WASHINGTON, March 28.— There was
a lull today in the reports from the scene
of action north of Manila, which for a
time was rather mystifying to the war
department authorities. Only one dis
patch from Gen. Otis was received during
the day dealing with the situation at the
front, and this related to yesterday after
noon. It was not until the Associated
Press dispatch came, late in the day,
telling that the American forces were
resting beyond Marilao that Gen. Otis'
silence on today's movements was ex
plained. After the arduous work or a
three days' fight under a fierce tropical
sun, through rice swamps and jungles, it
was expected by the authorities here that
Mac Arthur would conserve the energies
of his men by a halt long enough to rest
and take supplies before the final blow
against Malolos, the insurgent capital.
The supply trains are well up with the
troops, according to Gen. Otis' report
today, so that the rest permits full sup
plies of ammunition and food to be dis
tributed.
The American advance line is now be
yond Marilao and up to the large town
of Bulacan. The exact distance to Mao
los is uncertain, owing to the lack of
information as to just where they are
resting, but at most the distance cannot
be more than ten or twelve miles on a
direct line along the railway. At the rate
of progress made in the last two days
the next twenty-four hours should bring
the American force well up to the insur
gent capital, if, indeed, the assault upon
that place is not begun by that time. The
officials are disposed to allow more time,
however, considering the natural obsta
cles of unfordable rivers and burned
bridges, together with the successive lines
of rebel intrenchments. And, moreover,
as at Santiago, it is not doubted that the
Intrenchments will become more forimT.a
blo as the city itself is approached.
ONE WHIPPING MAY SUFFICE.
Leading war department officials re
ferred today to the desperation with
which the insurgents were fighting. It was
taken as an Indication that they had
staked everything on the outcome of this
fight, and, losing it, that they would sub
mit rather than prolong a hopeless strug
gle. In this view may the fierceness of
the rebel fighting be taken as an evi
dence that once whipped they will stay
whipped.
The navy department received nothing
from Admiral Dewey during and up to
the close of office hours. Nothing official
had been received concerning the achieve
ment of the Yorktown in capturing a
Spanish merchantman in the Gulf of Lln
gayen. While the dispatch is silent as to
the cause for the capture, it is surmised
that it was due to her carrying a contra
band of war. This is apparently borne
out by the fact that the gulf leads to the
terminus of the railway, which in turn
leads to the insurgent capital of Malolos.
It is further borne out by the fact of the
capture itself, which would hardly be at
tempted against a neutral merchantship
unless for serious reasons. Spain is now
practically in the position of a neutral,
bo the merchant ships have immunity
from capture unless there is good founda
tion for belief that aid and comfort is
being given to the enemy. The last In
formation from Admiral Dewey as to the
Yorktown came yesterday, when he
stated that the gunboat was cruising off
Luzon.
ON TO MALOLOS.
The insurgent capital of Malolos is now
the point to which attention in all of
ficial quarters is directed. Maj. Simp
son, assistant adjutant general, chief of
the military information bureau, today
advanced the American front five miles
. on the map. based on the latest advices
irom Gen. Otis. These were rather
meagre since yesterday and the dispatch
received today related to yesterday's
fighting, without stating whether the
action had been resumed this morning.
It was sufficient, however, to show that
Mac Arthur's division was now beyond
Marllao and well on its way to Malolos.
The disposition of the forces as shown by
the latest dispatches places the brigade
of Gen. Harrison G. Otis advancing on
the left of the railroad and the brigade of
Gen. Hale on tho right. Wheaton's bri
gade Is further back, maintaining his
communication with the advance forces.
Ahead of the American forces the most
serious natural obstacle is the Bulacan
river, which is in reality an arm of Ma
nila bay. about a mile wide, and very
deep, and reaching straight across the
path of the advancing American forces.
Lut to offset this, Gen. Otis' dispatch of
this morning conveys the cheering in
formation that our small gunboats are
in the Bulacan river, where great exe
cution was done yesterday, and where
they will relieve the pressure on Mac-
Arthur's front. This, in the judgment of
military authorities, is a strategic move
of great advantage, as the Bulacan river
and tho big city of Eulacan may be the
key to opening easy access to the in
surgent capital lying just beyond. Bula
can is a city of importance second only
to Manila, and is the capital of the
province. It is much larger and stronger
than the insurgent capital, Malolos, and
with its broad and deep river is a sort
of gateway to the capital.
