MANILA, April 15.—(New York World Cablegram.)—I have Just re- j turned tonight from Paite on the east ern side of loiguna de nay where I left Major General Lawton. The general wan 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 gunljoatH on the lake. Every town on the line of march since j my la«t. previous dispatch was sent j 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 be deported to Manila for fear they would be massacred when l the natives return. FREDERICK PALMER. General Lawton is marching north along the road between the hills and r the lake, with the gunboats Rapidan and loiguna de May abreast of his troops. The enemy Is retreating north- j ward On Wednesday ihe troops crossed the Paghanjan and concentrated at Lam bun, at the mouth of the river. After leaving two companies of the Four theenth regiment to guard tha entrance of tha river, tha troops marched to Ixmgas and found it deserted. Furni ture which had bean dropped in the flight of the natives was scattered along the trails leading into the hills. Major Weisenberger's sharpshooters ware sent toward Pactos Aneontenca in the afternoon. They ran upon a neat of rebels In some trick bushes which afforded a splendid rover. 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 Ixmgas church, where Father McKinnon administered the sacrament to them. The main body of the Americans while at dinner In Ijongas, heard the ilrlng and advanced to the support of the sharpshooters. A Bcout from a hill saw the little tight and many white coats running into the hills The La guna de Hay, at the beginning of the fight, shelled the hills, making them too hot for tha enemy. The Americans entered San Antonio at sunset without meeting with Hny re sistance. Twenty unarmed prisoners, bearing copies of the proclamation of the i nlted States Philippine commis sion, which they had somehow secured, were 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 upon a trench across the road about h mile 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. Llnck's battalion of the First Idaho on the right and Fraine’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 were 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 (dump of bushes fifty feet away. But one got off unhurt. He dragged a comrade with four bullets In his body to the main force and then led the troops hack 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 lead ers, and twelve officers.

WASHINGTON, April 15—After hearing this morning from the British and German embarks, the state de partment was enabled to announee positively that the three parties to the Berlin treaty had agreed upon the In structions to he given their Samoan 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 are identical, the three govern ments having accepted u form which compromises the differences which have existed up to this point. The com mission will be empowered to deal with the altuutlon as it finds it In the Samo an Islands upon Its arrival. This ap plies to hi ts nei essary to place the af fairs of the islands In a peaceful and satisfactory condition for the time be ing, and whatever the commission does in this direction Is understood to be of a temporary character and subject to the npproval of the three 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 I, the commissioners are expected to make a thorough, impartial Investi gation ami report the results to their respective governments. The latter will by ordinary diplomatic exchange apply any corrections that may seem to bo necesary. The commissioners will have no pow 1 er to alter the treaty of Berlin. They may make recommendations to that end, and where they are unanlmcus it is probable that the recommendations i will bn accepted for changes in the treaty. To He Mustered lint li< May. WASHINGTON, April 15.—The pro test of Governor l-ee of South Dakota against further retention of the volttn teers from that state In the army cre ated some excitement at the war depart ment today. Adjutant General Corbin, when his attention was called to the matter, wan pronounced in hla criticism of the gov ernor'a action. He said the preside:^ and the war department were doing everything In their power to bring about the prompt mustering out of the volunteers now In the service, but it was manifestly absurd to think that all the boys from the northwest can lie discharged until their places shall have been tilled by others. It Is believed the president will sen his way clear to order the mustering 1 out of all the volunteers In the Philip- j pines within the next thirty days. In the meantime lie is holding off In order ! that he can give men there who desire to enlist every possible c hance 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 them something like 8500 apiece, lie is also In communica tion with General Otis to ascertain as nearly as possible how many volun teers will consent to remain in the serv ice. If he finds he can give these men full pay and allowances to which they would be entitled If lie y were discharg ed from the service In the Philippines and then should re-enlist and should travel hack at their own expense, he will do so.

