On approaching Hulacan, a town of 25,000 people, he halted, pre paratory to attacking It. The Americans suffered from the In tense heat, which was 80 degrees on the coast and fully 100 degrees In the interior. But, In spite of the heat, every man was eager to proceed to ward the enemy. detachment of ninety-six Filipino prisoners was escorted Into Manila. Their appearance aroused great Inter eat as they were inarched from the railroad depot to the prison. The rebels have unloaded about five hundred men from a train, half a mile in front of Gen. MacArthur's forces, with the object of reinforcing the Fili pino garrisons at Hulacan and Gul fuintn, on either side of the railroad leading to Malolos. The fact that the railroad is in oper ation from here to our front, greatly facilitates the transportation of sup plies to the troops. Before the break in the road was repaired the transpor tation of supplies was very uncertain. A battalion of the California regi ment, which has been landed at En rique, Island of Negros, has been re ceived with every manifestation of Joy upon the part of the natives. The command of the Island of Negros has been formally transferred from Qen. Miller to Col. Van Valzan, of the Eighteenth Infantry. Spnnlah Steamer Taken' Manila, March 29. The United States gunboat Yorktown has arrived here with the Spanish steamer Mundara, owned by the Mondezona Company, if this place. The steamer was cap tured after a stiff chase In the Gulf of LJngayen, 245 miles north. When she was first sighted the Mun iara was entering the gulf, but she Beaded seaward. The Yorktown fired two shots before the steamer was over hauled. Dewey Wants More Ships. Washington, March 29. Admiral Dewey has asked the Navy Depart ment for more ships and men, and two or more additional vessels may be sent to Manila. Every available offi cer now on shore duty is to be ordered on ship board. The need of a larger naval force In the Philippines is shown by Admiral Dewey's report on the distribution of Ma vessels, which have to be widely scattered on account of the Immense soast line of the Philippines. As the army advances Into the Interior of Luzon, it becomes more important that x sufficient naval force should be main tained In Manila Bay, and that there ihoulil be a considerable force at the naval station at Cavlte. THE FIGHT AT MARILAO. Gen, Otis Reports the llrilllnnt Charge of the South Dakota Troops, Washington, March 29. The follow er dispatch has been received from Gen. Otis: '(Manila, March 28. "Adjutant-General, Washington: "MacArthur had severe fighting be yond Marilao. Brilliant charge by South Dakota, led by Frost, against famed troops of Agulnaldo, brought from Malolos. Repulsed enemy with slaughter. Adjutant Lien and Lleuts. Adams and Morrison and four enlisted men of that regiment killed. Lieut. McClelland and twenty-two enlisted men wounded.

Ahead of the American forces the most serious natural obstacle Is the Bulacan Kiver, which Is In reality an arm of Manila Bay, about a mile wide ind very deep, and reaching straight serosa the path of the advancing' American forces. But to offset this ien. Otls's dispatch of this morning ;onveys the cheering Information that wr small gunboats are in the Bulacan itlver, where great execution was done -esterday, and where they will relieve he pressureonMacArthur's front. This n the Judgment of military authori ses, Is a strategic, move of great ad--antage, as the Bulacan River and the its; elty of Bulacan may be the key to rnenlng easy access to the Insurgent -apltal, lying Just beyond. Bulacan is a city of Importance sec md only to Manila. It is the capital f the province. It Is much larger and itronger than the Insurgent capital, Valeles, and with its broad and deep -tver la 'a sort of gateway to the capi at. Only two small towns, or pueblos, leeave and Taal, lie between our roeps and the river. There Is no doubt ha bridge over the Bulacan Is de itroyed, and this Is probably the bridge o which Gen. Otis refers. It Is felt hat some delay may be occasioned In overcoming so Important a natural ob tacle as the deep, wide river. Once oross it, the city of liuJacan lies to the left. THE SAMPAN TROUBLE. Nee ssltjr of Unanimity Among the Three 1'owern Berlin, March 29. A corespondent here has obtained from the highest au thority at this capital the following explanation of a feature of the Satnuan question which has lately arisen. On the report thnt the American govern ment had cabled to its Admiral at Samoa to act In accordance with the decision of two out of three of the rep resentatives of the Powers, the Ger man government made earnest repre sentation to the American Ambassa dor, here, Mr. Andrew 1). White, that the Berlin Treaty requires the concur rence of the three Powers, nnd called attention to the dangers which were sure to nrlse If there was anything like a violation of the treaty. The American government made a frank and conciliatory answer, which has caused much satisfaction. It recognized the necessity for unanimity upon the part of all three Powers un der the treaty, as a condition of any settled policy or permanent action, and declared the Admiral was only author ized to act In agreement with the ma jority of the representatives of the Powers In a case of emergency which absolutely does not admit of delay, but that In such a case as the ratification or adjustment, the unanimous vote of the three Powers must be Fught at the first possible moment, and no per manent arrangement can be made without such unanimity. The American government, It is an nounced, cabled Its representatives In Samoa to pursue the most friendly and conciliatory policy towards the German representatives and German Interests, carefully avoiding everything likely to be misconstrued or to create ill-will. In consequence of the stories regard ing Mataafa having sanctioned sectar ian tyranny, the German government assured Mr. White that all Its influence would be exerted against interference with the religion of any sect.