BULACAN BRTDGE GONE.
Only the small towns of Pueblas, Bo
cave and Taal, lie between our troops
and the river. There is no doubt the
br dge over the Bulacan is destroyed and
this probably is tho bridge to which Gen.
Otis refers. It is felt that some delay
may be occasioned In overcoming so im
portant a natural obstacle as this deep
Wide river. Once across it, the city of
Bulacan lies to tho left. The railroad
skirts around It so that oar foroes may
leave It and press forward to the In
surgent capital or may see fit to reduce
this important city. Ueyond Bulacan the
road to Malolos is practically clear. It
permits cither a straight march due west,
or else a circuitous move along good
roads, northward to St. Isabel, then
striking: Malolos in the rear. But the be
lief here is that Gen. Mac Arthur will
press straight ahead along the railway,
preferring a direct issue with the in
surgent forces rather than another
strategic move to entrap them.
Gen. Otis' report that the supply trains
are up to Marilao is a source of special
satisfaction among officials, as It shows
that the stores are well up with the fight
ing line. Another reassuring feature of
Gen. Otis' report is that the troops are
in "excellent condition and spirits." After
a three days' fight such high spirits In the
troops counts for quite as much as ade
quate materials and stores.
SILENCE NOT PORTENTOUS.
The silence of the reports as to the
movements today caused no apprehension.
It was construed to mean that the op
erations of yesterday were proceeding to
day without material change. Maj. Simp
son was inclined to believe that after the
three days' steady fighting there would
be a lull while our forces rested. But as
rests benefit both sides, giving the enemy
an opportunity to repair and fortify, the
more general impression is that Mac A
rthur's advance will not be delayed many
hours.
Gen. Greely received a dispatch from
Manila this morning, and the fact that it
did not mention any change in the mili
tary situation was accepted as showing
that no material change had occurred.
About the war and navy departments
affairs proceeded quietly today, with no
evidence of agitation or alarm. Word was
received that the Third infantry had been
sent forward to relieve the Twenty-third
in Hale's brigade. The latter regiment
has been fighting almost continuously
since the trouble in the Philippines began.
It fought against the Spaniards, and
more recently, has been in the front of
most of the engagements. The regiment
having been on p-rovost duty is especially
familiar with the city of Manila, where
It will resume duty.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 29, 1899.— TWELVE PAGES.
RECOVERED BY TttE GLOBE
An Emissary From This Paper Makes a Special Trip to
Secure the Sword of Major Wilkinson and
Is Successful.
WALKER, Minn., March 28.— (Special.)— Your correspondent today recovered MaJ. Wilkinson's
sword from Chief Bug-a-Ma-Geshik at his home at Boy lake, twelve miles southeast of the scene of the
Sugar point carnage last October. Old Bug has been spending the winter at Boy lake around the lumber
camps, and was found In a wigwam on the west shore of the lake by Peter Bungo, a Chippew'a Indian
employed by your correspondent to pay a visit to old Bug in his winter quarters. Bungo started east
yesterday morning for Bear island, In company with George Burnett, one of the Indian police at the
agency, who went in a sled drawn by two little Indian ponies. The trip across Leech lake was made in
a snow storm. Bear island was reached at noon by the Indians, but an inspection of the battleground
on Sugar point, one mile distant, indicated that the Pillager chief had deserted the point and gone to the
Interior of the reservation early In the winter.
Inquiry among some of the Pillager tribe living In the vicinity of the point developed the where^
abouts of their chief. Bungo spent the night in old Bug's cabin in the clearing where the battle between
the Pillagers and the United States troops was fought, just a few feet from where Maj. Wilkinson and
his comrades laid down their lives before the warfare of savagery. The cabin was found just as old Bug
had left it, the cooking utensils lying around on an old stove, and a number of relics of the battle were
found on a shelf by Bungo, but left untouched by him, as the Indians have a peculiar superstition
about such matters. Nothing unusual was found about the cabin. Several Pillagers had moved into the
clearing and built temporary wigwams preparatory to the annual sugar-making operations. An old blue
army coat was found, and a bayonet very much rusted was among the effects found in the cabin.
