tually discerned white roofs and stee-
Piles among the green trees beyond the
river, looking not unlike a Massachu-
sets village. The rebels had an I'M
fordable river in front Of them and
they poured in fire so effective That
it showed that they were veterans,
probably members of the native mi
litia which the Spaniards organized.
The American artillery has put a
dramatic end to the battle. Approach

sixty yards from the trenches, the ar
tillerymen emerged upon an open
space IlO loN w uSh

great yell and the Filipinos were panic
stricken, about 100 seeking safety in
flight, while white flag was raised
by those who were in the trenches,

MANILA, March 29.-The heat is in
tense, being 80 degrees on the coast

prisoners was escorted into Manila to-
day. Their appearance aroused great
interest as they were marched from the
railroad depot to the prison.

men from train, half mile in front
of General MacArthur's forces, with the
object of reinforcing the Filipino gar
risons at Bulacan and Guinguinto, on
either side of the railroad leading to
Malolos.

alton from here to our front facilities

plies was very uncertain.

WASHINGTON. March 2s-On

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-One of
the matters which will be early Brought
to the attention of the PRESIDENT after
his return will be the proposition to
supplant the military with civil Off
GERS in Cuba and rorto Rico SO far
as practicable. The civil officers Sc
lected will be subject to the military
authority, which must be supreme for
the present. as it is the only method
by which the government of the is
lands can be maintained. What is de-
sired and what has been under consid-
Grafton by ot.cers Of the administra-
ton is to have civil officers selected
who will come in contact with the peo-
pie Of the islands. Military methods,
while best for the management of the
army, are not always found suitable
in dealing with the people.

The fight for colonel of the newly
reorganized Fiftieth regiment is on in
dead earnest, says a newton dispatch,
with Colonel Lambert slightly in the
lead and Major Caughlin close sec
ord Major Mount being virtually out
Of the race on account of location. The
popularity of the two men makes the
fight the more interesting, both being
warm favorites with the men, but the
fact of Lambert being the old colonel
and the warm place he has in the
hearts of Ike old members of the regi-
ment, gives him an advantage over his
opponent.

that in the election last November
the state of Georgia cast a consid-

Louis. So did Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and
South Carolina. The aggregate vote
OF st. Louis was larger than that OF

Tennessee was barely double that of