Reynolds, at the Grand Hotel, on the night of August 15, 1898, In the Criminal Court Branch of the Supreme Court, before Justice Will iams, Detective-Sergeant Carey iden tified a olece of lead pipe and a piece of an iron rod as having been found by him In the cellar of Kennedy's house at New Dorp, S. I. These ex actly correspond In diameter with the iron rod and lead pipe (the former in serted In the latter) which formed the bludgeon found in the room where the Reynolds woman was killed. Carey testified that he found in the defend ant's cellar a cold-chisel and a vise, to which small pieces of lead adhered. The teeth of this vise exactly fitted some indentations in the leaden bludgeon. A clerk testified to selling Kennedy a straw hat Identical with the one found in the murdered woman's room. Tammany Wi)l Fight. New York, March 29. There Is dan ger that the hundreds of officeholders who lost their positions when Tam many came Into power will be unduly elated over the action of Supreme Court Justice Scott In ordering the reinstatement of six men discharged by Fire Commissioner Scannell, Char ity Commissioner Keller and Water Commissioner Dalton. It was stated at the office of the Corporation Counsel to-day that in stead of several hundred men being affected by the decision, there were only twenty. Of these the Corporation Counsel admitted six should be rein stated. The cases of the other four teen will be brought to the courts. The six referred to all come within the find ing of the Court of Appeals In the Fleming case, which really had nothing to do with the question of the submis sion of the rules of the local Civil Ser vice Commission to the State Board. 50,01)0,000 Added to lis Capital Stock.

The Metropolitan Street Railway Co. Offers to Disc a Tunnel. OFFER TAKEN SERIOUSLY Frnpnsed to Rim front the ttntlery te Klnitli il;e and Transfer to the Surface Line W nuts a I'erpetiinl flintier and Will I'.ty I lvo Per Cent of the Gross I Iter ipts When It mil Is raying. New York. March 29. The metropo lis Is considerably stirred up by the offer made to the Hapld Transit Commission by the Metropolitan Street Hallway Company, present owners of the Broadway und Second Avenue lines, to build an underground railway the length of Manhattan Inland, and to run the same us a rapid transit road. Senator Stranahan will some time this week offer at Albany amendments to the Hapld Transit act which will give the New York City Hopld Transit Commissioners authority to accept a proposition for the build ing of the underground railway by a new coporatlon to be known as the Tunnel Company. This com pany is to be formed by large stock holders In the Metropolitan Street Hallway Company. The entire route to Klngsbrldge would begin with two tracks at the Battery up to the end of Elm street, and then four tracks up Fourth avenue to Forty-second street, to Broadway, to 104th street. At this point, in the Hapld Transit Conv mlssloners' plans, the four tracks 1 separate, two going up Eleventh ave nue to Klngsbrldge, and two turning east, running under Lenox avenue and across the Harlem at 138th street, thence on elevated tracks, skirting Bronx Park to the city line. Should the offer be accepted the Tunnel Company will begin work with in three months on the main route from the Battery to 104th street, and complete the main line and the Kings bridge route from 104th street north within three years. The company say that when the West Side or Kings bridge route is paying S per cent, upon the actual cost of construction and equipment they will Immediately begin work on the East Side section and complete it within two years. The Hapld Transit Commission Is to deter mine when the 5 per cent. Is earned. The 6 per cent, of cost in construction and equipment is to include the cost of all private property purchased for connections and stations, together with a fair proportion of the cost of any power holme, machinery or other plant constructed or acquired for the Joint use of the Tunnel Company and the Metropolitan Street Railway Company. Any differences of opinion as to cost arising between the Tunnel Company and the city of New York is to be set tled by three arbitrators, one repre senting the Tunnel Company, one for the Rapid Transit Commission and the third to be selected by the two first named. It Is provided that the Tunnel Com pany may lease the road In perpetuity to the Metropolitan Company. The lat ter company shall have the right to run its present surfuce cars into the tunnels from any of Its routes, so that continuous car passage, as well as a transfer system, may be provided. So that this may be done, the Metropoli- tan Company may provide stations east and west in the city, where trans- fers will be good for continuous track connections over surface routes and thence on the underground route northwest or northeast. The Tunnel Company asks that It shall have free of cost, other than its franchise tax, the exclusive subway rights In all the tunnels for Its own use or for rental. It also asks that the city give It free of cost adequate station room under City Hall Park and at the Junction of Broadway with Sev enth, Eighth, Columbus and Amster dam avenues. Finally the company asks that its real and personal prop erty forming part of the railway routes shall be exempt from taxes until it has paid 6 per cent, on the cost of con struction and equipment. For the privileges named above the company offers to do many notable things. It agrees that each year the city shall receive 5 per cent, of the gross receipts from the operation of the underground route, this 5 per cent- 'ZX''.""" are the operating expenses and the 5 per cent, on the cost of building. The earnings of the road are to be ascer tained by taking all the fares received by the separate business of the road and by an equal division of the Joint business between the Metropolitan surface lines and the underground road. The company further offers to run trains for two miles below Forty-second street at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, nnd nowhere below Ninety-sixth street nt a less rate than twenty miles an hour. It will carry passengers from the Battery to Kings bridge in thirty-five minutes. The company is to charge 10 cents fare on the express trulns, which will Include free transfer to any surface line operated by the Metropolitan Company. On the non-express trains the fair will be 5 cents, and a trans fer to Metropolitan cars will be pro vided for 3 cents additional. Similar ly a passenger on a Metropolitan sur face car, having paid 6 cents, will ob tain transportation on the Ropld Transit route, except express trains, for 3 cents additional.

