Troops Will Not Return From Manila
rs Soon ~ Expected.
Washington, May l2.-Those who
expect an early return Of the volunteer
in accordance with the promise Of the
war department will no doubt be dis.
appointed when they read the an
nouncement that number Of trans
ports are leaving Manila, and none of
the organizations are returning upon
them.
The fact is, the California and Ore
gon regiments, the first to go to Ma
Mia, are now performing too important
service to be spared, as are all other
volunteer regiments in the Philippines.
Unless peace comes, the volunteers
cannot be spared unless the provincial
army is organized. Already much
valuable time has been lost in delaying
the organization of that army, and the
hope is that the volunteers can be held
until the Filipino rebellion is over.
Just why the transports should be sent
to the Uunited States without troops
is unexplained. They are not needed
here, for transportation has been pro-
vided for all troops under orders to the
PhilippInee.

NEGRos ISLANDERS SATISFIED.

President of the Island Sends Word
That His People Are Loyal.
New York, May 1O.-A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Hong
Kong says: M. Lasco. brother of the
royal president of the island of Negros,
arrived here today bearing letter Of
introduction from General Otis. His
mission is to purchase steamers for
trade among the islands under the
American flag. In an inerview M.
LascOn said:
''The proclamation of the American
commissioners is entirely satisfactory.
1t gives us autonomy and greater liber-
atty than we demanded. We believe
that America will not fool US with
treaties as Spain fooled us.
"Aguinaldo was honest as long as he
was under the influence of Dewey and
Wildman, but he listened to the state
ments of the Hong Kong junta. who
are American traitors.
''Negros wants nothing to do with
Aguinaldo's proposed peace conference.
We are as loyal as New York, and our
soldiers now march under the Ameri-
can flag"

WANT TO Be LEADERS
Rebel Army Nearly Plunged
Into Civil War.
AN EXPEDITION ON THE RIVER
Gunboats lombard and Capture I've
Towns on the Rio Grande-
Rebels Daring Trick.

Manila, May 1O.-The army gun
boats Laguna de Bay and Cavadonga
returned today from an expedition up
the San Fernando river, where it was
learned that just before the battle OF
San Tomas the insurgents were almost
plunged into civil war.
General Luna, when an engagement
with the Americans was inevitable,
sent back to Bacolor to demand of Gen.
eral Mascardo reinforoements. Mas
cardo said he would take orders only
from Aguinaldo. Luna. with a soli-
tary regiment, made forced march to
BacOlor. Mascardo ordered his COM
mand to form in line of battle. Out.
side of the opposing forces the insur-
gents camp was all confusion.
Aguinaldo was terrified by the situa-
ton and ordered his chief of staff, Col
onel Arguelles, to make peace at all
hazards. The soldiers were waiting
orders to fight when Aiguelles called a
conference with the rival generals.
Aguinaldo begged Luna and Mascardo
not to plunge the Filipino forces into
civil strife at such time.
His entreaties prevailed, Luna re-
turned to the front with reinforce
ments, and Mascardo was court-mar-
tailed for insubordination. The bat
tie of San Tomas followed, and Luna
received wounds in the shoulder and
groin that will surely disable him for
the rest of the campaign, and may
cause his death.
Guagua was bombarded and carried
by assault. The insurgents fred the
town and abandoned small gunboat
of their own.
1t was from the civil governor of the
district, Jose Enfante, who stayed to
welcome the Americans. that the news
about Luna was received. He said
that 5000 to 5000 natives had been
killed since the beginning of HOSTILE
ties, and 500 insurgents retreated from
Guagua toward Bacolor when they
heard the cannonading by the gunboats
as they approached up the river. In
the graveyard at Guagua are 400 newly
made graves.
The insurgent forces have been d.
vided, one body, under command of
General Mascardo. going to the west
of San Fernando, and the other. COM
manded by General Antonio Luna,
moving north. Both these leaders
claim supreme command Of the Fill
Pine army. General Luna will fall
back to Terlac. and from that place
move toward San Isadoro.
General Macarthur will make San
Fernando his base of operations. send
ing out detachments of troops as they
may be necessary.

FILIPINO CONGRESS.

Manila, May 12.-Reports received
from the insuigent lines which, how
ever, have not been confirmed, say that
q meeting of the Filipino congress has
been held at San Isidro. There was
no quorum present, but in spite of this
fact, some business was transacted.
The reports add that although those
who attended were mostly partisans Of
AguiEaldo, q strong desire for peace
was expressed.
Major General Macarthur will prob
ably remain at San Fernando until
fresh troops can be forwarded to him
from this city to replace some of the
volunteers who have been exhausted
from the long campaign.
Filipino rif1emen. to the number Of
8, 1000, are entrenched in three sides Of
Bacolor. The Americans. however, are
fully able to hold out. If Mondays at

Manila, May 1.-Two com paries OF
the Second Oregon troops. with the
same number of Minnesota troops. dis
covered today the strongest fortifica.
tions and insurgent stronghold yet
found by General Lawton's men. This
is at San Ildefonso, nine miles north
of Baliuag. The position is so strong
that it may be the place of tre-
mendous battle, If the insurgents hold
the position. This and other lndica-
tions show that the progress of General
Lawton toward San Isidro will be con.
tested every inch OF the way. A mile
of heavy earthworks with flanklng
trenches defends the town in such a
way that large body of troops will be
required to take the place.
Thousands of half-starved natives
rush into General Lawton's lines for
succol, and all are being fed on rice
stores captured from the rebels by the
Americans.
General Lawton has set up Fill.

Manila. May 10.-The Filipinos sur
prised the United States forces at San
Fernando with daring trick yester-
day. A railway train, with an engine
at each end, was run almost to the
American outposts. and in plain sight

reached gang of natives sprang of the

AGAINST the measure and in favor Of
hills hostile to American interests, and
that the government will probably re-
fuse to sanction it. The bill. as re-
norted back. provides for an examina-

and unheard of for days after their &C.

is a native of Lexington, KY, and a
grandson of Henry Clay. He brought

When Captain Hale was assigned to
brigade in the Philippines he APP
pointed Clay to the position OF adju-

advance, Captain Clay, riding erect, as
usual, received a bullet through the
neck. He lay six hours in the jungle
before he was discovered, and as the
wound was dangerous one at best,
his life was despaired of. His only
thought when he was brought into the
hospital was that his family should be
informed that he was but slightly in

the road to complete recovery.

than he to make life worth living,
for he had friends, success in his pro-
tession, and a vitality and physical
strength that made him the imperson-
alton of the athlete and soldier. His
earlessness and confidence in his pow
BIS contributed to his death. In the
beginning of the hot fight at Mariouina,
which General Hall conducted with
such skill and success that 1t was
worthy of more attention than the over
