Hongkong, March ga correspondent
Of the Associated Press at Manila says:
An army has seldom operated under
harder conditions than have been ecoun-
tered by the American flying brigade
The country the American troops have
traVersed is intersected with Iagoons, mar
row and unfordable rivers, and bamuoos
so thick that the enemy cannot be seer
a hundred feet distant. During the charges
the Americans were ignorant as to
whether they were attacking a hundred
or thousands of rebels, which amaZes the
foreign observers The FilipinOs were IN
eXpected!y fierce at Cainta. Had il not
been for the fact that the American lire
was thin the enfIadjng fire would have
slaughtered many of our men.
''One Of the prisoners captured by the
Americans says the Filipino leaders boast
that they can continue such a war for
years. depending upon the American forces
being weakened daily by twenty killed
wounded, or inYalided.
Some of the high officials here think
that l0,U00 re-enforcements are needed. as
the troops now on this island are hardly
more than required to maintain d line
around Manila and police the city.
Considerable rain has fallen already
and it seems that the season for rains is
beginning prematurely. II is possible that
when the steady rains begin our troops
will have to be withdrawn 10 permanent
b. IRA .ks which may enable the rebels TO
return 10 their old positions.

stroying the buildings in the country

the commissioned officers and the finding
OF the ccurt-martial in the trial OF the
rioters OF the Fifteenth Minnesota Regi-
ment. which occurred March I and 5.
when one OF their number was killed by
a salOon-keeper. He says. in part.
The deplorable inefficiency. incapacity.
weakness. and timidity exhibited by near
ly all Of the commissioned officers present
at the disgTacsful and violent outbreak
in the camp is Incredible. except on the
abundant sworn testimony of said Of
fiCers themselves. These officers stood
expOstulating. eXhOrting, pleading. but
not one Of them attempted 20 shoot or
fell the two or three Ieao.ng men who
were actually breaking in the storehouse
door. on these sworn details. IL is
thought, and In two cases, at least. il is
believed. a CouTt-martial would have
awarded the extreme penalty Of the law
The order from superior authority re-

Havana, March 20.-Capt. T. l. Huston.
OF the Volunteer Engineers. was ques-
toned to-day by d correspondent Of the
AssO ciated Press on the subject OF the
story. printed by local newspaper at
Cincinnati, Ohio, saying that the location
at the keyboard BY which the United
States battle-ship Maine was blown up IN
Havana harbor on February Is Iss. had
been found By him IN a gunrO0m Of the
Fuerzs prison, while engaged IN cleaning
out the f0rtihcations.
The Captain said the use OF his name
in this connection was not authorized. He
showed the correspondent a cable with
several wires running into the harOor
from FuerZa prison, opposite Cabanas
Fort One wire was connected with a
disused telegraph instrument in a neigh
boring government building. Though the
cable has not been investigated b. the
United States engineers. the supD0sItl0n
i that Il runs 10 caDanas, across the har-
Dor. and has been used for teiegraphing.
There Is a remote chance that the wires
in the cable we're connected with mines or
torpedces, but there IL no indication that
il had anything 20 DO with the blowing
an OF the Maine The end Of the cable
sticking out Of Fuerza prison has been
seen by tourists Tor weeks past. Many
soldiers have also seen the cable, and may
have expressed the belief that il was
