what he used for household purposes.

The General With His Expe
dition Returns to Manila ,
STARTS ON THE RETREAT AT ONC1
All the Territory He Has Taken Is to B
Evacuated Immediately He Says Tha
One Hundred Thousand Troops Ar
Needed to Successfully Combat th
Guerillas Insurgents Concentrating.
MANILA. April 17. ( New Yorl
World Cablegram. ) Lawton's expedi
tion has been ordered to Manila an <
he will return immediately. All terri
tory taken by Lawton will be evacu
ated. The captured launches will bi
returned to their former owners , fron
whom the Filipinos took them. Law
ton authorized this statement at Paet <
this morning :
"The present prospect is that 100 ,
000 troops will be necessary to pacif :
the islands. The difficulties are thos't
of fighting guerrillas in a tropica
country. With a brigade I could forci
my way to the end of the island if I die
not have to hold the ground traversed
But leaving garrisons behind soon eat :
up my force. I regret the evacuatior
of the territory taken. "
"PALMER. "
During the absence of Major Genera
Lawton's expedition to the Santa Cru :
district , on the southeastern side ol
Laguna de Bay , the insurgents have
been concentrating at the northern em
of the lake , near Pasig , and the Amer
ican scouts report that several thou
sand are already there.
General Lawton's expedition is nov ,
on its way back.
Two hundred and fifty Chinamen
from Santa Cruz have arrived here.
They left the town , owing to their
fear that the rebels , on re-entering it ,
would wreak vengeance upon them
for favoring the Americans.
War has become so commonplace an
experience to Manila that the average
citizen no longer thinks of bpcomics
excited over it. Every sI iic some
point of the horisoa is crimsoned by
thp reflection from burning huts , kin
dled by the soldiers to deprive the in
surgents of hiding places. Every night's
quiet is shaken by the firing from the
line encompassing the city. Every
morning brings its pitiful little con
signment of uncomplaining wounded
to the hospital. Manila forms an
American oasis in the island of Lu
zon. Around the city stretches a thin
line fifteen miles long of entrenched
soldiers.
The Filipino goes into the field un
encumbered with useless baggage. Fol
lowing the course of their retreat be
yond Guadalupe church went the cou-
venir enthusiasts who hung about the
American army. They found nothing
more than a few tin cooking utensils
and empty cartridge shells , whose pat
tern prove that the insurgents have
the latest style of rifles. Trousers or
drawers , a shirt , cartridge belt and
rifle , a section of bamboo stalk filled
with rice , a handful of green peppers
tied in a handkerchief , sometimes san
dals these form the equipment of a
Filipino soldier.
No finer country for defensive fight
ing and no more embarrassing for of
fensive operations than the land
around Pasig lake could be imagined
The Chinese are the scavengers of the
war. Like vultures they hover in the
wake of the army , flocking down upon
the ashes of every hut and the ruins
of churches to dig out stuff that no
white man could possibly use.
Being beyond suspicion of any inter
est in the hostilities save gain , they
ire admitted to the camps and employ-
2d as servants. Some of them peddle
water and cigarettes on the line. One ,
more daring than most , crept about
Lhe trenches of the Kansas regiment
under a hot fire and did a good trade.
When competitors appeared he has
tened to point out to them the spot
ivhere a soldier had been wounded ,
seemingly impressing on them the dan-
jers of their position , for they ran
iway.
The forces of destruction are con
centrated upon the churches. They
ire all solid buildings of stone , so the
mtives use them as forts. Some church
las served as the keystone of nearly
; very Filipino defense and the Ameri-
: an artillery is compelled to batter
.hem.
Caloocan church is a picture of the
lavoc of war. There General MacAr-
hur has his headquarters. The roof , a
iky blue fresco , studded with gilt stais ,
las jagged holes where shells , from
Dewey's ships came through. Within
he chancel rail is the office of the
itaff and the pulpits are used for
lesks. The rail holds a string of sad-
ales , a telephone hangs beside the
tatue of a saint , while the telegraph
licks incessantly in an alcove. Cots
ind hammocks fill the body of the
hurch , where soldiers are sprawled
tut smoking and reading when off
luty. A hospital occupies a chapel in
: corner. The soldiers do not lack
everence , but everything must bend
lefore their work.
Newark Mny Go to Samoa.
WASHINGTON , April 17. The New-

hat no significance attaches to this
ourse , as it had been determined on
efore the recent outbreak there.

NEW YORK , April 17. The British
teamer Indrana , which arrived'this

ih and American flag to be presented
