MANILA. April 3.—The American
troops under General Mac Arthur are
still resting at Malolos, where every
thing has been quiet today. Hostill
tiee elsewhere, so far as officially re
potted. have been limited durlne the
last twenty-four hours to an occasional
exchange of shots between the lnsurg
ents and the troops forming the lines
of General Lawton and General Hall,
extending from the water works to La
lxtnla. But the shooting has been just
active enough to make the lives of the
soldiers a burden and to compel the
officers to sleep In trenches, clothed
and In readiness to repel possible at
tacks.
Most of the Americans are becom
ing convinced that the backbone of the
insurgent opposition Is broken. There
are numerous rumors pointing to an
early collapse of the Insurrection. On*
of these is that General Flo del Pilar,
the best fighter among the Filipino of
ficers, will desert Agulnaldo and give
his support to the Americans.
The Spaniards, reasoning from their
exoarlrnce with the natives, refuse to
believe the rebellion is anywhere near
p it down. They declare that the Fil
lolnoa will not take their rttfeat at
Maloloa with the loss of the city end
the removal of their so-called govern
ment seriously to heart. On the con
trary, the Spaniards predict that the
insurgents will hover near the Amer
ican lines, bothering them as much as
possible, and when attacked In force,
dissolve, only to reappear at other
points. This sort of tactics, the Span
iards say, will be followed unti1 the
wet season compels the Americans to
he housed In barracks, and th<*n the
Filipinos will return and reoccupy such
towns as the Untied State* tr<op< do
not garrison. With the next dry sea
son a repetition of the present oncr
atlons will begin. Time abyte wilt
show how much Here is In this theory;
but. ns against It. It must he born** In
mind that the Phllpplnes nov»r cave
the inhabitants a demonstration of
power comparable In effectiveness to
that given them by the United States.
A priest and two men. members of
the so-called Filipino congress, who
hid themselves In the woods durln r
the lighting which preceded the cap
ture of Malolos. returned tberp this
morning and declared that 2,000 of the
Filipino soldiers were anxious to give
up fighting and would do so but for
► their officers, who keep them under
arms.

NO MORE MONEY.
Un«l« Ham Put» HI* Foot Down Against
Cnrreni'f for Cuban*.
WASHINGTON, April 3— It was re
ported tonight by two members of the
cabinet that no consideration will be
paid to any proposition for money for
the Cuban a.my outside the $3.000 000
fund now awaiting their acceptance
and furthermore It is hinted that If too
much trouble and deliberate delay oc
cur preliminary to that amount being
turned over to the Cubans the
$3,000,000 may be withdrawn and no
payment of any sort be mnde by this
govern miut on account of the Cuban
troorH. No proposition for an addi
tional sum will be considered In anv
form and the statement to that effect
by betretary Hay In the unofficial
interview with the two delegates from
the assembly will stand. It is also
stated by cabinet officials that no at
tention will be paid to the project for
autho'izing a Cuban loan.
C. M. Coon, who, It Is alleged, is
engimerlng the scheme for a $20,000,
000 loan issue to the Cuban assembly
and ia said to be the author of th«
mysterious dispatches to the Cuban
assembly, urging the body not to dis
band on the ground of a good prospect
of securing more than the $3,000,000
offered by the United States, is In
Washington. Mr. C< en tonight was in
conference with a Mr. Kosenfeldt. He
admitted that he was the man who had
been working on the plan to establish
a $20,000,000 bond issue to lie paid for
out ot i.unau revenues now collected
by the United States. He said he rep
resented a syndicate with $20,000,000
j capital, which intended to place the
I loan.
"1 came to this cliy from Havana
last Sunday," he said. "1 have not
i neen in hiding. 1 spent one month in
I Cuba and was around in tbe open sir
every day Seeing the members of the
Cuban assembly, i met General Hrooke
and made myself known to him. I
i explained my views of the situation to
; him. If the three million payment is
| forced on the army it will create future
! dissatisfaction and disloyalty, while a
bonded debt, paid out of ti e Cuban
revenues, would solve the Cuban preb
' lem.“
"How about $20,000,000? he was
asked. “Who Is back of k, and where
Is it?”
I Mr. Coen gave no satisfactory answer
[ to this Question.
“I have assutance,” he snld tonight,
i "that the money will lie ready i.ie
i minute the plan for a loan Is adopted.
: I have already told you that I have
I no capital. 1 am simply doing the
work.
He said b» did not care whether the
Cuban assembly continued in session
or not. Mr. Coen offered no iinlnna
tlon of his business In Washington and
denied that he was here to see the
government officials.
“I have nothing to do with the ad
ministration officials, and do not In
tend to see them,” he asserted.

i “The capture of Malolos Is not n.»

