LAWTOH'S GOOD WORK.
Capture Of Santa Cruz an Event Of
Great Importance.
But Six Americans Wounded-Rehel Loss

Manila, April 11.-Santa Cruz was the
Filipinos' stronghold on Lake Laguna
de Bay, and il fell into the hands of Cen
eral Lawton's expedition yesterday after
some sharp, quick fighting forming one
of the most interesting and important
battles OF the war. The plans of the
American commanders worked perfectly,
with the exception that the progress of
the expedition was delayed because of
difficult navigation of the river. About
1900 picked men composed the expedi-
ton, which was under the personal com
mand of General Lawton, on account Of
Illness Of General King. These troops
partly surrounded the city. while the
gunboats Laguna de Bay. Napindan and
Oesto, under the command of Captain
Grant of the Utah battery. sheled the
city and outlying trenches.
General Lawton and his staff accom-
panied the troops. sometimes leading
charges, in Indian fighting tactics. which
eventually resulted in the complete rout
OF the rebels, with the smallest amount
OF damage to the city and slight loss te
the Americans.
The expedition started from San Pedro
Macati at dusk on Saturday intending

"ART IN AMERICA"
Subject OF Prof. Charles Eliot kohons Address In
SaIIes Memorial Nall

The fifth lecture I'm the art course
given at Sayles Memorial hall. undes
the auspices of the Rhode Island school
of Design. was given last evening. by
Prof. Charles Eliot Norton of Harvard
University. his subject being Art in
America"
After calling attention 10 the condi-
tion OF literature In France and Eng
land at the time the Pilgrim fathers
landed on these shores, Prof, Norton
said in substance that the time was
one when all the physical and mental
energies Of men were held I'm check and
devoted TO but two objects. the sd-
Vancement Of material interests ana
the upholding Of religious dogma. There
was no refining influence. no luXuries.
no unbending OF a bigoted creed that
would create the desire for art or
arouse the imagination into some eX-
preston, either by brush or pen, OF tho
beauty of nature or the life OF the time.
Such literature as there was was mere
ly the expounding Of religion.
Literary art as typihed by poesy was
a its highest when Longfelow, Emer-
son, Lowell and Whittier touched the
chords. AT that time New England was
perhaps the most prosperous portion OF
the United States and the advancement
of refinement. the presence of higher
education. the eulargd ideas ar
ginations of men OF the time given by
commerce and increased contact with
other parts OF the world were the prin-
cipal factors in giving these poets their
art. In later days, especially during
the past 30 years. the accumulation Of
wealth in great cities, the pillng up of
individual fortunes have been response
bic for creating a desire for the fine
arts. They are sought after as adorn-
ments for palatial residences and pub
lie edihces and thousands Of artists
have answered the call for this work.
