening to positions east of
the railroad, leaving only small bands
intrenched in front of Malolos. The
only effective stand was at BAN
Bombo and the earthen work, 4 half
mile from Malolos. where the Nebras-
kans, as was the case yesterday, had
the hardest work and suffered the
greatest loss.
Splendid Work OF Americans.
American troops acted splendidiy, |
advancing steadily against successive
lines of entrcnchments, through woods
and jungles and suffering from fright
full heat. The volunteers were handi-
capped with Springfield rifles of short
or range than the Mausers of the in
surgents. Under those circumstances
the steady advance of our troops was
really remarkable achievement.

More About Wednesdays Fighting.
Manila, March 81, 7:35 a. m.-The
United States troops rested last night
in the jungle about a mile and a quar-
ter from Malolos. Yesterdays advance
began at o'clock and covered a dis
tartce of about two and one haIfmiles be-
yond the Guiguinto river, along therail-
road. The brunt of the battle was on
the right Of the track. where the enemy
was apparently concentrated. The First
Nebraska. First South Dakota and
Tenth Pennsylvania regiments encour-
tered them entrenched on the border of
the woods and the Americans advancing
across the open suffered a terrific fire
iOi Aail al HOuT II our men OF the Ne
braska were killed and thirty were
wounded. Ten men of the Dakota regi-
ment were wounded and one of the
Pensylvanians was killed.
Close Call for General MtArthur.
The Americans finally drove the Fiji
pinos back Although there were three
lines of strong entertainments along the
track the enemy made scarcely any de-
fense there General Macarthur and his
staff were walking on the track abreast
OF the line with everything quiet when,
suddenly they received a shower of bull
let's from sharpshooters in trees and on
lodged. The enemy's loss was apparent
ly small. the jungle affording them such
protection that the Americans were us
able to see them. and in firing were
guided only by the sound OF the Filipino
shots. The American artillery was
handicapped for the same reason.
Plenty of Food To BE Had.
Last nights long line of camp fires
made beautiful sight. with the Twen-
tieth Kansas regiment on the left of
Guiguinto station and the Pensylva-
mia regiment on the right beyond the
river. The provision train was delayed
and fiocks OF ducks in the locality fur
nished ample forage.
The hospital work is remarkably eff
cient. as ii has been throughout the |
whole campaign. The telegraphers keep
abreast Of the line and maintain a con-
slant connection with the city.

That He Sends Nothing from Apia-
Washington, March 31.-The serious
condition of affairs in Samoa engaged
the attention of officials throughout yes
terday and there were conferences be-
tween the president and Secretary Hay
and the German and British embassies.
But the only authoritative statement
came from the navy department, giving
brief dispatch from Admiral Kautz.
This threw no light on the latest out
break and owing to tangle of dates
IL served only to further involve the
mystery In view of the fact that the
fighting was long continued and that
the foreign offices at London and Ber-
in had been officially advised of the af-
fair. il was regarded as somewhat
strange that the state and navy de-
partments should be entirely without
information on a bombardment by an
American admiral
The Samoan crisis divided attention
with the fgh'ing about Manila in official
quarters ard considerable anxiety was
shown lest the affair should assume a
grave international aspect While there
may be a dearth of official informa ton.
at the same time the actual events carry
out what has been anticipated and give
q basis for inteiligently considering the
further Joint action OF the British and
American governments in the complete
settlement OF the entire Samoan trou-
