Seize* the Pord Near CalumpitAfter Hot Fight—Intnirgont Army Thonglit to Have Centralized In the Town. Aguinaldo and Lima Said to Head Force. Imp or taut Move Is llegnn. MANILA, April 25.—General MacAr thur's division left Malolos yesterday, apparently intending to besiege Calum pit. General Hale at 4 o'clock had crossed the Bagbag and had reached a position a quarter of a mile from Calum pit, thus commanding the ford. Pris oners captured by General Hale's troops say Aguinaldo, General Luna and the Filipino staff are at Calunipit with a great force of Filipino troops. Before daylight the Fourth cavalry, with three guns belonging to the Utah battery, the Nebraska regiment and the Iowa l-egiment under Hale, were pro ceeding in the direction of Kuinchua, where the Bagbag is fordable, but com manded by trenches. During the after noon the troops crossed the river. Generals MacArthur and Wheaton, with the Montana regiment, advanced to the left of the railroad and the Kan* sas regiment moved forward to tho right, north of Malolos. They had with, them along supply train. The insurgents attempted to destroy the railroad bridge outride of Calumpit afid succeeded in badly warping the iron framework. As soon as the soldiers left the Filipino capital the natives be gan flocking in, as they did at Santa Cruz, before the last boat of General Lawton's expedition had sailed. Our army is compelled to abandon all towns when an onward movement is com menced, because of insufficient men to garrison them. This gives the Fili pino leaders a framework upon which to spin stories of American defeat. The American commanders have left great stores of riee at Malolos, which they have been distributing to the na tives and Chinese daily. Major Mtilford of General Lawton's staff is in command of the Nebraska regiment. Although the sticky condition of the ground, due to a rainstorm, seriously impeded its progress, General Lawton's (Column left San Jose today and is ex pected to reach Norzagay this evening. Colonel Summers is marching across from Bocave with two battalions each from the Oregon and Minnesota regi ments, three troops of cavalry and two guns. In the meantime General Mac Arthur,'s division is in front of Calum pit, preparing to attack the rebel strong hold, and General Hale, with several guns, is threatening the enemy's flank. Many insurgents were driven from in front of the line of march. Fifty of the enemy were killed, while the American loss was only one killed. A few rebels between Novaiclies and La Loma have persistently interfered with telegraphic communication. A small body of rebels at Taktay was discovered this morning by the armored launch Rapfdan. A few shots scattered the rebels and drove them inland from the lake. All is quiet al5ng General Hall's and General Ovenshine's lines. Plan of the Campaign. WASHINGTON, April 25.—Information received at the war department indi cates that General Otis is about to exe cute another movement, the initial ieatures of which are shown by the press advices from Manila. The ob jective point is the insurgent town of Calumpit, about eight miles northwest of Malolos. It was here that the in surgents concentrated after being driven out of their capital and making it the base of their operations. In moving on this stronghold, General Otis proposes to conduct two distinct operations. The first one, under Major General MacArthur, has for its purpose pushing straight for ward from Malolos, along the railroad, and striking at Calumpit from the south. The second one is under Major General Lawton, who with his flying column is moving far around the north to the large town of Noraagay, from which point he will turn abruptly west toward Calumpit. This last move will take about 10 days and military strategists look upon it as another effort to flank the insurgents by getting behind them at Calumpit, similar to the flank move ment which General MacArthur at tempted to execute at Malolos. This double operation makes Calum pit the ((enter of the nest few days, while attention will be divided between MacArthur's column advancing from Malolos and Lawton's column on its march by Norzagay. MacArthur has only a short distance to traverso, so that his forces may bo engaged with tho main force of the insurgents within the next few hours. The country is flat and open, and rather better for our troops than that lying south of Malolos. Calumpit lies on tho left bank 6t stream» afc FROM a femall i(s confluence with the largo —river Rio Grande. It is a substantially built town, with some 2,000 houses. The advance of General Lawton by a circuitous route will be over a country of which little is known here. Norza gay is a considerable town and it is thought General Lawton is abont there bv this time.