They forded two rivers and marched through tangles of underbrush, driving a small number of the enemy before them. Prairies’ battery of North Dakotans marched twelve miles from I’agsajau to i'alte. In taking I’ulte In the ufter noon the North Dakotans were in the center and the sharpshooters flanked, when the column suddenly encounter ed a cross fire of the rebels. Sharp shooters were moved out qulekly and a squad of five of the North Dakota men was surprised by u volley at fif teen yards from a concealed trench, Two were killed and two wounded, one mortally. The Dasotans' sharp shooters rushed down the steep In cline and took the trenches by dusk. The total losses of our forces were five killed and two wounded. The expedition Is practically living on the country. All the natives have fled. Our forces are sufficient for au. vanclng and driving the enemy, hut It cannot garrison what it takes. ueu eral larwton has carte blanche in the movement, and will use his own Judg ment. The lake Insurgents' loss yes terday was small. Three outposts last night were slash ed by Holo men. Two dying Dakotans said: ’’Ja*t’s smile and die game." The launches captured on Tuesday are worth $ti0,000. The army’s ar I mored isuniffhs were of great assist ance in shelling the trenches from toe I lake. MANILA, April 13.-4:06 p. in—At. about 4 o’clock this morning a small 1 body of rebels attacked the camp of the Third artillery from 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, driving the rebels northward and kill ing several of them a private sot ! dier of the Montana regiment was wounded. Francos*!

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 risoned by Spaniards, and the affair Is regarded as suspicious. Hrooke fifU Ilia* Army ItolU.

BERLIN, April 14.—The United Staten embassy at noon today gave the j correspondent here of the Associated Press the following statement: We have received from the foreign office an account of the latest conflict 1 In Samoa, 'the German government expressed sympathy and took occa- j slon to urge the adoption of the tina- j nimity rule In the findings of the Sa- . moan commission in order that the ; German commissioner, itaron Si'eck von Sternberg, might sail for Samoa at, the earliest moment possible. The German government urged only that the early arrival of the commission will prevent further serious bloodshed. This morning Huron Von Buelow In forms the American ambassador that Great Britain has at lust agreed to the unanimity rule, the United States also agreeing, and that the commission can probably proceed to the Islands with out delay. The German press this morning gives yesterday’s news calmly and mostly without comment. 'Hie Cologne Gazette remarks: “We need not say that It the guilt of the manager of the German plantation Is ! proved Germany will approve of his arrest anti demand for his punishment. We will not nefond the behavior of a German nbroad merely because lie Is a ! German.” 1 The Cologne Gazette also admits that ; Dr. Raffel (the German president of the municipal council of Apia), acted illegally in closing the chief justice's office, and says: "The other powers, we hope, will also admit the Illegal acts of their representatives,” The Tageblutt calls the arrest of the German manager of the plantation, on which the ambuscade took place, Ille gal, saying: "Our consul is the only competent Judge.” The Lokal Anzelger expresses the opinion thut the affair shows the need of prompt action by the commission. The Vossische Zeitung says: "What ever action the German government takes It will find itself fully backed up by the Reichcwig." A number of leading papers, like tile Deutsche Zeitung, Hcnlesslsche 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 Hamoa is signed by a ma jority of the members and asks the government for Information regarding the “events in Samoa which have in jured German Interests so seriously,” and also inquests Information regard ing the measures taken or intended to be taken by the government under the circumstances. WASHINGTON, April 11—Admiral Kautz’ actions in Samoa, as far as they are set forth In the official dispatches, are approved, lie 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 i with the situation. No further ln I Htructions have yet been sent to him, I and If any go forward by cable within the next twenty-four hours which is ■ the limit of time available If the out ' going steamer la to be caught at Auck land, this will tie 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 defense I of foreign Interests. It is expected i that he will not abate his efforts to se cure the restoration of peuce and It m probable that when rhe nigh commis sion arrives at Apia it will find its work facilitated through the suppres sion of the rebellion Augliisldo Will Not Quit. NEW YORK, April 14.—A dispatch from Washington says: Officials are ! becoming convinced that Aguinaldo proposes to maintain a guerijlla war 1 fare which will keep th? islapd of Lu zon 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 Amer ican operations and will, of course, benefit the insurgent forces. A great deal is still expected from the work of tlte Schurman commission, but the ef fects of its recent proclamation have not been as great as ihe authorities hoped for. Fiiurral of I lehl.
