clouds of dust and smoke. Alarm
was felt by the guests Of the Volcano

THE REBELS ROUTED.
General Wheaton Chased the Filipinos
Into the Hills.

Manila, April 14.-General Whea.
ton 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 foothills.
He met with slight resistance near
Santa Maria, and one man was wound
ed, but the enemy bolted when sheled
by the artillery. and burned and aban-
doned 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 toward the noun
tains, burning the villages behind the
retreating force. Occasionally a few
rebels dropped to the rear, and fired at
the advancing American troops from
the jungle, apparently with the idea
that this would check our advance and
cover the retreat of the Filipinos.
Finding these tactics Intellectual. these
rebels scrambled after the main body.
The American guard along the rail-
road has been materially strengthened,
and it is not likely the rebels will in
the future succeed in getting to as close
quarters az they did yesterday, even if
they return fiom the mountains.
General Wheaton has telegraphed to
General Otis, saying: "They would
not wait to be killed."
General Lawton is securing the
vicinity of Santa Cruz. He finds the
rebels have decamped. He has secured
gunboat, six launches and two
canoes, comprising the Filipino feet.
The vessels were stuck in the mud OF
the river. General Otis has sent a
dredge to the spot.
General Luna. who retired from the
command OF the Filipino forces and
who was editing newspaper at San
Francisco del Monte, his retirement be-
ing due to the fact that Fuchinos re-
belled at his rigid discipline, has been
recalled to the command. This is
taken as showing that the rebel army
is only kept together by harsh meas
uIeg.

Francisco Reyes, man who recent
ly purchased Spanish gunboats at
Zamboanga, island Of Mindanao, has
received advioes to the effect that the
fleet sailed for Manila, and returned a
few days later with the vessels stripped
OF their guns and ammunition.
The purchasers agents and native
crews of the vessels on board the
American steamer Butuan were con-
voyed to Zamboanga by the United
States cruiser Boston. and instructed
to await the arrival there of the United
States gunboat Petrol. Instead of do.
ing SO, after the Boston sailed for Fam
boanga, the Spaniards transferred their
gunboats to the agents of Senior Reyes,
and the feet left Zamboanaga unes-
corted. 1t soon returned and reported
having been boarded by rebels, who re-
moved the gunboats' armaments. II

commander had been obeyed their cap
ture would have been impossible.
Zamboanga is fortified and still gar
rlsoned by spaniards, and the affair
is regarded as suspicious.

LAZINESS OF KAFFIRS
Natives Employed in Mines VIII
Not Work Unless Closely

R. Ruoff, who left the Transvaal
last May for a tour of Europe and
America. in regard to labor conditions
in the Boer country, lately said to a
reporter for the Detroit Tribune:
Zone Of the miners in the copper
country will turn out as much work
as five of our men. We have to en-
ploy Kaffir labor. Kaffirs are notori-
ously lazy. and they require constant
supervision OF, they will quit work al
together. With every five Kaffirs one
white man is employed. One hole
drilled with hand drill Is considered
a days stint for a Kaffir. Although
our employees do not get as much pay
individually as the miners hereabouts.
yet labor costs us much more, because
one of the copper country miners will
do as much work as five Kaffirs.

Aguinaldo shows his own true char
acter and the spirit with which he
has carried on the campaign at the
head of the insurgent forces in the
Philippines, when he sees himself
hard pressed and the enemy about to
put an end to the struggle by the last
pull at the cinch, he sneaks away in
disguise like an unprincipled noun
tain outlaw, to find refuge where he
may, while his faithful followers are
left to meet whatever fate o'ertakes
them and to bear alone the bitterness
of defeat.
