HALL‘S MEN nun ALL DAY.
The Advance T0ward Antipolo “7:13
Begun Saturday—After a Tircsonie
Journey and Much Fighting the
Tou‘n \Vns Found Deserted.
MANILA, June ’5.——The position of the
American troops now indicates that they
will today sweep the peninsula of Mo-
rong, the land projecting to the south in—
to Laguna de Bay, where the insurgents
are supposed to have a large force near
the town of Morong, as well as the' bat-
tery on the western shore of the penin-
sula which recently smashed the propel-
ler of the gunboat Napidan.
General Hall is marching from Anti-
polo, about six and a half miles north-
west of Morong, toward the peninsula,
with his forces spread out to cover a
largesection. Colonel Truman. with the
First North Dakota regiment and the
Twelfth infantry, is advancing along the
coast of the lake from Taytay. incident-
ally clearing several small towns, while
Colonel “'holley, with the First “’ash-
iugton regiment, has landed on the penin-
sula above the town of Morong.
The original plan was to surround the
forces of General Pio del l’ilar so that
he must retreat to the Morong peninsula,
where capture would have been inevita-
ble. This was not a complete success, be-
cause General IIall’s column found the
country full of handicaps to marching.
There were several streams to be bridged
or forded, and the troops frequently
tloundered through morasscs waist deep
in mud. an experience which under the
exhausted the Americans
quite beyond endurance. Most of Gener-
al Pio del Pilar's followers are supposed
to have escaped northward. probably
reaching Bosoboso. a stronghold in the
mountains.
General Hall‘s column, which assem-
bled at the water works. or pumping sta-
tion. late Friday night under cover of a
moonless sky, consists of the Second
Oregon volunteers, who marched to the
point of rendezvous from the city bar-
racks; a battalion of the Second \Vyo-
ming regiment, four troops of the
Fourth cavalry-—oue mounted on the big
American horses which so impressed the
natives, the others unmounted—two bat-
talions of the Fourth infantry. one bat-
talion of the Ninth infantry, the first six
companies of the First Colorado regi-
ment and two mountain guns. Tile men
rolled themselves in their blankets and
lay upon the wet grass for a few hours
under a drizzling rain. '
At 4 o‘clock Saturday morning they—
began to cross the San Mateo river and
about noon easily repulsed a large band
of Filipinos about 12 miles east of Mn-
nila. between Mariquina and Antipolo.
The Oregon regiment. the cavalry, the
artillery and the Fourth infantry accom—
plished this task. driving the insurgents
from the hills, the other troops being
held in reserve, but afterward joining
the main column in the pursuit toward
th? 599.-

A running light was in progress all the
afternoon. A Filipino outpost first‘at-
tacked a few American scouts. where-
upon the Fourth cavalry formed a long
skirmish line and easily drove the insure
gents into the hills. Then the Oregon
regiment moved across a wet, soggy rice-
field in extended order toward the hills,
where it was believed a large force of
the enemy had concentrated. “'hen the
Oregonians were within about a mile of
the position, the Filipinos opened a
heavy fire, the Americans replying and
pressing forward more rapidly.
Colonel W'holley, with two battalions
of the First \Vashington regiment, a bat-
talion of the Twelfth infantry, two guns
of Scott’s battery and a party of scouts
under Major Jeisenberger, left San Pe-
dro Mar ti Saturday morning, and, after
fording the river Pasig, advanced north-
east upon Cainta, while General Hall ap-
proached the town from the opposite di-
rection, the gunboats Napidan, Covadon-
ga and Oeste co-operating in the river..
General Hall’s column, in the move-
ment on the Morong peninsula, completed
a circuit of 20 miles over rough country,
having two engagements with the insur-
gents, one of them severe, and keeping
up an almost constant fire against scat-
tered bands of rebels for nearly 24 hours
from 4 o’clock Saturday morning, when
the column left the pumping station.
The Filipinos were driven in every di-
rection, and the country through which
General Hall passed was pretty thor-
oughly cleared. At 10 o’clock yesterday
morning the column reached a point a
few miles from Taytay, where General
Hall was met by General Lawton. who
had already entered the town and found
it deserted.
General Hall‘s objective point was An-
tipolo. ten miles off, andthere was desul«
tory tiring all along the line of march.
The gu‘nboats could be heard shelling the
hills in advance of the column.
The column, after driving the rebels
from the foothills near Maria Chino
é about noon Saturday with a loss of but
1
two or three slightly wounded, proceeded
i with all possible haste towardLaguna de
Bay, the Fourth cavalry in the lead. the
Oregon regiment next and the Fourth in»
fantry last. At 5 o'clock these three regi-
ments fought their second battle of the
day, and it resulted, like the first, in the
complete rout. of a large Filipino force lo-
cated in the mountains and having every
advantage of position. In this fight the
American loss was four killed—three of
the Fourth cavalry and one Oregonian—
and about 15 wounded. The Filipino loss
could not be ascertained, but the terrific
fire which the Americans poured into
them for half an hour must have inflicted
l
severe punishment. In this engagement ‘
our troops made one of the most, gallant
charges of the war, and the enemy was
forced to flee in the greatest disorder.
The troops.
after camping for the:
night on the battlefield, started at 5 yes- I
terday morning for Antipolo, where it
was expected a strong resistance would
be made. Antipolo is a place far up in
the mountains. which the Spaniards had
said the Americans could never capture.
It has cost Spain the lives of 300 troops.
The progress of the column was con-
siderably delayed’while passing up the
steep mountain grade by a small band of
insurgents. but these were‘ effectually
routed by the Fourth cavalry, which was
in advance, and the troops reached Anti-
po_lo in a few hours:
' U'ur 'lines' were Immediately thrown
around on three'sides of the town, and
then the final advance Was made. But it
was found unnecessary to fire a shot.
Not a rebel was visible, and the town
was. entirely abandoned.

