MANILA. April 3. The American
troops under General MacArthur are
still resting at Malolos. where every
thing has been quiet today. Hostili
ties elsewhere , so far as officially re
ported , have been limited durintr the
last twenty-four hours to an occasional
exchange of shots between the insurg
ents and the troops forming the linns
of General Lawton and General Hnll.
extending from the water works to La
Lonla. 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-
tac > is.
Most of the Americans are bpcom-
Ing convinced that the backbone o the
insurgent opposition Is broken. There
are numerous rumors pointing to nn
early collapse of the Insurrection. Ono
of these Is that General Pie del Pilar.
the best fighter among the Filipino of
ficers , will desert Aguinaldo and sive
his support to the Americans.
' v The Spaniards , reasoning from their
f xnarience with the natives , refuse to
believe the rebellion Is anywhere near
p t down. They declare that the Fil
ipinos will not take their defeat at
Malolos with the loss of the city * uid
the removal of their so-called govern
ment seriously to heart. On the con
I V * trary , the Spaniards predict that the-
te 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 until the
wet season compels the Americans to
be housed in barracks , and then the
Filipinos will return and reoccupy such
towns as the United States trcom do
not garrison. With the next dry ssa-
son a repetition of the present oner-
ations will begin. Time alone will
show how much ttere is in this theory ;
but. as against it. it must be borne in
mind that the Philppines never save
the inhabitants a demonstration of
power comparable in effectivenpss 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 during
the fighting which preceded the cap
ture of Malolos. returned there this
morning and declared that 2,000 of the
Filipino soldiers were anxious to give
no fighting and would do so but for
their oflicers. who keep them under
arms. " '

are returning to their homes , carrying

{ NO MORE MONEY.
Uncle Sam Futi His Foot Down Agnlnst
Currency for Cubans.
WASHINGTON , -April 3. It was re
ported tonight j > y two members of the
cabinet that no consideration will bo
paid to any proposition for money for
the Cuban ai-ny outside the 83.000 000
fund now awaiting their acceptance
and furthermore it is hfntcd 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 made by this
eo yarn men t on account of the niihan
troops. No proposition for an addi
tional sum will be considered In anv
form and the statement to that cffpct
l y Secretary Hay in the unofficial
interview with the two delegates from
the assembly will stand. It is atan
stated by cabinet officials that no at
tention will be paid to the project for
authorizing a Cuban loan.
C. M. Coon , who , it is allecp.d. Is
engineering the scheme for a $20,000-
000 loan issue to the Cuban assembly
and is said to be the author of t a
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.-Cc-en tonight was in
conference with aMr. . Rosenfeldt. He
admitted that he was the man who had
been working on the plan to establish
a $20,000,000 bond issue to be paid for
out of uuuaii revenues now collp.ctod
by the United States. He said he rep
resented a syndicate with ? 20.000.0uo
capital , which intended to place the
loan.
"I came to this city from Havana
last Sunday. " he said. "I have not
been In hiding. I spent one month in
Cuba and was around in the open air
every day seeing the members of th
Cuban assembly , i met General Brooke
and made myself known to him. I
explained my views of the situation to
him. If the three million D.ayment is
forced on the army it will create future
dissatisfaction and disloyalty , while a
bonded debt , paid out of tie Cuban
revenues , would solve the Cuhaaiprob-
lem. "
"How about $20,000,000 ? ' he was
asked. "Who is back of it , ai.J where
is it ? "
Mr. Coen gave no satisfactory answer
to this cuestlon.
"I have assurance , " he said tonight ,
"that the money will be ready tue
minute the plan for a loan is adopted.
1 have alreaa'y told you that I have
no capital. I am simply doing the
work.
He said he did not care whether the
Cuban assembly continued in session
or not. Mr. Coen offered no rnlana- :
tion 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.
' Suicide of a Ke r Ai'nilral. "
BOSTON , April 3. Rear Admiral
Charles G. Caryerter , United States
navy , retired , committed suicide t.t a
sanitarium in one of the suburban
districts of this city yesterday. The
admiral had been in ill healtn for some
time. ,
Admiral- Carpenter for the last six
weeks was an inmate of the Adams
Nervine asylum in the Jamaica Plains
district and at" the earnest request of
his family details have been withheld
from the public. He shot himself in
the head.
For a number of years previous to
his retirement Admiral Carpenter suf
fered severely from nervous disorder
and soon after being released from
service went under medical treatment.
He had apparently recovered , but six
weeks ago there came a relapse and
he was placed in the asylum. He
seemed to improve and his family had
hone that he would be nimself again.
Agulnaldo Heard From.
PARIS , April 2. Agoncillo. the
agent of Aguinaldo , in the course of
an interview , says :
"The capture of Malolos is not as
important as the Americans are trying
to make it appear. The Filipino gov
ernment had already determined upon
removal to San Fernando and a small
detachment of troops was left with or
ders to burn the town and thus to draw
the Americans inland. Two mouths
cf rain and fever will save the Filipinos
pines their ammunition and a good
deal of trouble and the war will not
end while a. single Filipino remains to

