The Kebel Garrlaon Haa Yet to I.earn How the American* I Iglit—Maicirdo'a Men limit of rrowrii—The Women and Chlncae Illg uitchea While Native Itlllo meo Talk. MANILA, May 8—To clear the Fil ipinos out of Bacolor, about five miles southwest of San Fernando, will be the next task of the Americans. The rebel general, Mascardo, has a force of C.COO men there, well armed and possessed of plenty of ammunition. His trocps have never met American soldiers, and they think, according to reports received at San Fernando, that they can "whip the whole lot.” Bacolor la well entrenched and thou sands of natives are working live bea veis, digging trenches and carrvinz the dirt In baskets. The enemy uses his riflemen for fighting only, but com pels the Bolomen and Chinese and even the women to labor incessantly. The troops have an outpost about a mile beyond San Fernando, with a trench that holds between 200 and 300 men. From that point several vol leys were fired last night upon the camp of the Twentieth Kansas regi ment. Neither Major General Mac Arthur nor Major General Lawton moved today, although each reeon noitered the country In his vicinity for some miles from headquarters, de veloping the presence of small forces of the enemy. In the vicinity of Laguna de Bay the rebelB are very active, but the lines of General Ovenshine and Colonel Wholly, who is commanding General King's brigade during the latter's ill ness, have been materially strength ened, and there is no danger in that direction. The armed steamers, Laguna de Bay and Cavadonga, under Captain Grant, have gone to Guagua, about five miles southeast cf Bacalor, presumably to establish a base of supplies for the troops engaged on the northern cam paign. It is rumored that Mabinl, president of the cabinet and minister of foreign affairs in the so-called Filipino gov ernment, who is a radical, is to be succeeded by Patrcno, the framer of the Spanish treaty of 1890. This change is regarded as significant at the present juncture. The entrance of the Americans into San Fernando was virtually unoppos ed- The Filipinos, who expected the invaders to approach from the sea, had that side of the town strongly guarded, hut there was only one line of trenches beyond San Tomas. Two battalions of the Fifty-first Iowa reg iment. which swam the river north of the city, were smartly peppered while In the water, but the rebels dis appeared as soon as the Americans reached the shore. In the meantime the hospital squad had got across the bridge Into the city, supposing the Americans were there. They encoun tered more natives. The few Spaniards and Filipinos who were left welcomed the Ameri cans, and opened their houses to them. General MacArthur accepted entertain ment at the hands of Senor Hizon, a sugar magnate. If the Inhabitants of the San Fer nando region are to be believed there Is little sympathy with the Insurrec tion in that quarter. Before evacuat ing the city the rebels burned the church and the public buildings and looted the Chinese quarter. They drove many rich Filipinos with their fami lies out of the city before them as well as hundreds of Chinese, to prevent them helping the Americans. They cut the throats of some. Many Chinese hid on roof tops or in cellars, and some escaped by cutting off their cues. There are fifty fresh graves in the church yard. The country beyond Calumplt Is full of all sorts of Ingenious trenches and pitfalls in the roads, with sharpened bamboo. Fortunately the Americans escaped the latter. In the swamps near San Tomas, where General Wheaton’s troops did their hardest fighting—the men sink ing in their waists in mud—are many bQdies of Filipinos, smelling horribly. The army is rcgllv enjoying life at Sgn Fyrnaiulo jvhlcli Is tKe most picturesque' and wealthy town the Americans have entered since the oc cupation of Manila. It is largely built of stone, the riven is close at hand and high hills almost surround it. Many sugar factories Indicate a thriving in dustry in that respect and there are numerous fine residences. General MacArthur’s permanent headquarters is established in the best house in town. The troops are encamped around in the suburbs and are beginning to think they may be quartered there during the wet season. Dios of Asphyxiation. % WASHINGTON, D. C., May 8.—Ed ward Goodfcllow, for many years con nected with the United States coast and geoditie survey, died this mornin? at his apartments of accidental as phyxiation. Mr. Goodfellow was born in Philadelphia in 1828, and the year after graduation at the university of Pennsylvania, in 1848, he entered the geodetic survey and, save for service in the civil war. spent his life in that department. Mrs. Goodf“",''w and one daughter survive him. Dnkotn Soldier* Ars Stayers. PIERRE, S. D.. May 8.—Congress man Burke states that he is in receipt of numerous personal letters from of ficers and men of the First South Da | lcota in which the sentiment expressed is, with one exception, all-in favor of continuing in the service until the present campaign is brought to a suc cessful issue, and no complaints in re gard to being kept in the Philippines are made. One officer writes that over 95 per cent of the regiment is desir ous of remaining to complete the work in which they are at present engaged. DEALS OUT REBUKE Court of Inquiry Armlgua Several Ofllcen In Authority. WASHINGTON, May 8.