minds. Tho resnonso was leouio ami

column was 'swinging toward tho town
of Pasig, tho left advanced, pouring
volleys into tho buth.
A small! body of refcels mado a de
termined stand at Gundnlupo church,
but waa uunublo to withstand tho as
sault. At 7:30 a liver gunboat started to
ward PnBig. The rebels woro llrat on
counterod by thia vessol in tho junglo
near Guadalupo. Steaming slowly
tho gunboat poured a terrifio lire from
her gatling guna into tho brush. For
hi) hour t.io whirling of tho rapld-llro
guna alternated with tho booming of
the heavier pieces on board.
In tho mcantimo Scott'a battery
nshoro waa shelling tho tronchea and
driving the enemy bck. Tho artillery
then advanced to the bridgo of bamboo
and drove n few of tho enemy 'a sharp
shooters away with volleys from their
carbines, Tho artillery then advanced
and met with no opposition.
Tho infantry had boon sent forward
in extended order, tho Washington j
regiment resting on tho bnnk of the
river, each regiment deploying on J
reaching a station and furnishing its
own support. The entire column
wheeled toward tho rivor, driving the
enemy toward his support and thon ad
vancing on Guadalupe. Tho artillery
moved to a ridgo commanding Paaig and
Pateroa. Ky thia time tho enemy was
in full flight along a lino over a mile
long, and tho firing was discontinued
temporarily, in order to givo tho troops
a rest before making tho attack on
Paaig. Tho enemy's loss waa believed
to bo aovere, but only eight Americans
were wounded at thia stago of tho en
gagement. It waa raining heavily.
After a short rest, General Wheaton
resumed the attack on Pasig. Scott'a
battery, supported by two companiet
ot the Twentieth regiment, advanced
on Guadalupe by the road along the
river bank, the remainder of the Twen
tieth regiment and the Twenty-second
tegiment following with the reserve of
Oregon volunteers.
At 11:30 A. M. the column camo in
contact with the enemy, and the gun
boat steamed to the firing lino and
cleared the jungle on both sides whilo
the battery took up a position on a bluff
at tho right. The first shot from tho
Amerioan field pieces nt 1,200 yards'
range dislodged a gun of tho ouemy at
PaBig. After the town hod been
shelled the Twentieth regiment linod
up on tho bluff and tho Twenty-second
took up a position on tho left of tho
place, with tho cavalry in the center,
whereupon the enemy retreated to tho
town. The gunuoat then moved into
a bend opposite, and a hot firo on the
rebel position was maintained along
tho whole American lino until 2:20
P. M., when preparationa woro mado
for the attack.
