The Country Between Ma1ilno and Manila :1 Picture of Desolation. Natives Flee From Their Homes In 'l‘error. MANILA, March 30.—~At daylight yes- ‘terday General MacArthur’s division advanced from Marilao along the rail- road to Bigaa. five miles distant, in the following order: The Nebraska regiment, the South Dakota regimentand the Pennsylvania regiment on the right; the Kansas reg- iment, the Third artillery and the Mon- tana regiment on the left and General Wheaton’s brigade in reserve. The American forces met with strong oppo— sition in the jungle. First one Nebras- kan, then one Pennsylvanian and after- ward two of the Montana regiment were killed and 35 wounded, including one officer of the Kansas regiment. Thence the trc‘ops pushed on to Bigaa without opposition, the rebels burning iiie villages as they retreated 'in bad order toward Malolos. The enemy also tore up sections of the railroad in many places and attempted to burn the bridge at Bigaa. but the fire was extinguished. Owing to the timely arrival of the Americans the rebels had not finished their trenches along the line of the day’s march, showing they Were not prepared for our advance. It is believ- ed,‘ however, that there will be a hard fight before MalolL-s is taken. The Minnesota. regiment re-enforced the division yesterday, marching from the waterworks during the night to Manila and going to the front by train. The Filipinos fired volleys Tuesday evening for the purpose of dra11ing the American fire and disclosing the locality of our positions. Two men of: the Penn- sylvania regiment and one man belong- ing to the Dakota regiment were wounded. The Americans remained si- lent. The country betw een Mai-lino and Ma- nila. presents a picture of desolation. Smoke is curlingfrom hundreds of ash 'heaps, and the remains of trees and fences torn by shrapnel are to be seen everywhere. The geneial appca1ance of the country is as if it had been swept by a cyclone. The roads are strewn with furniture and clothing dropped in . flig‘ht by the Filipinos. The only people remaining behind are awfew aged per- sons, too infirm to escan e." ‘ They camp bbside t uins of their former homes and beg passersby for any kind of assistance; The majority of them are living on the generosity of 'our soldiers, who give them portions of their rations. The dogs of the Filipinos cower in the bushes, still terrified and barking, while herds of pigs are to be seen busily’ searching for food. Bodies of dead Filipinos are stranded in the shallows of the river or are rest- ing in: the jungle where the wounded .men crawled to die or were left in the wake of the hurriedly retreating army. These bodies give forth a horrible odor but there is no time at present to bury them. The inhabitants who fled from flari- lao and Meyeaua-‘yan left in such a panic that on the tables our soldiers found spread money and valuables and in the rooms were trunks containing other property of value. This was the case in most of the houses deserted. Dewey Said Nothing of the Fight. WASHINGTON March 30. —The, navy department has had no confirmation of the press dispatches reporting the shell- , ing of Malabon by the Monadnock on sanday and of Las Pinas to the south of Manila on Tuesday. Neither has it confirmation of the report of the, firing upon and killing of a. sdlor and ‘the wounding of three- others' on the Mo- nadnock nor of the. landing of' marines at Malabon. Admiral Dewey cabled the department yesterday about some rou- tine matters relative to supplies for the marines, saying he could secure every- thing save cooking stoves, but he made no mention of the matters reported in- the press dispatches. Neither did his cables touch upon anything relative to the fighting nor the situation at Manila and the vic1nity. Sheridan Ten Days Fronl Manila. Vi A SHINGTOi', March 30. ——Some mis- apprehension has been caused by re- p01ts that General Otis was about to secure 1,900 re-enforcements by the transport Sheridan, thus giving him timely aid on the‘firing line north of l‘.«'i.anila. Colonel Bird, who directs the movements of vessels, says the Sheri- dan is not due at Manila for ten days or more. She sailed Feb. 28, and that allows 40 days for her passage. She has not 1ep01ted from Singapore, 11 hich is five days from Manila. No More Recruits For Philippines. SYRACUSE, March 30.——Major ‘H. G.

Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn and Adjutant General Corbin, who have kept close track of the progress of the American army and the condition of the troops, were with him for some time. With them he went over the situation and expressed his pleasuie at the good progress General Otis and his generals had made, though he regretted the loss of life. , Secretary Alger has reported a favor- able condition of affairs in Cuba and has expressed the opinion that more troops than there are now in the island will not be needed.

Some attention 1153 paid to the cam- paign of the t: ozms in the Philippines, and the adrn i111 -':1';-il.ion is confident of the capture or 1‘..alclos the insurgent capital, in a fe :4. The axiival he1e of delegates fro: :1 me Cuban assembly was touched upon, and the discussion brought out a reiteration of the con— clusion to pay no attention'to their de- mands. It is felt that the'assembly delegates represent a disturbing ele— ment and that under no circumstances would they be formally received by this government. CUBANS CALL US LIARS. Santiago Claimed to Be the Health- iest City In the \Vorld. SANTIAGO, Cuba, March 30.—It is probable that the bandits recently ar- rested in the San Luis district will be sent to El Moro and set at work to earn their rations for a time. Various repairs are needed there. - The Independencia says that “the Americans as liars are quite equal to the Spaniards." This is ‘an allusion to the reports of the fighting in the Phil- ippines. The paper says: “All the accounts describe the im- mense losses of the Filipinos and the very slight losses of the Americans, but'this is an old trick which should deceive nobody. Geneial Alger, United States secre- tary of we r, is expected here on Sat- ur.day The merchants of Santiago, in the light of the health reports for the last five months, consider that there is less disease here proportionally than in any other city of the same size'in the world. Its sanitary condition they regard as nearly perfect, and they strongly op- pose the enforcement of quarantine laws against Santiago. Indeed, they are considering how to devise health laws against the other parts of the is- land. Yellow feveris evidently stamp- ed out he1e. Killed In the Storm. OPELIKA.
