SAN Tong TAKEN:

Filipinos Routed After a. Sharp '

Engagement.

GENERAL FUNSTON IS WGUNDED.

 

General Lynn’s Forces Must Either
Surrender or Annihilation Seems
to Await Thom. as the Ameri-
earns Control Strategic Points.

MANILA, May 5, ——Major General
MacArthur has carried San Tomas after
encountering a strong resistance.

Brigadier General Hale moved on.the
enemy’s right and Brigadier General
VVheaton attacked the left in a daring
charge, in which Drigadier General
Funston again distinguished himself.

The Kansan was wounded in the

hand, and several other officers and en- ,

listed men were also wounded.

Colonel Sumner, with a part of the
Oregon and Minnesota regiments and a
gun of the Utah battery, took Maasin,
on the right, resting four miles from
San Fernando.

The Filipinos are retreating toward
San Isidro.

It is expected that they will make a
stand at Arayat, at which place the
whole of the rebel forces in the province
of Panpanga is. concentrated.

It is reported that, impressed by re-
cent events, the Filipinos are wavering
in their allegiance to the insurrection
and are likely to assume a neutral atti-
tude. '

It seems as though General Antonio
Luna’s forces are destined to destruc-
tion within a few days unless they sur-
render or scatter.

The American army has been skillful-
ly posted at points of immense strategic
advantage. The insurgents expected
them to advance on Balinag by way of
Quingua and had furrowed the entire
country beyond Quingua with the
strongest sort of intrenchments.

Instead of taking this course General
Mac-Arthur swung toward San Tomas,

. the route of which was almost unpro-

tected. General Lawton brought his
brigade in against Balsuam from the
southeast, covering the line of retreat
of the rebels toward the mountains and
depriving them of a refuge-upon which
they had always counted; General
Lawton captured 50,000 boshels of rice,
an important part of the stores estab—
lished by the rebels.

WAR DEPARTMENT PLEASED.

The Movements Cable-d by Otis Meet
“71‘“: General Approbntion.

WASHINGTON, May 5.—The war de-
partment is satisfied from the dispatch-
es received from General Otis yesterday
that the American commander has put
aside the insurgent temporizing over
peace and has turned his attention to
most aggressive tactics. The wisdom
of this course was fully approved by
officials here, whohave foreseen that
the rebels needed further chastisement
in order to bring them to a realizing
sense of their position. Early dispatches
from General Otis clearly defined the
general plan of his latest movement.
He is moving in two main columns, Ma-
jor General MacArthur pushing straight
forward over a nine mile stretch of
country between Calumpit and the lat-
est rebel stronghold, San Fernando, and
Major General Lawton directing a.
strong force under Colonel Sumner to
prevent the insurgents from retreating
from San Fernando into the mountains
to the north. The later dispatches

showed there had been hot work in the-

execution of the movement, particular-
ly in General MacArthur’s advance on
San Fernando. The defeat of Luna at
San Tomas and the scattering of the
insurgent forces leaves MacArthur four
miles from San Fernando, with a clear
road before him. He will take the city
this morning, according to General Otis’
plans.

The taking of towns is no longer look—
ed upon by the authorities here as of
chief moment, the main consideration
being to intercept the insurgents. Gen—
eral Lawton's movement northward to
Maasin is designed to keep a body of
American troops to the north of the
rebels and between them and their line
of retreat to the mountains. _

Following is the text of a cablegram
received from Otis late yesterday, dated
Manila, May 5:

“Colonel Sumner, with six battalions
Oregon, Dakota, Third infantry and
piece Utah Light artillery of Lawton’s
division proceeded north this morning
to Maasin. Crossed river, charged en—
emy in strong intrenchments, driving
him northward and inflicting consider-
able loss. His casualties, two wounded.
Both Wheaton and Hale of MacArthur’s
division found enemy in force strongly
intrenched and commanded by Com-
mander In Chief Luna. about four miles
south San Fernando. Hale, on right,
dislodged enemy, and Wheaton, on left,
leading in person, made a brilliant
charge, scattering his forces and in-
flicting great punishment. Several offi-
cers and men seriously wounded. Mac-
Arthur proceeds to San Fernando in
morning. Delayed by partial destruc-
tion of bridge across river. Not be-
lieved enemy will make another deter-
mined stand until he effects retreat to
Mount Arayat, shor distance from San
Isidro.”

The war department received in the
morning a. long dispatch describing the
situation with reference to the move-
ments against the enemy. General Otis
says: '

“Situation as follows: Lawton holds
Baluag, captured 2d inst. after rapid
movement from Aguat, where supplied
with wagon train, pack animals and
rations. He scattered the strongly in-
trenched enemy to the north and north-
westward, capturing large amounts of
food supplies, and has his detachments
to north and eastward. His successful
movement attended with great diffi-
culty because of character of country,
rain and heat. He now covers our rail-
way cemmunication and will be sup-
plied from Malolos. MacArthur’s col-
umn, concentrated. took up advanc: on
San Fernando at 6:30 this morning. Do

not apprehend stout resistance on part

of enemy, who will probably leave rail—
road and retire in northeasterly direc-
tion to north of Lawton. Destruction
of railroad near Calumpit necessitates
dependence on wagon transportation.
Enemy to south and east of Manila.
about 9,000, opposed by sufficient force
under Ovenshine and Hall. His demon-
stratlons thus far promptly met by
these officers, with slight losses. Many
requests received .tromloutlying cities
{or protection against insurgent troops."

Np MARRIAGE PLANNED.

I nxnor That General Wheeler In to
View! Mrs. Childs Again Revived.
PHILADELPHIA, May 4.——The Ledg-

or today makes an authoritative denial

of the widely published statement that

a marriage was contemplated between

Mrs. George W. Childs and General Jo-

seph Wheeler. The denial of the truth

of the report was made yesterday by

 

Mrs. Childs to Major J. M. Carson, the'

; W’ashington correspondent of The Ledg-

 

er, who telegraphs his paper as follows:
“Several weeks age a story was given

I wide publicity through the newspapers

to the effect that a marriage was con-
templated between Mrs. George W.
Childs of this city, formerly of Philadel-
phia, and General Joseph Wheeler of
Alabama. This publication caused Mrs.
Childs much annoyance, but she
frained from making any public denial
from a mistaken belief that the absence
of any foundation for the story would
cause it to pass from the public mind
and from an aversion to adding to the
publicity which a denial would bring.
”The revival of the mischievous story,
embellished with details that have been
invented to give it plausibility, has
brought additional annoyance and dis-
tressto Mrs. Childs and has induced her
to reconsider the determination not to
notice the false report. In a conversa—
tion with The Ledger correspondent
Mrs. Childs, after expressing surprise at
the original story and indignation with
the persistence with which it has been
adhered to, requested that the fullest
and broadest denial be given in The
Ledger. There was not at any time the
slightest foundation for the story or
justification for its publication."

Damaged by Prairie Fires.

SIOUX CITY, 1a., May 4.—Definite re-
ports show hundreds of thousands of
dollars of damage by prairie fires in va-
rious parts of South Dakota. In San—
born county several dozen farmers lost
everything. From Jerauld county comes
a like story. South of Armour a large
number of farmers were burned' out.
In southern Buffalo county nearly three
townships are burned over. Damage
in, ,this county will amount to thou-
sands, and it is reported that two men
lost their lives. Near Castlewocd Mrs.
Erickson was burned to death while
trying to save horses.

PHILADELPHIA, Ma'y 4.—Foreign

est in the coming national exposition of
manufacturers and the international
commercial congress which is to con-
vene in connection with it on Oct. 10
nex . From one _e_nd of the world to the
