SANTA CRUZ FALLS
AMERICANS TAKE ANOTHER FILL
PING STRONGHOLD.
OUR CASUALTIES LIGHT
But Over 80 Rebels Killed and Many
More Wounded-Lawton Estah-
fishes Headquarters in Elegant
Palace of Governor-Americans
Show No Fear in Assault on City.

Manila, April III p. m. Monday;
Santa Cruz, the Filipino's stronghold
on Lake Laguna de Bay, fell into the
hands Of Gen. Lawton's expedition
after sharp, quick fighting, forming
one of the most interesting and i'm
portant battles of the war. The plans
of the American commanders worked
perfectly, with the exception that the
progress of the expedition was some
what delayed by the difficult naviga-
ton of the river. About 1900 picked
men composed the expedition, under
the personal command of Gen. Law
ton, on account of the Illness of Gen.
King. These troops partly surround
ed the city while the gunboats Laguna
de Bay, Napidan and Ooste, under
command of Captain Grant, and the
Utah battery shelled the city and
trenches. Gen. Lawton and staff
accompanied the troops, sometimes
leading the charges in Indian
fighting tactics, which eventually re-
suited in the complete route OF the
rebels, with the smallest amount of
damage to the city and slight loss to
the Americans. The expedition start
ed from San Pedro Macati at dusk on
Saturday, intending to capture Santa
Cruz by assault at daybreak, but in
navigating the shallow, tortuous Pasig
river several boats were grounded and
it was nearly dawn when the troops
reached the lake. The expedition
then steamed cautiously forward, the
Napidan and Ooste a mile ahead,
the Laguna de Bay guarding the rear.
Rebel signal fires, however, lighted the
mountain tops, giving the alarm of the
approach of the troops. 1T was noon
before the white church towers of the
city appeared in the shadow Of the
great volcanic mountains on the
marshy plain dotted with occasional
palm groves.
The Casco, with force of 200 picked
sharpshooters, under Major Weisen-
berger belonging to the list Washing
ton regiment, ran into a shallow inlet
five miles south of the city. 4 few
shells were sent toward the .entrench
ments of the rebels at the edge*of the
woods, the enemy scampering., inland.
A number of Americans jumped into
the water, and wading about a hum
dred yards, crept forward and formed

The acute situation in Samoa gave
rise to grave apprehension to the Off
Gals during the early part of the day
at Washington, but the conclusion was
reached as the department closed that
the situation was one that would yield
to sensible and cool treatment, if the
parties to the Berlin treaty are sincere
in their effort to prevent further trOu~
ble AS put by a cabinet officer, the
killing of the sailors does not material
ly change the general problem, though
undoubtedly it is an added difficulty IN
dealing with the situation. The only
official news received at Washington
was contained in Kautz' cablegram.
The secretary of war said no addition
al instructions would be sent by him
to the admiral. The secretary OF state
had been told that he was at liberty to
forward any instructions to the ad-
miral that may be deemed necessary.

and guard was Immediately
placed around it. The streets
are being patrolled and footing being
rigidly prevented. Almost all the in
habitants fed during the two preced-
ing nights. On the marshes north of
the town were found 40 dead F'ilipinos,
some terribly torn by shells, and many
others wounded. A surgeon who ira
versed the fields counted 80 killed, and
LaWton will report at least 68. One
Filipino, attempting to escape, slashed
viciously at Maj. Weisenberger, who
shot and killed him. Sunday the in
surgents captured two men of the 14th
infantry, while unarmed, but the
Americans stole guns from their cap
tors, dubbed them, and hid in the
trees over night and returned Monday
morning.
Today the expedition will push for
ward, the Americans having destroyed
miles of telegraph line, cutting off in
surgent communication east and west.
The gunboat Bennington has been
sent to Balor, on the east coast, to re-

