Manila, April 11. General Lawton j has captured Santa Crus, at the ex- ireme end of the lake. He drove the rebels, who were commanded by n Chinaman named Pao-Wah. Into the mountain!. The Americans had one ; nian killed and six wounded. Santa Cruz was the Filipinos' strong hold on Lake Laguna do bay, and it (ell into the h.imlB of General bawtbn'4 i expoilition after some sharp, quick lighting, forming one of the most in-I terestlng an important battles of the 1 The plans of the American com- mam'.ers worked perfectly, with the exception that the progress of the ex pedition was delayed by the difficult nav igation of the river. About 1,500 pick- til men composed tne expedition, i which was under the personal com mand of General Lawton. on account o the Illness of General King. The expedition started from San I Pedro Macnti ut dusk on Snturday, in tending to capture Santa Cruz by as- j sault nt daybreak. But in navigatim: the shallow, tortuous Paslg river, perhaps through the cunning of the native pilots, who were not anxious to He the Americans successiul, several boats grounded, and it was nearly j dawn when tne troops reached the like. The expedition then steamed ! cautiously forward, the Napidan and the Oeste a mile nhead and the Laguna j de Bay guarding the rear. A casco, with a force of 200 picked 1 fharpshooters. under Major velsen bsrger, mostly belonging to the Firs: Washington regiment, was run into a shallow inlet about five miles south Of the city. Then a few shells were sent toward j the entrenchments of the rebels at the edge of the woods, sending the enemy scampering inland. Then a number of Americans Jump ed Into the water and, wading for about a hundred yards, crept forward and formed in line, covering the land ing of the remainder, which finished about 5 o'clock. The three troops of the Fourth cav alry, unmounted, were sent ashore on a dangerous marshy point, directly south of the city, under Are from the enemy's trench. Meanwhile in the town Itself there was utter silence, and not a sign of life. General Lawton, desiring to make an inspection and to give the inhabitants an opportunity to sur render, went on board the Laguna de Bay and, accompanied by the news paper launch, steamed slowly to the dock, the whole fleet watching anx iously. When it was discovered by the glasses that the trenches and stone buildings were swarming with white clad soldiers the two boats withdrew, receiving volleys from the trenchca thrown up on the marshy plain north of the city. The flotilla anchored In compact for mation for the night, ready to resist any surprises from the rebel gunboats supposed to be in the lake. At sun rise yesterday the assault commenced. The American line south of the city stretched two miles inland, and with its left sweeping the shore it moved north, while the cavalrymen on the point advanced towards the city, pour ing volleys upon the trenches. Simul taneously the gunboats hovered along the shore, shelling the woods ahead of the troops and driving the Filipinos in land. The gatlings cleared several trenches. The whole brigade was divided into I squads of 12, and the fighting was car ried on in the old time frontier fashion, from behind, trees, crawling through bushes or rushing across the open. I The trencheB that were not cleared by the gunboats gave considerable re- Isistance when the line was nearlng the city, and the Laguna de Bay and the Oeste bombarded for an hour in the hope of making them too warm for oc cupancy, but did not succeed in clear ing them entirely. General Lawton, with the Fourteenth I infantry battalions, approached a nar- Irow iron bridge across the creek on the south border of the town. Here a company of Filipinos was intrenched across the stream and behind a stone barricade at the entrance to the bridge. The Americans rushed forward in sin- I ffle file, demolished the barricade with their hands and drove the enemy Ifroin the trenches, killing a dozen. The Filipino soldiers in the town, Iseeroted In various buildings and firing I from the windows, gave the Invaders I fin interesting hour. There was a reg ular nest of them In the stone Jail, which is edged In by a wall. This was I a veritable pepperpot. The Americans, singly or In pairs, entered the houses, and many war Irlors were taken prisoners. A considerable body of Filipinos lied northward, crossing the open marshes, hut the gatlings poured upon them a deadly hail until they disappeared in the woods, leaving dozens of dead be nind. Major Weisenborger deployed the sharpshooters along the shore, and they crept steadily forward, aiding the eat I lugs. Finally a large body was rent against the enemy in the woods, driving them toward the mountains. General Lawton established head quarters at the elegant palace of the governor and a guard was immedi ately placed in the church, as the sa cred edifices are always the first ob jective of looters. Within an hour the town was patrolled and all looting rigidly prevented. Almost all the inhabitants had fled during the two preceding nights, and only a few Chinese shopkeepers have emerged from hiding and resumed business. On the marshes on the north of the town were found 40 dead Filipinos some terribly torn by shells and many others wounded, to whom the Americans offered their canteens as though they were comrades. A sur geon who traversed the held counted Port at least 68. EXJUSTKE field dead. Ills Servtes the Lonsrct In the Su preme Court's History. Washington, April 10. Justice Ste- I pben j.

