The trenbles growing oat of the election of a King of Samoa have taken a more serious turn and resulted la a bombardment of native villages along tbe shore by the United Slates cruiser Phlladelpblt, Admiral Kauntz command ing and tbe British cruisers Porpoise acd Royalist. Tbe bombardment has continued Intermittently for eight days. Several villages have been burned and there have been a number of casualties among the American and British sailors and marines. As yet it is impossible to j estimate tbe number of natives killed and Injured. As Mataafa and bis chiefs, constitut ing the provlsonal government, continu ed to defy tbe treaty after tbe arrival of the Philadelphia, Admiral Kauntz sum moned lha various' eoaaals and senior naval officers to a conference on board' the Philadelphia, when the whole situa tion waa carefully canvassed. Tbe up shot was a resolution to dismiss the provisional government, and Admiral Kauntz Issued a proclamation calling upon Mataafa and his chiefs to return lo their homes. Mataafa evacuated Mulinuu, the town he' had made his headquarters, and went into the interior. lierr Rose the German consul at Apia issued a proclamation supplementing the oue he hsd Issued several weeks before, upholding lbs provisional government As a result of this, tbe Mataafans as sembled la large force and hemmed In the town. TJie British cruiser Royalist brought the Malietoa prisoners from tbe islands to which they had been transferred by the provisional government. The Americans then forlilled Mulinuu where 23,0u0 Malietoana look mfuge. The Insurgents, the adherents or Ma taafa, barricaded tbe roads within the municipality and seized the British bouses. Au ultimatum was aent to them, ordering them lo evacuate and threaten ing tliein In I lie event of refusal with a bombardment to commence at 1 o'clock on the afternoon of March 15. This was ignored, and the insurgents commenced an attack in the direction of the United Stales and British consulates about half an hour before the time fixed for the bombardment. The Philadelphia, Porpoise and Royal ist opened fire upon the distant villages. There was great difficulty in locating the enemy, owing to the dense forests, but several shore villages were soon In flames. A defective shell from tbe Philadel phia exploded near the American con sulate and tbe marines outside narrowly escaped. A fragment struck the leg of Private Rudge, shattering it so bsdly as to necessitate amputation. Another fragment traversed the German consu late, smashing the crockery. The Ger mans then went on board the German cruiser Falke. During the night the Insurgents made a hot attack on the town, killing three British sailors. A British marine was shot Iu the leg by a sentry or his own party; another was shot in the root, and an American sentry was killed at his post. The bombardment continuing the in habitants or the town took refuge on board the Royalist, greatly crowding tbe vessel. Many people are leaving Samoa, tbe captain or the Royalist urging them to go, so as not to Interfere with the military operations. The Porpoise has shelled the villages east and west of Apia and captured many boats. The Americans and British are fight ing splendidly together, but there Is a bitter feeling against the Germans. Ta o men, a British and a German sub ject bave been arrested as spies. The bombardment of the jungle was for a time very bet. CASTOR I A For Infants and Childrtn.

HaeArtlMi'-s ale a Lust Heavily, Bui Are Now Alasost At City H Malolos. Manila, March 29. The American ad vance column, under General Mac. Arthur advanced today from Mariloa to a poiut within two ahd a half miles of Malolos There It encamped for the eight, At ( A, M. a flying column of the Third Artillery, with tbe Montana and Kansas troops os the left of the railroad aad the Pennsylvania, South Dakota ard Nebraska men on the right, started from Mariloa for Bocave over two miles of open fields. The Filipinos began to tire almost im mediately and continued until the troops reached the Bocave river. The Americans never wavored. The Nehraskans swung in from the extreme left and doubled up the Filipino lefl at the river. The natives then ran. Some rails had been removed from lue railroad, hindering the progress of the American column. Wounded Filipinos reported that their army has retreated to Malolos. Or the Pennsylvanians, one was killed and five wounded. The Kansas regiment lost one officer and lifteen privates wounded: tbe Montanas live wounded, and of the Nehraskans oue was killed and ten wounded. The American advance was wounder fully rapid considering thai the Filipi nos destroyed the bridges on luo road. There was no resistance at Bigaa. The troops advanced quickly in contracted lines to Guiguiulo. There ihe "Pennsyl vania soldiers crossed llie bridge, ai.il the advance guard unexpectedly encountered the Filipinos concealed iu the woods ahead, whence tiny opened a heavy fire. The Kausas regiment and one Imttu! ion of the South Dakota men rushed over the bridge under tire. Two Utah guns and one Colt rapid-lire gun also went into action. The Filipinos had trenches across the railroad. The American loss here was several killed and more tbau twenty wounded. The Filipinos were driven off. General MacArlhur's men advanced a little further and then encamped for the night. Filipinos bave been found with their throats cut. This is understood to Indi cate that they were thus punished for refusing to fight. It is now believed in Manila that llie Filipinos' faith In Agulnaldo is destroy ed.