mainder, which was finished about 5
O'Clock. Three troops of cavalry,
unmounted, were sent ashore at dan
gerous marshy point, directly south Of
the city, under the fire of the enemy S
trenches. Meanwhile in the town it
self there was. utter silence and not a
sign. OF life.
Gen. Lawton, desiring to make an in
spection and give the inhabitants al
opportunity to surrender, went on
board the Laguna de Bay, and accom-
panied by the Associated Press launch,
steamed to the dock, the whole fleet
watching anxiously. Then it was dis
covered by glasses that the trenches
and stone buildings were swarming
with Whitehead soldiers and the two
boats withdrew, receiving vOlleys from
the trenches on the marshy plain
north of the city. The fotilla
anchored in compact forma-
ton for the night, determining to re-
,sist any surprises from the rebels gun
boats SUPPOSED to- be. in the lake.
At sunrise today (Monday), the as
sault commenced. The American out
lines south of the city stretched two
miles inland, with the left sweeping
the shore, and moved north, while the
4th cavalry on the point advanced to-
ward the city pouring volleys upon the
trenches simultaneously the gun
boats lowered along the shore, she'll
ing the woods ahead Of the troops and
driving the Filipinos inland. The Cat
lings cleared several trenches. The
whole brigade divided into squads of
IL and fighting was carried on in old
time frontier fashion, behind trees,
crawling through bushes or rushing
across the open. The trenches that
were not cleared by the gunboats gave
considerable resistance when the line
was nearing the city and the Lagunda
de Bay and Ooste bombarded the
trenches for an hour in the
hope of driving the enemy
out, but did not succeed in"clearing
them entirely. Gen. Lawton, with the
4th infantry battalion, approached
from the narrow bridge across the
creek south of the border Of the
town. Here a company Of Filipinos
was intrenched across the stream be-
hind a stone barricade at the
entrance of the bridge. The
Americans rushed forward in
singlesfile, faced a CALLING fire, and de-
molished the barricade with their hands
and drove the enemy from the
trenches. killing a dozen. The Filipino
Soldiers in the town we're secreted in

dows, gave the invaders an interesting
hour. There was a regular nest Of
them in the stone Jail which was edged
in by a wall. This was a veritable
pepper pot. The Americans, singly or
in pairs, entered the houses and many
warriors were taken prisoners. A
considerable body of Filipinos fed
northward, crossing the open marshes,
but the Gatlings poured upon them
deadly hail until they disappeared in
the woods, Staying dozens. Major
Weisenberger deployed the sharp
shooters along the shore and they
crept forward, aiding the Gatlings.
Finally the main body was sent
against the enemy in the woods, drlV-

GEN. HENRY TO THE RESCUE
High Tribunal Takes Offense at Pa
per's Criticism of Judiciary-De-
mands That the News Submit Arti-
cles to 1t Before Publication-Hen-
ry Countermands Action Of Court.

San Juan, April 13.-The supreme
court confscated an issue of the San
Juan News, the American newspaper
published here, for criticising the
court. The News published an ex-
tract from Gen. Grants report, stating
that the Porto Rican judiciary is
corrupt, referring particularly to the
lower courts. General Henry warned
the News to desist, but the action of
the supreme court was taken without
the consent of Gen. Henry, who coun-
fernandez it. The same court also
demanded that the News submit ar
ticles to it before publication. Gen.
Henry disapproves of this. There is
much feeling among the Americans on
account of the incident.

A'GIFT CAUSED GRIEF.
The Girl for Whom the Queens Pres
ent Was Intended Never Got
Sight OF 1t.

Perhaps no queen has been the re-
clpient of more amusing letters than
Margherita of Italy, nor can any men,
Der of royalty better appreciate joke
than her majesty. a little note which
found its way into the royal correspond
ence recently has gone the rounds Of the
court. 1t appears that while taking a
promenade the queens attention was at
tracted by a chubby little girl. She
called her to her side and inquired what
she could do in the way of needlework,
says the Pittsburgh News.
Il can knit stockings, signora," came
the confident reply.
DO you know who amp"
Yes, signora; you are the queen"
well, then, make me pair Of stock
1ngs and send them to the palace"
The stockings arrived, and the queen
sent the girl by way of reward a pair
OF rose-colored stockings, one contain
ing bonbons, the other money. The
next evening brought this letter from
the little knitter:
"Signora: Your gift has caused me
tears. My father collared the money,
my elder brother the sweets, and my
mother put the stockings on herself"