Bungo and th e police found old Bug sitting wkh his legs crossed in his wigwam, smoking a pipe.
It was just before sunrise. Ancient courtesies were passed between the Bear island chief and the agency
Indians, and a few words were spoken between the group in the gray of the morning. All was silent,
and Chief Bug-a-Ma-Geshik was buried in thought. The agency interpreter explained that Maj. Wilkin
son's sword was sought by a newspaper for the family of the soldier, and that it was interested in seeing
justice for the Indians in the sale of their pine.
Not over twenty words were spoken by the Pillager chief, and the Interpreter, who had been the
central figure at many of the councils between the Indians and white men, waxed eloquent, and after an
other pipe around old Bug arose and from the folds of his bark wigwam drew out Maj. Wilkinson's sword.
After a spell of silent thought the chief handed the weapon over to Bungo and asked him to say that
he bore no grudge to the family of the general.
The agency Indians left the cabin after breakfast and returned to the agency. The Globe man by
appointment, went to a point two miles from the agency In the afternoon, In company with Joseph Allen,
a cruiser in the employ of the Ackley Lumber company, apd C. A. Woodmansee, of Highland, 0., and was
handed the sword by Bungo. It was neatly wrapped in white cheese cloth, tied with a white string. It
was quite tarnished. The large gold tassel hung from the hilt by a thread, and a long stout piece of buck
skin held it In place. The gold braid on the handle was torn in several places, and the gold knob on the
top was tarnished. The blade was rusted In several places. The scabbard was also recovered.
Since Maj. Wilkinson's body was brought to Walker just after th e fight there has been a suspicion
directed to several people, who were said to have stolen it. A dozen stories as to its whereabouts have
been current, and its discovery clears up a disagreeable mystery. A. G. Bernard, editor of the Walker
Pilot, has the last autograph written by Maj. Wilkinson prior to his death, which he cut from the registei
of the Pameda hotel and which he will forward to Mrs. Wilkinson in California.

HANDS OFF E SAMOA
THAT WAS THE REQUEST OF THE
GERMAN GOVERNMENT TO MR.
ANDREW WHITE
WARNED OFF THE GBOTJND
Action by American* and Britons,
Regardless of Wtahw of Ger
mans, Might Bring About a Grave
Condition of AHa.irs—— German
Protest Met In a Conciliatory
Spirit and a Rupture Averted.
BERLIN, March 28.— The correspondent
here of the Associated Press has learned
on the highest authority, at this capital,
the following explanation of a feature of
the Bamoan question which hae lately
arisen. On the report that the American
government had cabled to its admiral at
Samoa to act In accordance with the de
cision of two out of the representatives
of the powers, the German government
made earnest representation to the Amer
ican ambassador here, Andrew White,
that the Berlin treaty requires the con
currence of the three powers, and called
attention to the dangers which were sure
to arise If there was anything like a vio
lation of the treaty. The American gov
ernment made a frank and conciliatory
answer, which has caused much satis
faction here. It recognized the necessity
for unanimity upon the part of all three
powers under the treaty, as a condition
of any settled policy or permanent ac
tion, and declared the admiral was only
authorized to act In agreement with a
majority of the representatives o1 the
powers in a case of emergency which ab
solutely does not admit of delay. But,
In such a case, the ratification or adjust
ment by the unanimous vote of the three
powers must be sought at the first pos
sible moment, and no permanent ar
rangement can be made without such
unanimity.
The American government, it is added,
cabled to its representatives in Samoa to
pursue the most friendly and conciliatory
policy towards the German representa
tives and German Interests, carefully
avoiding everything likely to be miscon
strued, or to create ill-will. In conse
quence of the stories regarding Mataafa
having sanctioned sectarian tyranny, the
German government assured Mr. White
that all its influence would be exerted
against interference with the religion of
any sect.