removal to San Fernando and a small
detachment of troops was left with or

the Americans inland. Two months

o'clock yegterday. The Kansas regi

entering the city, found It deaerted.
the prealdencia burning and the reb
el* retreating toward* the mountain*
In a state of terror, it Is believed they
cannot In future make even a faint
resistance.
The American loss was small.
It Is evident that the rebels for some
time past have abandoned all hope of
holding their capital, for the Ameri
can* found there evidences of elabor
ate preparations for evacuation. On the
railroad the ral.» and ties for about w
mile had been torn up and orobably
thrown Into the river, the prisoners
captured were a few Chinamen. They
*ald Aguinaldo left Maloloa on Wed
nesday.
The principal citizen* of Maloloa,
their famllle* and goods have been
taken Into the country over the rail
road, while others have departed on
foot, carrying their possessions and
driving their cattle and other animal*
before them
Most of the rebel forces were re
moved to positions east of the rail
road, leaving only some small bands
In the strong trenches In front of Ma
lolos.
tleneral MacArthur started for the
rebel capita! at 7 o’clock In the morn*
Ing with two rapid tiling guns flanking
the track, two guns of the Utah bat
tery on the right and two guns of the
Blxth artillery on the left of the r?.»
Ids, firing continuously.
The Kansas and Montana regiments |
moved \ipon Maloloa and the Nebraa
ka and Pennsylvania regiments and
the Third artillery kept along the
right of the railroad.
The only effective stand made by the
rebels was at a bamboo and earth
work, half a mile from Malolos, and on
the right, wnere the Nebraska regi
ment, as was the case yesterday, had
the hardest work and suffered the
greatest loss.
Colonel Punston, always at the
front, was the first man in Maloloa
followed by a group of dashing Kr.ns<
ana.
rue Filipino nag. wnicn wan nymg
from (he (enter of the town, was
hauled down by some of the Montana
regiment, who triumphantly raised
their own above It.
From the column of smoke arising
from the city It seemed as If the whole
place was alda/e. It turned out, how
ever, that only the presldencia, or
government building, and a few of the
smaller buildings had been set on fire
by the rebels before they evacuated
the place.
From the reports gathered by the
American officers, from prisoners and
others, it Is believed that the rebel
army is constantly losing strength on
account of desertions, and that al
though the enemy may make one or
two more stands, the forces of Agul
naldo will disintegrate, In perhaps a
month, to a few hundreds, who may
continue waging guerrilla warfare in
the mountains.
The American troops behaved splen
didly. They advanced steadily against
successive lines of trenches, through
woods and jungles and suffering from
frlrhtful heat.
In addition the American volun
teers were handicapped In fighting by
the fact that their Springfield rifles
are of shorter range than the Mauser
rifles In the bands of the rebels. Under
those circumstances the steady ad
vance of our troops Is a really re
markable achievement.
The victorious American army Is
feasting on eocoanuts and bauunas
and enjoying a well earned rest, while
the hospital train Is carrying the
wounded back to Manila.

Tlilrtrrn Thnutund Rrtnrnril ftiim Cuba
During thf Month of Mnrrh.
WASHINGTON, April 1.- So far
during the month of March 13.000
troops have been landed in the Unit
ed Staten from (Juba. This work haa
required especial expeditionary meas
ures on the part of the quarantine ser
vice, but so far all the require me ms
made upon the service have been met.
The war department has exercised un
usual haste because of the desire to
avoid the necessity of compliance with
the order of the treasury department
H-quirlng the aislnfrction of ail the
baggage of returning troops nud their
equipment prior to tntry. This has
been successfully accomplished by the
co-operation of the Murine hospital
service and the quartermaster general a
office without an exception.
The arrival of transports at southern
ports has been so arranged as to per
mit the disinfection of baggage with
out causing undue detention of troops.
Transports carrying troops were sent
In accordance with this arrangement
to the quarantine stations at Dry Tor
tugas and at Hlackheard island and to
the Florida state quarantine station
at Tantpa and the rlly quarantine sta
tion at Bavunnuh, (la. Marine hospi
tal surgeons were sent to all these
points to expedite the business, but
<.'olonel Bellinger, quartermaster of
the war department, Is In general
charge of the work. The marine hos
pital service also has furnished addi
tional disinfecting machinery for the
work. All told about 1,000 tons of bag
gage bss been ursinfeeted during the
month and no baggage was allowed to
evade that duty, although some efforts
were made in that .Hrectlon.
A report huH been received at the
war department from Major Penrose I
of the t'tali regiment, now a brigade
surgeon at Manila. It Is dated Febru
ary lfi, but contains no Information re
garding the fighting that had been go
ing on about Manila. The details re
lated mainly to the slckuesa and health
conditions of the brigade Th ve were
some malaria and some smallpox cas
es, but the brigade had evidently not
been engaged in any lighting, as notu
ing was said about casualties. This
brigade was about three tint n half
miles outside of Manila and stretched
from Pasig to Manila bay, Surgeon
Penrose said their meals were cooked
In Manila anti sent to them three times
a day. The food was excellent and
there was no complaint among tha
men.
Plan of Killlplnot |,i|l„,|.
WASHINGTON, April 1. A copy of
the Japanese Times oi February 12,
published at Toklo, has been received
here. It contains an interview with
an American named Crocker, who
may be Prof. Crocker of Columbia col
lege, who was an eye-witness of the
fit«t two days' lighting about Manila,
which began February 5.
Ho Indicates that the Filipinos ini
the city undoubtedly contemplated
rising en masse, but failed to carry
out the plan of cooperation with those
in arms outside of the city.
He says If the rebels had destroyed
the water supply of the city it would
have entailed great hardship upon tho
Americans, and attributes their fail
ure to do so to their regard for the
well-being of the Filipinos in tho city,
"During the fighting," says Mr.
Crocker, "Aguinaldo, who Is supposed
to be at Malolos, communicated with
Dewey. He sent him a message, in
:whlch he Haid, 'For Clod’s sake, stop
the tiring,’ and disclaiming all respon
sibility in connection with the start
ing of the trouble, Dewey, however,
refused compliance, and I think Agui
naldo is now accepting the situation.
"There was some talk of Aguinaldo
resigning and washing his hands of
the whole affair, but 1 do not think
he will do so. The opinion Is that
it was not Aguinaldo who precipitated
this thing, but his followers whom
he could not control.”
Mr. Crocker left Manila while tho
fighting was still in progress and his
estimates of the casualties are very
wild. He says there were from 5.000
to 10,000 Filipinos killed and wounded,
and tells of the terrific destruction
wrought by the shells from our war
ships. The shells from Ihe Monad
nock, he says, killed "twenty, thirty,
and sometimes flfty natives at a time.’'

