men of the Oregon and Kansaa regi

Twenty-third infantry, stretched out
along the railroad from CaWan to the
Tuliadan river, was powerleu to prevent
the withdrawal, owing lo the natural
ohflUflre and to the strong opposition.
A column of smoke at daybreak was the
first intimation of the enemy's intention,
hut others followed at various point', all
soon Mending in a dense balloon shafted

mills and large building could be plainly
seen from Calocaa, despite the strong
sunlight.

Ii y II o'clock iii the morning the only

the center ol the town, was a lare stone
church, but even at noon freflh fires were
started smong the native hula in the
outskirts ol Malabou, although the
general exodus took place much earlier.
Many ol the rebels look reluge in the
suburb, Navotas and Caag, or were
driven inland by the shells of the Helena,
Csllao, Ningdapan and l-aguna de Bay.
In the meantime Ueneral Wheaton's
brigade held the railroad to the river,
but was unable either to repair the
bridge, which had been destroyed by the
enemy, or to advance, owing to the op
poMitionand the hills on the other aide.
The calculations of both General Hale
and General Harrison Gray Otis, whose
brigades t-omdituted General .Mac Ar

delayed, though the right wing of the
division swung out, sweeping the enemy
in a northwesterly direction.
Ueneral Wheaton's headquarters last
night were a half mile south of the river
on the railroad. The opposite bank was

While this was going on the Second
Oregon regiment crossed the river on
the left and the Twenty-second on the
right, with four companies ol the Twent
third infantry Bupiorting the latter regi
ment. A rising clear ground stretched
away a distance ol half a mile to Malinta,
situated on its creeU In front ol the
village were strong Filipino intrench
menta, but no Filipinos were to be seen.
Apparently, they had tied. The Twenty
second regiment approached diagonally,
with General Wheaton and his stair close
behind and scouts closely observing the
ground.
When the Americans were within
about 300 yards of the intrenchmenta the
Filipinos suddenly volleyed heavily
The Twenty-second, which was holding
the center, fullered considerably, but
with the Oregonians on the left and the
Kansas on the right in the woods, the
lighting was kept up for half an hour,
the Twenty-second infantry advancing
up the slope through the thick grass
under the hottest fire.