WASHINGTON, March 28.— The facts
stated in the preceding dispatch are con
firmed here. Its effect will be to allay
any fears that may have been felt that
a diplomatic rupture with Germany over
the Samoan question was possible. It Is
probable that an effort will now be made
by the three governments to "bring about
a settlement of the matters in dispute.
Meanwhile, if any emergency should arise
calling for immediate decision, Admiral
Kautz will support the majority of the
governments represented. His orders are
intended to cover cases where one of the
representatives of the different govern
ments refuses to consent to what a ma
jority favors, where Immediate action is
imperative.
JAMAICAN CRISIS.
It Ha« Finally Reached Its Moat
Acute Stage.
NEW YORK, Maroh 28.— A dlspatoh
from Port Antonio, Jamaica, says: "This
island is passing through a severe crisis.
Though the island is taxed to Its utmost
capacity, with a tariff of 60 per cent on
necessaries, the government. In order to
provide funds to prevent the reduction
of its members' salaries, has introduced
a higher tariff. It is feared that Jamaica
will be driven by the British government
to anarchism, or rebellion. The island
parliament is in session, and the people's
representatives are fighting hard to throw
out the tariff bills. The whole country
is aroused and indignant. The governor
Is afraid to remain at his residence. "•

published In the United States that the
Baroness de Rogues has abandoned ef

ter, Mrs. Florence Maybrlck, now under
going sentence of Imprisonment for life
for poisoning her husband, and that the

Officers Are Re-elected.
NEW YORK, March 28.-The annual
meeting of the central council of the
National Sound Money league convened
in this city today. J. Sterling Morton,
of Nebraska, presided. Eighteen vice
presidents of the league, who in part
constitute the central council, were pres
ent. General Secretary E. V. Smalley
made his' report.
M. E. Ingalls, of Cincinnati, said he
believed that the league ought to make
Its attitude understood throughout the
United States. With a view of this, he
offered a resolution pledging the league
to favoring the Immediate adoption of
legislation fixing 25.8 grains of gold as
the standard dollar, the establishment of
a separate bureau of Issue and redemp
tion in the treasury department, In which
should be held, not subject to use for
current expenses of the government, a
sufficient amount ofgold to cover the re
demption on demand of all obligations of
the government, the making of all gov
ernment paper in denominations of ten
dollars and multiples of ten, and that all
smaller notes should be silver certificates,
and that banks should be required to re
deem their notes in gold at their count
ers.
This resolution aroused considerable
discussion. Congressman Fowler, of New
Jersey, proxy for John Kean, of New
Jersey, advocated the appointment by
the chair of a committee to prepare a
short, sufficient declaration for the
league, and report thereon later. This
was carried and a committee of three,
composed of Edward Atkinson, of Bos
ton; E. H. Welles, of North Dakota, and
A. B. Hepburn, of New York, was ap
pointed to report an hour later.
SILVER TO GOLD.
Mr. Rogers, of Colorado, and Senator
Carey, of Wyoming, addressed the dele
gation upon the conditions in their states.
'Mr. Rogers said that in Colorado the
people are beginning fo aslc whether, af
ter all, the gold standard Is not better
than the silver. Another phenomen is
the fact that the silver mines the last
two years have turned into gold mines.
He believed that the time was not far
distant when Colorado would abandon all
forms of Populism and give up the 16 to
1 issue. He did not believe the change
would be imminent.
Senator Carey, in speaking of the con
ditions in Wyoming, said that In the coal
mining camps and in his state generally
there was a great interest in the money
question. He spoke of his experiments
In three coal districts, his efforts to ex
plain the financial situation and the ex
cellent results. He believed that Wyom
ing was to be a gold state. The best
place for good work, however, was in
Colorado, for the influence of that com
monwealth was wide In the far West.

BOOM FOR MR. OLNEY.
His Friends Are Grooming Him for
a Presidential Nomination.
MILWAUKEE, Wls., March 28.— That a
movement is under way to make ex-
Secretary of State Richard Olney, the
Democratic candidate for president next
year, is revealed in a letter from Boston.
