Manila, April 10.—7 p. m.—General Lnwton has captured Santa Cruz, at the extreme end of the lake. He drove the rebels, who were commanded by u Chinaman named l'ao-Wuh, into the mountains. The Americans had six wounded. The rebels lost (58 killed and forty wounded.

5 p. m.—Rebels along the railroad fired on a scouting party this after­noon, wounding two Kansans.

Washington, April 10.—The follow­ing has been, received from Otis:

"Lawton has captured Sauta Cruz, the chief city of Laguna dc Hay, this morning:. Casualties, six wounded, The insurgents were driven out, leav­ing sixty-eight dead on the field and a large number of wounded. A con­siderable number were captured. Law-ton will pursue."

Manila, April 10.—7 p. m—Santa Cruz was the Filipinos' stronghold on Lake Laguna de Bay, and it fell into the hands of General Lawton's expedi­tion after some sharp, quick fighting, forming one of the most interesting and important battles of the war. Plans of the American commanders worked perfectly, with the exception that the progress of the expedition was delayed by the difficult navigation of the river. About 1,500 picked men composed the expedition, which was under the personal command of Gen­eral Lawton, on account of the illness of General King. These troops partly surrounded the city, while (he gun­boats Laguna de Bay, Napidan and Oeste, under the command of Captain Grant, of the L'tah battery, shelled the city and outlying trenches.

General Lawton and his staff accom­panied the troops, sometimes leading charges in Indian lighting tactics, which eventually resulted in tlie com­plete rout of the rebels, with the smallest amount of damage to the city and slight loss to the Americans.

The expedition started from San Pedro Macati at dusk on Saturday, in­tending to capture Santa Cruz by as­sault at daybreak. But in navigating the shallow, tortuous Pasig river, per­haps through the cunning of the na­tive pilots, who were not anxious to see the Americans successful, several boats grounded and it was nearly dawn when the troops reacheti the lake. The expedition then steamed cautiously forward, the. Xapidan and the Oeste a mile ahead and the La­guna de Bay going in the rear.

Rebel signal fires, however, were lighted on the mountain tops, giving alarm of the approach of the troops.

It was noon before the white church towers of the city appeared in the shadow of the great volcanic moun­tain, on a marshy plain dotted with occasional palm groves.

A casco with a force of 200 pickcd sharpshooters, under Major Weiscn-berger, mostly belonging to the First Washington regiment, was run into a shallow inlet about five miles south of the city.

Then a few shells were sent toward the entrenchments of the rebels at the edge of the woods, sending tlie enemy scampering inland.

Then a number of Americans jumped into the water, and wading for about 10 yards, crept forward and formed in line, covering the landing of the remainder, which iinished about 5 o'clock. The three troops of tho Fourth cavalry, unmounted, were sent ashore on a dangerous, marshy point, directly south of the city, under fire from the enemy's trenches.

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 surrender, went on board the Laguna de Bay and, accom­panied by the Associated Press launch, steamed slowly to the dock, the whole fleet watching anxiously. When it was discovered by the gla'sses that the trenches and stone buildings were swarming with white-clad soldiers the two boats withdrew, receiving volieys from the trenches thrown up on the marshy plain north of the city.

The flotilla anchored in compact for­mation for the night, ready to resist and surprises from the rebel gunboats supposed to be in the lake. At sunrise Moiftlay the assault, com­menced. The American outline south of the city stretched two miles inland, and, with its left sweeping the shore, it moved north while the Fourth cav­alrymen on the point advanced toward the city, pouring volleys upon the trenches. Simultaneously the gun­boats shoved along the shore, shelling the woodH ahead of the troops and driving the Filipinos inland. The gat-lings 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 through bushes or rushing across the open. The trenches that were not cleared by tlie gunboats gave consid­erable resistance when the line was ncaring 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.

General Lawton, with the Four­

teenth Infantry battalions, approached, a narrow iron bridge across a creek pn the south border of the town. Here' a company of Filipinos was entrenched' across the stream and behind a stone; barricade at the entrance to thej bridge. The Americans rushed for­ward in single file, in the face of a galling lire, demolishing the barricade with their hands and drove the enemy from the trenches, killing a dozen.

The Filipino soldiers in the town se­creted in various buildings und firing from the windows, gave the invaders an interesting hour. There was a reg­ular nest of them in the stone jail, which is edged in by a wall. This was a veritable pepper pot. The Americans singly or in pairs entered the house and many warriors were taken prison­ers.

A considerable body of Filipinos fled northward, crossing the open marshes, but the gatlings poured upon them a deadly hail until they disappeared in the woods, slaying dozenB.

