MANIL1A , April 15. ( New York
World Cablegram. ) I have Just re
turned tonight from Palto on the east
ern sldo of Laguna do Bay where I left
Major General Lawton. The general
was detained there trying to float the
launches captured from the rebels. His
expedition has been advancing north
ward , driving the Filipinos before It.
The troops marching on land are sup
ported by the gunboats on the lake.
Every town on the line of march since
iny last previous dispatch was sent
has been captured without striking a
blow , for all the Inhabitants fled on the
approach of the American troops , leav
ing the towns deserted except for the
Chinese residents who remained. These
Chinamen will bo deported to Manila
for fear they would be massacred when
the natives return.
FREDERICK PALMER.
General Lawton Is marching north
along the road between the hills and
the lake , with the gunboats Rapldan
and Laguna de Bay abreast of his
troops. The enemy Is retreating north
ward
On Wednesday the troops crossed the
Paghanjan and concentrated at Lam- I
Lun , at the mouth of the river. After
leaving two companies of the Four- i
theenth regiment to guard the entrance
of the river , the troops marched to |
Longas and found It deserted. " Furni
ture which had been dropped in the
flight of the natives was scattered
along the trails leading Into the hills.
Major Weisenbergcr's sharpshooters
were sent toward Pactos Ancontenca
In the afternoon. They ran upon a
nest of rebels In some trick bushes
which afforded a splendid cover.
Five men of the North Dakota regi
ment were killed and two were wound
ed , two of the former dying after hav
ing been brought to Longas church ,
where Father McKlnnon administered
the sacrament to thorn.
The main body of the Americans
while at dinner in Longas , heard the
firing and advanced to the support of
the sharpshooters. 'A scout from a hill
saw the little fight and many white
coats running into the hills. The La
guna do Bay , at the beginning of the
fight , shelled the hills , making them
too hot for the enemy.
The Americans entered San Antonio
at sunset without meeting with any re
sistance. Twenty unarmed prisoners ,
bearing copies of the proclamation of
the United States Philippine commis
sion , which they had somehow secured ,
wore afterward released and sent out
side our lines with bundles of procla
mations to distribute.
Starting in an easterly direction
along the road to Paghanjan a party of
sixty sharpshooters under Lieutenant
Southern of the Washington regiment
came npon a trench across the road
about a mlle out of Santa Cruz. Lieu
tenant Southern was wounded.
The Americans then advanced with
the mounted guns and the Fourteenth
Infantry battalion in the center , Linck's
battalion of the First Idaho on the
right and Fralne's battalion of the First
North Dakota on the left , both flank-
Ing. The trench was carried without
loss to the Americans.
.Four monuments on the border of
the village celebrate the proclamation
of Filipino independence , Issued last
year , and glorifying "Aguinaldo , the
liberator. "
The troops on entering the abandon
ed houses found them In perfect order.
A few guerrilla shots were exchanged ,
and one member of the Fourteenth reg
iment was shot In the leg by his com
rades who wore aiming at a Cariboo.
One Filipino was killed and five
wounded In the encounter beyond Lon
gas. This was an ambush. Eight
members of the North Dakota regiment ,
moving in single file through the
woods , received a volley from a clump
of bushes fifty feet away. But one got
off unhurt. He dragged a comrade
with four bullets In his body to the
leh
main force and then led the troops back !
to the spot of the attack. The Filipinos
were easily scattered.
Additional Filipino dead found north
of Santa Cruz swell the number of the
. enemy killed on Monday to 150 , In
cluding Paole Aguirre , one of the lend
ers , and twelve officers.

