MANILA, May 8—To clear the Fil
ipinos out of Flacolor, about five milea
southwest of San Fernando, will be
the next task of the Americans. The
rebel general, Maseardo, has a forc-j
of 6.100 men there, well armed and
possessed of plenty of ammunition.
His troops have never met American
■ soldiers, and they think, according to
reports received at San Fernando, that
they can "whip the whole lot."
Hacolor is well entrenched and thou
sands of natives are working live bea
vers, digging trenches and carrvlnz
the dirt in baskets. The enemy uses
bis riflemen for fighting only, but com
pels the Boiomen 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 Mae
Arthur nor Major General Lawton
moved today, although each recon
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 rebels 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, laiguua u«
Bay and Cavadonga. under Captain
Grant, have gone to Guagua, about live
miles southeast of Baealor, presumably
to establish a base of supplies for the
troops engaged on the northern cam
paign.
It is rumorfed tha* Mablni, 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 I’atreno, the framer of
the Spanish treaty of 1896. 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, but 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 llizon, a
sugar magnate.
If the inhabitants of the San Fer
nando re?ton 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
manv 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 j
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- j
ing in their waists in mud—are many ,
bodies of Filipinos, smelling horribly.
The army is really enjoying life at j
San Fernando which is the most
picturesque and wealthy town th°
Americans have entered since the oc
cupation of Manila. It is largply built
of stone, the riven Is close at hand and
high hill* almost surround it. Many
sugar factories indicate a thriving in
dustry in that respect and there are
numerous fine residence*. General

{ Court of Inquiry Arraign* Several officer*
In Authority,
WASHINGTON. May 8.—By direc
tion of the president, who approves
the findings, Acting Secretary of War
Meikiejohn yesterday made public the
report and findings of the military
court appointed to investigate the
j chajgrs made by Major General Miles,
I commanding the army, that the beef
supplied to the army during the war
with Spain, was unfit for the use of tho
troops.
The most important features of the
report are: The general's allegations
that the refrigerated beef was treated
I with chemicals were not established;
I his allegatotns concerning the canned
fresh or canned roast beef were sus
! talned as to its unsuitability for food
i as used on the transports and as long
continued field rations: General Miles
is censured for ''error’’ in failing to
promptly notify the secretary of war
when first formed the opinion that tho
food was unfit; the commit ary gener
al (then General Kagan) 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
were of the same quality as those sup
plied to the trade generally, and tne
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 lome 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 the mere statement in tho
official report of the facts developed
meets the ends of discipline and that
the interest of the service will be best
subserved if further proceedings be
not taken.
1 here 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 belief or knowledge, us claimed,
that the food was unfit: that It caused
sickness and distress; that some of it
was supplied under the pretense of ex- j
poriment; 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 i
beef at Chiekamauga contained in a
report of inspection made by Doctor
(or Major) Daly on October 20 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.”

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 8.—On
the steamship City of I’ekin, from
China and Japan, was Dr. E. Page,
past assistant surgeon I'nited States
navy, and stugeon on the flagship
Olympia for the past year and a half.
He makes the following statement re
garding Admiral Dewey’s health:
"Admiral Dewey 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 n» ■<■ salty of
a physician's aid in that time.
The reports concerning the admiral’s
physical condition have been grossly
exaggerated. The climate of Manila is
enervating of course, hut 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 I'nited States in the Olympia by
way cf the Suez canal.”
