A Rebel Warehouse Containing Arch

Manila, May 2, sos .. m--Generaf
Funston has discovered a rebel ware
house in Cabanutan province, New
Egiji. containing all the archives Of the
Malolos government, Aguinaldo's cor
respondence up to the time OF his flight
and much valuable historical matter.
The belief is growing that Aguinaldo
was killed by the Igorottes. There is
no proof that he has been alive since
Major Peyton c. March of the Twenty
third regiment abandoned the chase
after the Filipino leader In the Ben
quet mountains. An insurgent officer
who recently surrendered to General
Young, says the insurgent general,
Tinio, holds this belief. Tinio held reg
ular communication with Aguina!do
until December %, since when he has
heard nothing from him, and Tinio
thinks Aguinaldo would find means to
communicate with him II alive. Major
March's information was that there
were only half a dozen soldiers with
Aguinaldo when he fed beyond the
Bontoc wilderness, where are savages
hostile to all strangers. The friends Of
Aguinaldo's wife assert she has heard
nc,h'rg from him since they parted.

AMERICANS KILLED
THIRTY MEN BESIEGED FOR FIVE
DAYS IN A PHILIPPINE
CHURCH.
Twenty Of the Brave Men Meet Death
But Infiict Terrible Punishment
Upon the Attacking Party, Two
Hundred of Whom Were Killed
Church Roof Burned.

| Manila, MAJ 2.-The American garri-
son Of CatuDig, island of Samar, con-
sisting Of thirty men belonging to the
F%orty-third regiment, has been attack
ed by rebels.
Twenty of the Americans were killed.
The remainder were rescued.
The Americans were quartered in the
Catubig church, which the enemy, mum
bering several hundred men, surround
ed and flercely attacked. The Ameri-
cans fought for two days and then the
rebels managed to ignite the roof Of the
church, and it burned away and finally
fell upon those inside the edifice. The
walls remained intact, however, and
were used as a shelter by the besieged
Americans for three days longer, the
enemy attacking the building on all
sides at once.
The Americans continued 1irirg from
the windows and doors OF tie church,
and did good execution am ing the Fill
pinos. 1t is estimated that over 200 Of
the latter were killed. many dead bodies
being removed from the scene of the
fighting.
After five days resistc nc, by the
Americans, a lieutenant al 4 Gig hit men
arrived from Laoan and engaged the
besiegers, who %thereupon i,stired.
The fortunate arrival of these REIN
forcements prevented the humiliation
Of the American force intrenched in
the church, who had repeatedly declin-
ed to surrender when ordered.
The ten survivors were without food,
had little ammunition and were ex-
hausted when relieved.
This fight has encouraged the Fill
pinos, who are now acting in an ag-
gressive name and threatening that
section Of the coast, particularly the
town Of Catarma, whence the garrison
will probably be withdrawn to Laoan.

HARD FIGHTING AT SEVERAL
POINTS, BUT NO DE-
TAILS GIVEN.
English Trying to Drive Boers-Claim

and Hontnek-Supplies for Trans

Sustain Severe Losses.

London, May 3-Hard fighting Is re-
ported at several points in the Orange
Free State, but the details are meagre,
1t is possible, however, to form a gen
eral idea of the scope of the operations.
The Beers appear to be concentrated
in considerable force along the hills,
which stretch like on arc or a bent
bow from the n~eighborhood Of Karee
Siding to Thaba Nchu, to cover the
main road from Bloemfontein to Win
burg.
Lord Roberts decided Tuesday to
clear the Beers out Of three kopjes to
the asst of Karee Siding. This wal
done by mounted infantry in ~co-opera-
ton with General Maxwell's brigade,
moving from V~lakfontein, which had
been seized on the previous day. Cen
eral Tucker was in command. The b.
ers abandoned their hide-and-seek tao
tics, came out in the open plain and
suffered severe losses.
On the same day the British forces
at Houtenek, " miles north OF Thaba
Nchu, gained possession Of a pass
commanded on both sides by Beers.
The Canadians and Gordon Highland
ers stormed a hill to the left and the
Shropshires and Marshall's horse at
tackled in front, driving the Doors in
confusion to the north. The object Of
these movements is evidently to try to
thrust the Beers back far to tho east
and make their i~ntrenchments at
Brandfort untenable, thus clearing the
way for troops moving up from Bloem-'
fontein.
The same desultory shelling and
sniping at Warrenton which has been
daily reported continues.
