The steamer leit ;airo wiin sixteen i i i i t - r passengers, aooara, Douna ior mem phis. At Carutherville, Mo., she landed and took aboard fifteen more passengers. It .is estimated that with passengers and crew she then had aboard about fifty people She made the next landing at Tyler, Mo., and at 4 o'clock this afternoon backed into mid-stream from Tyler to proceed on her journey. The steamer had just reached jtne mioaie or ine river, when she suddenly stopped ad lurched as if a snag had been struck. The next moment the boat parted in the middle; a volume of steam and debris arose and the detonation of an explosion thundered over the water. The river is running very high and the steamer immediately sank wjjji all on board, .except the captain and one of the crew, who clung .to wreckage and were saved by boats. Memphis, Tenn., March 29.

The American army advanced at 6 o'clock this morning, sweeping three miles be fore 10 o'clock and driving tthe rebels beyond Bocave, to the east of Bulacan and on the railroad leading to Ma lolos. Our troops met with but little resistance. - The. Filipinos fired volleys yester day evening, for the purpose of draw ing the American fire and disclosing the locality of our positions. .Two men of the Pennsylvania regiment and one man belonging to the Dakota regiment were wounded The Ameri cans remained siletn. x The' country between Marilao and Manila" presents a picture of desolation. Smoke is curling frcm hundreds of ash heaps 'and. the remains of trees and fences torn by shpapnel are to be seen els-where. The-general appearance of the country is as it had been swept by a cyclone. 7The roads are strewn with furniture and clothing dropped in flight by the Filipinos. The only persops remaining behind are a few aged persons too infirm to escaoe. They camp beside the ruins of their former homes and beg passers by for any kind of assistance. The majority of them are living -on the generosity of our soldiers, who give them portions of their rations. Filipinos' Hurried Flight. Bodies of dead Filipinos are stranded in the shallows of the river or are rest ing in the jungle where they crawled to die or were left in the wake of the hurriedly retreating army. There is no time at present to bury them. The inhabitants who fled from Marilao and Meycauayan left in such a panic that on tables our soldiers found spread money' and valuables and in the rooms were trunks con taining other property of value. This was the case in most of the houses de serted. They , were not molested by our soldiers, but the Chinese who slip in between the armies are looting when they can and have taken posses sion of several houses, over which they raised Chinese flags, some of which were torn down. , Fierce Fighting in the Jungle. - Manila, March 29, 7.35 A. M. At daylight General MacArthur's di vision advanced from -Marilao along the railroad to Bigaa, five miles dis tant, with the Nebraska, South Da kota and Pennsylvania regiments on the right and the Kansas and Montana regiments and the Third artillery on the left. General Wheaton's brigade is in reserve. The American forces met with strong opposition in the jangle, iirst one Nebraskan, then one Pennsylvanian, and afterward two of the Montana regiments were killed! Thirty-five were wounded, including one officer of the Kansas regiment. 1 The rebels burned the villages as they retreated in bad order toward Malolos. The enemy also tore up sections of the railroad in many places, and attempted to burn the bridge at Bigaa, but the fire was ex tinguished owing to the timely ar rival of the Americans. The rebels had not finished their trenches along the line of to-day's march, showing they were not prepared for our ad vance. It is believed, however, that there will be a hard fight before Ma lolos is taken. - The Minnesota regiment reinforced the division to-day, marching from the water works during the night to Manila and going to the front by train. Gen. Otis' Report. Washington. March 29. The fol lowing report was received at the War Department to day from General Otis: "Manila, March 25.

In antici pation of the brace of holidays at hand in the cotton market ;, of this country and Europe, trading in futures was conducted with much' caution to-day, and not much is expected of the market for the rest of the week, unless there should develop some unforeseen" factors. The opening call developed a barely steady feeling with prices un changed to one point higher for old crop positions' and one to three points lower for new crop positions. Subse quently business increased the decline four to five points, later cables being unsatisfactory. Following the call there was a sudden upward movement on the publication of the weather bulletin, which caused a demand from shorts, who were alarmed by the indications of cold rains for the Atlantic States and un seasonable weather for the rest of the cotton belt. The loss of the early part of the session was promptly re covered, but later this market eased off again and showed a good deal of ir regularity. At noon the lowest prices were again current. Still later, busi ness showed a lack of resolution on both sides of the account and; business was small, witn ue marxet nnauj quiet at a net loss of four to six points. New York. March 29.
