detachment of Eight Men Fired on,
Only One Getting Away Unhurt.
Manila, April IL. Starting in an
easterly direction along the road to
Pansanghan a party of sixty sharp
shooters, under Lieut. Sothern, of the
Washington regiment, came upon a
trench across the road about a mile out
of Santa Cruz. Lieut. Southern was
wounded.
The Americans then advanced with
the mounted guns and the Fourteenth
infantry battalion In the center; Lick's
battalion Of the First Idaho infantry
on the right, and Raine's battalion OF
the First North Dakota on the left.
The trench was carried without loss to
the Anericans. Pansanghan was
found deserted. One Filipino was
killed and five wounded in the encoun-
ter beyond TOangas. There was an
ambush. Eight men Of the North Da-
kota regiment, moving In single hle
through the woods received volley
from a clump Of bushes not far away.
Only one got of unhurt. He dragged a
comrade with four bullets in his body
to the main force and then led the
main body Of troops back to the scene
of the ambush The Filipinos were
easily driven off. The dead found north
of Santa Cruz swell the number Of the
enemy killed on Monday to 80, includ-
ing Paole Aguirro. one OF the leaders,
and twelve officers.
As he lacks sufficient troops for gar
risoning, Gen. Lawton will withdraw
from the towns entered. Not house
has been burned, the only confiscation
being of pigs and chickens. 1t is hoped
that this respect for property win con-
vince the natives OF the good inten-
finnS of the Americans.

No said that a committee OF twenty

.Ss ~ following purposes: TO obtain as
,srce autonomic rights for the Filipino
raonla as possible; to bring about
resreful relations between the insur
p lonts and the American authorities,
mi 10 insist that Americans and FIN
ninos only shall occupy public Once:

vsw that If the Americans would send
sm,ssaries to Aguinaldo now he thinks
,nesceful solution of the present
rsubles is probable. Influential Amer.
ms think that shis commission or
h FilipinOs Is eager to protect their
p.operty, and has little influence with
the insurgents.
Washington, April 19-The announce
meut of Gen. Lawton that 100000
troops will be necessary To subJugate
tie insurgents in the Philippine Is
lands is causing the administration a
great deal OF worry. Under the army
oryanization bill 1t was provided that
the entire army should consist OF not
to exceed 5000 regulars aIi $4,000
volunteers. Steps have bee taken
within the past few days TO muster out
the volunteers now in the service, and
Il Is thought that this will be accom-
pllshed and those in the Philippines
started on their return to this country
by May IL. Gen. LawtOn's demand for
additional forces, however, makes II
imperative tha: the president should
immed ately issue call for volunteers
to take the place Of those who are to
come back. but If this is done. 1t will
be impossible. without violating the
law. to send any number of men across
the Pacific as the general demands.
There is great deal Of talk In admin
stration circles Of a call for an extra
session of congress in order that some
provision may be made to meet the
emergency which has arisen.