Flae Insursents losing Heart.
MANILA , April 1. Ihe American
flag was raised over Malolos at 10
o'clock yesterday. The Kansas regi
ment and the -Montana regiment , on
entering the city , found it deserted ,
the presldencia burning and the reb
els retreating towards the mountains
in a state of terror. It is believed they
cannet in future make even a fiint
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
cans found there evidences of elabor
ate preparations for evacuation. On the
'railroad the raLs and ties for about U
mile had been torn up and nrobably
thrown into the river. The prisoners ,
captured were a few Chinamen , They
said Aguinaldo left Malolos on Wed
nesday.
' The principal citizens of Malolos , .
their families 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 animals
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.
General MacArthur started for the
rebel capital at 7 o'clock in the morning -
ing with two rapid firing guns flanking
the track , two guns of the Utah bat
tery on the right and two guns of the
Sixth artillery on the left of the ma
ids , firing continuously.
The Kansas and Montana regiments
moved upon Malolos and the "Nebras "
ka and Pennsylvania regiments and
the Third artillery kept along the
right of the railroad.
The only effective stand made by the
re'bels was at a bamboo and earth
work , half a mile from 'Malolos , and on
the right , where the Nebraska regi
ment , as was the case yesterday , had
the hardest work and suffered the
greatest loss.
Colonel Funston , always at the
front , was the first man in Mal los
followed by a group of dashing Kans-
ans.
ans.The Filipino flag , which was flying
from the center 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 ablaze. It turned out , how
ever , that only the presidencia , 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 oflicers , 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 Agui
naldo will dislntegreate , 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
frightful 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 hands 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 cocoanuts and bananas
and enjoying a well earned rest , while
the hospital train is carrying the
wounded back to Manila.

Election Contests Filed Early.
WASHINGTON , April 1. The clerk
of the house of representatives is be
ginning to receive installations of the
testimony in contested election cases ,
which will come up for consideration
at the next session of congress. Thus
far the most of the testimony has been
from the contestants.
Probably the most important cases
will be those of Dockery against Bel
lamy , in the Sixth North Carolina dis
trict , and Walker against Rhea in the
Ninth Virginia district. In the elec
tions in both these districts , incidents
subsequent thereto have been attended
with bloodshed.
GETTING TROOPS HOME.
Thirteen Thousand reclamed froitv Cub
During the Mouth of March ,
WASHINGTON , . April 1. So far
during the month of March 13.000
troops have been landed in the Unit
ed States. from Cuba. This work has
required especial expeditionary meas
ures on the part ot the quarantine ser
vice , but so far all the requirements
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
requiring the disinfection of all the
baggage of returning troops and their
equipment prior to entry. This has
been successfully accomplished by the
co-operation of the "Marine hospital
service and the quartermaster general's
office without an exception.
The arrival of transports at southern ,
ports has been so arranged as to n r-
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 Blackboard island and to
the Florida state quarantine station
at Tampa and the city quarantine sta
tion at Savannah , Ga. Marine hospi
tal surgeons were sent to all those
points to expedite the business , but
ColoneL Bellinger , quartermaster o
the war department , Is in. general
charge of the work. Tlie marine hos
pital service also has- furnished addi
tional disinfecting machinery for the
work. All. told about 1,000 tons of. bag
gage has been arainfected during the
month- and no baggage was allowed to
evade that duty , , although some efforts ,
were made in that direction.
A report has been received at lha
war department from Major Penrose
of the Utah regiment , now a brigade
surgeoa at Manila. It is dated Febru
ary 15 , out contains no information re
garding the fighting that hai been goIng -
Ing on about Manila- The details re
lated mainly to the sickness and health :
conditions of the brigade. Thcve were-
some malaria and some smallpox cas
es , but the brigade had evidently not
been engaged in any fighting , as noiu-
ing was said about casualties. This
brhrade was about three ana" 'a half
miles outside of Manila and stretched
from Pasig to Manila bay. Surgeon
Penrose said their meals were cooked
in Manila anu sent to thorn three times
a day. The food was excellent and
there was no complaint among the
men.
Plan of FlllIninoB Failed.
WASHINGTON , April 1 A copy of
the Japanese Times of February 12 ,
published at Tokio , 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
first two days' fighting about Manila ,
which began February 5.
Ho indicates that the Filipinos in
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 the
Americans , and attributes their fail
ure to do so to their regard for the
well-being of the Filipinos in the city.
"During the fighting , " says Mr.
Crocker , "Aguinaldo , who is supposed
to be at Malolos , communicated with
Dewey. He sent him a message , in
Which he said , 'For God's sake , stop
the firing , ' 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 I 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 the
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 the Monad-
nock , he says , killed "twenty , thirty ,
and sometimes fifty natives at a time. "
No Troops to Ue Sacrificed.
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 beliavpd
that he will at present chase the Fil
ipinos into the mountain fastnesses of
Luzon. The officials consider it evi
dent that the fight that was in Agui
naldo has been whipped 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
The Cabinet Meeting- .
WASHINGTON , April 1. In the ab
sence of late news from Samoa or the
Philippines the cabinet meeting was
devoted to other matters. The Ni
caragua-Panama canal commission
was discussed informally and it is the
belief of the cabinet that the present
Nicaragua commission , of which Ad
miral Waller is the head , will be reappointed -
appointed with probably two addi
tional members. The czar's peace
conference was not mentioned.
Carried Jfursos and Coffins.
SAN FRANCISCO , April 1. The
transport steamer Charles Nelson has
sailed for Manila. She had 900 tens
of freight , which is to be equally di
vided between the commissary and the
quartermaster's departments. Lieuten
ant Alfred Aloe of the Eighteenth
United States infantry was in com
mand of sixty-six recruits , a number
of whom are for the hospital corps.

