make one or two more stands, the forces
of Aguinaldo will degenerate in perhaps
month to a few hundred, who may
continue waging a guerrilla warfare in
the mountains.
The American troops behaved splen-
didly. They advanced steadily, clearing
successive lines of trenches through the
woods and jungles and suffering from
the frightful heat. In addition, the
American volunteers were handicapped
in fighting by the fact that their Spring
field rifles are OF shorter range than the
Mauser rifles in the hands of the rebels.
Under these circumstances the steady
advance of our troops is a remarkable
achievement But the most noteworthy
feature of this onward sweep of the
Americans is the patience and endurance
of the private soldiers.
This afternoon the victorious Ameri-
can army is feasting on cocoanuts and
bananas and enjoying a we'll earned rest
while the hospital train is carrying the
wounded back to Manila.

Particulars of the Advance.

MANILA, March 3l.-3:55 p. m.-Gen-
eral Macarthur started for the rebel
capital at o'clock this morning with
two rapidly-fring guns fanking the
track, two guns of the Utah battery on
the right and two guns of the Sixth
artillery firing continuously. The
Kansas aud Montana regiments moved
upon Malolos, and the Nebraska and
Pennsylvania regiments and Third
artillery kept along the right of the
railroad.
The only effective stand made by the
rebels was at an earthwork, half mile
from Malolos, and on the right, where
the Nebraska regiment, as was the case
yesterday, had the hardest work and
suffered the greatest loss.
The Filipino flag, WHICH was flying
from the center of the town, was haule d
down by some men of the Montana regi-
ment, who subsequently raised their
own above it.
From the columns of smoke arising
from the city, it seemed as if the whole
place was ablaze. It turned out how
ever, that only the presidencia, or gov.
eminent building, and a few of the
smaller buildings had been set afre by
the rebels before they evacuated the
place.
From reports gathered by the Amer
ican officers from prisoners and others.

MANILA, March 31.-3:55 p. NAT
10 o'clock this morning the American
flag was raised over Malolos. The Kan
sas and Montana regiments on entering
the city found it deserted, the presidencia
burning, and the rebels retreating
towards the mountains in a state of
terror. 1t is believed they cannot in
future make even faint resistance. The
American loss is small.
1t is evident the rebels some time ago
abandoned all hope of holding their cap
ital, for the Americans found there elab-
crate prerarations for the evacuation.
Most of the rebels forces were removed
yesterday evening to positions east of the
railroad, leaving only some small bands
in the strong trenches in front of Malolos.