—By direc tion of the president, who approves the findings. Acting Secretary of War Meiklejohn yesterday made public the report and findings of the military court appointed to investigate the charges made by Major General Miles, commanding the army, that the beef supplied to the army during the war with Spain, was unfit for the use of the troops. The mest important features of the report are: The general's allegations that the refrigerated beef was treated with chemicals were not established; his allegations concerning the canned i fresh or canned roast beef were sus ! tained as to its unsuitability for food ; as used on the transports and as long | continued field rations; General Miles j is censured for “error” in failing to ! nromntlv notify the secretary of war when first formed the opinion that the food was unfit; the commissary gener al (then General Eagan) Is censured for the too extensive purchase of the canned beef as an untried ration; Col onel Mans of General Miles’ staff is also censured. The finding states that the packers were not at fault and that the meats supplied to the army i were of the same quality as those sup plied to the trade generally, and the recommendations made that no fur ther proeedings be taken in the prem ises. The conclusion of the court adverse to further proceedings based upon the charges is as follows: It has been developed in the course of the inquiry, as recited in this re port, that in some instances some in dividuals failed to perform the full measure of duty or to observe the proprieties which dignify high mili tary command but the court is of the opinion that tlie mere statement in the official report of the facts developed meets the ends of discipline and that the interest cf the service will be best subserved if further proceedings be not taken. There is more or less criticism of General Miles In various parts of the report. Probably the most direct In stance Is the one which states that beyond the criticism of officers found elsewhere In the report: The court finds that against none of the officers commanding corps, di visions, brigades and regiments and their staff officers should charge of guilty be brought. The court also finds that the major general command ing the army had no sufficient justifi cation for alleging that the refriger ated beef was embalmed or was unfit for Issue to troops. It also finds that he committed an error in that, hav ing or knowledge, as claimed, that the food was unfit; that it caused sickness and distress; that some of it was supplied under the pretense of ex periment; that other beef was em balmed, he did not immediately report such knowledge or belief to the sec retary of war to the end that a proper remedy might be promptly applied. The censure of Colonel Maus, in spector general on General Miles’ staff, is based upon his failure to call attention to charges concerning the beef at Chickamauga contained in a report, of inspection made by Doctor (or Major) Daly on October 26 last, in which he stated his belief that the beef was chemically treated. ‘‘The silence of Colonel Maus,” says the court, “on so important a matter as the chemicalized beef reported by Major Daly and personally known to himself Is most remarkable.” The remark is also made that Gener al Miles’ failure to draw special atten tion to this report is "unexplained.” Dewey In Perfect Health. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 8—On the steamship City of Pekin, from China and Japan, was Dr. E. Page, past assistant surgeon United States navy, and surgeon on the flagship Olympia for the past year and a half. He makes the following statement re garding Admiral Dewey's health: “Admiral Dew'ey is in perfect health. He has not been more than twen ty miles away from Manila since the first day of last May, and he has not felt the necessity of a physician’s aid in that time. The reports concerning the admiral’s physical condition have been grossly exaggerated. The climate cf Manila i3 enervating of course, but the command er of the fleet has been no more af fected by it than any one else. “The people of California will be dis appointed at not seeing Admiral Dew ey, for he has determined to return to the United States in the Olympia by vvay cf the Suez canal.” Working for Annexation. NEW YORK, May 8.—The Cuban Ameriean league is trying to pave the way for the annexation cf Cuba by promoting the study of the English language in the island and by encourag ing and assisting the efforts of the an nexationists in Cuba. According to a letter received by President William O. McDowell of the league, quarrels and dissensions among the Independents in Cuba will greatly aid the annexation ists’ work and thousands who are now afraid to declare themselves will flock to their staudard as soon as assured that under United States protection they will be allowed to vote as they please.