Maxila, March 20, S:l A. M.
Twenty-six dead and 1-VJ wounded io a
hospital is the latest .statement of the
American luaeee in the engagement with
the Filipinos. Today'- fighting fur
nished a specimen of the dilli:ulties with
which the Alnelican have to contend.
The Filipinos never, except at Malaboo,
irn)itted their opponents to get within
several hundred yards of them. They
would fire a lew volleys Irora their cover
a'.d then scuttle bock to another cover,
repeating these tactics tor miles. Many
ol the trenches had gullies and connect
ing paths through the 'cane and brash,
enabling them to retreat unseen.
The problem the Americans have to
face is to drive or lure the insurgents to
fight in force.
The trenches seem thinly rr.snned, ex
cept in the vicinity of Malabon.
The Americans, fighting a hidden foe,
suflVred greater loss in proportion than
t,,e eD'ny
The loss of the Filipino)
had formerly been estimated from the
number of bodies found scattered in the
swamp and through the brush. A
larger percentage ol the enemy's
wounded died than of the Americans,
many of them perishing from neglect,
the Americana naturally attending their
own men first.
The wounded, after treatment in the
field hospitals, were brought to the hos
pital by train. Several trips were made
from Catocan to the citv. The first load
to start for the city was composed largely
of bandaged soldiers, who shouted:
"Give them hell, boys."
The gunboat Helena and two army
boats command Malabon, but the au
thorities desire to avoid smashing the
town, where there is much valuable
property belonging to toreigners, and
where are located warehouses of most ol
the Manila firms.
The report ol the surrender of the
town of Polo is erroneous.
reparation for the Advance.
Manila, March 25, 8:45 P. M. The
American advance began at an early
hour this morning. Elaborate prepara
tions were made for the movement.
General Wheaton's brigade was placed
in the rear, and tho-te of Generals Harri
son Gray Otis and Hall were massed be
hind that of General Hale. Under the
cover of darkness, General Otis' and
General Hale's brigades left their
trenches and advanced close up to the
enemy's line without being detected,
General Wheaton's and General Hall's
brigades occupying the vacated positions.
At 4 o'clock the American troops
breakfasted, and the Filipinos noticing
the camp fires, their bulge rs called to
arms. At dayligtit ueneral Utis and
General Hall's brigades advanced from
La Loma church straight through the
rebel lines, cutting the enemy's force in
two. Upon this occasion the rebels
adopted the American tactics of holding
their fire until the attackers were about
1000 yards distant. The rebels also con
tinued their fire longer than usual. The
Americans fired volleys with terrific
effect, and then rushed forward cheer
ing and carrying everythinglbefore them.
Ouce through, General MacArthur's
division was Bwung through the line,
driving the rebels away on all sides.
Movements ol Wheaton's Brigade.
General Wheaton's brigade, in accord
ance w ith instructions, remained in the
trenches. Before joining in the move
ment at noon, General Wheaton'a troops
developed a strong opioition between
Malabon and (he river Talighan.
The brigades commanded by 0 moral
Harrison ity Otis and General Hale
advanced on Novaliclms and Polo,
strongly entrenched towns. In the
meantime, Goneral Hall's brigade switpt
the country clear to the waterworks an I
(he loothill of Hiriglon, capturing Han
Francisco del Monte and Marl'iulria.
5;.Vi P, M. Late in the afternoon the
Montana regiment and the Third artil
lery had crowed the Talighan riyer. go
ing lo a northwesterly direction toward
Polo, and General MacArthur, with th
remainder ol General Otis' and General
Hale's brigades, were moying along
south of the river In a portion to attack
either Novsliches, or Polo, being within
two miles of N'ovaliches, and five miles
from Polo. General Hall's brigade
moved to Balac, protecting Ueneral
Hale's right, meeting with strong opposi
tion. The Oregon regiment an 1 part of
the Utah battery held the extreme left.
The entrenchments nearest to Mala
boo suffered the m xit severe attacks, in
cluding a crossfire from the insurgents
massed at Malabon.
right at Blockhonaa.
The Montana regiment, near Balantao,
cameuoona blockhouse ditguised as
leper hospital, across the river, after
marching through the jungle. Four
men were killed ane 17 wounded.
(ieneral MacArthur's artillery was
hampered by the thickness of the jungle.
General MacArthur's and General Hale's
staff were frequently under a galling
fire, and opon one occasion all of the
officer excepting the generals dik
mounted, being overcome by the heat.
There were many prostrations daring
the day.
The loss of the enemy was heavier
than during any previous engagement.
New Yogi. March 2S A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila, dated Tuesday
says:
The gunboat Laguna de Bay attacked
the insurgents at Bulacan. Three
American were wounded. MacArthur's
division has crossed the Marilao river,
and is advancing northward.
The insurgents attacked the Ameri
cans last evening at Marliao, but were
repulsed with severe loss. Our loss was
five killed and fourteen wounded.
Later Garcia, a native general, came
down from Dagupan by train, with I00O
rifiemeo and 400) bolomen and took
positions at Marilao. A river was be
tween the American and the insurgent
forces.
The South Dakota volunteers and the
Third artillery, acting as infantry, were
thrown forward. The South Dakota
charged brilliantly across an open spice,
on the esst ol the railway to the edge of
some woods. They lost 10 killed and 11
wounded, including three lieutenant.
The third artillery on the right of the
railroad charged and lost nine wounded,
two mortally. s
On the left, the insurgents' trench, east
ol the river, made a stubborn resistance.
Lieutenant Critchlow, with two guns
ol the Utah battery, and lieutenant
Davis with navy colt gun, forced 30
insurgents in a long trench on the
opposite side of the river to surrender at
the close qnarters of 100 yards. The
rest ol the insurgents got out with severe
loss.
Ninety dead Insurgents were counted.
"Manila, March 27. MacArthur's
brigade holds Marilao. There was
severe fighting today and our casualties
number about 40. The insurgents have
destroyed the bridges, which impeded
the progress of oar train and artillery
Our troops met the concentrated insur
gent forces on the northern line, com
mended by Aguinuldj in person, and
drove them back with considerable
slaughter. They left nearly 100 dead on
the field and many prisoners and small
arms were captured. The column will
press on in the morning.
"Otis."
This and the press dispatches satisfied
the oill'ials that the strategy movement
of entrapping the insurgents between
our lines had not proved as successful as
designed, and thai the move had now
shifted to a retreat bv Aguiealdo's forces
and a pursuit by our troops.
