bead , enld :
"You have done nnbly. "
Colonel nphcrt gasped In reply :
"I must dlo ; I nm too old. "
No Filipinos wcro found In the trenches.
Though apparently their force was much
smaller than that of the Americans , they
1md an Immense advantage In position and
In opportunity to retreat.
General MacArthur's advance guard , the
Third artillery and the Twentieth Kansai ,

WASHINGTON , March 20. Advices from
General dtla wcro watched with keenest In
terest by War department officials today
and Assistant Secretary Mciklejphn , who In
the absence of Secretary Algcr is acting
secretary of war , remained in his ofllco
throughout the day In order to keep In
close touch with the progress of the fight
ing.
Many army officers were at the depart
ment nnd the president was kept advised
as to the developments as Indicated In Gen-1
era ! oils' dispatches. Early this morning
the first message from .General Otis was
received and was soon followed by others ,
whoso contents gave the officials hero their
first general Idea of the operations of the
laat few days. I
The list of killed and wounded , which Gsn-
eral Otis had promised , was waited anxiously
by the department nnd the friends and rela
tives hero of the officers and men In the
Philippines , but It was late In the afternoon
before it wai received. Much regret was
expressed at the death of Colonel Egbert ,
the only regular officer among the killed. J
Ho was among those who distinguished i
themselves at Santiago , 'being ' wounded at I
San Junn and brcxctcd for his conspicuous
gallantry In that engagement.
Thu afternoon bulletins to the War de
partment were as follows :
MANILA. March 26. 4 p. m. Our casual
ties today much lighter than yesterday. The
total reported since the engagement began
Is forty-five dead nnd 145 wounded.

parently withdraw Ing. OTIS.
General Ots' ! dispatch , received at , 1 p. m.
tonight , recording MacArthur's advance to
Ncwcannyan marked a distinct and im
portant stop by the American troops In the
opinion of Acting Secretary Melklojohn and
Adjutant General Coiibln. Both expressed
their satisfaction at what had been accom-
pllrhpJ. The former dispatches regarding
this branch of operations had not been to
promising , slating that General iMacArthur
although ho had driven the enemy , could not
gain a point north of Polo , The use of the
railway will facilitate the moving of
supplies.
The tenacity of the Filipinos In the last
few days' fighting has sccnewhat surprised
the unr officials hero , who did not think
them capable of putting up nnd maintain
ing the content they have.
TOio Associated Press 'bulletin ' dated at
91B ; Uio morning of the 27th was the first
news of Monday's fighting received by the
War department officials , General Otis' dis

