ENEMY FLEES ON 4 TRAIN.
7iIipinos Driven From ApaIit by
General Macarthur.
SANSANS SWIM THE RIVER.

MANILA. April 27.-General MacAr-
ihur's division crossed the Rio Grande
yesterday and advanced on Apalit,
completely routing the flower of the
:ebei army.
Most OF the rebels fed to Apait sta
ion, where two trains were awaiting
hem. They left hurriedly, presuma-
bly, for San Fernando. The towns of
San Vicente and Apalit were stimuli
:aneousIy burned and evacuated by
The natives.
Twenty prisoners were captured, in
Guiding a Spanlard.
The American troops also captured
brass cannon and quantity of arms
and ammunition, and the same even
ing they captured a Maxim gun on
The railroad
The fighting lasted from noon until
o'clock this afternoon.
The American loss is one man of the
Montana regiment, killed, and three
officers and six men wounded
The enemy was very strongly in
trenched on the 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 a
rope, under CALLING fire, for the pur-
pose of guiding the raft.
The men crossed in squads of twenty
and attacked the left flank of the
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 the 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 a large body of
Filipinos, estimated at 5000, led by
General Antonio Luna on a 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
thiclr 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 un-
aware that the Americans had crossed
the river, broke and ran in the direc-
ton of Macabele The other Filipiuos
fed toward Apalit station.
The heat in the early part of the
! afternoon was terrific, but a drench-
ing thunder storm, which came later,
greatly refreshed the Americans.

Awful Havoc OF the Tornado at Newton.
Mo, Thirteen Dead

Mo, Thirteen Dead
CHILIcoTHE. Mo-. April % = The
tornado which struck Newton, a small
town forty miles north of ChilIicothe
yesterday afternoon, a quarter to Il
o'clock, killed thirteen persons and
wounded twenty-eight others The
storm came from the southwest and
lasted only five minutes
When it was over the sun came out
on a scene of ruin. Twenty houses
were wrecked. A street in the south
west part OF the town, on which was
a row of ten houses, received the full
force of the storm, and scarcely any
body in that neighborhood escaped
death or injury. The row of houses
was entirely demolished.
s. Desper and his family were caught
under the falling walls of their house
and crushed to death. The bodies of
Desper, his wife and three children
We're found. Mrs William Hays was
killed while running up the street in
search of shelter Her head was sew
cred from her body. Mrs. Hays hus-
band and two children were killed
Three others of her children were
wounded.
Twelve bodies lie on the depot plat
form at Newtown this morning. One
other death is reported, but the name
is not known.
The people were taken BY surprise
and a few of them had the presence of
mind to seek shelter in cellars before
the storm was upon them. The walls
of buildings fell with a crash that
sounded above the roar of the storm,
burying persons in the ruins. Frame
buildings were twisted and lifted from
their foundations. Many were utterly
demolished, pieces of them being car
ried for miles. Others were shisted in
position, but were apparently unhurt-
One house was turned squarely around,
another was turned upside down, but
neither of them seemed to be badly
damaged by the shaking up.
The entire eastern half of the town
was destroyed. The path of the
storm was about 500 or GOO feet wide,
and hardly a dwelling in its course
escaped. Fifty persons at least are
homeless
A thunder storm followed the tor
nado- Women and children ran about
the streets shrieking. Men searched
the ruins in the drenching rain, hop
ing to locate the bodies of victims.
The news of the loss of life and the
number of wounded was telegraphed
to Chillicothe and physicians were re-
quested to come from this city. A
number responded to the call
