WHEATON AFTER FILIPINOS'

Driving Them Back From the American
Right Flank. ....
MANILA, April 13. $40 p. m.-Gen-
eral Wheaton started at daylight, with
the Tenth Pennsylvania and the Second
Oregon regiments and two guns to drive
the rebels from the American right
flank, between the railroad and the foot
hills. He met with slight resistance
near Santa Maria, and had one man
wounded. But the enemy bolted when
shelled by the artillery, and burned and
abandoned the town Of Santa Maria,
where 1000 rebels were reported to
have been concentrated. During the
rest Of the day the enemy was in full
retreat towards the mountains, burning
the villages behind the retreating
forces. Occasionally few of the rebels
dropped to the rear and fired at the ad-
vancing American troops from the
jungle, apparently with the idea that
this would check our advance and cover
the retreat of the Filipinos. But find
ing these tactics Intellectual, these rebels
scrambled after the main body. The

not likely the rebels will succeed in get
ting in the future at as close quarters as
they did Tuesday, even if they return
from the mountains.

BOOKS ARE EVIDENCE,

Quay Defense Receives . bad Blow in
Their Admission.
PHILADELPHIA April 13.-When court
opened for the third day of the trial of
ex-United States Senator Quay, there
was indication ON all sides that the cru
cial point on the whole proceedings had
been reached, namely, the question of
the admission of the books of the bank
as evidence, and especially those docu-
ments found in the private desk Of CASH
ier Hopkins. The argument made by
David T. Watson, of Counsel for Mr..
Quay, in opposition to their admission
generally, and specifically to the private
letters written by Quay to Hopkins,
which were identified by Teller Tabor,
was the subject uppermost in the public
mind. A decision in favor of the de.
fense virtually means the collapse Of
the trial, while the admission of the
books may prove serious blow to the
defendant.
Books Decided to Re Evidence.
Judge Biddle took his seat promptly
at 10 o'clock. and after the jury had an
swered to their names, District Attor-
ney Rothermel began his reply to Mr..
Watson, urging the admission Of the
books Of the bank.
Judge Biddle decided that the books
of the bank are admissible as evidence.
he stated that he was not satisfied,
however, that the "red book" was
proper testimony against Senator Quay,
since it was not found among the reg
ular bank books. It has not yet been
regularly offered in evidence, and the
question of its admissibility will be de-
cided when it is presented.

ON A PEACE BASIS.
Order Prepared at the War Department
For Reorganizing the Army.


WASHINGTON, April l3.-An order has
been prepared at the war department
for the reorganization of the army on
peace basis. Most Of the general Off
GERS Of the volunteer establishment Will
be mustered out and radical changes
made in the staff department of the
same, including the discharge Of about
60 paymasters. With the exception of
Generals Otis, Shafter, Lawton and
Macarthur, all the volunteer major
generals will be discharged, including
Generals Wade, Wilson, Lee, Wheeler,
Bates, Young, Chaffee, Anderson, Sum-
ner, Ludlow, Henry and Wood. OF the
above list all but Generals Wilson, Lee
and Wheeler hold commissions of a
lower grade in the regular army and
consequently will not necessarily have
to relinquish their present commands.
Under its reorganization the army is
entitled to two additional major gen
erals, and General Otis and General
Shafter have been chosen for these ap-
pointments. " .z- s....
Muster Out of Volunteers.
Law officers Of the government are
discussing, in the light Of the presidents
proclamation announcing the conclusion
of peace, the question of mastering out
the volunteer army. 1t is agreed the
law will be construed to mean that the
muster out of troops shall be upon or
ders of the executive and that necessa-
rily there must be a delay Of month or
SO in the discharge of the volunteers
Meantime they will receive their pay
and allowances.
In accordance with precedent estab-
lished at the close of the Civil war a
few of the volunteer organizations may
be retained in the service for some time
although those who desire to return
home will he permitted to do SO. The
law authorities hold that in order
that the volunteers in the Phil
ippines may remain in the service in
accordance with the provisions of the
army law passed by the last congress,
they must re-enlist, not as organiza-
tions, but as individuals.
Big Inducement to Re-Enlist.
The organization and the individuals
who choose to go with them must be
mustered out in this country. Those
who will enlist in the Philippines will
receive not only the two months extra
pay provided for on their discharge
from the army, but also travel pay
from this country to the Philippines
and return amounting to about $500
The war officials have decided that it
would be more desirable to take a
trained soldier in the Philippines than
to send that soldier home and return a
raw recruit. If the applications for dis
charge are any criterion it is evident
that the volunteers in the Philippines
are not anxious to remain and will take
advantage of the law to demand their
muster out. The effect of the procla-
nation declaring peace will be felt by
the enlisted men in the regular army to
the extent of reduction Of 20 per cent
in Day
