Oregon regiments and two guns to
drive the rebels fFom the American
right flank, between the railroad and
the foothills. He met with slight re-
sfstance 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 a thousand rebels
were reported to have been eoncen-
trated. During the rest of the day
the enemy was in full retreat towards
the mountains, burning the villages

ly with the idea that this would check
our advance and cover the retreat of
the Filipinos. But, finding these
tactics Intellectual, these rebels scram-
bled after the main body. General
Wheaton has telegraphed to Major
General Otis, saying: They would
not wait to be killed.

The United States Philippine COM

the future of the islands.
All of those who have been interro-
gated, including Filipinos who sym
pathize theoretically with independ-
ence. declare that absolute independ-
ence would result in chaos. endless tri-
bal wars and European Intervention. A
| few of them think that provincial self
government is practicable, but most
of them favor self government in the
townships, with form of American
supervision protecting the inhabitants
against the populations and extortions
which their experience with the Span
ish regime has led them TO consider
the natural perquisites of official6om.
The commercial classes urge the
! sending of attachments of American
troops, each numbering about 100 men,
TO take possession of the towns in the
southern provinces and in the Wis
ayas islands, now held by small bands
of Tagalos. They declare the natives
find the Tagalo oppression worse than
Spanish oppression.
The capture of Santa Cruz was eff
fected on Monday after some sharp,
quick fighting. About 800 picked men
composed the American expedition,
which was under General Lawton. In
the battle only one American was kill

retreat to the beach after having being
caught in an ambush on a German
plantation that day. The expedition
was led by Lieutenant Freeman, of the
British third class cruiser Tauranga.'
Lieutenant Freeman and Lieutenant

Monaghan, of the United States cruiser
Philadelphia, were left dead on the
field. Ensign Monaghan remained to
assist Lieutenant Lansdale, and was
shot in retiring. Two British and two
American sailors were also killed
The natives engaged were some OF
Mataafa's warriors. They severed the
heads of the British and American of
ficers killed. Priests of the French
mission afterwards brought the heads
tlllO Apld.
The manager of the German plan
tation has been arrested and detained
on board the Tauranga. on affidavits
declaring that he was seen urging the
rebels to fight.
Eight hundred of Mataafa's men
were in the ambush, and the American
and British force amounted to 105.
The fighting was terrific, the American
and British tars repeatedly beating
back their assailants, who sought to
overwheim them by force of numbers.
After the rebels had been driven off
the bodies of the three officers were re-
covered.
Mataafa's loss was 40 killed and Il
number wounded, these being carried
off the field by the rebels when they
retired. The bodies of Lansdale, Mona

were no casualties among the European
force
There is constant fighting with the
natives around Apia, and the life of
no European in the islands is safe.
