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.

THAT COMMISSION.
Th* N:tmoiu Tribunal. Only InMructcd(
rr#*|mr«*n tn Sturt.
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.

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.

MANILA, April H.—(New York
World Cablegram.) (ieneral Lawton a
expedition yeaterday advanced to u
point eight miles north from Lumban
and occupied l’al*e, the military center
of the Lug mm tie Hsty diatrict. 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*! Reyes, the man wu«> re

at Zamboanga, island of Mindanao, has
received advices to the effect tnat the
fleet sailed for Manila and returned a
few days later with the vessels strip
: ped of their guns and ammunition. Tne
! purchaser’s agents anti native crews
for the vessels on board the American
i steamer liutuan were conveyed to
| Zamboanga by the llniteo States crttls
I er Boston, and were instructed to await
j for the arrival there of the I'nited
.States gunboat Petrel, Instead of do
ing so, after the ltoston sailed from
Zamboanga, the Spaniards transferred
| the gunboats to the agents of Senor
Reyes and the fleet left Zamboanga un
escorted. 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

Consent* to t’nanlinlty In I'luiltiiR* of the
Commission.
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.

HIS OLD YELLOW ALMANAC.
I left the farm when mother died, and
■ Iihiik' il tny place of dwellin'
To daughter Music's stylish house, right
In the city street,
And there wu* them, before I came, that
aori of aenred me tellln'
How I would find the town-folks' ways
ho dtlMcult to meet.
They said I'd have no comfort In the
rustlin', flxed-up throng.
And I’d have to wear titlrr collars every
wcck-duy right along.
I find I take to city way* Just like a duck
to water.
I llko the racket and the noise, and
never tire of shows;
And there’s no end of comfort In the man
sion of my daughter.
And everything Is right at hand, and
money freely flows;
And hired help Is all ubout, Just listenin’
for my call.
But 1 miss the yellow almanac from off
my kitchen wall.
The house Is full of calendars from attic
to the cellar;
They're painted In nil colors, and arc
fancy-lllce lo see.
But Just In this particular I'm not a mod
i rn feller,
And the yellow-covered almanac Is good
enough for me,
I'm used to II. I've seen tt round from
boyhood to old age.
And I rather like the jokin’ at the bottom
of cuih page.
i like the way the "S" stood out to show
the week's I <glnnln'
(In these new-fangled calendars the
days seemed sort of mixed),
Ana the man upon the cover, though he
A was n't exactly wlnnln'
With lungs and liver all exposed, still
i showing how we ere fixed;
And the letters, credentials that was writ
, to Mr. Ayer,
I've often, on a rainy day, found readln
very fulr.
I tried io find one recently; there wa'n't
one In the city.
They tot<d out great calendars In every
sort of style;
X look' d at >m In rnid disdain, and an
swered 'em In pity;
*‘l’d rather have my almanac than alt
that costly pile.”
And. though 1 tak» to city life, I'm lone
some, after all.
For that old yellow almanac upon my
kitchen wall.

ONE reason Mrs. Pinkham's treatment helps women
promptly is that they have confidence in her.
Through some of the many thousands of Mrs. Pink
ham's friends an ailing woman will be led to write to Mrs.
l’inkham at her home in Lynn,
Mass., and will tell her symptoms.
The reply, made without charge of
any kind, will bear such evidence
of knowledge of the trouble that
belief in her advice at once inspires
hope. »
This of itself is a great help.
