The attack of the insurgents upon the railway north of Manila indicated to the war department officials that while General MacArthnr was pushing north bodies of insurgents took to the mountains and jungles to the right of the railway and have been watching an opportunity to capture the road at some point and thus cutoff the main body of the army to the northward. The repulse of the natives shows that they had not sufficient force to acconr plish their purpose. COLLAPSE OF A BRIDGE. Four Workmen Meet Death and Six are Seriously Injured. New York, April 13.

Santa Cruz was the Filipinos' stronghold in Lake La Gnna Bay, and it fell into tho hands of General Lawton's expedition after some sharp, quick firing, fojming one of the most interesting and important battles of the war. The 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, commanded by General Lawton, on account of the illness of General King, partly surrounded the city, while the gunboats La' Guna de Bay, Oesta, and Napidan, under the command of Captain Grunt of the Utah battery, shelled the city and outlying trenches. General Lawton and his staff accompanied the troops, sometimes leading charges in Indian fighting tactics, which eventuslly resulted in the complete rout of the rebels with the smallest amount of damage to the city and slight loss to the Americans. l, ht RIOT AT PANA.

An lea gorge in the Yellowstone river at thii point caused the stream to overflow, drowning fonr persons. Eight mors are missing; three spans of the steel bridge are washed out, causing a lost of $35,000; the Northeu Pacific tracka are inundated and possibly washed away for some distance, and the loss ta liye stock by drowning will involve a large sum. The dead persons are: Mrs. R. W. Snyder, wife of a rancher; Miss Nellie Reagan, her niece; Miss Rose Wybrecht, a visitor to the Snyder ranch; Eugene F. O'Connor. The missing are: James Sullivan, wife and six children. The ice began moving at 7:30 o'clock in the evening, and continued to flow until 9:30, when It formed a gorge. The Snyder party, noticing the backwater, started for the Northern Pacific tracks, hoping' thus to escape drowning, but before they covered half the distance the water was waist deep and they took refuge in a tree. O'Connor was the first to be washed from the tree, Mrs. Snyder the second and Miss Wybrecht third. A huge piece of ice struck the tree and broke it It two, carrying of Miss Reagan.

Brigadier General F ty Stone, who has just returned from l'orto Rico, where he took a ten days' journey through the interior, declares there is much distress snd actual starvation in Porto Rico. The general was attached to the department of agriculture before the war, and during hostilities lie was in Porto Rico as a member of General Mile's staff. This last trip was made with a party of capitalists and railroad men. He was also invited by Henry to give advice concerning the construction of roads through the Major-Gener- al islands. People are dying of starvation all through the interior, said General Stone. In the district of Aguas lianas there were many deaths. The judge in the district of Comerio showed me a book in which ho had recorded the names of many who died from lack of food. General Grant reported thirty-nin- e deaths from starvation in one district. I saw hundreds of natives emaciated and weak. When I left Porto Rico there were 100,000 persons there who had neither bread nor meat for two weeks. "The state of affairs is largely due to the short coffee crop and the ruinous competition of Brazil.
