MANILA, April 1. 'the 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 presidencia burning and the reb
els retreating towards the mountains
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
lime past have abandoned all hope of
holding their capital, for the Ameri
cans found there evidences of elabof
ate preparations for evacuation. On the
railroad the rai.s and ties for about t
mile had been torn up and nrobably
thrown into the river, the prisoners
aptiirt-rt 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 relel 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 Mat-Arthur started for the
rebel capital at 7 o'clock in the morn
ing with two rapid firing guns flanking
the track, two gur.s of the Utah bat
tery on the right and two gunB of the
Sixth artillery on the left of the raa
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
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 Funston, always at the
front, was the first man in Malolos
followed by a group of dashing Kens
ans.
The Filipino flag, which was flying
from th 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
over, that only the presidencia. or
goxernment 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 Agui
naldo will disintegreate, 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
nre of shorter range than the Mauser
rifles in the hands of the rebels. Under
those circumstances the steady ad
vance of onr troops is a realty 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.

WASHINGTON. April L 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 retirements
made upon the service hae 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 troos and their
equipment prior to entry. This has
been successfully accomplished by the
co-operation of the Marine hosnital
service and the quartermaster general's
uuice wunoiu an exception.
The arrival of transpoi ts at southern
norta has been so arranged as to ner
mit tne disinfection of baggage with

Transports carrying troops were sent
in accordance with this arrangement
to the quarantine stations at Dry Tor

Colonel 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 th
work. All told about 1,000 tons of bag
gage has been df3infected during the
month and no baggage was allowed to
evade that duty, although some efforts
were made in that Erection.

Man of Fillip-no Failed
WASHINGTON, April l.-A copy of
the Japanese Times of February 12
published at Tokio, has been received
here. It contains an interview with
an American uamed Crocker, whd
may be Prcf. Crocker of Columbia col-
-t,c, Ttno was an eye-witness of the
first two days' fighting about Manila,
which began February 5.
He 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 de&lroved
the water sunnlv of tho oisv it -i
have entailed great hardship upon the
nuicwuuut,, ann attributes their fail
ure to do so to their regard for the
well-being of the Filipinos in thecitv,
"During the fighting," says Mr.
Crocker, "Aguinaldo, who is supposed
to be at Malolos, communicated with
Dewey. He sent him a message, in
w-uich he said, 'For God's sake, stop
the firing,' and disclaiming all respon
sibility in connection with the start
ing of the trouble. Dewev. however,
refused compliance, and I think gui
naldo is now accepting the situation.
There was norne talk of Aguinaldo
resigning and Washing his hands of
the whole affair, but I do not think
he Will do SO. The nnininn io ,
it was not Aguinaldo who precipitated
iui ming, Dut nis followers whom
ne couia 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 00D
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."
