was maintained tlnough the town
from that time on. The soldiers im
mediately began patiolling the streets
'throughout the entire town. Jtlnus
stood about in groups talking, but
there- was no outward manifestation
of excitement, although It was ev ident
that great Indignation existed, espe
cially among the town people, over the
shooting of the citizens and women.
Henry Stevens a ncgio miner, who
has long been considered a leader
among his associates, Is declared to
have been the direct cause of the riot.
Stevens visited tho jail about 9 30
o'clock this morning and wns talking
through the window gratings to sev
eral negro prisoners confined for petty
offenses, when Deputy Sheilff Cheney
approached and told Stevens he was
under at rest, producing a warrant that
had been stunding against him for
some- time. The negro immediately
drew a lovolver and showed fight
The eleputy drew his weapon nnd ad
vanced to take Stevens, who Immedi
ately fired.
The bullet went wild and tho sheriff
opened up with his own weapon, but
without effect. Stevens took to his
heels and succeeded In gaining Pen
well's general store In Locust stieet,
the principal thoroughfare, two blocks
distant, and took his stand In the en
trance He hesitated there an Instant
and then setpp"d to the pavement, lev
elled his revolver down the stieet to
ward his npnroachlng pursuer nnd
filed. The bullet missed the deputy and
sttuek NavW l-coq, u Frenchman,
who was standing In the entrance of
a nearby saloon, squarely In the fore
head, killing him instantly Stevens
then turned and ran Into tho iPenwell
store and sought refuge behind a coun
ter. Rv this time the streets were lap
idly filling with men, nil of whom bore
weapons. Deputy Cheney dashed Into
the store, followed by Deputy Joo JIul
len and several citizens. A fusllade of
bullets was poured Into the store and
Stevens emptied his revolver at his ns
sallants fiom behind the counter. The
Infuriated crowd at tho door continued
thing and Stevens, seeing that de-ath
was inevitable, made a desperate dash
from his cover to a stairway in the

Jlanlla, April 10, 7 p. 111. crenerat
Lawton's command this morning cap-,
tuied Santa Cruz, tho chief city of.
Laguna dt Bay. The American cas
ualties weio six wounded. Tho In
surgent troops wore driven in to moun
tains, leaving sixty-eight dead on tho
Held, a large number wounded and a
cousldciable number weto captured.
Santa Cruz was the Filipinos strong
hold on the Lake Laguna de Bay and
it fell Into the hands or General Law
ton's division after sotno sharp, qulcla
lighting, funning one or the most in
teresting and important battles of the
vv ar.
The plans- of the American com
manded worked perfectly, with thej
exception that tho progress of the ex
pedition vvus delayed by the difficult
navigation ot the river. About l.udii
picked men composed the expedi ion
which was under the personal com
mand of Genetal Lawton, on accouns
of the illiit-hs of General King, Thc-svi
troops partly sunounded tho clt,
while three gunboats under tho com
mand of Captain Grant, of the I.'tah
battery, shelled the city nnd outlying
trenches.
Geneial Lawton and his staff ac
companied the troops, sometimes lead
ing charges with Indian lighting tac
tics, which eventually resulted In tint
complete- rout of the rebels.
Some expedition started from San
Pedio Jluoatl at dusk on Fntm.Uy. In
tending to cupture Santa Cruz bydav
bieak, but owing to the grounding o'
some of the boats, It was noon bcfiio
the wliito 1 hutch towers of the city
uppeared in view. Two hundred pick
ed .sharpshooters under Jlajor Weisen
berger were run into a shallow lnlnc
about five miles south of the clcv.
Then a few- shells wero sent toward
the entrenchments of tho rebel j nt
the edge of the woods, sending the
enemy scampering inland.
Then a number ot Americans jumped
into the water und wading for about .1
hunched yards, crept forward and
ffumrd In line, covering the landing
of the remainder which finlbhcd about
.1 o'clock. The tlneo troops of the
Fourth cavaliv, unmounted, wore- sent
nr.horc on a danaerous marshy point,
eiliectly south of the city, under lire
from the ctu-mj's trench. The town
Itself wps In utter sllenco and not .1
&l?n of life.
The- flotilla then nnchoreJ in c-tn-pact
foi matlon for tho night, ready to
reUst any surprises from the rei I
gunboats supposeel to be in tno lake.
At sunrise today (Jfonday) tho as
sault commenced. The American lltm
advanced tow aid the city pouring vol
leys upon the tiochas. Simultaneously
tho gunboats hoveiecl along the shore)
shelling the woods ahead of the- troop 1
and driving the Filipinos Inland. Thei
Catlings cleared several trenche-.i.
Old-Time Frontier Fashion.
The wholi' brigade was ellvlded inlo
squadn ot 12, and tho fighting was car
lied on in the old time frontier fash
ion trom behind trees, crawling
through bushes or rushing across the
open. The trenches that wero not
clciied by the gunboats gave consid
erable teslstanco when the Una wag
neatlng the city.
General Lawton, with the Fourteenth
Infantry battalions approached a nar
row hon bridge across a creek on tho
south border of tho town. Here a com
pany ot Filipinos was intrenched
across the stream and behind a stona
barricade at the entrance to the bridge.
Tim Americans lushed forward in sin
gle file In the luce of a galling fire,
demolished the barricade with thel?
hands and diove the enemy from tho
tienohes wounding a doen.
The Filipino soldiers in the town,
secreted in various buildings' nnd fir
ing from the windows gave tho lnvad
pit an Interesting hour. There wns a
le-jular nest of them In tho stone Jail
which Is edged In by a wall. This v.-ai
a veritable pepper pot.
The Americans, single or In pairs, en
tered the houses, and many wuwloi.-i
weie taken piisoneis.
A lonsidPiuble body of Filipinos tied
noithwaid, crossing the open marshes,
but the Catlings ponied upon them a
deadly hall until they disappeared in
the woods, slaying eloons. A large
body vvus sent nralnst the enemy in
the woods, driving them toward the
mountains.
General Lawton established lie.ul
quaiteis at the ulegaiu palace of the
governor. Within an hour tho town
was patt oiled and all looting rigidly
prevented
Almost all O.e hihniiltunts had fled
during the two preceding nights, un,l
only a few shopkeepers emerged from
hiding nnd iesumed business. On the
marshes ninth of the town were found
forty dead Filipinos anil many others
wounded, to whom the Americans of
fered their canteens us though thev
were coinrndes. A surgeon who tra
versed the field counted eighty Killed,
and General Lawton will npoit nt least
slNty-elght.
Tomoirow the expedition will push
forward, tho Amcilcaim having de
stroyed miles of telegraph lines, wil
ting off Insurgent communication east
nnd went.
