Must of the Americana are becoming
anrtnced that the backbone of the In
Ment opiHisition is broken. There
"
numerous rumors pointing to tin
early
mjlanw of the insurrection. One of I
these is that General l'io del Pilar, the
!st tighter UBOOg the Filipino Officer,
uill desert Agiiinuldo and (ire his sun
port to the Americans.
A priest and two members of the so
called Filipino congress who hid thom
.oives during the fighting which precede I
tbr capture of Malolos returned them
usterday and declared that 'J.O00 of the
PUipino soldiers were anxious to give nil

and that It would require a long time
for him to gather the ends of his scat
tered and dismayed army into an ef
fective force.
The fields nnd woods about Malolos
arc dotted with the white flags of thoao
who seek proteetion in the American
lines.
Although the natives are being per
mitted to enter the linen in large nuro
liers, General MacArthur Is keeping
strict watch of them to prevent a trench'
ernns outbreak.
The remarkable stories of Filipino vic
tories, of the annihilation of whole
divisions of the American army and
other such monstrous fabrications are
having their effect upon the natives no
less tnan tne American snot ana sneii.
Aguinaldo's stories have proved to lie
m false that many of those who were
his blindest partisans have lest all faith
in the wily leader.
It is a prevailing belief among the
Americans that the strength of the In
surrection hns been exhausted and that
the so-called Filipino government will
collapse within a short time.
The situation in the Philippines is now
dearly in American hands. The Phil
ippine commission has decided immedi
ately to issue a proclamation to the na
tives. It will not contain a single word
suggestive of independence for the Fli
piuos, but will compel their complete
subjection to the will of the United
States.
There has been no little good naturel
rivalry as to which regiment the First
Montana or the Twentieth Kansas is
entitled to the honor of having raised
its flag first in Malolos. Colonel Funs
ton and 20 men of Company E, Kansas
volunteers, claim the distinction, on the
ground, as alrendy cabled, of having en
tered the town at double quick and raised
the company's Hag, but the first flag to
lie recognized officially was that of Com
pany G, of the Montana infantry.
Major General MacArthur's troops
entered Malolos. the seat of the so
called insurgent government, last Friday
morning. It is evident that the rebels
tor some time past had abandoned
all hope of holding their capital, for
the Americans found there evidences of
elaborate preparations for evacuation.
On the railroad the rails and ties for
about a mile had been torn up and prob
ably thrown into the river. The only
prisoners captured were a few Chinamen.
They said that Aguinaldo left Malolos I
od Wednesday.
The principal citizens of Maloloi, their
f I III till and goods had been taken into j
the country over the railroad, while j
others departed on foot, carrying their
postessiona and driving their cattle and
other animals before them. Most of the j
rebel forces were removed Thursday
evening to positions east of the rail-
road, leaving only some small bands in :
the strong trenches in front of Malolos.
The only effective stand made by the j
rebels was at a bamboo and earthen
work, half a mile from Malolos and on I
the rights where the Nebraska regiment, I
as was the cose on Thursday, had the ',
hardest work and Buffered the greatest I
loss.
Colonel Funston, always nt the front, ,
was the first man in Malolos, followed
by a group of dashing Kansans.
The Filipino flag, which was flying ',
from the center of the town, was hauled
down by some of the men of the Mon-
tana regiment, who triumphantly raised
their own above it.
From the columns of smoke arising
from the city it seemed as if the whole 1
place was ablate. It turned out. how-
ver, that only the rresidencla, the gov-1
ernment building, and a few of the
smaller buildings had been set on firei
by the rebels before they evacuated the
place.
The Pope Has Another Fainting Fit.
London, April 4. According to a dis
patch to The Daily Telegraph from
Rome the pope had a fainting fit yester
day which proved of the gravest char
aster. Everv effort is being made by
Cardinal Rampolla, papal secretary t f
state, to conceal the real condition of
the supreme pontiff, his object being
to prevent the powers from working for
the next conclave.

youth. Queen Wilhelmlna tins taken a
sentimental view of her own marriage,
and has most strongly emphasized the
fact that she would not have a husband
assigned to her merely for reasons of
state. But, after all. the list of avail
able partners for a queen, and such a
queen, was not a long one. She could
not make her choice among Roman Cath
olic princes and those of the Creek
church, for she must marry n Protest
ant; she could not consider direct heirs
to principalities or kingdoms, for they
lire ineligible. Those who claim to
know say that this was an affair of love

as happy as that of Queen Victoria and

Wire Killed Her llrutnl Husband.
Chicago, April 4. Before his two chil
dren, aged 6 and 4 years, Joseph Brown
was stabbed to death yesterday by his
wife, Clara. The murder was the out
come of n family quarrel. Brown hail
beaten and kicked his wife and threat
ened to kill her with a butcher knife
that was lying on the table. When
Brown made a move toward the knife
Mrs. Brown snatched the knife herself.
Brown raised his foot and kicked her,
but in falling she lunged forward with
the knife, striking him fairly in the
stomach. Maddened with fury and pain
the two battled bnck and forth, the hus
band kicking and striking and the wife
plunging the knife into her husband
until at the fifth blow he fell backward
dead.
Mlctitwin Iron Miners on RtrlKe.
Marntiette, Mich., April 4. The iron
mining companies of Isbpeming and Xe-,
gaunee issued bulletins yesterday after
noon sayiug they would begin hiring men
this moning, but union men who partlc-1
ipated in the demonstrations Saturday
to force non-unionists into the union
will not be hired. This precipitates the
threstcned strike of the Marquette i
range, involving 2,000 men, but not over
thousand are expected to resist the
companies. The men want the compa
ajaj to reeogniie their union. The ques- I
tion of wages is secondary. An injunc
tion was secured at Marquette yester-
j day
which prevents the unionists from
entering the shafts or otherwise Intim
idating the men or interfering with their

In Toledo the large registration was

I 40 persons belonging to the Stella. An
other steamer lias picked up a bout con-
! tabling .r'."i persons, including 20 wo

The scene nt the moment of the sink
ing of the Vessel was heartrending.
Women were screaming and praying and
people were clinging I" spars and other
wreckage in nil directions, Those who
had succeeded in getting into the bonis
had a narrow escape from being engulfed
on account of the suction caused hv the
sinking vessel.
The voice of Captain Rooks, from th"
bridge, was frequently heard urging liie
rowers to pull fi !' their lives.
The boats were ndrlfl for 13 hour,
durini: which their occupants were will.
OUt food or water, and as their clothes
were drenched they suffered greatlv.
Many most pathetic incidents are re
ported. In several ' cases men lifted
their wives and children into the boat
and then perished themselves iu their
presence. One wife, who was thus be
reft, lost her reason.
A large number of the survivors ar
rived here without any clothing, clad
only in blankets.
The disaster is generally attributed to
the high siced at which the steami r
was traveling in the fog.
Other a counts say 'bat Captain
Bonks supposed the fog was merely 'n
bnnks, as is the usual experience, mid
decided to run through it, but as It be
came continually denser be Inst his

When the Stella struck there was s
terrible sensation, a noise of metal and
woodwork being torn bodily away, the
vessel passing over the jagged rocks at
full speed and her side being ripped opi II
like matchwood. When Mio slid off the
rock she tinned completely over, carry
ing a lot of people with her.
