Last Stand at Malolos.
Manila, March 279.15 a. m. The Filipinos are burning their
stronghold at Malabon ami their forces are fleeing from the city in the
direction of Malolos. General MacArthur's division is pushing toward
M.ilabon. The insurgents will make their last stand probably at Malolos.
Manila. March 2(5. 7.X0 p. m. The
t'nlted States Hoops, under Hiigndler
G.-iicral Lloyd Wheaton, captured the
town of Mnliiitn, beyond the Tulluhan
river, today after a sharp light. Cot'
onel Harry C. Hubert, of the Twenty
second regular infantry, was killed.
Prince Loi-wenstcin. formerly nlde-do-e-nmp
on the stR.IT of Hrlgadler General
Mllb r at Hollo, somehow pot In front
of the Urine line and was shot In the
sbb, dying almost Instantly. A Ger
man who aecompai led him was wound
ed. The American casualties today were
much lighter than thos-e of yesterday,
tin- t"tal losses thus far reported since
the engagement commenced being 4!
kllle.i and 115 wounded.
General Wheaton entered Mnllnta,
whi'h Is a small village of huts, at 1
oMml: this afternoon. The PnlP'-d
States gunhout Helena and other gun
boats have been shelling Malabnn.about
a mile northwest of Cnloncnn, for sev
eral hours.
The insue gents made a llerce resist
ance to the American advance up the
railroad at Malinta. In addition to the
fatal wounding of Colonel Kgbert, sov
eral men of the Twenty-second Infantry
nnd several of the Oregon and Kansas
regiments were killed.
Evidently anticipating a bombard
ment by the fleet, a thousand rebels
vacated Malabon last night, leaving a
few to burn the town.
General Wheaton's brigade, composed
or the Second Oregon regiment and the
Twenty-second and Third Infantry,
stretched out along the railroad from
Caloocan to the Tuliahnn river, was
powetless to prevent the withdrawal,
ovlng to the natural obstacles and to
the strong opposition. A column of
smoke nt daybreak was the first inti
mation of the enemy's Intentions, but
others followed nt various points, nil
soon blending In a dense hallno'n
shaped cloud. The llames of the burn
ing rice mills and laige buildings could
be plainly seen from Caloocan. despite1
the strong sun light.
By 11 o'clock In the morning the only
building of Importuned not destroyed
In the center of the town was a large,
stone church, but even at noon fresh
flres were started among the native
huts In the outskirts or Malabon. al
though the general exodus took place
much earlier. Many of the rebels
sought refuge In t-lie suburbs Nuvotns
and Casag, or were driven Inland by
the shells of the Helena. Callao, Xlg
dopan and Lngtinu de Hay.
Wheaton Held in Check.
In the meantime General Wheaton's
brigade held the railroad to the river,
but was unable either to repair th)
'Idge. which had been destroyed by
the enemy on the advance, owing to
the opposition and the hills on the
other side.
The calculations of both General
Hale and General Harrison Gray Otis,
whose brigade constitute General Mr
Arthur's division, were much Interfered
with by the character of the country
In front of both and the enemy was
able I., take advantage ol this, so that
the operations against Novnllches and
Polo were delayed, though the right
wing of the division swung out, sweep.
Infr the enemy in a northwesterly direc
tion. General Wheaton's headquarters last
night were about half a mile south
it the river, on the railroad. The op
posite bank was protected by a block
nouse and intreiichments. Occasion
ally the nrtillery and infantry fired
across tho stream. Finally the engi
neers moved a construction train up
to the bridge, the Iron trainuwork -if
Iilcli remained and began to replace
th floor. While this was going on.
tin S-cond Oregon regiment crossed
he rlvor on tho left nnd the Twentv
I'cond regiment mi the right, with
tour coniiaultis of tho Twoiity-thlul
Infantry supporting the latter regiment.
Arising, clear ground stretched away .1
distance of half a mile to Malinta,
situated on its ciest.
In front of the village were -strong
Filipino Intrenchments, but no Fili
pinos were to be seen. Apparently
they had tied.
The Twenty-second regiment ap
proached diagonally, with General
Wheaton and his staff close behind
nnd scouts closely observed the ground.
When tho Americans were within
about three hundred yards of the ln-trent-hments.
the Filipinos suddenly
volleyed heavily.
The TvM'Ht.v-s'econd, which was hold
ing the centre, suffered considerably,
but with the Oregons on the left and
the Kansans on the right In the woods,
the lighting was k"pt up for half an
hour, the Twenty-second Infantry ad
vancing up the slope, through the thick
grass under the hottest tire.
Col. Egbert's Death.
General Wheaton and his s---tn ff Were
all the time under n rain of bullets-.
Colonel Egbert, who was In the thick
est of the lighting, was shot in the ab
domen. He was placed op a stretcher
and an attempt was made to carry
hlni to the car.. but he died on the
way.
tt was it most fti'fi ctiiiR scenf. Gen
eral Whtaton, baring his head, said:
"You linv" done nobly" Colonel Kg-
bert gasped In reply: "I must die. I
am too old."
Xo Filipinos w re found in the
trenches. Though apparently their
force wis much smaller than that of
tie1 Americans, they had an Immense
advantage in position and in opportu
nity to retivat. General MacArthur's
advance guard, the- Third nrtillery and
the Twentieth Kansas regiment, lolned
General Wheaton's brigade shortly af
ter Manl'a. was taken, approaching
along the Xovallches road westerly.
Tlu soldiers were much rxhausted,
and then- were several proftratlons
fiom the heat which was Intense. The
dead and wounded were collected In
tin shade of trees und carried on
stir tellers by Chtiu se ticrot's the river
to the trains. After lunch General
MacArthur's division advaiu-d toward
Polo.
The Si coin Oregon regiment encount
ered n thousand Filipinos west of Mal
inta, who were retreating fiom Mala
bon. The em my had taken up a posi
tion behind fi.ur rows of Intrenchmentc,
but was driven out after an hour's fir
ing. ne Oregonlan was killed and fly,,
wore wounded.
The Third nrtillery, acting, as infant
ry, with two guns of the Utah ar
tillery, nnd the Kansans. had a arp
ngiu ent or .viannta. The a .Vrienns
had but slight loss. Five Filipinos were
found dead nnd several were taken
prisoner.1-.
General Mac-Arthur's division is ad
vancing upon Polo along tho railroad.
As the biidge Is destroyed and the river
cannot be forded the advance Is tein
poratlly checked tcnlght
In the lighting wtst of Malinta, the
Oregonluns captured a Spaniard, hut

