MANILA. April 97--General MacAr-
thurs division crossed tho Rio Grande
yesterday and advanced on Apalit,
completely routing the flower OF the
rebel army.
The enemy was very strongly in
trenched on tho river bank, near both
sides of the railroad bridge General
Wheaton sent Colonel Funston across
with two companies Of the Twentieth
Kansas regiment, couple OF privates
swimming the swift stream with u
rope, under a calling fire, for the pur'
pose Of guiding the raft,
The men crossed in squads Of twenty
and attacked the left flank of tho
rebels, who scuttled like rabbits into
covered ways and trenches.
The rest of the regiment was COM
PEELED to cross the bridge in single
file along the stringers. All the wood
work and much Of tho ironwork had
been removed. The First Montana
regiment followed the Kansans across
the bridge,
The First Nebraska regiment, act
ing as reserve, attacked the rebels
in three lines of trenches, driving
them out, killing sixteen and wound
ing many.
In the meantime large body OF
Filipinos, estimated at 1900, led by
General Antonio Luna on black
charger, that was evidently coming to
reinforce the rebels who were engaged
with the Nebraskans, appeared in the
open field about two miles to the left
Emerging from the jungle, the
enemy formed an open skirmish line
nearly two miles in length, with very
thiclT reserves behind. Then they ad-
vanced at double quick until they
were about 1000 yards from the Amer
lean line, when General Wheaton or
dered his troops to fire.
The rebels, who were evidently I'M
aware that the Americans had crossed
the river, broke and ran in the direc.
tion Of Macabele. The other Filipinos
fed toward Apalit station.
The heat in the early part Of the
afternoon was terrific, but drench-
ing thunder storm, which came later,
greatly refreshed the Americans.

There has been rlotlng among the
American and italian miners em-
ployed In the Hidden Treasure and
Ute and Ulay mines at Hensen, Col,
and the cause Of 1t all Is Kitty Law
renee, a pretty clearinghouse
waitress. After working in Denver all
last summer Miss Kitty decided that
che would like to spend the winter In
some of the mountain towns. She Wis
tied the different employment Offices,
where she left her address, saying
that she wanted place outside of the
city. Mrs. g. Mitchell got an order
from Lake City for waitress to work
In clearinghouse at that place. She
sent for Kitty Lawrence, who decided
to accept This was about the mid
die Of last October, and the next day
Kitty Lawrence was on her way to the
mining camp. When she went to work
In the clearinghouse she was pleas
ant to all, as usual. Among the
boarders we're several Italians, and the
new girl treated all alike. The Ital-
ians were not accustomed TO pollteness
from an American girl and they fell
In love with her. Kitty Lawrence did
not know that she had won the hearts
Of the Italians, and when they bowed
and suffered to her, she thought 1t
was out OF respect to her, because she
had treated them courteously. The
bowling and suffering increased as
time went on, and at last one OF the
Italians, who was holder than the 9TH
ers, went to the waitress and vowed
that he could not live unless she would
consent to become his wife, The offer
of the Italian was heartily rejected,
and Kitty Lawrence gave 1t out that
she was going to look for another
place to work. The rejected Italian
told his countrymen that the waitress
had rejected him on account Of his
nationality This enraged all of them,
80 they decided that their honor must
be indicated and that she should pay
the penalty with her life.
A few nights ago these Italians
placed some dynamite on the window
sill OF Kitty Lawrence's bedroom. The
fuse and cap were attached and the
would-be murderers stood off at a dis
lance to watch their fiendish work.
The explosion came and the side Of the
bedroom was torn out, but Kitty Law
renee, white in face and garb, stood
among the wreckage uninjured.
The report of the attempted assass-
nation spread through that section,
and the Americans in the camp de-
manded of the sheriff that the per-
petrators Of this crime be brought to
Justice. The sheriff was unable to cope
with the Italians, and he called upon
the governor of the state, asking that
he send the militia to his aid. More
than 100 italian miners, all heavily
armed, entrenched themselves near
the Hidden Treasure and Ute and Ulay
mines, ready to shoot anybody who
might come near them, and threatened
all sorts Of violence to the authorities,
the company, or anybody not In SYM
pathy with them. Upon the appearance
Of the troops the Italians surrendered,
and they are now under arrest. After.
the explosion Kitty Lawrence took
shelter under the protecting wing OF
tht Americans In the camp. It was
feared that another attempt would DO
