FLOOD SITUATION BETTER.

Water in the Missouri Falling at Up
River Points.
Sioux City, Ia, April 27.-The Mis-
souri, flood situation took great change
for the better during the day at Sioux
City and up-river points. The water
dropped about four feet and the indica-
lions are that the fall will continue.
The danger to Riverside Park, Sioux
City's summer resort, is now considered
past. If the water continues falling
rapidly, farmers on the lowlands which
have been flooded will yet be able to
put in crop.

REBELS USED ARTILLERY.
Made an Energetic Defense of Their Posi-
ton at Calumpit.

ton at Calumpit.
MANILA, April &c. Aguinaldo's
army defended Calumpit energetically.
For the first time the Filipinos en-
ployed artillery. They brought two
guns into action in the trenches before
Calumpit, firing modern shrapnel,
which burst over the heads Of General
Wheaton's men without effect.
The fighting was resumed at o'clock
in the morning. During the night the
American engineers repaired the Bag
bag bridge, thus enabling our troops to
cross the river.
General Wheaton's brigade advanced
in extended order, with the Kansas reg
iment west of the railroad, and the
Montana regiment to the east of
it, and took up position covering
one and a half miles on the south bank
of the Rio Grande. On the opposite
bank were fortified trenches from which
a few American soldiers would have
been able to defy thousands, so strongly
were they constructed.
Found the Trenches Deserted.
The Americans found the trenches on
the south bank of the river deserted,
which furnished them with cover, from
which they would pick off Filipinos
whenever one Of them showed his head.
When the rebels began firing, two puffs
of smoke simultaneously from the
trenches on each side of the railroad
track showed they were using cannon,
which was genuine surprise to the
Americans. Several shells burst close
to General Wheaton's staff, but it
seemed that the Filipinos failed to mas
ter the machinery of modern shells, as
they were unable to get the right range.
Young's Utah battery was ordered
into position in the center of the Kansas
regiment to silence the rebel guns, and
at II o'clock the rapid fire guns had
been ferried across the river and came
into line. -.
At noon the rebels We're still pouring
a heavy fire in the direction of the
Americans, who returned it spiritedly.
Two Americans were killed and seven
were wounded.
At about this time General Hale's
brigade was advancing east of the line,
apparently to cross the river and attack
the rebel trenches in the flank.
