The Filipino were driven in every di rection, and the country through which General Hall paaaed waa pretty thor oughly cleared np. At 10 o'clock thli morning the column reached a point a few rnilea from Taytay, where General I fall waa met by General Lawton.wbo had already entered the town and found It dnaerted. General If all's objective point ai A nil polo. 10 milea off, and there wat deaultory firing all along the line of march. The gunboata could be heard alielling the bills in advance of the column. The column, after driving the rebels from the foothills near Maria Chino, about noon yeaterdajr, with a loae of but ! two or three slightly wounded, proceeded with all possible haste toward Lagans del'.sy,the Fourth cavalry in the lead, the Oregon regiment next, and the Fourth infantry last. At 6 o'clock these revluients fought their second battle of the day, and it resulted like the first in the complete rout of a large Filipino force located in the mountaioi and hav ing every advantage of position. In this fight the American loss wss four killed, three of the Fourth cavalry and one Oiegonian, and about 15 wounded. The Filipino loss could not be ascertained, but the terriHc fire which the Americans poured into them (or half an hoar must have inflicted aevere loea. Orvgoa Hoys Make a Gallant Chare. In this engaemeht our troops made one of the most gallant charges of the war, and the enemy was forced to flee in the greatest disorder. It was the in tention to press on to Antipolo last night but this waa found Impossible owing to the two fights and the constant march ing lor more than 12 hours, with nothing to eat since morning, and no supply train in sight. ance would be made. Antipolo is a place far up the mountains which the Kpaniards had said the Americans could newr rapture. It has cost Hpsln the live of 300 troops. The progress of the column was con siderably delayed while paoeing up the staep mountain grade by a anall band of Insurgents, but these were effectually routed by the Fourth cavalry, which wss In advance, and the troops reached Antipolo in a few hours. Our lines were Immediately thrown around on three sides of the town, and then the final ad vance was made. Hut ft was found un necessary to fire a shot. Not a rebel was visible, and the town was entirely abandoned. Two hours Ister, after a conference be-1 tween General Lawton and General Hall the columns proceeded toward Morong to drive away any rebels found in that quarter. When the start was made for Antipolo in the morning, the Oregon regiment and the Ninth infantry were left behind as a rear guard, and there was consider able firing along their lines In clearing the enemy from the high bill bet seen their Dosition and the lake. Makila. June 6 The Second Oregon I being brought back to Manila to pre pare to embark on tne Iran porn for the journey home. The regiment is expected to lesve the last of the week, and will go direct to Portland, where it will be mustered out The inhabitants of Sn Teresa did not leave town, but met Hall's) brigade as friends. A large number of the natives passed through the American lines, re turning to Antipolo. - Hsll'a march waa very difficult and there were many caaea of proot ration of American soldiers by the heat The brigade arrived in Morong at 11 o'clock yesterday, and found that Colonel Wholley, with the First Washingtons, had captured the town the day before, killing 123 natives. The Napidan and Covadonga, the iron clads, shelled the place and were an swered by artillery fire. One shell was put through the Covadonga. A detachment of the Washington regi ment, while on a acouting expedition, lost one man killed one wounded, and killed one officer and four men of the in surgents. Aaaouaced bjr (Mia.

Oregon. IT IS WAllllANTED THE BEST suffered from the intense heat, many being prostrated, ami all greatly ex hausted. The cavalry, the Oregonisns and two companies of the Fourth infantry bad just crossed a small creek about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon and entered upon a sunken road, froai which they were emerging upon a email valley surround ed on all sides by high and heavily wooded hills, when the rebels, concealed in the mountains on the three tides of the plain, opened a hot fire, and sent showers of bullets into the ranks of the Americsns. Tiie latter deployed imme diately in three directions. Then fol lowed a charge serosa the rice fields and ditchea and np the hillsides, from which the shots came all the time pouring in a terrific bail, while the air resounded with the constant rattle of musketry. General Hail's advance was first mo mentarily halted aftet he bad crossed the first 'range of hills to the east of Monte, a town in the valley at the edge of the hills. The insurgents were driven out of the town and it was burned. The Second Oregon volunteers pocketed the Filipinos on three sides, and a brisk fight ensued. General Summers threw a battalion on each hill, and the Ameri cans chased the rebels tor some distance. The Oregon regiment lost three men killed and six wounded. It is impossi ble, on account of the terrific fighting and the condition of the signal wires, to get particulars. Not even the names have been sent to General Otis at this writing. The Fourth cavalry, being in front, suffered the severest bss when the at tack opened, two of their killed being sergeants and the other a private. The natives were unable to stand the vigor ous fire of the Americans long, and at the first sign of their wavering the caval ry, Oregonians and Fourth infantry men broke into wild cheers and charged still faster np the hillside, pouring volley after volley, until the enemy left the placea where they were partially con cealed by the thicket, fled over the sum mit in the wildest confusion and disap peared In the surrounding valleys. After the fight waa over, the tiring was continued by the Americans for more than an hour in clearing out the brush and driving out the straggling Filipinos. The troops, after camping for the night on the battle-field, started at 5 o'clock this morning for Antipolo whore It was expected a strong resist- is encamped at Morong. Major Tm man, marching a.