A Mysterious Personage
The death of Prince Ludwlg Karl
Loewensteln-Werhelm in yesterday'
lighting ends a career which, of late,
has seemed nivsterious and given rise
to no little speculation. According to
a dispatch from London to the Asso
ciated Picas on March 4, tho prince,
who married Lady Anno Savllle. u
daughter of the Earl of Mexborough,
had been lost sight of by Ills friends
and an advertisement Inquiring as to
his whereabouts had apepared In th
London newspapein, This ellcltod a
dispatch from Manila saying thtt the
t
FW
A
missing piirco was In the Philippines,
had been there for many months, was
present at the destruction of Montejo's
Meet and was a member of the Euro
pean eltlb. The dispatch asserted also
that his behavior had given rise to a
suspicion that he was acting as the
confidential agent of the German gov
ernment. It was further alleged that
before Manila suire dered he was al
lowed to pass In and out of the Span
ish and li sin-gent lines, each party ap
I'lfi ntlj Hoarding him as favorable to
tlieiiifielv) s. For a few days, it uim
on asset trd, he acted as a voluntary
alilede-camii on the staff of Brigadier
General Miller.
The Loud -i Daily Mall about tho
same time said If had Information that
Prlnre Ludwig was In Hollo In January
of this year, and with other papers, It
asked the meaning of these "mysteri
ous movements."
General Otis' Dispatch.
Washington, March 2(1. The war de

ing: "Manila, March 26.

ited Morro Castle, never having ex

to the discovery of the remains of it
Spanish olllcer In un arm chair on the
b'ach west of El Morro. the admiral
i'xprii'sid his opinion that they wcro
certainly the remains of Admiral Villa
mil. Five more bandits have been cap
tured and two others killed.
The citizens ext.ress satisfaction at '
the crmtinv, .f Mntntnnnio nnrt Tpilpnll I
well known brigands, and It is thought
that, with their capture, the back
bone of biigandngo In this district Is
broken.
Colonel Juan Vlnn, the new chief of
gentlai merie-, Is showing much more
energy than was displayed by his pre
decessor, Colonel Francisco Vallente.
Indeed, tho recent captures are duo to
his zeal, and b" believes that little,
