WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.
Filipino European Junta Gives Out a Few
Items of News

Filipino European JUnta Gives Out Few
Items of News.
LONDON, April 20.-The Filipino
European junta claims to have re-
ceived a cablegram from General Luna,
commanding the Manila district" di
rect from Manila, on Friday, declaring
that General Lawton, whose object
was to proceed to Baler and effect a
junction with the Yorktown" was in
weighed by the Filipino tactics into
"perilously extending his line, with the
result that column, consisting of l4O
officers and men, on reaching place
called Binangonam, was ambushed by
large Filipino force, communication
with the main force severed, and the
entire column was captured"
The Filipino advices further assert
| that General Lawton, who was at La
guna de Bay, on hearing the news re
tired to Manila, stating that he had
been recalled by Major General Otis, on
the ground that native rising in Ma
Mia was imminent"
The foregoing is said to be separate
affair from the disappearance of the
| boats crew of the Yorktown in the vi.
cinity of Baler.
The Filipinos also claim that they
have occupied the town of Zamboanga
in the Southern part of the the island OF
| Minandano, which was recently evacu-
ated by the Spaniards, only few of the
latter remaining to hand over the place
to the Americans. The Filipinos are
also said to have captured 1000 Mausel
rifles, all the ammunition and several
| gunboats, which the rebels say they
have navlgated up the Rio Grande, and
| ont of reach of the Americans

One morning, as one of his neighbors