DES MOINES, April 21.—The election of officers of the Fifty-second Iowa Na tional Guard regiment, recently reor ganized after service in the war, re sulted in the re-election of Colonel W. B. Humphrey of Sioux City as colonel S. J. Parker of Hampton as lieutenant colonel Otto Hile of Boone as one major. With one company, Hampton, still to hear from, the other majors are in doubt.

They report quite hearty sym pathy on the part of the people when the miners place the situation before them in its true light, and aid is freely given. The Carbondale and Klondike mines are not running and the Christy mine is working but a few men.' There are still 1,000 men out and they say they will stick to their demands. The operators say that for every day they are out the miners lose an aggregate of over $3,500. Hard Blow For McFarland. DES MOINES, April 22.—In the case of the state vs. ex-Secretary of State Mc Farland, charged with misuse of the state funds, the state gained an im portant point in the decision of Judge Holmes to admit the evidence by the state tending to show that the ex-secre tary and not the legislative council had the full control of the work of com piling tho census and that in all its workings his otfice was conducted by himself. The evidence tended yester day to show that McFarland received considerable sums of money from all of the employes at work upon tho census, which he applied to his own use.

REFERRED TO NAVY DEPARTMENT Ambassador Will New Walt to See .What Action Is Taken Before Slaking An other Move In the Matter—Captain Coghlan Begretf Publicity Which Has Come to His Speech. WASHINGTON, April 25.—The German government has entered a formal pro test against the anti-German utterances of Captain Coghlan of the Raleigh at the Union League club banquet in New York last Friday night. The protest was lodged with Secre tory Hay through the German ambas sador, Herr von Holleben. Secretary Hay. replied that the lan guage appeared to have been used at a dinner ifi a club and so could not be re garded as an official or public utterance in the sense that would warrant the state department in acting. However, the navy department was fully compe tent to take such action as the case seemed to require. With this state ment the ambassador was content for the time at least, and will doubtless await a reasonable length of time upon the navy department. There'" are semi official intimations that -the ambassador will not so mach concern himself with the course of Captain Coghlan as with the course of the United States in deal ing Coghlan. The German ambassa dor stated that the poem recited by Captain Coghlan was "too nasty to be noticed." Coghlan Regrets Publicity. NEW YORK, April 25.—At the ban quet given at the Astor gallery to the sailors of the Raleigh last night Cap tain Coghlan was asked regarding the international furore caused by his speech, but he was reticent. He said: "I have received no communication from Washington except a routine or der, which has come through 'Rear Admiral John W. Philip. I do not care to discuss the matter. As yon can well understand, the more I talk about it the more the matter will become in volved, and there will be misstatements and misunderstanding3i-*itYou can un derstand my position. It is a dreadful thing, this getting talked about so much in the newspape rs." Knock Ont Proves Fatal.

"ARGUMENTS IN GEORGE CASE, Attorneys for E icli Side Present Requests as to Charge of Jury* CANTON, O., April 25.—Attorney Grant occupied the whole of yesterday in opening the arguments on behalf of the state in the trial of Mrs. George. Tho court room was filled as it has not been at any other stage of the proceed-: ings. Mrs. George sat with downcast eyes during most of the proceedings of the session. During the day attorneys for each side presented their requests as to the charge of the jury. The state asks that the jury be instructed that all promises to marry and failure to keep it, the divorce and the payment for it, the relations botween the ac cused and deceased and all of the testi x^Duy as to Mrs. George's grievances Against Saxton, shall be" recited to the jury by tho judge as not being any justifi cation for tho homicide, but merely sub jects for consideration in determining the degree of the homicide and tho men tal responsibility of the accused. The state also asks that the general weak ness of the alibi of the defence shall ba recited to the jury. The defense asks the court to charge the jury that the homicide must bo proven, and the accused guilty of it, before any of the threats are considered against the accused, and that tho' threats are only to bo considered in de termining the degree of homicide, after it had been otherwiso established. They also ask that tho court charge that the".. accused is not to be prejudiced by reason. of the defendant not having taken the stand in her own behalf, and that the evidence of one addicted to the opium or morphine habit is not credible.
