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.

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.

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.