LONDON , March 27. The Philippine cam
paign of late had rather lost Interest for
British readers , but today there Is an , entire
change. All the dispatches are printed
prominently and at length.
Most of the papers contain editorials ex
pressing admiration for the bravery of the
American troops nnd sympathy with them
In the difficulties they have encountered ,
The general opinion Is that the American
victories are not conclusive , slnco the Filipinos
pines have not learned the lesson of the
hopelessness of resisting the United States.
The Standard says :
"Tho Americans are fighting the rebels
with a dash and vigor that arc In marked
contrast to the fnltoilug blows aimed at
them by the Spanish generals. Englishmen
will read with sympathy of the su'ccesslvo
charges of the American Infantry across the
open In the face of n heavy fire. Work such
as this has had to bo done time without
number In the course of our own empire-
making. "
The Dally Telegraph says :
"All the accounts show that the Ameri
cans will have to bear their full share of
the NVhttc Man's Burden. '
. "Tho experience the United States is gath
ering today Is that of every power which
has soug'ht to found beyond Its own
shores. "
The Dally News :
"Tho ultimate result can hardly bo
doubted , but stratcgetlcally Manila Is still
threatened/ '
The Dally Chronicle Bays :
"All America lias to guard against Is
guerrilla warfare , and the only way to do
that Is to drive roads through the heart of
ttio country and to i > pn the Insurgents In
corners from which they cannot escape. "
The Dally Mall , remarking on the Im
proved tactics of the Insurgents , wlio "In
many cases seem to have better arms than
the Americans , " says :
. "We now see the lesult of sending an
army Into the field Improperly organized and
improperly armed. "
CAREER OF COLONEL EGBERT
Served ifi the C111 'War , In Indian
CniiiimlKii anil I" the Spaii-
iNli War.
Colonel Harry C. Egbert Is pronounced by
ormy men to havr been one of the most be
loved officers in the service. Ho was a
man of small stature , but active and wiry ,
nnd a superb .soldier. Ills manners are
said to have been most courtly and kind
nnd he was known ns an officer jwho was
n gentleman at all times and In all places.
He was little known in Omaha , for he ar
rived at Fort Crook only a few days before
his regiment started on Its long journey.
Ho bad Just passed his 60th year and had'
been In the service of the United States
nearly thirty-eight years.
Colonel Egbert was born In Pennsylvania
January 3 , 1831) ) . At the outbreak of the
civil war h'o was appointed from civil life
as first lieutenant In the Twelfth Infantry
and on April 1 , 1SC5 , wtis-mnJe a captain.In
the same regiment. April , 23 , 1890 , he was
promoted as a major and transferred to the
Seventeenth Infantry. May 18 , 1893 , he , was
appointed lieutenant colonel of the Sixth
Infantry. Ho was serving In this position
during the campaign In Cuba and when
Colonel Charles A. Wlkoff of the Twenty-
secant } was killed Egbert was made colonel
of that regiment. Some time afterward ho
was made a brigadier general of volunteers ,
being discharged just before taking com
mand of the Twenty-second.
Colonel Egbert's career has been dis
tinguished by his fighting qualities. Ills
record during the civil war was especially
one of great activity. Ho participated In
tlie battles and operations at Cedar Moun
tain , Frederlcksburg , Ilappahannock Sta
tion. Chancellorsvlllc , Gettysburg , Mine Hun ,
Wilderness , Laurel Hill , Spottsylvanla ,
North Anna and Bethsoda Church. Ho was
captured at Cedar Mountain and confined
in LIbby prison , from which ho was soon
afterward exchanged. Ho was captured
again at Gettysburg , but escaped. Ho was
breveted for gallant service at North Anna
and Bothseda Church , being wounded In
the latter engagement. Ho was honorably
mentioned by Generals Doubledsxy nnd New
ton In their reports on the battle of Get
tysburg.
Opportunities for displaying his abilities
as a fighter did not end with the close of
the civil war. Colonel Egbert was stationed
on tha frontier during the ' 70s , and tool ;
part in many Indian engagements , Ho
commanded n battalion In the Nez Perces
campaign In 1877 and also In the Bannock
campaign In 1878. Ho had command of sev
eral army posts during the period from the
close of the civil war to the 'beginning ' of
the trouble with Spain.
Colonel Egbert's ecrvlcca In Cuba were
of dho same high character as those which
marked his career earlier In life. Ho was
severely wounded In one of the battles before -
fore Santiago. The first report had him
listed with the dead. IIo was shot through
the lungs and his lllfo.tu . despaired of ,
but ho recovered In time to go with his
regiment when it left Fort Crook for the
Philippines.
Colonel Egbert was stationed for some
I line at Fort Thomas near Cincinnati. He
enjoyed social life and was popular with the
people In that city. Several of the CIn.
clnnatl papers expressed a feeling of In
dignation that the colonel should be ordered
to the Philippine ? after his serious wounds
In Cuba , and Insinuated that It was impos
ing an unnecessary hardship upon that
officer. The colonel himself , however , did
not take that view , and rather courted the
chance for further military activity.
Ho was accompanied on his trip to the
Philippines by Mrs. Egbert nnd their three
daughters. Mrs. Egbert said that after her
experience dining the absence of the
colonel In the Cuban campaign slio deter
mined that on future assignments she
would go with her husband. The colonel
said hs wanted the members of his family
to remain behind , but they refused to do
BOS and ho , therefore , took them with tolm.
The news of Colonel Egbert's death was
a severe * hock to army officers at head
quarters In this city. To Geneial Sumrier It
came almost as a personal loss. The two
officers had been Intimate friends for years ,
and the same was true of their respective
families. General Suraner and Colonel
Egbert were together during the Bannock
Indian campaign and the former hoped to
the la-U that the bad news from Manila
might not bo confirmed. Few of the other
officers knew much of the colonel except
through the acquaintance acquired during
the few days t"ho officers was at Fort Crook ,
but In that short time they learned to ad
mire the eoldlerly bearing of the man , and
to reaped him as an Individual ,
WASHINGTON , March 26. ( Special Tele-
gram.Colonel ) Carter , In speaking of
Colonel Egbert , eald ho was one
of the most fortunate , and at the same
tlmo most unfortunate of men , Said he ;
"I do not retail an engagement In which
Harry Egbert participated that lie did not
get a wound. .Now , 7,000 , miles away from
hla native chores , ho gets his fatal shot
leading his regiment "
Owing to the absence from the War de
partment of clerks having Immediate charge
I of the enlistment papers In the adjutant
general's office , It will bo Impossible to
ascertain who the next friends are of these
wounded In the battles of Polo , Caloocan
and about IManlla until tomorrow.

WASHINGTON , March 28. Captain Mau
rice G. Kra > enbush , reported by General
Otis as mortally wounded , was born In nnd
appointed to the Military academy from
Minnesota. Ho was the honorary graduate
of the Artillery school of 1S96 and his last
assignment in the regular establishment was
as first lieutenant In the Third artillery. On
the 7th of last December ho accepted the
position of captain In the Subsistence de
partment In the volunteer army. Captain
Kraycnbiish was married.

Thcro Is n movement on foot among the

necessary to reconsider the Joint resolution

It Is probable that nn effort will be made
In the senate tomorrow to push the stnto

WASHINGTON , March 26. The death of
Prince Ludnlg Karl Loon cnstcln-Wcrthelin
In yesterday's fighting ends a career which
of lute had seemed mysterious and given
rise to no little speculation.
According to a dispatch from London to
the 'Associated Press on March 4 , the prince ,
who married I ady Anne Savllle , n daughter
of the earl of Mexiborough , had been lost
sight of by his friends and an advertisement
Inquiring as to his whereabouts had ap
peal cd In London newspapeis. This elicited
a dispatch from Manila saying- that the
missing prince was In the Philippines , had
been there for many months , was present
at the destruction of Montojo's llect and wad
n member of the European club. The dis
patch also stated that his behavior had given
rise to a suspicion that be was acting as the
confidential agent of the German gove.m-
inent. It was further alleged that before
Manila surrendered he was allowed to pass
In and out of the Spanish and insurgent
lines , each party apparently regarding him
as favorable to themselves. For a few days
It was even asserted ho had acted ns a vol
untary aide do camp on the staff of Briga
dier General Miller.
The London Dally Mall about the same
time said It had information that Prince
Ludwlg was In Hello In January of this year
and , iwlth other papers , It asked the mean
ing of these "mysterious movements. "