Voorhees Not Communicated With.
NE'W YORK, June 5.——Governor
Voorhees, at Elizabeth, N. J., said last
night that he had not been communicat-
ed with as yet by the New York authori-
ties and probably would not be until aft-
er an indictment had been found against
the woman Carrie Jones. He said it
was possible the requisition might be
made on Tuesday, but he did not think
it would be sooner. The formalities will
take until toward the end of the week
possibly before the girl can be transfer-
red to New York in a legal manner.

HAVANA, June 5.—General Collazo
pubh‘shes in The Herald of Havana a
letter expounding the Cuban idea of the
situation. He says in part: “A good deal
of the discussion now inprogress shows
that the real situation is misunderstood.
Both the Americans and the Cubans de«
sire the independence of the island—the
Americans because they are pledged to
it and the Cubans because of patriotic
and political considerations. Between the
two stands the Washington administrav
tion, 1' presenting the important business
interests involved. There is no doubt
that the beauty and rich possibilities of
Cuba have aroused in many of our visit-
ors a greed which is responsible for the
attempt to create the notion that the
country is warlike, whereas the fact is
that the Cubans are so docile that even
the desperation of hunger will not lead
them into wrongful action.
"The otter of charity affronts the digni-
ty of our, people, and the gratuity of $3,-
000,000 insults them. The United States
government, if it intends to free the is-
land. should pay what is due the army
in the form of a loan to Cuba, which the
Cubans would gladly and easily repay.
“'0 do not want gifts. and the course
hitherto followed discredits the American
government among us and inspires dis-
trust. The Cubans have been deceived
for four centuries, and it is only logical
that they should be suspicious now. They
were formerly taught that the Americans
had an honest home administration,
which conformed strictly to law and
knew no favoritism except that based
upon merit.
“In practice here the Cubans see just
the contrary exemplified. No one among
us sees in advance the measures to be
promulgated; the caprice of the military
chiefs is paramount; the people are a
lifeless factor, that can exert no power
nor even protest except in public meet-
ings and the press. The Cubans are
starving, while hundreds of thousands of
dollars are spent upon palaces for the
American commanders, who apply the
military or the Spanish law as their
whim suggests. Charity, such as is
offered, must be in any event useless, be-
cause inadequate. Cuba will not re-
cuperate without $50,000,000 to finance
her agriculturists and without paying
the army what it deserves. In this way
recuperation can be accomplished. All
. that is necessary is the will of the Amer-
ican administration.”
According to a dispatch from Guines,
Lieutenant Colonel George M. Randall,
who, with the pay car and his escort,
arrived here Saturday to continue the
payment of the Cuban troops, slipped on
a piece of banana peel yesterday and j
1 score st )od 13 to 2.
broke a tendon in his left leg. This ne-
cessrtated his sendingl‘or crutcflres and
.-
his negro servant. Though in' great ,
pain, he declines to give up the work he
has in hand and was in attendance all
'day at the disbursement office.
When the pay car arrived at. Guines,
it was met by a large crowd, and the
guards had considerable work in keep-
ing the people back. Colonel Randall
made 174 payments and rejected 37 ap-
plicants. The payments made yesterday
brought the total up to 417, and there
was a large crowd still waiting at 5
o’clock, when the office“ closed. Proba-
bly all of today will be required to com-
plete the payments.
The crowds were orderly. It was re-
ported that General Hernandez had
made threats against soldiers who
should accept American money, but in
the course of an interview this afternoon
he asserted that he had given arms to all
soldiers who were desirous of making
application.
Confederate Flowers Rejected.
COLUMBUS, 0., June 5.—The G. A.
_R. posts of Columbus received consider-
able notoriety last week on account of
having refused to receive a floral tribute
from cx-Confederates of the south to be
placed on Unibn graves here. The floral
committee, which rejected the emblem,
has prepared a statement explaining the
matter. The report says: “The chair—
.man of the committee, in accepting the
wreath, did not know what entered into
the formation of the emblem. \Vhen it
was learned that the design contained
the emblem of the American flag sup-
ported by an arm clothed in the Confed-
erate gray above and an arm clothed in
blue beneath, many members of the
Grand Army of the Republic entered
their protests against the placing of the
emblem upon the mound, and it was re- ,
jected.”

BURLINGTON, ‘Vt., June 5.—-The

.of Iowa today received enough pledges
by telegraph and mail to give him 102
