heard to remark, HAD I only known this

The most noticeable absence was that
of three deasons, Messrs. Vance, Lutier
and Dougherty, who positively refused to
be present and take the holy sacrament
from Mr.. Seudder's hand, though it has
been the duty of one of these men, Mr..
Vance to Law the communion cloth for

communion were Messrs. Harold Trent,

Armys gunboats Laguna de Bay and
Cavadonga, under command of Captain
Grant, which started up the San Fernan-
do River for Guagua on yesterday, as was
presumed to establish there a base of
supplies for the troops engaged in the
northern campaign. returned today, Ma
jor General Macarthur having failed to
connect with the expedition. The gun
boats found rebels entrenched at Sosmoan
and Guagua, on the water fronts. of the
towns. The vessels steamed past the
works, sheliing the occupants and driv-
ing them out. Landing parties from the
boats entered both towns, capturing at
Sesmoan a Spanish Captain in uniform,
who was ostensbly prisoner in the
hands of the rebels, and also a native
officcr.I
Arriving at Guagua, the town and a
small gunboat were found to be burning,
and the natives were evacuating the place
in consequence of the bombardment. At
Sosmoan the landing party captured
number of Filipino flags and a quantity
of arms, chiefly bolos and bows and ar
rows, besides aslot of band instruments,
which the men played as they marched
back to the boats.
Captain Grants expedition will prob
ably return up the San Fernando River
after having been reinforced, on having
recently purchased light draft Spanish
steamers
The Fihpinos surprised the United
States forces at San Fernando with a
daring trick yesterday. A railway train
with an engine at each end was run
almost to the American outposts and in
plain sight of the town. Before they
could be reached a gang of natives sprang
off the train, tore up several lengths of
the railway track, boarded the train again
and the train steamed away SO quickly
that there was no opportunity to capture
the raiders.
The Nebraska regiment is asking for
temporary relief from duty. Only 375
men of this regiment are left at the front.