Gen. Olney's campaign is based on the
theory that he is in favor of imperialism
while opposed to annexation. The writer
of the letter referred to is a gentleman
who is very prominent in Democratic
politics, and he says that the movement
in Mr. Olney's favor is well under way
and that work is .being done with sys
tem. It is urged in his behalf that he,
though a gold Democrat in 1896, did not
make himself obnoxious to the free silver
element, and that on the expansion ques
tion he would be an available candidate,
being opposed to the annexation of dis
tant islands to the territory of the United
States. Mr. Olney's views on the acquisi
tion of foreign territory are very pro
nounced. He believes In the United
States striking with the c-ther nations of

MANILA, March 28.— Gen. Mac Arthur
and his army are resting on the plain
beyond Marilao, after three days' scramb
ling In the brush, fording rivers and
charging In the blazing sun. The men
are tired, but are in splendid spirits. On
approaching Bulacan, a town of twenty
five thousand people, he halted, prepara
tory to attacking it.
The engineers are repairing bridges, the
rebels having failed to destroy the iron
work, and the railroad is kept busy hur
rying supplies to the front. The country
to Malolos is level, with occasional
streams and patches of wood, but there
are no more jungles.
The American troops will advance at
daylight, taking four days' rations with
them, and having 200 rounds of ammuni
tion In their belts. They expect tolaiie
BoQave, on the railroad to the eat.t of
Bulacan, tomorrow. It is a difficult posi
tion, protected by streams.
The American line is about 1,200 yards
from that of the rebels. Desultory shots
were exchanged today. The American re
ports show that twenty men were killed
and sixty-one wounded on our side yes
terday. The Dakota regiment lost ten
men killed, and had thirty-seven wound
ed. According to prisoners in the hands
of the Americans, Aguinaldo's generals,
Garcia, Tofreo and Pacheco, were with
the Filipino army yesterday, and drove
their followers into the first aggressive
demonstration. The rebels attempted to
charge across the plain east of the rail
road, but the Americans charged to meet
them, and the Filipinos bolted after a
few shots, leaving several men killed on
the field.
HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
The Filipino prisoners further declare
that the rebels have lost all taste for
fighting and that their officers have to
keep them in line by beating them with
swords.
One of the most brllliarft and costly
achievements of the campaign was the
charge of Maj. Howard's battalion across
the river. Advancing at the double
quick, they found the river beneath them
and splashed across with a yell, swim
ming and wading, with bullets spattering
in the water, and rushed upon th ■ r.bel
trenches. Ten men were killed and elev
en were wounded in the charge.
At the capture of Marilao there were
several incidents showing the bravery of
our troops. Some Filipinos were en
trenched on an island in a bend of the
river. The Americans approached in a
triangular formation, with the Third ar
tillery in the apex, and the Kansas and
Pennsylvania regiments forming the
sides. Col. Fungton called for volunteers
to swim the river. Two men crossed un
der fire and secured materials with which
a crossing was eventually effected. Maj.
Bell, of Gen. Mac Arthur's staff, with
Company I, of the Pennsylvania regiment,
and Lieut. Abernethy and ten men en
gaged in similar exploits.
SHOT WHILE RUNNING.
After the Filipinos had raised the white
flag many of them attempted to run, and
several were shot for so doing. In the
churchyard of Marilao the Americans
found forty newly made graves of Fili
pinos, and a dozen bodies were seen
drifting down the river, with gruesome
wounds. The. prisoners are digging their
former comrades' graves. Many huts are
smoking ruins, having been burned by
their inhabitants. The Americans are not
burning any buildings.
Our troops captured four Spaniards who
were fighting with the insurgents.
Gen. Mac Arthur was under a heavy fire
yesterday.
The prisoners say Agulnaldo has declar
ed that if the Americans can take the
Filipino capital, he will surrender.
HEAT IS INTENSE.
The heat is intense, being 90 degrees on
the coast and fully 100 degrees in the in
terior. It made the Americans suffer a
great deal. In spite of the heat, how
ever, every man is eager to proceed to
wards the enemy.
A detachment of ninety-six Filipino
prisoners was escorted into Manila to
day. Their appearance caused great in
terest, as they were marched from the
railroad depot to the prison.
The rebels have unloaded about 500 men
from a train half a mile in front of Gen.
