FIERCE FIGHTING YESTERDAY
The American Forces Met With Strong Exposition in Jungle But Succeeded in Routing the sy-BOdies of Dead Fiipinos Fill the Road, But No Time
 is Found to Bury Them.

Manila, March %, Wednesday, 10:10 p. m. After couple of hours of rest, General MacArthur's division pushed on across the rice fields and rivers and through the jungles without meeting any opposition, the enemy flying from the villages of Taal. Ucuat and Bigaa, after burning them. The town of Bulacan, the capital of the prov ince, was burned and abandoned, although General MaeArthur passed miles to the right. At 5 o'clock the enemy made a stand in the trenches half a mile beyond Guiguinto station at river crossing. The Kansas and Pennsylvania regiments imme- diately deployed, crossing railroad bridge under heavy fire, and attacked the enemys positions The rebels withstood the mus ketry fire for half an hour, but the artillery disconcerted them, and at the end of a forty-five minutes fight the insurgents bolted towards the hils. Our loss was two killed and twenty wounded. The ene- my's loss was severe. General MacArthur went into camp near Guiguinto station at 630 o'clock, four miles from Malolos.

REPORT FROM OTIS.
American Forces Subjected to Terrific
 Fire.

Washington, March 29.-The following advices from Manila were received by the war department tonight:
 Manila, March Northumberland, Washington: MacArthur advanced at 6 yesterday morning from Mari,ao. Passed rapidly to Bocave. At 11:45 took up ad- vance for Bigaa, and at S:15 p. m. for Gull guinto, three and one-half miles from Ma lolos, reaching that point at D. Casualties for the day about seventy. Fierce fighting in the afternoon. Troops made crossing of river at Guguinto by working artillery over railway bridge by hand and swimming mules against fierce resistance. Column will pass on railroad to extreme front, which is nearly repaired, and will re-supply troops today. (Signed) OTIS.

M'ARTHUR'S ADVANCE.
Developments Being Watched With
 Great Interest at Washington.

Washington. March 2s.-when General Otis reported to the war department early today that at o'clock this morning the American troops under Macarthur again took up their advance, there was renewed expectation of fighting and decisive devel- opments. General Otis dispatch covered much ground. not only in showing the po- sition of our forces, but also the extent of the advance contemplated for the day. The halt and rest of yesterday gave a new aspect to the advance. for instead of a long continued fight with jaded troops and ex- hausted supplies, MacArthyr began practi- cally new advance today, with his men refreshed and well supplied.
 Major Simpson, who is closely following the movements of the troops by means of the military map, regarded General Otis dispatch as chewing that the plan today was to reach Bigaa, seven miles froni Ma lolos, and there wait until tomorrow for the final advance on Malolos. The march cut out for the day covers about seven miles. The two towns mentioned, Bocave and Bigaa, are the only ones along the line of march, and they are small pueblos. There arc two natural obstacles lying along the route-frst the Marilao river, and, farther on the Bulacan river. The bridge of the Marilao river has been burned, but all re- ports indicate that the engineers have suc- ceeded in repairing it.
 Bigaa is just beyond the Bulacan river, so that General Otis report that MacAr- thurs advance will continue to Bigaa" was construed at the war department to mean that the two rivers would be passed before today's advance closed. Being seven miles from Ma]olos, our force can either cover that distance tomorrow or else turn southward and reduce the large city of Bulacan on the left The expectation here is that they will keep on to Malolos, and that tomorrow night will see them near the insurgent capital.
 The report that the enemy had destroyed the railway and telegraph lines compelled our engineers practically to build a rail- road and telegtaph lines as our troops ad- vanced
 high official of the war department summed up the military situation as fol- lows:
 "The troops are in excellent spirits Full supplies are on hand. the supply trains are keeping abreast of the men. The enemy is losing heart and falling back, and tonight we will be within seven miles of the ene- my's capital"
 General Corbin does not credit the report that the insurgents have abandoned their capital and have moved back to San Fer nando. He bases this conclusion on the fact that General Otis has reported no such movement and he doubtless would be quick to report any move of such vital impor- tance,
The age-herald., 1899-03-30

was greeted with enthusiastic applause. He spoke eloquently for about forty minutes, touching on the questions to be determined by the convention Colonel Denson began his speech by thanking the convention for the honor, and he then made the signifi- cant statement that "when the great court lines up, it is the duty of every true man to fall into line. Every utterance in this convention should be weighed we'll" he continued, "but we are here to meet every question squarely and openly and pay the expenses. The main question confronting us is, shall our state be controlled by the Anglo-Saxon or hybred racer" The sec- tions of the present constitution fixing in- dividual rights should be left unchanged. We are now to frame a law to control so- ciety. Human progress makes a new con- etitution necessary. The question of es- tablishing an organic law is. an important one, but let justice be the controlling power and all will be well.
 The first proposition of importance was to regulate the franchise. ITO eliminate the nigger from the ballot box is the straight of it," exclaimed the speaker, and the applause that greeted the statement showed the approval of the convention He was ready and willing to do all in his power to accomplish this end. A simple educational qualification will not accom- plish this end. The black man Is an idler and a tramp. "f4e will hang on a hook in beef-stall by suspenders and sleep all night and get up next morning half starved and go to school" said Colonel Denson, amid much laughter. With the white man 1t is different. He leavee his home his mother, his sisters and he will sacrifice all-even an education-to protect
The age-herald., 1899-03-30

but today there were no spells to divide. The delegates had dedicated this day to their beloved state. No such convention had been held in the lives of many of us Twenty-Five years ago similar convention had been held. That convention was com posed of able and good men, and it Is no reflection upon their work that this con- vention is assembled. They framed a con- stitution which represented the impulses which they dared to express during the hurricane of reconstruction days. But for several years the democratic party has seen that notifications of that constitution are needed to meet the needs of growing state Two years ago there was demo- ratio majority in both houses of the gen. eral assembly favorable to calling a con- vention, and steadily this sentiment had grown until the last legisla ature had issued irresistible utterances in it's behalf.
 He congra tulated the convention that the nominees for delegates to the constitutional convention were men the peers of their fathers. Alabama had lost nothing by comparison with the men assembled to- day and those of a quarter of century ago. No man who loves his state should raise his voice in objection to convention to be composed of such able men. We all want progress.
 The issues coming before this conven- tion should be met boldly. MT. Lowe fol- lowed this statement with the declara ton, I've propose to purify the ballot, that conditions in Alabama can be fairly left to the vote Of the people," The applause was uproarous.
 In fitting terms MT. Lowe then presented Colonel W. H. Denson as temporary chair man of the convention. Colonel Denson