April 11. Bx-United States Senator Matthew S. Uuav ami his son, Richard B. Quay, were called 1 to the bar of the court of quarter sea- ; slons yesterday, and the trial of the two defendants was beun. Judge i Craig Blddle was the trial Judge. DIs- trict Attorney Bothermel, after over two hours hnd been spent in selecting a Jury, elected to try the ex-senator first on thRt one of the five indict ments in which he and his son are va riously named, which charges Mr. Quay and the late ex-State Treasurer Benjamin J. Haywood with conspira cy in using the state funds for their personal benefit and profit, and in a manner unauthorized by law. Thi.-i action practically leaves the ex-seuutor alone on trial. Beyond the selection of a Jury and the examination of one witness, Thomas J. Barlow, receiver of the Peo ple's bank, nothing was done yester day. The only witness examined, Mr. Bar low, led to the first clash between counsel, and apparently Indicated that a determined legal battle, replete with knotty points of law, will be fought in the trial of the cause. The district attorney called Mr. Barlow to Identify books and papers found by him when he assumed the receivership. Mr. Shapley undertook to cross-examine the witness with respect to his knowl edge of whether certain books, which the defense it is understood claims Is missing, are included in those testi fied to by the witness. This was ob jected to. a'nd after repeated efforts to obtuln an answer to the question In another form It was abandoned, and Mr. Shapley said ho would begin his cross-examination this morning.

I When the firemen arrived they saw it was impossible to try and gain an entrance to the Andrews home by the front door, and they then made au at tempt through the Rothschilds house, No. 4. Firemen Charles Pay, George Jacobs; and John H. Corr went up together. They managed to get In the rear rooms of the third floor and found Mrs. St. j John nnd her 3-yenr-old son. Wallace, Unconscious on the floor, their night clothes almost burned off. They were l quickly taken Into the Rothschilds house. Mrs. St. John died within i few minutes. Her Child died in the fireman's arms. The firemen made re- ( peated attempts to get into the other rooms, but they might as well have at-1 tacked a furnace. Aside from Mrs. St. John the only other persons who got out of the house alive wore Jennie Burns and Alice j White, who appeared at upper Win dows. Before the firemen could raise , ladders to rescue them the women in their frenzy climbed out upon the sills and stood, as if determining on which was" the worst fate, to be burned to ' death or to Jump to death. The Burns girl climbed out of a four story window and stared with , mouth wide open at the knot of men below. At practically the same mo ment Alice White climbed out upon the Bill of an udjolnlng window, on tho fourth floor. The firemen cried to the women not to Jump, but the women were past heeding warning. Smoke waa curling above their heads and the next instant Jennie Burns leaped out. She turned over and over and fell al- , most directly upon her head. Hei skull was fractured in several places and she was hurried to the Presby terlan hospital. The other woman, when she saw the fate of her friend, ! hesitated for a moment; then, as the moke thickened, she too jumped. She ; fell upon a rear extension of the build ing and was picked up unconscious and severely injured. She was also hur- I rled to the hospital At the Adams house Policeman Wag ner made a heroic rescue of Nellie Quinn, a servant. Held by the legs by two other policemen, he swung head downward and caught the girl, who was In Imminent danger of death, and the two were pulled in to a place of safety. Threatening letters received by the Andrews family lead the police to be lieve that the house was fired for re venge by a former servant, and a quiet investigation is proceeding.
