A WEAK RESISTANCE Filipinos Desert Their Latestl Capital After Feeble Fight. A FRIENDLY NEWSPAPER IN MANILA. General Otis Reports That Lawton Is“ Driving the Enemy Nortlnvard Into the Mountains and In- flicting Heavy Losses. MANILA, May 18. —General Lawton’s advance guard consisting Of the Thir- teenth Minnesota, Second Oregon and Twenty- -secon_d regular infant1y, under command of Colonel Summers, which took San Isidro, the insurgent capital, yesterday morning, met with little op- position from the enemy. Advancing from Baluarte early in the morning, Colonel Summers’ command, composed of the Second Oregon and Thirteenth Minnesota regiments, which had been re-enforced by the Twenty- second infantry and the First North Dakota, under command of Colonel French, met the enemy two miles south of San Isidro. Scott’s battery shelled the rebels out of their trenches, and the enemy retired to San Isidro, where they were flanked by the American troops. The insurgents made a brief resistance and then broke away, Colonel Summers pursuing them some distance beyond the town. The force of the enemy was estimated at 2,000 men. The insurgent loss w as five killed and 20 wounded, while the Amer- icans had only two men slightly wounded. Major Kobbe, with a special com- mand, comprising the Seventeenth in- fantry, a battalion of the Ninth infan— try, a battery of the First artillery and six mountain guns, accompanied by the army tugs Laguna de Bay. Cavadonga and Oceania towing cascoes loaded with supplies, has moved from Calumpit up the Rio Grande. Twenty-five men of the Sixth infan- try, under command of Lieutenant Hill, who were occupying a concealed trench near Pasay, were attacked by Filipinos. The Americans fired only five individual shots in answer, and this weak reply misled the enemy, who boldly advanced, evidently expecting to capture the en- tire party. When the insurgents had advanced to within 200 yards of the trench, the Americans opened fire upon them with volleys, killing five of the Filipinos and scattering the rest. The gunboat Napidan returned yes- terday from the lake. She is slightly damaged in the stern, having been hit by two cannon shots fired by the insur- gents at Santa Cruz. tThe first number of the newspaper Democracia, published by Filipinos friendly to the Americans, made its ap- pearance yesterday. 13"” Gratifying‘ News From Otis. WASHINGTON. May 18.—The cap- ture of San Isidro by General Lawton has been confirmed in an official dis- patch frd'm General ‘Otisflnd proved "gratifying news to" war department offi~ Jeers. It is evident, they say, that this Filipinos will soon be so completely de- moralized that they will be willing to Sue for peace at any terms. General Otis’ dispatch, dated Manila, May 17, is as follows: “Situation as follows: Lawton, with tact and ability, has covered Bulacan province with his column and driven in- surgent troops northward into San Isi- dro, second insurgent capital, which he captured this morning; is now driving enemy northward into mountains; he has constant fighting, inflicting heavy losses and suffering few casualties; ap~ pearance of his troops on flanks of ene- my behind intrenchments thrown up at every strategic point and town very de- moralizing to insurgents and has given them no opportunity to reconcentrate scattered troops.

WASHINGTON, May 18,—The navy department has just received from Commander Todd of the Wilmington an interesting account of the remarka-' ble voyage of an exploration ;up the Amazon river made by that vessel in April last. The Wilmington was in-' structed by the navy department to push on up the great river and ascer— tain how far it was navigable. Captain Todd reports that’he ascended to Yu- quitos, in Peru, which is about 2,100 miles up the river. This voyage was made, as he says, against an adverse current, averaging’three knots for the entire distance. The Wilmington left Manaos, in Bra- zil, April 5 for the upper river, and ar- rived at Yuquitos on the 13th of April, running day and night, stopping only twice, first to procure fresh _meat for the ship’s company, and again to procure green food for the living animals aboard, for the Wilmington is collect— ing zoological specimens for the Nation- al museum here. The greatest vigilance was required in the upper river naviga~ tion owing to the logs and drift brought down by the flood waters, and the com— mander and executive officer took the night watches themselves. It was soon found that the existing charts were of no value, whole islands disappearing with the change of a season. Not less than seven fathoms of water was found on the way up from Manaos. The upper river ran through a thickly populated country, the character of the people changing from Portuguese and Brazil- ian Indians to Peruvians and Peruvian Indians. EXTRA SESSION CALLED.
