RESUME WAR ON FILIplNos.

Layton and Grant with Strong Ar.
mics Clear Trenches at linus.
The attacks of the Filipino insurgents
on the American troops in Cavite prov
ince, in which one officer and q private
have been killed and eleven privates
wounded, had their sequel Tuesday when
Gen. Grant moved out from linus toward
Bacoor. Gen. Lawton drove the insur-
gents up the linus road and crossed the
river. Meanwhile three companies Of the
Fourth infantry advanced from an oppo-
site direction on linus and soon the ISL
and between Bacoor and linus and the
river banks was clear Of rebels. The
enemy fell back on San Francisco de Ma
iabon and Cavite Viejo. One American
onicer and a private were wounded.
The scene of the operations described
above is in Cavite province, between Ba-
coor and linus. Bacoor is on the shore
Of Manila bay, southeast and across Ba-
coor bay from Cavite. linus is about
eight miles directly south of Bacoor. Ca
vites Viejo lies at the bottom Of Bacoor
bay, south of Cavite. San Francisco de
Malabon is about eight miles south Of
Cavite Viejo and the same distance west
Of linus.
Tho rebels who have been annoying
Gen. Grants forces came from the west
end of Cavite% province and from south of
linus. They have plainly been trying to
break through the American line from
linus to Bacoor, so as to get into the
country directly south of Manila and to-
ward Llaguna de Bay. The central part
of Cavite province is cut up by the af,u-
ents of the Zapote, Bacoor and Canar-
chite rivers, all of which fall into Ma
Mia bay east Of the Cavite peninsula.
The ISLAND" spoken Of is formed by the
Bacoor river and a branch of its main
a%fiuent, the Tibagar, which rise in the
country between Perczdasmarinas and
Laguna de Bay and unite about three
miles south Of Bacoor.
When the Americans advanced into On
vite province the rebels made their stand
at the Zapote river, were routed, and fled
south and west. The Americans then adj
vanccd through Bacoor and San Nicolas
and linus to Perezdasmarinas. The last
place was soon abandoned on account of
the swampy nature of the country. The
Americans did not attempt to take pos
session of the west end of Cavite PROV
ince, and the rebels have retained posts
at Novaleta, four miles southwest Of Ca
vite Vicjo, and at other points further
west and south. The Americans also
cleared the rebel vessels off of Laguna de
Bay and have occupied Calamba, at its
southwestern corner.

Tuesday the British and Boer forces were
believed to be about thirty miles apart.
Preparations for war are going on very

his crime and disgrace in the
of his home town for a period Of one
year. g
The action of the President in approx
ing the recommendation of the court
martial brings to an end this most celc-
DRAFTED and sensational Of American mill
tary trials. In the Wal Department., as
we'll as elsewhere, the severity of the
sentence has amazed vcryone Even the
most sanguine Of Capt. Carter's friends
had long ceased to expect that he would
be indicated. but they chung to the hope
that he might escape with dismissal from
the army and a fine, and avoid the degra-
dation of going to prison.
Capt. Carter's friends in Washington,
both in and out of the army. still assert
his innocence and claim that he is the
victim of circumstances and persecution,
but it is the general opinion that in view
of the careful consideration given the
case the verdict OF the court mast be
considered u righteous one.
From the Presidents decision. L.. -. IS
no appeal, except to his clemency. The
President has it in his power to pardon
Capt. Carter, and undoubtedly such an
application will be made IN the near
future. but for the present at any rate
the former captain of engineers will have
to so to the penitentiary.

an impossible endeavor 70 obtain some
sort Of recognition Of his so-callel govern

Sunday morning. They brought from
Aguinaldo a message that he desired

The conference between Aguinaldo's
ENJOYS and Gen. Otis shows the insur-

the strength of the American army. Agui-
naldo is anxious for peace, but insists
upon Independence for the Philippines.
His emissary argued the insurgents are
able to continue the guerilla warfare in

sorshlp. Great excitement prevailed Tues.
day at Cape Town, where it was report.
ed that the Beers had occupied Lains's
Mex.
There is nothing to soften the wal
spirit of recent dispatches. Neither is
there anything to show that the authori.
ties at Prctoria have any desire to come
to terms peacefully with Great Britain.
Had the Beers not determined to fight it
nut or il they were not prepared for hos
tilities they would, it is thought. have
sent some pacidcatory answer to Great
britain's message. 1t is said that the
colonial Office received m important dis
patch from Sir Alfred Miner, British
high commissioner for South Africa,
Monday. the contents of which, however.
were not made public.
The London Daily Chronicle says that
it has reason to believe that the mobiii.a-
ton Of n naval brigade is contemplated.
A statement that DIR. Jim jameson has
been seen in Matableland raising a corps
to defend Rhodesia is published without
comment. The Post says: what are we
waiting for? is the question every one Is
asking, but cannot answer" The Chron-
icle says: ut is on all hands admitted
that from a military point Of view the
Beers are and must for a long time re-
main masters of the situation" The
Standard says: 1.-THE situation is full Of
danger, and no n will be surprised to
hear all further talk of peace rendered
futile by a collision between the Beers
and the imperial troops, or by some hasty
