Yesterday's Fighting—Three Lines
of Introuclunents Carried—En-
emy Hidden In the Jungle.
MANILA. March ISL—Major General
MacArthur entered Malolos, ,the. seat of
the so called insurgent government, at
9:30 this morning, the rebels burning;
the city and simultaneously evacuat-
ing it.
They are now in full retreat toward
the north, where Aguinaldo and his
cabinet have been for two days.
Major General MacArthur advanced
to attack Malolos, the seat of the in—
surgent government, at ’1‘ o’clz‘cklthis
morning.
He was met with strong: opposition,
the rebels resisting; desperately. but
losing heavily.
General Hall’s brigade advanced
north from the waterworks and drove
the left wing of the enemy across.
The United States troops rested last
night about a mile and a quarter from
Malolos. The day’s advance began at 2
o'clock and covered a distance of about
two and a half miles beyond the Gui-
guinto river along the railroad. The
brunt of the battle was on the right of
the track, 11 here the enemy was appar-
ently concentr ated.
The First Nebraska First South Da-.
kota and Tenth Pennsylvania regiments
encountered them intrenched on the
border of the woods, and the Ameri—
cans, advancing across the open, suf—
fered a terrific fire for half an hour.
Four men of the Nebraska regiment
were killed and 30 wounded. Several
men of the Dakota regiment were
wounded and one of the Pennsylva-
nians was killed.
The Americans finally drove the Fili-
pinos back. Although there were three
lines of strong intrenchments along the
track, the enemy made scarcely any de-
fense there. General MacArthur and
his staff were walking on the track,
abreast of the line, with everything
quiet, when suddenly they received a
shower of bullets from sharpshooter-s in
trees and on housetops, but tl-:se were
speedily dislodged.
The enemy’s loss was apparently
small, the jungle affording them such
protection that the Americans were un-
able ‘to see them and in firing were
guided only by the sound of the Filipino
shots. The American artillery was han-
dicapped for the same reason.
Last night's long line of campfires
made a beautiful sight, with the Twen-
tieth Kansas regiment on the left of
Guiguinto.
o Dispatches From Otis.
WASHINGTON, March 31.——The fol-
lowing dispatch from General Otis has
been received at the war department.
It is dated Manila, March 31:
“MacArthur made dispositions yes~
terday for attack on Malolos today. En-
gagement opened at 7 o‘clock this morn—
ing and is now progressing. Casualties
yesterday four killed and 23 wounded,
all brought to Manila last night. Hall
moved out from camping station at
daylight this morning with three bat-
talions northeast; attacked and has

my; ordered to return this afternoon.”

Cnnmlinn Line to Dawson City.
WASHINGTON, March 31.—Consul
Brush. at Clifton, informs the state de-

graph line between Lake Bennett and
Dawson City at once, and it has also
decided to establish telegraphic com-
munication between British Columbia
and the Yukon territory. He says the
Dominion authorities regard the fran—
chise for this telegraph line as too im-
p01 tant from the standpoint of national
safety to permit it to go outside of gov-
ernment control.

The annual town meeting which was

including the laying of a. tax rate,
appropriations for repairs of highways
and bridges, and the building of ‘morc
good roads. Rehearsals have been
held in the stores during the winter

The first contest for the Verlin chal-
lenge trophy between the public schools
of Wilton. was held at the Georgetown
school house on Friday, Kent school
district being the challengers. His-
tory was the study selected for the con-
test and 200 questions had been prepar-
ed by G. W. Ogden, principal of the
Georgetown school, who originated the
idea. The children of his school under
the tuition of H. D. Benedict, had been
carefully trained and answered the in-
tricate questions with- amazing promp-
tuous accuracy for such young students.
the average age being about 13 years.
The game was played by 10 pupils on
each side, the questions on separate
cards giving ten to each player. The.
contest was called a “battle,” a failure
to answer :1. question making a. “cap-
ture” for the other side. If part of the
question was answered correctly it.
constituted a “wound,” two wounds
"killing” a. player. The exercises
opened with a. song of welcome from
the Georgetown school, written for
the occasion by Mr. Ogden. The bot.-
tle began,and tbequestious were“fired”
and returned so quickly that the entire
200 had been used within half an hour.
Over 180 were answered correctly be-
fore the first slip came, and then a. lit.-
tle chap on the Georgetown side tan-
gled up the settlers of Maryland with
those of New Jersey and was promptly
corrected by his opponent. This scored
a. “ wound ” for his side, and was the
only miss made by either of the con-
testants. At. the close of the contest
acting school visitor Reynolds awarded
the trophy to Kent district, who will
be compelled to defend it in any study
taught. in all the schools against
the other public schools of the town.
Speeches followed by Mr. Ogden, Mr.
Benedict and one or two visitors, and
then a dainty luncheon was served.
Altogether it was one of the best.
s:bool exhibitions that. could be ar-
ringed, and will do much to awaken a
friendly rivalry among the schools of
the town.
Gleat cnedit is due Mrs. Ogden and
Miss Pe1ry of the Georgetown school
and Mr. Benedict. of the Kent. district,
for the thorough training that all of
the childsen showed, a. number on both
sides b .ing under 10 years of age.
Mr. Verlin’s generous gift is a. move
in the right. direction, and. we hope to
be able to report a. number of contests
before vacation comes again.
