MANILA, March 20.—Sonic of the
rebel* recently expelled from Cavite
and small towns In the vicinity of
Pasig combined forces and last night
—as already cabled—attacked a com
pany of the Washington volunteets.
u detached post at Tagulg, about a
mile and a half southeast of Pasig,
General Wheaton Immediately rein
forced the Americans with two com
panies each of the Washington and
Oregon regiments. The post hud held
the enemy in check and the fire of the
reinforcing companies repulsed them,
driving them across to an island form
ed by the estuary. 'I hey were thus in
control of the Twenty-second regi
ment.
On discovering that they were en
trapped the rebels fought desperately,
a.deil materially by the Jungle and the
darkness, but they were completely
routed with heavy loss after two
hours' fighting.
The Americans lost two killed and
twenty wounded, among the latter be
. lng Lieutenant Frank Jones.
General Wheaton determined to
punish the natives, and at daybreak
today his brigade started in the fol
lowing order: The Sixth artillery,
holding the extreme right; the Ore
gon volunteers, hetxUng the center;
the Washington regiment keeping to
t..e endge of the lake and the i wenty
second regulars occupying the right
of the line which swept the whole
<o itry ulong the lake, In a south
er ty direction, toward General
C ne’s position.
.ne thus extended over two
jf country, which was rough and
• red with thick jungle, advanced
•ven miles. The enemy fled, the last
of them being seen about 1:30 o’clock
this afternoon. At scarcely any time
did the Americans get within 1,200
yards of them
The troops are r-turning to Pasig
tonight, exhausted by the hard work
under a hot sun.
The Oregon regiment had one man
killed and four wounded and the
Twenty-second regulars one wounded.
According to the official reports no
fewer than 200 Filipinos were killed.
General Otis says the American
army and gunboats now command the
lake. He estimates that property of
.the Insurgents valued at 1.100.000 has
been destroyed, while quantities of
rice and sugar and 400 tons of coal,
which is very valuable here, have
W been captured.
Many prisoners represent that the
Filipino soldiers are weakening. The
generous treatment that the Ameri
cans administer to the native prison
ers and wounded seems to influence
the insurgent army powerfully.
In the opinion of the Americans,
however, the Filipino leaders will con
tinue to provoke fighting just as long
as they can retain their hold upon
their followers, because they have
everything to gain and nothing to
lose.
The enemy have twice as many men
■on their firing lines as they have
arms, and the fact that so few arms
are captured by the Americans is be
cause the guns of the wounded Fili
pinos and many of those who surren
der are spirited away.
The armed tugs Laguna de Bay and
Oeste have returned to San Pedro
Macatl and reported the result of their
tour of the lake. On Friday morning
last they shelled the town of Moreng,
the rebels fleeing without making any
response to the fire. The Americans
landed a party, which destroyed a
quantity of stores and all the stone
buildings except the church.
The expedition then proceeded to
Majayjay. where a sugar mill and saw
mill were destroyed.
On arriving at Santa Cruz, a town
of 1,200 Inhabitants, it was learned
that the enemy was strongly en
trenched and prepared to defend the
position, assisted by two gunboats and
several launches. Moreover, the mouth
of the river was blocked with rocks
and bamboo.
A few shells caused an exodus of
the citizens, but not of the enemy's
troops. The Americans did not at
tempt a landing.
Captain Grant, who is in charge of
the expedition, usks for reinforce
ments and will probably take Santa
Crux tomorrow.

RIOTING IN HAVANA
Pjllf* Atttuipl to Mmntnlii Order end
Are Fired Upon.
HAVANA, March 20.—A serious
conflict between the police and tne
people of Havana lust night resulted
in much shooting and dubbing. From
thirty to fifty people were wounded,
some seriously. Among the injured is
Police Captain Estampcs, formerly a
colonel in the Cuban army.
Ever since the police Interference
about a week ago with the demonstra
tion in honor of General Gomez, tho
police have been unpopular with the
populace, who jeer at them and de
clare them inefficient. Certain news
papers let no opportunity escape to
criticise the force, denouncing the ar
rests as unfair and charging the police
with "trampling upon the rights of
tree people."
The police are virtually in the po
sition of men who have to make the
people fear them In order to secure
obedience .its they have no record to
tall back upon for example.
Last night's trouble occurred at a
public mulatto ball in Han Jose street,
an unsavory quarter of Havant.
Many Cuban officers, colonels and cap
tains among them, attended the af
fair. A policeman on duty in that
street, following orders to prevent a
crowd collecting in front of the build
ing where the ball was in progress,
asked a group of men to go In or dis
perse, His request was unheeded and
afti*’ repeating It he was attacked l*y_,
the group, whereupon many men is
sued front the building, set upon him,
took away his club and revolver and
handled hint roughly.
The policeman immediately notified
headquarters, who ordered twenty re
serves to the scene of the trouble. The
crowd had prepared for their arrival.
It Is caid they opened with a revolver
tire upon the police, which the latter
teturned, the shooting being kept up
until the ammunition wu* exhausted.
The opponents of the police acted with
determination in the affray.
Many who were In the building
mounted to the roof, which is com
I paratively low, and (lied from t ti-.t
; point. They wore apparently well
! armed and this fact, together with im
j resolution with which they fought,
I seems to confirm the belief that 1 ne
1 attacking party was mostly made up
of Cuban officers, as ordinary civil
ians would have (led front the revol
vers of the police.
Many women were wounded. A re
port Is in circulation this evening that
two of the injured civilians have suc
cumbed to their wounds, Hut this is
not confirmed. Among those serious
ly hurt are Policeman Donato Arn/..i,
Enrique Munoz and Benigue Vasqurz
and Civilians Jose Dominguez, Kto.io
i and Caliato, Alberto Aleja and Irene
j Hoquqe.
Public opinion respecting the poli -e
1 is conflicting. Some sustain them and
. other charge them with Interfering
\ with the lights of the people. As the
| facts become known, however, opinion
is increasing in favor of the force.
It is reported on good authority
that many were wounded who wiPi
j drew hastily because unwilling to have
it known they were present.
American troops were called to the
scene when the trouble was over and
numerous arrests followed. Police
Captain Estampes, who is well known
in Cuban military circles, Is so badly
injured that fears are entertained that
ho will not recover.
Police Inspector Kaoul Arango, who
came into notice on the day of the
Gomez demonstration, because of his
attempts to break up the procession,
and who subsequently challenged Gen
eral Aliejando Rodriguez, chief of stall
of General Gomez, for having accused
him of clubbing a woman, is credPed
with coolness and bravery in his ef
forts to restore order.
Numerous permits have been issu* d
for similar halls this evening including
one for an affair at the same house
and it is feared that there may (e
further trouble. Those who ought io
know say thatt they are really against
the law and that the permits should
be revoked.
Major General Ludlow, military gov
ernor of the Department of Havana,
desires to be relived of his duties, anJ
to go to the Philippines. It is undei
stood that he has applied to the War
department for a transfer and has
strenuously urged that it he made. He
is weary of the details of city admin
istration.