-ross the Iiloangeao, found it impractiable to form a cordon, and the Insurgents, with the exception of a hundred or two, escaped through the mountains after General Plo del Pilar, dragging their battery by buffaloea at night. A few, however, may I trapped. The Washington troops have returnrd to Pasig, but the programme of the) other troops is uncertain. The present expedition shows the) dimcnltr which is encountered by an army which must depend upon wagon traina in catching bare-footed bandit in their own mountains, and also give proof that the rebels do not intend to fight battles. General Hall left San Teresa yester day morning and marched 12 milea to Morong, up and down rock hills and through woods and swamps. Scores of his men fell out owing to the extreme) best, and were left to follow as best they could. The hesd of the army arrived at Morong at noon, having exchanged only a few shots with insurgent skirmishers on the way. Groove of stragglers (' Ipwed all day, but the force was 200 smaller than when it started. The men were a! moat 36 boon without rations, and it was considerable of an achieve ment for them to cover the ground as they did. En route to Morong the Americana) met flocks of Filipinos with flags of truce, many of them young men with the bearing of soldiers. Msny discarded nniforma were found in the bouses, ap parently those of soldiers who bad escaped by changing their rostames from "insurecto" to "smigo," and walking boldly past the army which bad expected to corral them. Few were found about Morong. One member of the Washing ton regiment was killed and two wounded in the encounter with the outposts. General Lawton on board the gunboat, searching the coast for Msjor Truman, stopped at Binamronan, opposite Mor ong. The natives immediately ran op a flag of truce, but a delegation in canoea put off and greeted the Americans with the usual protestations of friendship. CAPTURE Or MOBONO.

The First California regiment wil be relteved by a regiment of regulars at an early date, and will follow the Orego nians. It is intended to send the First Colorado and the First Nebraska regi ments next. Lieutenant Fred Pierce, Sixth artillery committed suicide this morning. He came from Ilo Ilo a . week ago on leave, but lingered here beyond the limit, and failed 16 reply to repeated telegrams from his commander. Yesterday he was put under arrest on bis comman der's Older. This morning another officer called to see him, when he sad deuly pulled a revolver from under his pillow and shot himself through the heart. His friends say his mind was at-' footed by a recent sustroke. j A Spanish paper asserts that Colonel Arguelles, one of the two members of the orginal Filipino military commission, who were placed under arrest at Tarlac last month, after returning to Luna's camp from their conference with the United States commissioners, has been court-martialed and sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment for "friendship dis played toward the Americans.," Tbe rebel dictator has given orders that all the military forces discard their uniforms and wear ordinary white clothes, in order to deceive our army. Refugees are being refused admit tance to Manila, for fear there will be a scarcity of food. The rebels Saturday night made an at tack upon the friendly town of Macabebe after driving the inhabitants out and burning the town. The insurgents uightly annoy the troops at San Fernan do. Several Americans have been slinhtly wounded recently. The enemy have several Krupp guns, which they bring forward and use for firing large shells into the town, then re treating with their guns. One of the insurgent shells fell within 30 yards of General MacArthur's headquarters Sat urday evening. The American troops do not reply to the nightly outbreaks. Maxila. June 5, 1 :40 P. M. Two bat taliousofthe Washington troops under Colonel Wholley, on board cascoes, were) towed from Pasig to Morong Sunday and landed under cover a well-directed fire from the gunboata Napidan and Cova donga, Tbe rebels, who weie entrenched in tbe outskirts of the town, reserved their fire until tbe troops were ashore, and in tbe open. The American artillery opened fire on the insurgents, and drove them from their positions, killing nine of them and wounding five. The Wash ington troops then took the town, the rebels fleeing to the hills. While the Americans were on their wsy to Morong, the insurgents opened fire from a shore battery at Ancooa, their first shot striking the Covadonga's awn ing aft at a range of 3500 yards. The Napidan also waa fired at. ( Warhisgtox, June 5. President Mc Kinley is aware, through official and un official channels, that Aguinaldo is beg ging European and Asiastic powers to recognise the belligerency of the Filipi nos. He baa discussed this with Secre taries Hay and Hitchcock, the diplo matic members of his cabinet, and Sec retary Wilson. The president was ad vised by Professor Schurman and Gen eral Otis that Aguinaldo has no substan tial hope of foreign interference, but hia hope of recognition in order to force such terms of surrender aa - will atsist him to high ofliciat preference under the American administration of the Philippines. General Otis cabled last night that be would require 2400 troops at the earliest possible moment. In accordance ,with this cablegram, Colonel Ward, assistant adjutant-general, will dispatch from the Presidio at Sac Francisco 2400 recruits, who have been organised and well drilled as companies. Colonel Ward said today that these troops would be moved this week or early next week. The president, iu the meanwhile, is selecting from ti a regulars at home the remainder of the 6000 reinforcements asked for by Gen . Otis. KSCAPK OF TIIK REBFLS.
