FROM MANILA.

The FiIipinos yesterday burned the
city of Bulacan, which was few miles
in front of the American advance. 1t

would make a stand there, but the

T0-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
The Advance on NIalolos.

Manila, March 29.-General Near
thur has resumed the advance. He has
taken Bocave, eight miles from the
Filipino capital. He is meeting with
little resistance, and may reach the
vicinity of Malolos this evening, but
the battle will probably not begin un-
til tomorrow. Bridges, railway tracks
and telegraph lines are being repaired
as the troops proceed. Towns in front
of advance are being destroyed by fire.
The division made two mile march
without encountering the enemy. a
score OF dead insurgents, whose Threats
had been cut, were found. The men
were probably killed because they re-
fused to continue the fight against the
Americans. Reports received here as
sert that the Filipinos are moving their
capital to San Fernando about ten miles
north of Malolos. Aguinalio and his
family are, it is said, preparing to take
flight from Malolos.
General MacArthur's troops have
reached Bigaa and are now practically
in sight of the Filipino capital. Our
losses today were four men killed and
thirty wounded.
General Mac Arthurs division took
lunch today at Bigaa, seven miles from
Malolos, the Filipino capital, and the
headquarters of Aguinaldo.
The troops started on their march at
six o'clock this morning. The Ameri-
can front was four miles long when the
advance was made. The Americans
had gone but little over half mile
when the enemy appeared in force and
opened fire at the advancing troops.
The order to charge was given and the
whole line rushed on the Flllplnos.
The latter were driven across the b.
! cave river with severe losses.
Twenty-Five were killed in front OF
the Pennsylvania volunteers alone and
the other regiments engage& did equal
y effective work.
The men of the First Nebraska dur.
ing the engagement swan the river un-
der fire and did much to disconcert the
enemy Bocave was captured at 5
o'clock this morning and then the Sc
cond advance to Bigsa,a distance of two
miles, was made. Bigea was captured
without a shot being fired, the enemy
fleeing at the approach OF the Ameri-
cans. The troops are eager to attack
| the Filipino stronghold at Malolos.
1t looks now as if that place would be
reached tomorrow. A number of pri.
soners who were taken by the Ameri-
cans say the leaders alone prevent the
Filipinos from surrendering.

EXCLUDED THE CROWD.

at Staunton yesterday the trial came
up of Joseph F. Fitch, farm hand,
and married, and forty years old, charg-
ell with wronging Miss Augusta Wise,
the sixteen-y esr-old daughter of Adam
Wise. wealthy farmer and cattle deal
or OF N'eyer's Cave. Commonwealth's
ATTORNEY Gordon called as first wit
ness Miss Wise, the pros ecutrix. Before
beginning her testimony, Judge Chalk
ley cleared the courtroom of all save
officers, brother in-law Of Flick, and repre-
tatives of the press. The prisoners counsel
vigorously objected to this as { denial of the
constitutional rights of speedy and public
trial" Judge Chalkley gave SIS his reason
for excluding the general public that 1t vas
in the interest OF public morals. Miss Wise
who said she had been 20 the public schools
since she was eight years old, proved most
reluctant witness, so that the commonwealth
had recourse TO leading questions She said
that from her early childhood days Flick,
who lived with his family on her fathers
farm, used to fondle her and give her candy
and presents, openly at first, but afterward
stealthily. Later he PROPOSED to love her,
and in May, 1897, began the relations which
were continued for some time. Miss Wise Is
now mother. The Wjses are prominent,
we'll TODD people in their section of the
county, and Flick was the trusted employee of
Wise, managing his affairs when Wise went
North with his cattle The accu ed has
hitherto held 3 good reputation His counsel
are James Bumgartner and Charles Curry and

The law provides that no man snail

not physically sound. Among the men
who enlisted in the U. s. army during
the late Spanish war, were many who
were drawing pensions for physical dis
ability. The re-enlistment OF some OF

fraudulent pensions, and, of course
their names were stricken from the

Communication

ED. APPEAL: We note an article III the
Gazette rom a Reno ~Wheelman.' stat
ing that Reno had beaten Carson twice in
the 50-mile relay race, and consequently
the coming race would not decide the
State championship.
In behalf of the Racing Committee of
the {. A. {. we must state that wheel
man is laboring under a false idea. One
5o-mile relay race was run in Carson, in
which the Carson team wen. The second
one was run in Reno. in which the Reno
team won-this was two years ago this
been 10 race between the teams. Prob
ably "Wheelman" has reference to the
25-mile relay in which Carson partic-
jpated. This was a three cOrnered affair
between Reno, SusanviIle and Carson.
and had no connection whatever with the
50-mlle relay. Our boys. although not ia
condition, simply entered this race for
the purpose of helping Reno out, but had
no earthly idea Of winning same. as their
men had not trained above a week.
Consequently "Wheelman'' must not
confeund the 25-mile relay with e. 50-mils
one. The posters are positively correct
Both Reno and Carson have won a 30
mile relay and the coming one w IL de
eide which team can claim the champions
ship. Hoping this explanation is explicit
to "WheelEnan,' We remain your truly.

A Wall From Washoe

1t is unfortunate for Reno and the
Truckee Meadows that the river
should be so exceedingly low just at a
time when more Mater would stiulu-
late eastern capitalize invest III manu-
featuring and smelling works. An
eastern syndicate, headed by Geo.
Burton, bought the old reduction
works on the first OF May. The COM
pany have paid out a good deal OF
money remodellng the plant and have
given employment to from fifteen to
twenty-five men all summer. They
started up a short time ago and were
intending to put on a large force OF
men and run day and night, but as
usual, in July and August, OF late
years the water gave out and NJ. Bur
ton has been obliged to close down
for the lack Of. power. II is a burn
ing shame that a town and county
that has such facilities for az album
dant water supply for every purpose
should find the river bed dry fo1 two
months III the year when it is needed
for power and agricultural purposes
more thar at any other season,
Comparatively little money exn-nd
ed in a storage reservoir somewhere
in the mountains would make TIT
supply abundant ior all purposes tn
year round.
The above is from the Reno Gazett
At the last session Of the Lesislatur,
Ed. Boyle had a scheme to tunue
Lake Tahoe and also to raise IL
water in the Lake.
This scheme was vigously Tough
by all of Washoe county, for reason
best known to themselves and tn

scheme. Five millions of easter
capital stood ready to invest, bl