Major Weisenberger deployed ths sharpshooters along the shore, anij they crept steadily forward, aiding the gatlings. Finally a large body was sent against the enemy in the woods, driving them towards the mountains.

General Lawton established head­quarters at the elegant palace of the governor, and a guard was immedi­ately placed in the church, as the sacred edifices are always the first ob» jective of looters.

Within an hour the streets were pa­trolled and all looting prevented. Most of the inhabitants fled during the two preceding nights and only a few Chi­nese shopkeepers have emerged from hiding and resumed business. On thej marshes north of town were found' forty dead Filipinos, some terribly torn Ivy shells, and ninny others, wounded, to whom the Americans of-' fered their canteens as though they' were comrades. A surgeon who1

traversed the field counted 80 killed, and General Lawton will report at! least. 68. One Filipino, attempting to make his escape, slashed viciously at Major Weisenberger, who shot and killed him.

Yesterday the insurgents captured two men of the Fourteenth infantry while unarmed, but the Americans stole the guns of their captors, clubbed them, hid in the trees over nights and

'returned in the morning. The gunboats this afternoon have

been searching the Santa Cruz river for shipping.

Tomorrow the expedition will push forward, the Americans having de­stroyed miles of telegraph lines, cut­ting off insurgent communication east and west.

BIG RAILROAD STRIKE IN CUBA.

Sixteen Hundred Men Quit Work-Gomez Reinstated.

Havana, April 12.—The strike on the United railroads Is assuming a serious character. The number of strikers has been increased to 1.G00. A committee rep­resenting the strikers waited upon Gov­ernor-General Brooke yesterday, explain­ing the attitude of the strikers. The gen­eral warned them not to dtstuy> public order. The strikers will move tne mails and American troops, but will not assist in the transportation of passengers or freight.

Commercial and personal interests are suffering and it Is believed the strikers will prevent new men from working.

It Is not probable that the United rail­roads will be able to Und the requisite number of engineers in Cuba to drive their trains, and there are no signs of an end of the strike.

Work on the new barracks for the United States troops at Guanajay, prov­ince of Plnar del Rio, is interrupted by the strike. The-strikers, It should be said, are altogether orderly.

General Maximo Gomez was notified last night bv the Cuban army representatives from Pinar del Rio, Havana and Matan-zas provinces that they have reinstated him as commander-in-chief. The Cuban generals of Santa Clara province adhered by telegraph to the action of the western provinces. Puerto Principe and Santiago de Cuba are to be heard from.

General Leonard Wood, in command of Santiago de Cuba, declares that there are no Cubans under arms in that part of the island, and the Cubans say there are no Cuban soldiers in the province of Puerto Principe. '

The military authorities have been in­formed that they will receive today the Cuban army muster .r&lls now held by the so-called executive committee ap­pointed by the late military assembly be­fore its dissolution. With General Gomez as the army's representative to be dealt with in the matter of payment and dis­banding, and with the rolls in their pos­session. the Americans will then be In a position to push forward energetically,, which they are fully prepared to do. •

Doubtless there will be considerable crit­icism among the Cubans when it. is an-, nounced that the United States is fully re­solved not to make any payments to for­mer soldiers now In civil employmc' t. and to eliminate also all who enlisted after July 37 last.

The Third lientucky volunteers, 44 offi­cers and 942 men, sailed from Matansas yesterday for Savannah on the Florida and Kilpatrick. The Thirty-first Michigan regiment will leave Cienfuegos today as well as a battalion of the Third engineers, now stationed at headquarters. The en­gineers will be the last volunteers to leave, as the signal corps will probably bo mustered out here.

The foundations of the barracks to be constructed at Camp Buena Vista for the regulars are finished, and the Guanajay barracks will be ready some time next month. Yesterday an American soldier, whose name is believed to be Condon, grew disorderly In a barroom at El Cerro and assaulted a policeman with a piece of gasplpe. The policeman shot the soldier, and he died yesterday mornlnjg. A duel was fought yesterday morning between Eguine Santa Cruz and Emanuel Menen-dez, arising out of a political discussion. Menendez was wounded in the arm.

General»Ludlow announced yesterday the appointment of Aristeds Aguerro to take charge of the distribution of rations in the department of Havana at a salary of 1300 a month, chargeable, like the ra­tions, to the Cuban customs. Aguerro was one of the most violent members of the Cuban military assembly, and vigorously denounced General Gomez. He is re­garded as an able man. v- :

Pana; TllM*April 1!?.—The mosi flead-' ly riot that has occurred here since °he union miners instigated a strike in \pril, 1898, broke out at 10 o'clock yes­terday morning, resulting in seven sersons being shot to death and nine wounded, as follows:

fall, and no more trouble is Ipoked for. Adjutant General Reece, Cokonel A. E. Culver and three companies1, of Infan­try arrived at 6 o'clock in thie evening on special trains, and perfect order was maintained throughout the town from that time on. The companies of infantry are Company .H from Deca­tur, Company C from Springfiiefd and Company B from Tay'orville. Miners stood about in groups talkiBg, but there was no outward manifestations of excitement, although it was) evident that great indignation existed, espe­cially among the townspeople over the shooting of the citizens and women. Henry Stephens, negro miner, who has long been considered a leader among his associates, is declared to hanre been the direct cause of the riot. It. is said he was also the leader of the clot that occurred last September.

