ADVANCE BEGUN.

Manila. Jan. 1.-The first movement OF
a general southern advance occurred
yesterday, when two battalions OF the
Thirty-ninth infantry landed and occu-
pied Cabuyao, on the south side OF
Laguna De Bay. Two Americans were
killed and four were wounded, "a of the
enemy's dead were found in one house.
One hundred and fifty prisoners and four
pound rapid-fre guns were cap
tured.
The gunboat Laguna De Bay bonn
barded the town before the disembarka-
ton of the troops from the cascoes,
which was made under the enemys
shrapnel fire. The enemy evacuated the
place before the charging Americans,
retreating to Santa Rosa, to which town
they were pursued. Heavy fighting oc-
Cured along the road to Santa Rosa,
which was occupied by the insurgents
retreating south towards Slang. The
Americans burned the country between
and around Cabuyao.
The gunboat returned to Calamba for
reinforcements and then came to Manila
to fetch ammunition. She recently cap
tured two of the enemy's steam launches,
one under the fire of artillery at Calamba,
and also four cascoes loaded with rice.
Other regiments are mobilizing at San
Pedro, Macati and Pasig, preparatory to
continuing the southern advance.
Sundays capture of bombs involved
the seizure of documents inculpating
1000 Filipinos who intended to rise
against the Americans. Papers were
also found showing a distribution of the
city into districts and a careful assign
ment of leaders and followers. The pre-
cautions taken by the Americans on
Saturday, it is now evident, alone pre-
vented an uprising.
The provost marshal requested that
two more regiments to be detailed for
| the protection of Manila. Three thou
sand troops are now actually in the city.
Aguinaldo's wife, sisters and IS Fill
pinos have surrendered to Major March's
battalion of the Third infantry at Bon
toe, province of that name.
Three Filipino officers also surren-
dered to Major March, and the Fillpinos
gave up two Spanish and two American
| prisoners.
1t was announced from Manila Dec. q
that Colonel Wilder some time previous
to Dec. IL, or perhaps that day, had tele-
graphed to Vigan, from Bayombong
that Aguinaldo, with a number of Igor
roti litter bearers, had crossed the
mountains near Bayombong, going
southwark, and that his wife had died If
a village in that vicinity. 1t was added
that she had been i'll since the birth o
their son, and that the hardships of thei
fight proved fatal.

WAR IN THE TRANSVAAL.

London, Jan. 1.-THE following dis
patch, dated Jan. l, has been received
from Renstburg:
Yesterday afternoon big force OF
cavalry and infantry with 10 guns, I'M
der personal command of General
French, moving by detour, occupied some
hills three miles from Colesberg, where
the Beers were in strength, confident in
the natural aid afforded them by the
hills around.
1.-THE enemy's position extended six
miles around the entire village. At day
break our artillery opened the battle.
The Beers were taken by surprise, but
replied vigorously. An artillery duel
was maintained for two hours. Then
Boer Hotchkiss collapsed and was
abandoned. We captured it. Boer
big gun was silenced; but this and the
other Boer guns were withdrawn to the
northward, whittier we are harrassing
the Boer retreat by damaging shell

Now that General French has the
Beers on the run, the hope is expressed
that he will give them no rest, but will
harrass them until they have found
their way across the Orange river, which

berg, and crosses the river by a fine
bridge, 1910 feet long. 1t is believed that

whether General French will be able

Colesberg is an important strategic
