.SANTA' CRUZ TO BE CAPTURED.

The Expedition Expected t'o'Rcach
the City Sunday Morning—Rebels
.Attempt to Break the Lines at

Culiculi, but Are RepulSed.

MANILA, April 10. ——The expedition of
1, 500 men under Major General Henry
W. Lawton, which started Saturday
night pith the intention of crossing
Laguna de Bay, capturing Santa Cruz,
on the eastern shore of the lake, and
then sn eeping the country to the south,
consists of 200 picked sharpshooters
chosen from the various 1egiments,
Hawthorne’s mountain battery, Gales
squadron, three troops of the Fourth

Tappen’s battalions of the Fourteenth
infantry, Linck’ s battalion of the First
Idaho infantry and F1aine’s battalion
of the First North Dakota in antry un-
der General King.

The flotilla of 20 canoes, towed by

guna de Bay, Oeste and, N appidan and
preceded by the launch containing Gen—
eral Lawton and General King, started
from Pedro Macati, on the river Pasig,
moving toward the lake just‘as 0evening
was setting in. It was a truly pictur-
esque scene. The men were all in high
spirits and carried rations for ten days,
with the lightest marching equipment.

General Lawton’s plan was to reach
Santa Cruz yesterday morning at day-
break, to_ capture or destroy any rebel
gunboats or shipping, to take the town
and then to scour the country to the
south of the lake, at district 1161: yet ex-
plored by the Americans. The tactics
will be those of the old time frontier
fighting. and it is probable that the
command will be divided into squads of
12 under noncommissioned officers.

In General Lawton’s absence the Sec-
ond division is temporarily commanded
by General Ovenshine, whose lines ex—
tend from the beach near Malate, south
of Manila, to the shore of Laguna de
Bay, beyond Pasig, a distance of about
seven miles.

The withdrawal of the 18 companies
constituting the expeditionary force
made 'a gap in the line from the beach
to Culiculi, just southwest of San Pedro
Macati, which was subsequently filled
by the Fourth regular infantry. The
rebels on the extreme right had evi-
dently been informed of the withdrawal
of the troops, and they attempted -to
sneak through after night, but they
met with a warm reception and fell
back in disorder on discovering that the
line was still intact.

Washing-ton Officials Expectant.

WASHINGTON, April 10.—The war
department authorities look for impor-
tant news from Manila today, announc-
ing, in all probability, the capture of the
city. of Santa Cruz 3. leading town in a
country as yet untouched by the Amer-
ican and now in the hands of the Fil-
ipino forces. The move is looked upon
as one of the natural steps in General
Otis’ carefully laid plans against the
insurgents. Santa Cruz is a place of
considerable importance in several re-
spects. It is the capital of the province
of Laguna and has a population, ac—
cording to the best available informa-
tion here, of considerably more than

' , 13,90 0 persons.

“7118618? to Be U. of C. President.

ITHACA, N. Y., April 10.—During the
last two or three days it has been re-
ported among the members of‘ Cornell’s
faculty and student body that Professor
B. I. Wheeler of Cornell university is
likely to be the next president of the
University of California. He lately
made a trip to the Pacific coast, where,
it was said. he went to deliver some
lectures at the. California institution. It
is now thought that the main object of
his visit west was to see the western
institution and negotiate with its au-
thorities. ,,

ously ill.

NEW YORK LAWMAKERS. .

They Make Haste Slowly,_ and ~Ad-

journment Is. Not In Sight.'
1 ALBANY, April 10.4-As time passes
and the most important measures of the
session remain unacted upon the date
of final adjournment of the legislature
grows more remote. Today no one hopes
for adjournment before the 1st of May,
and it would not be surprising were
the end3postponed until the middle of
May; Nearly all the bills affecting mu-
nicipal interests which must receive the
consideration of the local authorities
still‘slumber in the upper branch, and
their sponsors have manifested no d'is-
position to press them. That this post-
ponement of the date of final adjourn-
ment is appreciated by the members is
manifest in a cessation of the feverish
anxiety of senators over 'the progress of
their individual measures. which was a
feature of theearly sessions of last
week. So thoroughly was this appre—
ciated that on Friday, with a calendar
of 25 pages of bills awaiting final ac—
tion, the senate adjourned without a
protest after a 40 minute session with
less than six pages of these bills dis-
posed of.

Most important of the bills requiring
consideration by the mayor and local
authorities are the Amsterdam avenue
bill, the rapid transit bill and the New
York city police bills. [The first of these
35' now in condition for final passage,
both houses having accepted the con-
ference committee report, and should
there be a full senate it is likely to be
passed on tonight. This, however, is a
contingency which causes not a little
anxiety to Republican leaders.

Meanwhile there still remain in com-
mittees of the two houses over 600 bills,
but a great majority of them will die
there and consumeno time of the open
session. These bills are being daily add-
ed to in the number introduced in each
house, and there are a sufficient number
of p1 ivate and local bills to occupy any
interim in the discussion of. the more
important measures.

 

German View" of Samoa Troublc.‘

BERLIN, April 10.——The National Zei—
tung, discussing the situationtat Sa-
moa, declares that all changes which
have occurred there since the middle of
March are invalid and that'the condi-
tions established. by the joint proclama~
tion of the consuls on Jan. 4 are still
legally in force. While admitting the
"amicable attitude of the American
.government,” the National Zeitung
says: "‘It must remain undecided for
the present whether Admiral Kautz has
assailed the honor of the German flag.
If. this should prove to have been the
case, we have the fullest confidence in
the ability of the government not only
to keep the actual solution of the Sa-
moan question in view, but also to se-
cure adequate satisfaction for the moral
interests of the German empire.”

RAILROAQ TIED up.

Snban Employees Strike For .More
(Pay—Gold Found In Mutanzus.

HAVANA, April 10.—All railway com-
munication from Havana eastward is
suspended, because the strike of the
200 employees of the United roads af-
fects the provinces of Matanzas and
Santa Clara, as well as the routes to
Guanajay, province of Pinar del Rio,
and to Batabano, on the southern.coa‘st
of Havana. province, where the steam-
ships make their communication with
Havana. No freight, passengers or even
milk could be moved yesterday. Many
people, in ignorance of the situation.
went to the city stations and waited
long in the hope that trains would be
started. The inconvenience resulting is
very' great. It is hoped, however, that
the strike will be settled by the com—
pany acceding to the demand of the
strikers, who. want a re-establishment
of the-wage scale that existed before
the war.

The Cuban generals whoelected Gen-
eral Gomez commander in chief were
to have notified hirrl officially of their
action yesterday. They had not done
so up to 7 o ’clock last evening ,but it is
reported that he is to be u aited upon by
a. committee later. There are so many
contradictory reports as to their inten-
tions and‘doings that the fact of their
accomplishing little or- nothing. is be-
ginning to discredit in'advance‘ what-
ever action they may ultimately take,
which at the best will be merely confer-
ring an honorary distinction, as Gen-
eral Brooke is preparing to handle the
payment of the Cuban army quite inde-
pendeptly of General Gomez.

A soldier at Matanzas yesterday, one
of a squad'cleaning the courtyard of
the castle, found a. Spanish gold piece.
The members of the squad immediately
staked off claims in the western style
and dug up the whole yard, finding
coins dated all the way from 1730 to
1808 and worth $306. '