THAT COMMISSION.
The Hntnonn Tribunal , Duly Instructed ,
to Sturt.
WASHINGTON , April 15. After
hearing this morning from the British
and German cmbas'/es , the state de
partment was enaMed to announce
positively that the three parties to the
Berlin treaty had agreed upon the In
structions to bo given their Sainoan
commissioner and that It was certain
that the commission would leave San
Francisco April 25 for Samoa on the
Badger.
The Instructions to the commission
ers arc Identical , the three govern
ments having accepted a form which
compromises the differences which
have existed up to this point. The com
mission will be empowered to deal with
the situation as it finds It In the Samoan -
an islands upon its arrival. This ap
plies to nets necessary to place the af
fairs of the Islands In a peaceful and
satisfactory condition for the time beIng -
Ing , and whatever the commission does
in this direction is understood to beef
of a temporary character and subject
to the approval of the thrco powers.
As to the merits of the bitter con
troversy between the representatives
of the powers on the Islands which
led up to the unfortunate outbreak of
April 1 , the commissioners are expected
to make a thorough , Impartial Investi
gation and report the results to their
respective governments. The latter will
by ordinary diplomatic exchange apply
any corrections that may seem to bo
nccesary.
The commissioners will have no pow
er to alter the treaty of Berlin. They
may make recommendations to that
end , and where they arc unanimous It
Is probable that the recommendations
will be accepted for changes In the
treaty.
To Ho Mustered Out lit May.
WASHINGTON April 15. The pro
test of Governor Leo of South Dakota
,
against further retention of the volun-
i teers from that state In the army cre
ated some excitement at the war depart
ment today.
Adjutant General Corbin , when his 11
itention was called to the matter , was i
pronounced In his criticism of the gov-
arnor's action. Ho said the presldeixj :
and the war department wore doing 5
everything In their power to bring 5
.bout the prompt mustering out of the
. oluntcers now in the service , but it
was manifestly absurd to think that all
the boys from the northwest can be
discharged until their places shall have
been filled by others.
It is believed the president will see
his way clear to order the mustering
out of all the volunteers In the Philip
pines within the next thirty days. In
the meantime ho Is holding off In order
that he can give men there who desire
to enlist every possible chance to do so
under the best circumstances. The
president Is Inclined to offer volunteers
who desire to remain In the service
commutation for travel , pay and rations
from the Philippines and back again
which would net thorn something like
J500 apiece. Ho Is also In communica
tion with General Otis to ascertain aa
nearly as possible how many volun
teers will consent to remain In the serv
ice. If ho finds ho can give these men
full pay and allowances to which they
would bo entitled If they were discharg
ed from the service In the Philippines
and then should re-enlist and should
travel back at their own expense , he
will do so.

MANILA , April 13. 1:05 : p. m. At
about 4 o'clock this morning a small
body of rebels attacked the camp of
the Third artillery irom the swamp
near Paomboan , a mile and a half west
of 'Malolos. ' Two privates were killed
and a lieutenant and two others were
wounded.
With the coming of daylight the
American forces scoured the district ,

Francoscl Reyes , the man wuO re
cently purchased the Spanish gunboats

fleet sailed for Manila and returned a
few days later with the vessels strip
ped of their guns and ammunition. The
purchaser's agents and native crews
for the vessels on board the American
steamer Butuan were conveyed to
Zamboanga by the Unltea States cruis
er Boston , and were Instructed to await
for the arrival there of the United
States gunboat Pet ol. Instead of doIng -
Ing so , after the Boston sailed from
Zarnboauga , the Spaniards transferred
the gunboats to the agents of Senor
Reyes and the fleet left Zamboanga un-
escorted. They soon returned and re
ported having been boarded by rebels ,
who removed the gunboats arma
ments. If the instructions of the Amer
ican naval commander had been obey
ed their capture would have been Im
possible.
Zamboanga is fortified and still gar-
risoued by Spaniards , and the affair Is
regarded as suspicious.

