THE STORY OF THE FIGHT.

Manila, March 26.-7:30 p. m.-The
United States troops under Brig. Gen.
Lloyd Wheaton captured the town of
Malinta, beyond the Tuliahan river, to-
day, after d sharp fight. Col. Harry c.
Egbert, of the Twenty-second regular
infantry, was killed. Prince Loewen-
stein. former aide-de-camp on the staff
OF Brig. Gen. Miller, at Iloilo, some
how got in front of the firing line and
was shot in the side, dying almost in
stantly. A German, who accompanied
him, was wounded.
Gen. Wheaton entered Malinta, which
is small village of huts, at one o'clock
this afternoon.
The insurgents made fierce resist
ance to the American advance up the
railroad at Malinta. In addition to the
fatal wounding of Col Egbert, several
men Of the Twenty-second infantry
and several of the Oregon and Kansas
regiments, were killed.
Evidently anticipating a lombard
ment by the feet, a thousand rebels va
Gated Malabon last night, leaving few
TO burn the town. Gen. Wheaton's
brigade, composed of the Second Ore
gon regiment and the Twenty second
and Twenty-third infantry, stretched
out along the railroad from
Ca1oocan to the Tuliahan river,
was powerless to prevent the
withdrawal. owing to the natural
obstacles and to the strong opposition.
A column of smoke at daybreak was
the first intimation of the enemy's in
tentions, but others followed at various
Csntinnsd on Second Page.

"Adjutant General, Washington:
ATTACKS on Gen. Hall and pumping
station, last night, easily repulsed.
Macarthur, with moving column, has
driven enemy, but cannot gain the
point north of Polo, on account or
roughness of country; must strike rail-
way south of that point. This will en-
able most of Aguinaldo's troops to es-
cape north. Still, he may oppose, as
the best of his army, consisting of re-
leased prisoners Of war, former native
Spanish troops, is concentrated there.
This northern army will be pressed
south of city. Three thousand insur-
gent troops from southern Luzon prov

THE DEAD COLONEL.

Washington, March 26.-Col. Henry
C. Egbert, whom Gen. Otis reports
among the killed, was born in Penn
sylvania, and appointed first lieuten-
ant in the army from civil life on Sep
TENDER 23,,~1S62. He served continu-
ously as line officer for nearly forty
years. He was more closely identified
with the Twelfth Infantry than any
other organization, having served with
distinction in that regiment during the
civil war; He was taken prisoner at
the battle of Gettysburg, but escaped
and rejoined his command and was Sc
verely wounded ON June 8, 1864, in the
battle of Bethesda Church, Va. He
was major ofgthe Seventeenth Infantry
from 1880 to 1893 when he became lieu
tenant colonel of the Sixth Infantry.
This regiment he commanded in the
Santiago campaign until disabled by a
shot through the body on July 1, 1898.
For his distinguished service in battle
he was promoted brigadier general
of volunteers, which grade he held I'M
til December L, 1898, when in the re-
duction of the volunteer army he was
honorably discharged. He was pro-
NOTED colonel in the regular establish
ment on July /, 1898, and assigned to
the Twenty-s second Infantry, whose
colonel, Charles A. Wikoff, was killed
at San Juan Hill. He Joined the Twen-
ty-second Infantry January 80, 1899,
sailed with it for Manila February 1,
and arrived at Manila March 4, 1899.
Gen. Egbert was we'll known through
out the army as an officer of a high
order of ability and as a man of ster-
ling qualities. In the death of Gen.
Egbert the service loses one of its best
colonies.

so alleged that before Manila surren-

of the Spanish and insurgent lines,

days, it was even asserted he had acted

staff of Brig. General Miller.

Bowling Green. Ohio. March Co.
The surrender this morning of Paul
and John Zeltner. the murderers Of
Lawyer Westenhaver, who for eighteen
hours def:ed arrest at their home at
Hoyt's Corners, has been attended by
an almost complete subsistence of the
excitement, and it now appears that
thes whole affair has been somewhat
exaggerated. The situation was for a
time critical, but the extent of the ex-
element was magnified. At no time
was there any danger of clash be-
tween the citizens and militia. When
the Bloomdale Rifles arrived at Hoyt's
Corners at l a. m. the greater part of
the crowd had dispersed and the ex-
element had subsidized. In fact, before
the militia arrived at the scene of the
trouble the guard around the Zeltner's
home had been so relaxed that they
could have easily escaped.
There was no demonstration when
the fugitives surrendered this morn
ing, the people apparently being salts
fed to permit the law to take its course.
The Zeltners had to be assured by the
sheriff, however, before they agreed to
surrender, that they would be fully
protected. Small crowds of people
gathered at the stations along the rail-
road as the special train which brought
the prisoners to Bowling Green whirled
by, but there were no demonstrations.
A large crowd gathered at the railroad
station in this city and followed the
prisoners, escorted Try the militia, to
the Jail, but there was no disorder and
no threats Of summary justice. 1t Is
not believed here that there will be an
attempt to lynch the prisoners. The
services of Company H,-of North Bal
timore, which was taken aboard the
special train, were not needed and the
company was not even disembarked.
The sheriff concluded this afternoon
that the presence of militia here was
unnecessary and the Bloomdale Rifles
were sent home this evening.

Found Yesterday.
NEW YORK, March 26.-The work in the
ruins of the Windsor Hotel was continued
with a full force of men to-day. and the
piles Of debris were heaped up faster that
the carts could take them away. 1t is
thought now that the foundations and
cellar will be cleaned out by the end of
the week.
The workmen came upon a human foot
in a shoe near the Forty-seventh street
and Fifth avenue corner of the ruins this
morning. The shoe was badly charred and
shrivelled. and it could not be told
whether the foot was that Of woman or
a child.
A second fragment of human foot was
found late this afternoon near the Fifth
avenue entrance to the hotel. There was
very little of it. only the great toe and
some tendons being left. Near the place
workmen found a pair Of slippers The
CHASTITY relies were placed in box and
