the Issue One Year Hence.

of Augusta. Me., a prominent banker,

proceed to the City of Mexico.
Mr. Mauley is one of the most con
spicuous of the eastern Republican mem
bers of the national executive commit
tee and for IS years has been chairman
of the state Republican committee of
Maine
When asked regarding the Jekyl is
land trip of Mr. Reed, he said he knew
nothing of any political significance
attached to it, that Mr. Reed frequently
visited the club owning the retreat.
“What is your opinion of the next
national campaign?” asked the reporter.
“I think unquestionably that the cur
rency question must be fought over
again, and that there will be few mate
rial changes in the platforms.”
“Who will be the nominee of the
Democrats?”
“To some there seems not the slight
est doubt that Bryan will be the man.
He has the machinery and, I think, will
not only control the convention, but
dictate its platform. You know what
his views are on the question of expan
sion and what I have just said explaius
my idea of what his party will do on
that subject ”
Mr. Mauley very plainly indicated
that so far as the future of the Republi
can party is concerned he did not care
to speak, because utterances copied in
other papers might be misinterpreted or
misunderstood.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
PUSH OH TO MALOLOS
Hebei Forces Now Making but
Slight Resistance.
A PICTURE OF DESOLATION
Country Between Muiillh and Marilao
Plainly Shows the ConS'-quences of
War, Smoke Curling From Ash
Heaps, Vegetation Ruined.
Manila, March 29.—The American
army advanced at 6 o’clock this morn
ing, sweeping onward 3 miles before 10
o’clock and driving the rebels beyond
Bocave to the east of Bulacan and on
the railroad leading to Malolos.
Our troops met with slight resistance.
The Filipinos fired volleys yesterday
evening for the purpose of drawing the
American fire and disclosing the local
ity ot our positions. Two men of the
Pennsylvania regiment and one man
belonging to the Dakota regiment were
wounded. The Americans remained
silent.
At daylight General McArthur’s di
vision advanced from Mariola along the
railroad to Bigua, 5 miles distant, with
the Nebraska, South Dakota and Penn
sylvania 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 jungle. First one Ne
braskan, then one Pennsylvanian and
afterwards two of the Montana regi
ments were killed. Thirty-five were
wounded, including one officer of the
Kansas regiment.
Torch Applied by Rebels.
The rebels burned the villages as they
retreated in bad order towards Malolos.
The enemy also tore up sections of the
railroad in many places and attempted
to burn the bridge at Rigaa, but the fire
wus extinguished owing to the timely
urrival of the Americans. The rebels
had not finished their trenches along
the line of today’s march, showing they
were not prepared for our advance.
It is believed, however, that there
will be a hard fight before Malolos is
taken. The Minnesota regiment rein
forced the division today, marching
from the waterworks during the night
to Manila and going to the front by
train.
The oountry between Marilao end
Manila presents a picture of desolation.
Smoke is cnriing from hundreds of ash
heaps, and the remains of trees ana
fences torn by shrapnel are to be seen
everywhere. The general appearance
of the country is as if it had been swept
by a cyclone. The roads are strewn
with furniture and clothing dropped in
flight by the Filipinos.
The only persoiiß remaining behind
are a few aged people, too infirm to es
cape. They camp beside the rnins of
their former homes and beg passersby
for any kind of assistance. The major
ity of them are living on the generosity
ot our soldiers, who give them portions
of their rations.
Filipinos In Rivers.
The dogs of the Filipinos cower in
the bushes, still terrified and barking,
while hundreds of pigs are to be seen
busily searching for food. Bodies of
dead Filipinos are stranded in the shal
low's of the river or are resting in the
jungle, where they crawled to die, or
were left in the wake of the hurriedly
retreating army. These bodies give
forth a horrible odor, but there is no
time at present to bury them.
The inhabitants who fled from Mari
lao and Mevcanayan left in such a
panic that on tables our soldiers fouud
spread money and valuables and iu the
rooms were trunks containing other
property of value. This was the case
in most of the booses deserted. They
were not molested by onr soldiers, but
the Chinese who slip in between the
armies, are looting when they can and
. have taken possession of several houses,
over which they raised Chinese flags,
some of which were torn down.
An old woman was found hidden in a
house at Meycauayan yesterday just
dead, apparently from fright and hun
ger.
NEW YORK REGIMENT OUT.
Two Hundred and Third Infantry Dis

Greenville, S. C., March 25. —After
eight monthb’ service in the volunteer
army the Two Hundred and Third New
York regiment was mustered out at
Camp Wetherill today and this after
noon they left for their home state. The
rolls of the regiment were in fine shape

rush and the First battalion was soon
out of the service.
The Southern railway will carry the
regiment home in three sections, one

Schuyler, who will soon rejoin his regi
ment, Fifth cavalry, in Porto Rico.

B. Fuller, Seventh cavalry, paymasters
were Majors Hartzel and Hallam. All
dispensaries were closed to prevent
trouble.
