Pul Out in Terror

Manila (By Cable). -Tbe American
wTed over Maloloa at 10
o clock Friday morning. The Kansas
Keeiment and Montana Regiment, on
entering the city, found it deserted, the
lresidncla burning, and the rebels re
treating towards the mountains in a
state of terror. It is believed that they
cannot in any future time make e?en a
faint resistance. Tbe American loss was
small. It ia evident that tbe rebels bad
for some time raat abandoned all hope
of holding their capital, for tbe Ameri
cans found there evidences of elaborate
preparation for evacuation. On the
railroad tbe raila and ties for about a
mile had been torn up and probably
thrown into the river. The only prii
oaen captured were a few Chinamen.

tbe great dissatisfaction of tho trq

Irom headquarters rearardin tha at
titude of the government, editorial
comment is varied and contradictory.
Aue general tone oi tne press, in com

one oi dismay ana distrust, both of
Great Britain and the United States,
and their ultimate intentions. In this
tne German newspapers have seeming
iy ueen connrniea uy specials received
from tho United States, all of which as

desire a serious encouuter with Ger
many. The influential Centrist Cologne

prevailing in the United States ia of
small account." It asserts that war
against Germany is daily preached and
"may lead to deplorable results if the

Apia, Samoan Island, (B Cable).

commanding, and the British crnizers
Porpoise and Royalist. Thebombard- I
ment h33 continued iutarmittently for
eight daj-s. Several villages have been
bai ned. and there Lave been a number
of casualties among tho British sailors
acd marines. As yet it is impossible
to estimate the number of natives kill
ed or wounded. The Porpoise has
shelled the villages east and west of

against the Germans. Two men, a
British and a German subject, have

fired chambers were found in same.

ed all the trouble, seems to have organ
ized the party cf negroes. He is a
worthless loafer about the town and

which of course incensed the latter.
