FORWARDING At MANILA
AGUINALDOS ARMY CUT IN two
BY THE ADVANCE.
One Hundred Insurgents are Killed.
Two Towns Captured-Our Troops
Suffer Some Slight Losses.

MANILA, March 25.-2:25 p. M
General MacArthur's division, supple
mented by General Wheaton's brigade,
advanced at daylight and cut the enc
my's forces in two.
They captured the towns of Polo and
Novaleche on the left and San Fran
cisco del Monte and Mariquina on the
right, clearing the rebel trenches in
front of the line north from the river
to Caloocan. They also secured pos
cornering the flower of Aguinaldo's
army at Malabon and in the foothills
at Singalon, twenty miles apart.
The troops engaged were the Third
Artillery, Twenty-first Infantry, Mon
tana, Kansas. Nebraska, Wyoming,
Colorado, South Dakota Minnesota
and Oregon Volunteers, the Third,
Fourth, Seventh and Twenty-second
Regulars, the Utah Artillery Batta-
lion and Twenty-third regiment of the
brigade of General Harrison.
The American casualties were light,
while over 100 natives were killed
General Harrison Gray Otis brigade
is in front of La Iona, where there is
a stretch of a mile of rough open coun-
try. The insurgent trenches in the
edge of the woods are four feet deep
and furnish a good head cover.
The American troops advanced on
the double quick, yelling tiercely and
occasionally dropping in the grass and
firing by volley. The natives stood
until the Americans were within 200
yards of their position, and then broke
and ran for the woods. About thirty
of them were killed in the outskirts
and seventy of them on the roads.
The Montana and Kansas troops met
the hottest resistance in strip from
which the rebels have greatly worried
the Americans recently during the
night time.
Ninety minutes after the start--at
6 o'clock-the whole front for dis
tance of three miles to the north had
been cleared. General Hale's brigade
had simultaneously swept in north
westerly direction, routing the enemy
and burning the town of San Francis
co del Monte and number of scatter
ed hutS.
The line was then opposite Nova
leche, the artillery advancing along
good road from Laloma to Novale-
che, the wagons carrying pontoons,
telegraph supplies and the ammuni-
ton following. The infantry moved in
splendid order. Smoke from the burn
ing huts marked the line of the Amer
lean advance. Ambulances and horse
litters, led by Chinese, brought in the
wounded. among whom were few
Filipinos.
The Americans who were wounded
endured their injuries bravely, one
group which had been brought into
the hospital singing Comrades"
The Pennsylvania troops took nine
prisoners, among them a great naked
captain of the Macabebee tribe and
one Japanese. All the prisoners were
greatly terrified, excepting to be exc
cuted Immediately.

EARTHQUAKE AT SEA.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-The
local Branch photographic Office of
the Navy yesterday received details of
violent earthquake at sea during the
early part of this month. =. j. Hen
ming, third officer of the steamer Ia
coma. made the observations and for
warded the record of the disturbance
to Lieutenant w. S. Hughes. The Ia
coma runs between Tacoma and Noko-
hama. The earthquake happened at
0: 81 a. m. of March 18th. The Tacoma
was at the time i'm latitude north 33
deg. 30 min. and longitude east 1856
deg. - min. The earthquake lasted
sixteen seconds, and for IA while it
was thought that the steamer had
struck sunllen rock. The utmost
CONSERVATION prevailed on board, and
it was several hours before the excite
ment subsidized, So violent was the
shock that the engineer on watch at
the time was thrown to the deck with
considerable violence. Havoc was
wrought among the ships crockery,
and the ships company and passen-
gers received a jar to their nerves that
will not be soon forgotten.

SPAIN WANTS PRISONERS.
Is Negotiating Through Agoncillo for
Their Release.

NEW YORK, March PA cable to
the Sun from Madrid says: The Suns
correspondent has received informa-
ton from a private source that Agon-
clio. the Filipino representative, is
about to send an agent to this city to
negotiate with the Government for the
liberation of the Spaniards who are
held prisoners by the natives of the
Philippines.
Notwithstanding the fact that Gen
eral Otis, the American commander at
Manila, has refused to sanction nego-
tiations between the Spaniards and
Filipinos for the release of the Span
ish prisoners held by the latter, bas-
ing his refusal on the ground that the
money paid for the release of the cap
tives would be used to aid the insur-
gents against the Americans, the Span
ish Government has offered Aguinaldo,
the insurgent leader, 5000 pesetas for
the release of each Spanish officer
held by him. 500 pesetas for each sol
der and $50 for each civilian.

torney William A. Knox. Of Beaver the

tended that from the time Of Statehood

animal or animate Of the value OF lesS
than $50 was petit larceny McCormick's
offense was alleged to have been
committed April 20 1899, ten days be-
fore the new law, making the stealing
Of animals, regardless Of value. grand
larceny, became effective.
Assistant Attorney General W. A.
Lee, conceded Mr.. knoX's point, and

at the same time ordered Warden Dow
to hold the prisoner ten days pending

London, Dec 1.-THE almost COM
plete absence Of news from the theatre
Of war up to 2:30 o'clock this afternoon
increases public anxiety, so deeply
stirred by Saturdays disaster sucn
scanty messages as have drlbpled
through seem to indicate that prepare
tions are about completed for stimuli
taneous attacks at Tugela river and
Modder river-the dispatches showing
that the British and Beers were In
touch In both directions Monday
There Is no confirmation OF the report
OF another day-long battle along the
Modder river Monday, but possibly
there has been a resumption OF lighting
as reported By Gen. Cronje last even
ing, as the searching lyddite shell fire
OF Sunday was probably a preliminary
TO an advance.
A strange item Of news has reached
here from Boer sources, announcing
that the Waschbank bridge Is dam
aged. This is taken in some quarters as
a possible confirmation OF the sugges-
ton that the British have made a wide
sweep, by way Of Helpmaakar, and are
preparing to attack the Beers north OF
Ladysmith in the rear.
