AEBRAsKAns SEVERE SUFFERERS

Washington, March 81. - General
Otis cables as follows: q
Troops are resting at Malolos. a
considerable portion of the city was
destroyed by fire. Our casualties were
N killed and fifteen wounded.
"Hali has returned with his troops
to his former position, south Of Ma
Mia"
Manila, March 3l.-3:55 p. m.-The
American flag was raised over Malolos
at 10 o'clock tins morning The Kan
sas and Montana regiments, on enter
ing the city found it deserted, the
presidencia burning and the rebels re-
treating towards the mountains in q
state of terror. 1t is believed that
they cannot in the future make ever
a faint resistance. The American loss
is small.
1t is evident the rebels for sons time
past had abandoned all hope of hold
ing their capital, for the Americans
found evidence of elaborate prepara-
tons for evacuation on the railroad,
rails and ties for about a mile having
been torn up and probably thrown
into the river. The only prisoners cap
tured were u few Cinnamon. They said
Aguinaldo left Malolos Wednesday,.
The principal citizens of Malolos,
their families and goods were taken
into the country over the railroad,
while the others departed on foot,
carrying their possessions and driving
their cattle and other animals before
them.
Most of the rebel forces removed yes
tcrday evening to positions east OF
the railroad, leaving only some small
bands in the trenches in front of Ma
lolos.
Macarthur started for the rebel cap
itnl at z o'clock this morning with two
rapid-fire guns thanking the track, two
guns of the Utah battery on the right
and two guns of the Sixth artillery on
the left, all firing continuously.
The Kansas and Montana regiments
moved upon Malolos and the Nebraska
and Pennsylvania regiments and the
Third artillery kept up along the right
of the railroad.
The only effective stand made by
the rebels was at u bamboo and earth
Ell work n half mile from Malolos and
on the right, where the Nebraska reg
iment, as was the case yesterday, had
