MANILA. April 11. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Lawton has
taken the Lmnban and the Pagaajan , two
gunboats , and four launches on the Santa
Cruz river. There was ono casualty.
Whllo It Is probable that there Is an end
to the big engagements In the Philippines
between tbo Americans and the Filipinos ,
the war is not over toy any means. H
is the universal opinion among army men
hero that It will require the presence ot
CO.OOO American troops to occupy the terri
tory that has been taken and to keep open
communication among the Islands. General
Lawton'n advance promises to meet with a
harassing resistance. Trenches are built by
the enemy from town to town. On all sides
the rebels arc In nightly communication by
means of signal fires. They avoid being
4' caught In a trap and arc quick to harass
the flank. -
Slnco 'March ' 25 tlio enemy's Icsses have
not .been more than double ours. Our kind
ness to the rebel wounded and prisoners
lees not allay the dogged enmity. Only a
email portion of the population of the north
have returned to their homes. Only the
diseased and aged remained In Santa Cruz.
.Agtilnaldo . Is reported to lie In San Fernando
and still In absolute charge of the defenses
of the new capltol , Calumplt. The Insur
gents cut the telegraph wires and tore up
the railway track 'between Blgaa and Bocavo
at 3 o'clock this morning. In repelling them
the Minnesota and Oregon regiments lost
live killed and sixteen wounded.

The following dispatch gives additional
Information concerning the fight of Santa

MANILA , April 11. Adjutant General ,
Washington.Lawton's success at Santa
Cruz more complete than reported yesterday.

two. Lieutenant Elllng only officer wounded ,
Blight. In hand. Enemy retired eastwardly ;
Lawton In pursuit this morning. OTIS.
The attack of the Insurgents upon uho
railway north of Manila Indicates to the
War department officials that while General
aiacArthiir was pushing north bodies of In-
HurgcntB took to the mountains and Jungles
to the right of the railway and had been
watching an opportunity to capture the roart
nt Bomo point and thus cut off the main
body of file army to the northward. The re
pulse of the natives shows that they hart
not sufficient force to accomplish their pur
pose.

MANILA , April 11. 5:55 : p. m. It Is sup
posed that many of the rebels who attackoi
General MacArthur's line of communlcatloi
nnd who were repulsed by the troops com
Jimmied by General Wheaton were native
who entered the region In the gulso o
friendllea. They had seemingly secrottM
arms In several places and fired on th
Americans from the bushes at so close i
range that they could bo huard talking
Ono of the Filipinos yelled In English
" \Vo will glvo you d d Americans enoug
of this before wo are through. "
The rebels undermined the railroad a
Marllao and unsplked the rails In an cf
fort to wreck a train , whllo the rallroa
gang participated In the tight. The work
of the rebels was discovered and repaired
before a train arrived ,
General Wheaton Is preparing to punish

"Tho Americans have fully realized that
they will never subdue the Filipinos and
that the policy of Major General Otis has
completely failed. The Filipinos have re

many reasons the Springfield weapon ls
considered by the officers In command ns In'p

tinlcer troops to the new Krag-Jorgensen
and that there still may be a question as to

HASTINGS , Neb. , April 11. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The mcst mysterious attempt at
murder over known In this vicinity occurred
yesterday afternoon. It was patterned after
Uio celebrated Adams poisoning case In Now
York.
Yesterday afternoon whllo C. V. Moroy
nnd wife were dining nt a local hotel some
unknown person left a neatly wrapped and
addressed ibex of bonbons at the door ot
Mrs. Morey's studio , together with a visit
ing card ot a prominent young society
woman of this city , upon the back of which
W.H written "homemade sweets. "
When Mrs. iMorey returned she found the
package and card , nnd not being at all sus
picious , took It Into her studio. During the
afternoon several women called nnd the
candy wan passed around. As It had a
peculiar taste , each caller expressed herself
as having had n sufficiency with ono ploco.
Airs. Morey ate two pieces. Soon after the
candy had been eaten the supposed donor
called to attend the meeting of the art class
and Mrs. 'Morey ' Immediately thanked her
for her gift , whereupon it was learned that
the young woman know absolutely nothing
In regard to the sweetmeats.
Whllo they were discussing the matter
Mrs. Moroy became deathly sick and a phy
sician was summoned. The other women
also became 111. Mrs. Morey's life was savea
only by the promptness of the physician.
So far there Is no suspicion as to the
guilty person , but It la thought some onu
has become affected mentally by reading the
details of the Adams case.
Mrs. Morey Is the wife of Attorney C. F.
iMorcy , and Is ono of the most highly
esteemed women of Hastings. She is not
known to have an enemy In the world. The
police are'at work upon the caso.

MARYVILLE. iMo. . April 11. ( Special. )
The funeral of Frank Griffin , editor ot
Grift's Maryvllle Dally Review , who wen j
| j killed hero Saturday , took place from the
j Presbyterian church , of which ho was a
I | member , this afternoon at 2 o'clock. An
hour before the tlmo for the services ar
rived the church was full. The services
wera conducted by the pastor. Rev. S. M.
Ware , formerly 'of Omaha.
No event that has occurred In this part
of ( Missouri in a quarter ot a century has
caused so great a sensation as the killing
ot Griffin , as he was known by almost every
man , woman and child in this part of tne
state. Public sentiment is still favorable
to Jesse. Grllfin attacked hundreds of people -
plo through his paper , and all of them arc
strongly In sympathy with his wlayer.
Grlfiln's course was so erratic and his dis
position to turn against those who had
most helped him so strong that ho had
almost no friends.
It leaked out today that Grlflln In IilB
dying statement declared ho 'bcllevc-d that
there wan a conspiracy to kill him and that (
Jpeao was merely a tool In the hands of
more prominent men whom ho ( Griffin ) had
attacked through his paper. The state's at
torney Is proceeding upon this theory , it is
understood , but the rumor Is generally dld-
credlted.
It Is probable that the publication of
Grlflln's paper will bo discontinued. No
Issue of It has been got out since he was
killed. Ho did all the editorial work on
It , and the typesetting and other work wore
done- entirely within his family by his wife
und daughters.
William 'Hoblltzell ' and wife of Mound
City , parents of 'Mrs. ' Jesse , were hero today
and visited Jesse at the Jail , 'Mr. ' Hoblltzoll
Is said to be wealthy and ho will help his
son-in-law in his fight for life. It appears
proba1 > lo that the defense will enter the
Insanity plea and will attempt to show that
Jrsao was so greatly exasperated by tliu
attacks tlmt Griffin made upon him that he
became mentally unbalanced and was not
responsible for Ills act.

A heate < l controversy arose between the
governor and Mr. Smith of the Pana Gazette -
zetto over the question of removing the
troops from Pana , the result of which was
that Mr. Smith was ordered lo leave the
room. Governor Tanner asked Sherilf
Downey why he left Pana when he did to
take a prisoner to Taylorvillo when he had
200 armed deputies In Pana. Thn sheriff
acknowledged that many of his special depu
ties were as anxious as anybody to kill the
prisoner.
To this the governor Bald : "You fell down i
when you left the scene of battle and left t
your deputies without a commander. I do
not think that you are capable of maintain
ing order and I think If you had been left t
In charge there would have been a turrlole
massacre. U was very evident you had mis
represented the situation to mo and I took j i
tbo responsibility upon myself to cend troops I j
