SATISFACTION EXPRESSED.
Much satisfaction expressed at the press re,

road leading to Maloos; the insurgent headquarters
The danger the Americans had been exposed to was
the cutting Of the line of communication with Manila

~ Gen. OOrbn's attention called to the indica-
tion from the cabegram that the engagement seemed
to be general along the American line from the pump

around to point due north of vast crescent, twenty
miles long. He expressed the belief that this was
only apparent; that Otis had used the word "de-

to distract the attention of the enemy the main

attack by the Americans from the direction of the
pumping station, they would be eutfanked

The latest advices showed that Gen. Otis plans
were being carried out with relentless regularity. At
that time Polo, Novalch and Marquina We're in the
hands Of the Americans, and preparations being
made to move against Malabon directly north Of
Manila and to the west Of Novalich, in the loss Of

the officials in the complete Of the American

strategy exhibited by Otis and his generals Nc
Arthur especially in for commendation being the
active leader of the advancing column thrown first
against the insurgents line. The opinion expressed
at the department that the American troops
would bvouac the field rather In the jungle and
would take up the onward movement Immediately at
sun rise tomorrow. There question about stop
ping at this point; the movement was intended to
break the rebel power and 1t would pushed the
utmost until the rebels surrendered fed beyond
reach in the mountains and jungles.
UNDER GEN. OTIS.
It is said at the department that Gen. Otis has
under his command at Manila and vicinity about q 600
solders Aguinaldo, according to Gen. Otis last report
has about 10000 armed men. Gen. Corbin estimates
that the American flying column in action today
about 10000 men strong. The insurgents, according
to Gen. Otis, had about 120 600 men in line But Agu
nados reserve 2S 600 strong is far distant from

ed that some Of them, including the leader himself
may have been drawn into todays struggle in which

The F1lpinos never except opposite MalaboD per-

Leaving the Tenant farm the cyclone

BROOKE has MADE NO REPORT.
Relieved the Leaders Want to DomI-
nate Cuban Affairs.

Washington, May T.--Gen. Brooke
made no report to-day to the war depart
ment upon the reported non-success Of
the effort TO induce Cuban soldiers in
Havana to lay down their arms and ac-
cept the gratuity provided for them.
The officials are greatly disappointed
but feel that they have done all that in
fairness could be expected OF them, and
If the remaining Cuban soldiers are of
the same mind as those In Havana the
government will not long delay "A with
drawal of the offer
The suspicion is growing here that while
the leaders of the opposition to the policy
of che United States In this matter do not
contemplate the foolhardy attempt a in
surrection, they are trying to retain the
Cuban army In organization and within
their call, so that they may dominate
the affairs of the island by force II need
be, when the United States forces are
withdrawn and the independence of the
island is acknowledged.
Another explanation offered is that the
existence OF large Cuban army has been
exaggerated.