Mayor Van Wyck, In accordance with resolutions passed by the Municipal Assembly, will appoint a committee of at least one hundred representative citizens, who will plan for a reception to the t'nlted States steamship Raleigh and her nfll cers and crew when she arrives here from Manila. The resolutions, which were offered by Alderman McCall, are as follows: "Whereas, the victory of that ster ling American sailor, Admiral George Dewey, at Manila, on May 1. 1S98, sent a thrill of patriotic pride through the American heart and was a further earnest that the American Navy of the present day Is amply able to preserve the laurels won In earlier wars by Jones, Barry, Lawrence, Decatur, Hull, Perry. Stockton and Forragut; and "Whereas, The U. 8. S. Halelgh, one of the lighting cruisers that partici pated In tlu; magnificent victory over Montojo's fleet in Asiatic waters. Is the first vessel to return and Is rapidly ap proaching New York city, the great metropolis of the American Nation, and a fitting and appropriate welcome should be given to Capt. J. B.

Robert A. Van Wyck, Mayor of this city, to appoint such committee or committees as in his opinion shall be deemed appropriate to extend a cordial and fitting welcome to the Raleigh, her commander, officers and crew, and to take such further action as may be essential to make said re- ceptlon a matter of civic pride to this commonwealth of Greater New York." Editor Taylor of lloston Globe Sued. Boston, March 29. James C. Jordan, eldest son of the lnte Eben D. Jordan of the firm of Jordan, Marsh Co., has brought suit In the United States Circuit Court here against Gen. Charles H. Taylor and against Gen. Taylor. Eben D. Jordan, Jr., and Henry O. Nichols, executors and trus tees under the will of Eben D. Jordan, who died on Nov. 15, 1895. It Is well known that when Gen. Tay lor assumed control of the Globe. In the early eighties, Eben D. Jordan, Sr., furnished nearly all the capital to make the paper successful and became Its largest stockholder. James C. Jor dan says In his bill of equity that soon after his father's death certain shares of the Globe Newspaper Company were sold by the executors of the estate Taylor, Jordan and Nichols to one of themselves, Gen. Taylor. He alleges that this transfer of stock was illegal, and asks that the transfer be declared Invalid, nnd also that Gen. Taylor should render to the executors an ac count of the proceeds from the stock since its transfer to him. Illennlal Sessions Killed In New York. Albany, March 29. A motion to take the biennial sessions amendment reso lution from the table was defeated yes terday by a vote of 25 ayes to 24 noes, the motion being declared lost, in ac cordance with an agreement made last week that unless the supporters of the amendment mustered twenty-six votes, a majority of the Senate, It would be regarded as lost for this session. Those who voted for Mr. Ellsworth's motion were twenty-four Republicans and i one Democrat (Mr, McCarren of Democrats and ! Kings). Twenty-one three Republicans (Malby, Brackett and Willis) voted against the motion. Senator Graney would have voted with them if he had been present, making the vote a tie. This action kills the biennial sessions amendment. If it la ever brought up again It will have to pass two successive Legislatures. Life ANMesnment Era Ended. Boston, March 29. The House has ', passed to be engrossed without any de I bate the bill for the purpose of putting an end to the assessment life-insurance companies In Massachusetts by letting them into the field of the old line companies "by the back door," as ' it was put by one of the assessment ', officials before the committee at one of the hearings. The bill Is known as the Dewey bill, from the member of that name from Westfleld, who had most to do with It, though It Is under , stood that some of the ideas are those of Commissioner Cutting himself. The if" has completed the passage of both Senate and House without a word of debate, and there is no reason to doubt that Gov. Woli'ott will sign it. Therefore the end has come of assess ment life insurance In Massachusetts, after it had nourished for about thirty years. Assessment Association In Connecticut New Haven, March 29. The annual report of Commissioner of Insurance Betts, part second, on life, accident, fidelity, and surety companies, Is out. The Commissioner renews his severe criticisms of the assessment associa tions In whose large decrease of out standing Insurance from $730,751,118 to $6(i6.3L0.J9 he sees signs of "early dis integration." He disapproves of the "stipulated premium" plan of relief for such companies ns a "half-way meas ure," and as meaning a condition of affairs as bad, if not worse, than the original one. He predicts as probable much Buffering and loss from lapses by the older policy-holders. The large gain by the old-line companies is largely due, he says, to the rise of se curities In the market, and he notes with approval the setting nslde by those corporations of large amounts to provide against the reduction of the rate of Interest.
