Protection 01' the Troops.
MANILA, April 4.—A reconnaissance
made yesterday by the cavalry under
llcneral Rucker developed into a sharp
lkirmish with 1.000 inSurgents intrench—
ed at Quingua. five. miles northeast of
Malolos, the main body Of the rebel ar-
my being- apparently between Quingua
and Pulitan. Other detached forces of
the enemy retreated to the eastward
and entered the Mateo valley wcher
they we1e repulsed by Genczal Hall’s
troops. '
Scouts perntrating close to Calumpit
found a small group of mules sinking in
a soft spot in the road. This led to the
discovery Of two breechloading coast
guns buried at the crossroads. The
presence of the guns there is a mystery.
'i‘he troops will make a thorough search
for any additional arms that may be
hidden. '
Major Kobbe 0f the Third artillery
has been appointed provost marshal.
The 20 miles of country between Cal-
oocan and Malolos is dotted with white
flags displayed by hundreds of Filipinos
who are returning to their homes. The
better class Of the Filipinos, who fled at
the approach Of the American troops,
are now coming back overland or in
boats to Malolos. A priest entered the
American lines, asking permission to
return to his clerical duties. .
Prisoners captured by the American
troops report that there is a scarcity Of
food among the insurgent troops.
General MacArthur estimates that
100,000 Filipinos deserted their homes
and believes that their desire to return
is a most favorable indication.

Insnrg‘ent Government \Vaning.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-—The follow-
ing dispatch flom General Otis, dated
Manila, April“ 0, has been recci1- ed at the
War department:
“Present indications denote insurgent
government in perilous condition; its
army defeated, discouraged and scat-
tered. Insurgents returning to their
homes in cities and villages between
here and points north of Malolos which
our reconnoitering parties have reached
and desire protection Of Americans.

ton through a c1in1inal Ope1at10n1ike-
wise ushers in the third week of the fa-
mous trial. It is believed, however, that
yesterday‘s proceedings mark “the be-
ginning of the end" so far as the prose—
cution is concerned. as there is little
doubt that before court adjourns today
the state will have presented all its di~
rect evidence. ,The defense. however,
promise to occupy all of this week and
the one following in pies enting thei1
side of the case, so that the pioceed‘mgs
are to be assuredly long drawn out.

On upper Third avenue, Brooklyn,
two slant-cycd Celestials have opened