BRITAIN YIELDS A LITTLE.
Consents to Unanimity In rinding * of the
Commission ,
BERLIN , April 14. The United
States embaesy at noon today yavo the
correspondent hero of the Associated '
Press the following statement :
Wo have received from the foreign
office an account of the latest conflict
In Samoa , 'iho German government
expressed sympathy and took occa
sion to urge the adoption of the una
nimity rule In the findings of the Sa-
moaii commission In order that the
German commissioner , Baron Si > ock
von Stcrnberg , might sail for Samoa
at the earliest moment possible. The
German government urged only that
the early arrival of Uio commission
will prevent further serious bloodshed.
This morning Baron Von Buclow in
forms the American ambassador that
Great Britain has at last agreed to the
unanimity rule , the United States also
agreeing , and that the commission can
probably proceed to the Islands with
out delay.
The Gorman press this morning givea
yesterday's news calmly and mostly
without comment.
The Cologne Gazette remarks : "We
| need not say that I/ the guilt of the
manager of the German plantation la
proved Germany will approve of his
'
The Cologne Gazette also admits that
Dr. Raffcl ( the German president of
the municipal council of Apia ) , acted
Illegally In closing the chief justice's
office , and says : "The other powers ,
' wo hope , will also admit the illegal
acts of their representatives. "
, The Tagcblatt calls the arrest of the
German manager of the plantation , on
which the ambuscade took place , Illegal
,
' gal , saying : "Our consul is the only
competent judge. "
The Lokal Anzclger expresses the
opinion that the affair shows the ncod
| of prompt action by the commission.
The Vosslsche Zoltung says : "What
ever action the German government
takes it will find Itself fully backed
up by the Reicluvig. "
A number of leading papers , like
the Deutsche Zoltung , Scnlesslscho Zel-
tung and Hanover Courier , point out
the necessity of a larger navy and urge
the hastening of the present Increase
in Its strength and the adoption of an
additional bill for the construction of
other vessels.
The Reichstag Interpellation on the
subject of Samoa Is signed by n ma
jority of the members and asks the
government for Information regarding
the "events In Samoa which have In
jured Gorman interests so seriously , "
and also requests Information regard
ing the measures taken or intended to
bo taken by the government under the
circumstances.
WASHINGTON , April 14. Admiral
Kautz * actions In Samoa , as far as they
are set forth In the official dispatches ,
are approved. Mo was instructed by
the last mail steamer from Auckland
to avoid needless collisions , but to pro
tect property and life until the three
treaty powers decided how to deal
with the situation. No further In
structions have yet been sent to him ,
and if any go forward by cable within i
the next twenty-four 'iourswhich la 1
the limit of time avalnblo If the out
going steamer Is to bo caught at Auck
land , this will oo simply a repetition
of former orders.
Department officials point out that
from accounts so far received the ad
miral appears to have acted In con
junction with the British forces only
In pursuance of the policy of dcfcnso
of foreign Interests. It Is expected
that ho will not abate his efforts to se
cure the restoration of peace and It w
probable that when the nigh commis
sion arrives at Apia It will find its
work facilitated through the suppres
sion of the rebellion.
AtiKlmildo Will Not Quit.
NEW YORK , April M. A dispatch
from Washington says : Olllcluin nro
Uecomlnc convinced that Agulnaldo
proposes to maintain a guerrilla war
fare which will keep the Island of Luzon
zen in constant turmoil and necessi
tate the maintenance of a strong Amer
ican army there. The approach of the
rainy season , now only a few weeks
distant , will greatly embarrass Amcr-
lean operations and will , of course ,
benefit the Insurgent forces. A great
deal Is still expected from the work of
the Schurman commission , but Uio of-
fccts of Its recent proclamation have
not buoii as great as the authorities
hoped for.

.Statement IH Denied.
LONDON , April 14. It is assorted
that the statement that the Marquis
of Salisbury has unreservedly adhered
to the principle of unanimity of the
decisions of the Samoan commission
Is Incorrect. The question as to the
extent to which unanimity is necessary
has still to bo settled , and certain res
ervations will probably bo made by
Great Britain. The exact terms of the
instructions to the commissioners have
not yet been agreed upon.

No man over traveled over the road

VNE reason Mrs. Pinkham's treatment helps women so \
promptly is that they have confidence in her.
Through some of the many thousands of Mrs. Pink-
ham's friends an ailing woman will be led to write to Mrs.
Pinkham at her home in Lynn ,
Macs. , and will tell her symptoms.
The reply , made without charge of
any kind , will bear such evidence
of knowledge of the trouble that
belief in her advice at once inspires
hope.
This of itself is a great help.
Then the knowledge that women only see the letters asking
for advice and women only assist Mrs. Pinkham in replying
makes it easy to be explicit about the little things that define
the disease.
Mus. EUZA THOMAS , of 634 Pine St. , Easton , Pa. , writes :
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM I doctored with two of the best
I doctors in the city for two
years and had no relief until I
began the use of your remedies ,
trouble was ulceration of
the womb. I suffered
something terrible , could
not sleep nights and
thought sometimes that
death would be such a ,
relief. To-day I am a well
woman , able to do my
own work , and have not
a pain. I used four bottles
of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compoundaud
three packages of Sana
tive Wash and cannot
thank you enough for the
good it did me. "
MRS. M. STODDARD ,
Box 268 , Springfield , Minn , ,
writes :
41 DEAR MRS. PINKHAM For
about four years I was a great sufferer from female troubles. I
hadbackacheallof thetimc , no appetite , pains in stomach , faint
ing spells , was weak and my system was completely run down.
I also had falling of womb so bad that I could scarcely walk
across the floor. After taking two bottles of your Vegetable
Compound and one box of Lozcngers , can say I am cured. "
