the Capture of Santa

THE FILIPINOS DRIVEN
OUT.
- f
Some Sharp Fighting Americans Had Six
Men Wonnded-Slxty-elght manr
gents KUled and Many Wounded
and Captured.
By Cable to the Mornlnir Star.
Manila, April 10. GeneralLawton
has captured Santa Cruz, at tne ex
treme end of the lake. : He drove the
rebels, who were commanded by a
Chinaman named Pao wan, raw hi
mountains. The Americans had six
men wounded. The rebels lost sixiy-
eight men killed and had forty men
wounded. ' :.
The expedition, consisting of about
1 500 men, commanded oy ctenerai
Lawton, left San Pedro Macati, on the,
river Pasig, last Saturday mght, with
the purpose" of crossing Laguna de
Bay, and capturing the town of Santa
Cruz, on the eastern shore of the lake.
The American troops were uwa,
planned, to sweep the country Vf
south. The force consisted of 00 picked
sharpshooters from various regiments,
Hawthorne's mountain battery.
Gates' squadron and three troops of
the Fourth Nevada cavalry, un
mounted, Brooke's and Tappen's bat
talions of the Fourth infantry, Linck a
battalion of the Fjnst Idaho miantry
and Frane's battaUon or the H irst

containing General Lawton and Gen
eral KiBg. moved towards the lake just
as evemng was setting in. xi. was
truly Dieturesaue scene. The men
carried rations for ten days, with the
lightest marching equipment.
Gen. Lawton'a Plan.
General Lawton's plan was to reach
Santa Cruz on Sunday morningAt day
break, to capture or destroy any reoei
gunboats or shipping; to take the
town, and then to scour tft6 country to
the south of the lake, a - district not
yet explored by the Americans.
At 7 o'cIock r. M. eanta uruz ieu
into the hands of General Liawtons
expedition, - after some sharp, quick
lighting, forming one or tne mosi in
teresting and important battles of the
war.
The plans of the American com
mander worked perfectly, with the ex
ception that the progress of the expe
dition was delayed by the difficult nav
igation of the river. '
Jttebel signal hres were ugntea on
the mountain tops, giving warning of
the approach of the troops.
It was noon before the white enurcn
towers of the city appeared in the
shadow of the great volcanic mountain
on a marshy plain dotted with occa
sional palm groves.'
Some Sharp Fighting.
A casco with a force of two hundred
picked sharpshooters, under Major
Weisenberger, mostly belonging to trie
First Washington, waa run into a
shallow inlet, about five miles south
of the city. ,
A few she 'Is were then sent toward
the entrenchments of the rebels at the
edge of the woods, sending the enemy
scampering inland. Then ' a number
of Americans jumped into the water,
and wading for about a hundred yards,
crept forward and formed in line, cov
ering the landing of the remainder,
which was mushed about 5 o clock.
The three troops of the Fourth cav
alry, unmounted, were gent
ashore on- a dangerous marshy
point, directly south of the city
under tire from the . enemy's
trenches. While in the , town itself'
there waa utter silence and not a sign
of life, General Lawton. desiring to
make an inspection and to give the in
habitants an opportunity to surrender,
and accompanied by the . Associated
Press launch, steamed slowly to the
dock, the whole fleet watching anx
iously. When it waa discovered by
the glasses that the trenches and stone
buildings were swarming with white-
clad soldiers, the two boats withdrew,
receiving volleys from the trenches
thrown up on the marshy plain north
of the city.
The notilla anchored in compact for
mation for the night, ready to resist
any surprises from the rebel gunboats
supposed to be in the lake.
Assault on the City.
At sunrise to-day (Monday) the as
sault commenced. The American
line south of the city, stretched two
miles inland. With its left sweepine
the shore, it moved north, while the
Fourth cavalry oiwthe point advanced
toward the city, pouring volleys into
the trenches. Simultaneously the
gunooats noverea along the shore,
shelling the woods ahead of the troops
and driving the Flipinos inland. The
gatimgs cleared several trenches.
The whole brigade was divided into
squads of twelve, and-the fighting was
carried on in the old-time frontier
fashion, from behind trees, crawling
tnrougn ousnes or rushing through the
open. The trenches, that were
not cleared by the gunboats
gave considerable resistance when
the line wasnearing the city, and the
Laguna de Bay and Oeste bombarded
for an hour in the hope of making
them too warm for occupancy, but did
not succeed in clearing them entirely.
Driving the Enemy.
General Lawton. with the' Four
teenth infantry battalions, approached
a narrow iron Dnage across a crees: on
the south border of the town. Here a
company of Filipinos waa entrenched
across the stream and behind a atone
barricade at the entrance to the bridge.
The Americans rushed forward in
single file, in the face of a galling fire,
demolished the barricade with their
hands and drove the enemy from the
trenches, killing a dozen.
The Filipino soldiers in tfte town
secreted in various buildings and firing
nus nwuuni, gave uie lnvauBrs
an interesting hour. .There waa a reg
ular nest of them in the stone mil.
which is wedged in by a wall. This
was a veritable pepper snot The
Americans, singly or in pairs, entered
the houses, and manv nrisonera wnw
taken.
A considerable number of Filininos
fled northward, crossing the open
marshes, but the Gatlings poured upon
tnem a aeaaiy nail until they disap
peared in the woods, slaying dozens.
Major Weisenberger deployed the
sharpshooters along the shore and
they crept steadily forward, aiding the
Gatlings. Finally a large body was
sent against tne enemy in the woods,
anving tnem toward the mountains.
The City captured.
General Lawton established head
quarters at the elegant palace of the
Governor and a guard was immedi
ately placed , in the church, as the
sacred edifices are always the first ob-

Fight Between Men of the First North

ments Near Savannah.
By Telegraph to the Morning star.
Savannah, Ga., April lO.-I'rivate
James Murdock, of Company E, First
North Carolina regiment, is at-the
government hospital in a critical con
dition." Private Cook, of the same regi
ment and company, is also at the hos
pital considerably bruised. Both men
were injured yesterday afternoon near
Avondale range, by three members of
the Fourth "Virginia regiment. It seems,
there was arquarrel and fight partici
pated in by several North Carolina
and Virginia men, each " party
taking sides. The men were more or
less, under the influence of liquor.
One of the Virginia -men got hold of
a heavy railroad fish-plate. With this
he struck Murdock and while he was
down pounded him into insensibility
before he could be rescued by hfs
friends. Cook attempted to aid Mur
dock in his fight and was badly used
up. Three Virginians have been ar
rested, but the officers will not give
their names. Murdock is likely to die
from his injuries. Cook is not badly
hurt. There is considerable hard feel
ing between the North Carolina and
Virgina regiments on account of the

A Deadlock Likely.
The commissioners will not go to
Samoa equipped with incidental in
structions. This is a matter of regret
here, but it is felt to be inevitable if
the parties to the pending negotiations
persist in the present attitude. In such
case the proceedings or the commis
sion will be all ad referendum; the
body having little power itself, but all
of its acts being subject to the approval
oi me principals, xne uerman propo
sition is to authorize the commission'
ers to deal with the situation ar they
find it but under the limitation that
they must be unanimous in ordering

arriving in Apia, the commissioners
will instantly take positions in sud

considers to be an absolute violation