Stephens has long cherished hatred for Sheriff Downey and has openly made threats tBat he would ;kill him on sight. Sunday he was on the Itreets with a revolver, baying he was ooking for-Sheriff Downey. -* He con-anues this yesterday ,and Sheriff Dow-iey came upon him on Locust street. The sheriff commanded Stephens to Seliver the revolver and told him lie ivas under arrest for carrying con-sealed weapons. Stephens without a. t/ord instantly leveled his weapon and jred at the sheriff. The bullet went Ivild. The sheriff immediately opened are on the"negro. Deputy Sheriff Che-, aey, hearing the shooting, rushed to oin Sheriff Downey.

Stephens took to his heels and suc­ceeded in gaining Penwell's general Itore in Locust street, the principal thoroughfare, two blocks distant, and ;ook his stand in the entrance. He lesitated there an instant, and then jtepped to the pavement,. leveled his] •evolver down the street toward his ipproaching pursuer and fired. The pullet missed the deputy and struck Kavier Lecocq, a Frenchman, who was standing in the entrance of a neighbor-ng saloon, killing him instantly. Stephens then turned aud ran into the Cenwell store and sought refuge be-Mud a counter. By this time excite-' aient was rampant, and the streets, rere rapidly filling with men, aJl of! whom bore weapons. Deputy Cheney hashed into the store followed by Dep­uty Joe Mullen and several citizens. V fusillade of bullets was poured into. !he store and Stephens emptied his .•evolver at his assailants from behind .'lie counter. The infuriated crowd at :he door, continued to fire, and Stephens, seeing that death was. nevitable, made a desperate dash ,'or a stairway in the rear jf the store, but fell pierced »y six. bullets before he had gone ten feet. The fighting stopped in­stantly and Sheriff Downey ran to the scene of the wounded negro and placed him under arrest. Stephens swore and said to the deputy "I sur­render," and with blood pouring down his clothing walked with his captor to a physician's office, where he was given medical attention. He was then taken to jail. Meanwhile the riot was faging in the street. As soon as the first shots had been fired the whistle of the electric light plant was blown as a signal for the citizens, the major­ity of whom had long been -sworn in as deputies, to turn out armed and ready to fight. At the same time the miners of the Pana and Penwell mines, which are located about four blocks distant from the Penwell store, rushed into the tipples and opened fire on-the thronged streets. The news that Ste­phens, one of their number, had been shot, aroused them to a pitch of fury. They shot at any living mark in sight, and as a result among their victims are three women, two of whom are white women, and one negro woman,

taH dead.. ' A negro shot through the threat and

breast, but not tlfought to be fatally founded, who took part in the riot, was taken to Litchfield by two deputy 'sheriffs.. He was taken immediately to the jail, where he was kept until 5 o'clock, at which time he was taken to Taylorvillet the" county seat of Christian county, for %fear the union miners near Litchfield would make an attempt at lynching.

The military, upon arrival, immedi-utely arrested every deputy sheriff, in­cluding Chief Deputy Chewey, all of whom were disarmed and then re­leased. Chief, of Police Kiely was also arrested, and Colonel Culver disarmed him. On the train which brought Com­panies B and C came Assistant State's Attorney Shamel, of. TaylorvilJe, to represent the state in the difficulty; but the military officials gave him but little attention. % t a - >> E

i A Feathered Wonder. v 'J ' London Mail: Possibly the rarest

of all feathered ore'attiros is the "takahe" bird of New Zealand. Science names it Notornis Mnn{lrlli.~ The first one ever seen by white ejes was caught in 1849. A second came to white hands in 1851. Like the first, i) was tracked over snow nnd caught w$h dogs, light­ing stoutly* and uttering- picrcmg screams of rage until-.^bverinuKtered. Both became the propetgjr of the llrit-ish museum. After thiu" It wus not seen again until' 1871® That year's specimen wynt to the^lresden mu­seum, at the cOBt of $5Qw. The fourth, which, was captured lint, fall in the fiords of Lake Te Anawin New Zea­land, lias been ottered TO- tile govern­ment there for the -tidy^gpm of $1,2.10.