At the last cabinet meeting some
attention was paid to the campaign of
the troops in the Philippines , and the
administration is confident of the cap
ture of Malolos , the insurgent capital ,
in a few days. The arrival in Wash
ington of delegates from the Cuban
assembly was touched on , and the dis
cussion brought out a reiteration of
the conclusion to pay no attention to
their demands. It is felt the assembly
delegates represent a disturbing ele
ment , and under no circumstances
would they be formally received by this
government.
Lieutenant Jonas Lien , adjutant of

years ago as chief clerk * of the house ,

Attorney General Griggs has advised
the secretary of the interior that the

tracts for supplies and to perform all
other acts necessary to the carrying
out of the law. independent of the sec

BIG FOUR OFFICIAL RESIGNS
Passenger Tmfilc MuntiRen DlcConnlcIc
Got-4 to the Southern L'aoUic.
E. O. McCormick , passenger traffic
manager 'of the Cleveland , Clncinattl.
Chicago and St. Louis railroad : . Big
Four , has resigned from that company
to accept a similar position with the
Southern Pacific company , with head
quarters at San Francisco. This in
formation came last night in the form
of a telegram to C. II. Mitchell , city
passenger agent ofthe - Big Four in
Chicago , as follows :
"E. 0. McCormick has resigned to
take service with the Southern Pacific
railway as passenger traffic manager ,
headquarters at Sau Francisco. Presi
dent Ingalls has appointed me general
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
local railroad men , as no rumor of a
change in the traffic department of
either road had been circulated. It is
believed that the approaching en
trance of the Santa Fe 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 best
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 188S.
The position of passenger traffic man
ager is created on the Southern Pa
cific , Samuel Goodman being general
passenger agent and J. C. Stubbs , third
vice-president , in charge of the traf
fic department. Chicago Tribune.
Dee Gnlly Carres.
About half way between Cumberland
and Martinsburg , on the Second Divi
sion of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road , is a picturesque spot known as
Doe Gully. There is quite a little hill
at this point that the road goes
through , and the approaches to this
tunnel include several reverse curves.
The company has been engaged for the
past two months in removing these
curves and reducing the grades. The
chief engineer says that the improve
ment will do away with one of the
most objectionable pieces of track on
the Second Division since Seven
Curves were- eliminated , and will re
move four reverse curves. It will not
only make a much better riding track
for fast trains , but materially assist
the west-bound freights in climbing
this grade.
Behavior is a mirror in which every
one displays his image.
