Washington, March 20.?The following dispatch has been received at the war department this evening : Manila. March 20.?Adjutant General, Washington: McArthur's advance beyond Newcanayan, two miles beyond Polo, nine miles from Manila, and 15 miles from Malolos; railroad will be prepared to advance point tomorrow and the troops will be supplied hv cars. McArthur will press on tomorrow; is now in open country. Insurgents stoutly resisting behind succeeding lines of entrenchments, from which troops continually drive them. City perfectly quiet and native inhabitrnts appear to be relieved of anxiety and fear of insurgents. i^apiain ivrayennun, conimuaary, lieutenant 3d artillery, mortally wounded. Manilla, March 27?7 :40 a. m. ? the Americans have advanced along the line of the Dagupan railroad, driving the Filipinos from Malinta and Newcanayan, where there were 3,000 inh&bi' tants. Last night the brigades of Gen. II. G. Otis and Gen. Hale encamped in the enemy's trenches at Newcanayan and that of Gen. Wheaton at Malinta. Gen. Wheaton's brigade formed a junction with thd remainder of Geo. Mc Arthur's division at Malinta and the two, leaving Gen. Wheaton there, marched along the railroad to Newcanayan. This place was fortitied and for twelve hundred yards from it there wore trenches on each side of the track. These were taken possession of by the American troops. The movement of the Americans will be pushed in this direction. The Filipinos, realizing that the railroad is the crucial line, have constructed row after row of trenches, running diagonally on both sid?s of the track at a distance of a few hundred yards apart. This work was designed most intelligently and has evidently been under the direction > of experts. It represents an enormous amount of labor. Most of the rebel position are protected by thick earthworks, a majority of them topped with stones and provided with loopholes. Some have sheet iron roofs. The day's work of the United States troops consisted of storming the successive trenches. The Filipinos occupying them were completely hidden. The enemy poured a strong fire from every trench until they were disturbed by a flanking volley, when they would disappear into the woods and jungle, only to make a stand at the next line. The American loss war remarkably small, seven being reported killed and twenty five wounded. It is known that the Filipinos were so protected that they suffered little, wo dead insurgents were found in the trenches. Forty prisoners were taken by the Americans, and it is estimated that the rebel casualties numbered twenty. The insnrgents broke their guns when they were compelled to abandon them. what 18 said in london. Loudon, March 27.?The Philippine campaign of late had rather lost interest for British readers. but to-day there is an entire change. All the dispatches are printed promptly and at length. Most of the papers contain editorials expressing admiration for the bravery of the American troops and sympathy with them in the difficulties they have encountered. The general opinion is 1I..1 A. I A ' - 111 it i nits ;\mHrican victories aie ' not conclusive, since the Filipinos ' have not yet learned the lesson of i the hopelessness of resisting the ! United States. The Standard says : 4,The Americans are fighting the rebels with a dash and vigor that are in marked contrast to the faltering blows aimed at them by the Spanish generals. Englishmen will read with sympathy of the successive charges of the American infantry across the open in j the face of a heavy fire. Work l such as this lias had to be done j times without number in the j course of our own empire-makine." The Daily Telegraph says : "All the accounts show that the Americans will have to bear their full share of the 'white man's burden.' The experience the United States are gathering to day is that of every Power which has sought to found an empire beyond its own shores," The Daily News : "The ultimate results can hardly be doubted, but strategically, Manilla is still threatened." The Daily Chronicle says: "All ; America has to guard against is 1 guerilla warefare, and the only way to do that is to drive roads through the heart of the country and to pen the insurgents in corners from which they cannot escape." The Dally Mail, remarking upon the "improved tactics of the Filipinos," who in many cases seem to have better arms than the Americans, says: "We now see the results of sending an army into the field imperfectly organized and improperly armed."

The papers describe the insurgents meeting with the American forces at various points, and end their accounts with the assertion that the Americans re tired to their original lines after suffering great slaughter.

Doctors UNGASTER ENTERPRISE Published Every Wednesday and Saturday HY The Enterprise - Publishing - Company A. J. CLARK Editor. One Year, $ 1.00 Six Months, 50 cts Three Months 25 cts In Advance. Wednesday. March 21>. Did The Board of Directors Do Their Duty ? The investigating committee took a recees after its session Saturday, until June loth, when it will take up new lines and visit the State farm. The chief development at Saturday's meeting was the item of stable rent charged up to the Penitentiary by Col. Neal. In 1S90 he drew $120.00 in a lump for stable rent and every month since that time has drawn $10.00 per month and the Hoard has been in absolute ignorance of it. r.. i-: _ ? i ? in his evnience cnairman runninghnm of tho hoard of directors said ' "that he never looked at the prison pay roll on which this $10 for stable rent was placed by Cononel Neal's order. He could I have found that the State was paying for tho stable rent by looking at the payroll. He admits over confidence and suboflicer's check being thought to be all requisite. The horses were kept at Colonel Neal's for convenience. Ho said there was plenty of room to have kept them in the penitentiary. Tho horses were fed by the State and belonged to the penitentiary. The following paragraph from an editorial in Sunday's Green ville News is to the point and very appropriately puts part of tlie blame where it rightly belongs. If the Board of Directors ' ' done their duty probably th# would not have been the this Case. lan's word or assurance ,\ ' & ' La : ' \ V 1 ought to be taken in such matters. Those who are appointed to watch should watch, no matter who it is they are watching or how firmly they may believe in his honesty. The same rule applies in small and in great affairs. No man should be trusted with the handling of the money or goods ol* others without careful super vision. It a man is thoroughly honest he does not, object to being watched and checked up and required to explain everything and count his cash and make it balance to a cent. Many a man who means no harm is made dis honest by the absence of watching. If Colonel Neal had been held to strict account month by month, it he had known that all his transactions would be closely scrutinized, he would not have yielded to the temptation to use the credit, money and property of the State to enrich himself." The Charleston grand jury is still hard at work on tliePinkney murder case. A number of new witnesses have been examined. but there in nothing authontic as to what cities liave been abtained from thein. = The second South Carolina Regiment will le mustered out at Savannah instead of Columbia.

JUDUKSAMEKLMELTON i? nun mi aukk. Columbia's Croat Criminal Lawyer Dies in Charleston. Charleston, S. C., March 25.? Ex-United States Circuit Judge Samuel WiclifF Melton died at the.home of his son, United Sates Marshal L. D. Melton, in this city at 7:45 o'clock to-night. Judge Melton was born in this State in 1830 and was, in his prime, one of the most learned lawyers and eloquent speakers South Carolina hasever produced. lJe was at various times in his political career attorney general of South Carolina, United States district attorney for this State and United States circuit judge. After the war he joined the Republican party and consequently lost the chance of the preferment which would probably have come to him when the Democrats reivned control. An an orator he had few equals, and hid name was associated with many celebrated cases in the courts of the State. Some months ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis and has been in a critical condition of health ever since that time. We have saved many doctor btfls since we began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in our home. We keep a bottle open all the time and when r?t-i nujr in nijr iniuiijr iir illjnrn DCgin to catch cold we begin to use the Cough Remedy, and as a result we never have to send away for a doctor and incur a large doctor bill, for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy never fails to cure. .It is certainly a medicine of great merit arid worth.?D. 8.