WASHINGTON, April 1.—It Is said
at the War department that General
Otis will not make a campaign during
the rainy season, nor Is It believed
that he will at present chase the Fil

Luzon. The officials consider It evi
dent that the light that was In Agui
naldo has been whippet! out of him
and It Is believed he cannot hold the
Filipino army together much longer.
If Otis advises the War denartment
will approve a cessation of active hos
tilities or further forward movement.

BIO FOUR OFFICIAL RESIGNS
Passenger Truffle Manager If eCormlcIs
Sloes to (lie Southern PucIHt).
IS. O. McCormick, passenger traffic
manager of the Cleveland, Clnclnattl,
Chicago und St. Louis railroad. Rig
Four, lias resigned from that company
to accept a similar position with thv
Southern Pacific company, with head
quarters at San Francisco. This in
formation came last night In the form
of a telegram to C. H. Mitchell, city
passenger agent of the Dig Four la
Chicago, as follows:
”E. O. McCormick has resigned to
take service with the Southern Pacific
railway as passenger traffic manager,
headquarters at San Francisco. Presi
dent Ingalls lias appointed me gencrul
passenger and ticket agent. In full
charge of the passenger department.
These changes effective about May 1.
"WARREN J. LYNCH.”
The news was a complete surprise to
locnl railroad men. as no rumor of a
change in the traffic department of
either road had been circulated. It |g
believed that the approaching en
trance of the Santa Ke into San Fran
cisco and consequent competition,
something the Southern Pacific has not
yet had to face on traffic into that
city. Is the cause of the change. Mr.
McCormick Is a progressive passenger
man and Is considered one of the be-,t
In the business. He was formerly gen
eral passenger agent of the Monon, and
subsequently of the Cincinnati, Ham
ilton and Dayton, before going with
the Big Four, In 1893. W. J. Lynch,
who succeeds him, has grown up with
the system, rising from stenographer
In the office of the passenger agent of
the old Bee Line at Cleveland In 1888.
The position of r&Hsenger traffic man
ager Is created on the Southern Pa
cific, Samuel Goodman being general
paasenger agent and J. C. Stubbs, third
vice-president, In charge of the traf
fic department.—Chicago Tribune.
Do* Gully Curve*.
About half way between Cumberland
and Martlnsburg, on tbe Second Divi
sion of tbe Baltimore and Ohio rail
road, Is a picturesque spot known as
Doe Gully. There Is quite a little hill
at thin point that the road goes
through, and the approaches to thU
tunnel Include several reverse curves.
The company has been engaged for the
past two months In removing these
curves and reducing tbe grade*. Tbe
chief engineer says that tbe Improve
ment will do away with one of tbe
most objectionable pieces of track on
tbe Second Division since Seven
Curves were eliminated, and will re
move four reverse curves. It will nut
only make a much better riding track
for fast trains, but materially assist
the weet-bouud freights in climbing
this grade.
Behavior Is a mirror in which every
one displays hts Image.
