General MacArthur’s division at varic-

On approathing Billet-an, a town of
25,000 people, he halted, preparatory to
attacking it.
The heat was intense. being 90 degrees
on the coast and fully' 100 degrees in
the interior, which made the Americans
suffer a great deal. But in spite of the
lac-at every man was eager to proceed
trward the enemy. .
All is quiet in front of the lines of

has been formally transferred from

The rebels have unloaded about 500

object of re-enforcing the Filipino gar-

[WAR OFFICIALS HEAR LITTLE.
Assault on the Insurgent Capital E:-
pected Soon.
WASHINGTON, March 29.——There was
a lull yesterday in the reports from the
scene of action north of Manila, which
for a time was rather mystifying to the
war department authorities. Only one
dispatch from General Otis was receiv—
ed during the day dealing with the sit-
uation at the front, and this related to
Monday afternoon. A press dispatch
came late in the day, telling that the
American forces were resting beyond
Marilao. and thus General Otis' silence
on the day’s movements was explained.
After the arduous work of a three days'
fight under a fierce tropical sun,
tihrough rice swamps and jungles, it was
expected by the authorities here that
MacArthur would conserve the energies
of his men by a halt long enough to rest
and take supplies before the final blow
against Malolos, the insurgent capital.
'The supply trains are well up with the
troops, according to Otis’ report, so
that the rest permits full supplies of
ammunition and food to be distributed.
The American advance line is now be-
yond Marilao and almost up to the
large town of Bulacan. The exact dis-
tance to Malolos is uncertain, owing to
the lack of information as to just where
they are resting, but at most the dis-
tance cannot be more than 10 or 12
miles on a direct line along the rail-
way. ~At the rate of progress made in
the last two days the next 24 hours
should bring the American force well
up to the insurgent capital, it indeed
the assault on that place is not begun
by that time. The officials are disposed
to allow more time, however, consider-
ing the natural obstacles of unfordable
rivers and burned bridges. together
path the successive lines of rebel in-
trenchments. And, moreover, 'as at San-
tiago, it is not doubted that the in--
trenchments will become more formida-
ble as the city itself is approached.
Leading war department officials refer
to the desperation with which the in-
surgents were fighting. It is taken as
an indication that they have staked ev-
erything on the outcome of this fight,
and, losing it, that they will submit
rather than prolong a hopeless struggle.
In thisview _the fierceness of the rebel
fighting is taken as an evidence that,
”once whipped, they 'will stay whip-
ped.”
The navy department received noth-
ing from Admiral Dewey during the
.day', and up to the close of office hours
nothing official had been received con-
cer'n‘i’n'g' the achievement of the York-
town‘ in capturing a Spanish merchant-
puan in the gulf of Linga’yen. While the
dispatch is silent as to the cause for
the capture, it is surmised that it was,
due to- her carrying contraband of war.
