The American dead were buried next
day in the Convent of Maracaban. No
attack has yet been made on the Span
ish line. but the Americans now oc-
cupy the trenches formerly held by the
insurgents.
Although the engagement scarcely
attained the Importance of battle, it
thoroughly tested the quality of the
United States troops and had an ex-
cellent effect, stimulating their zeal
and enthusiasm, and inspiring them
with confidence.
The Spaniards, whose losses in the
engagement are not known, are adopt
ing tactics intended to irritate the
Americans. Every night they main
tain an annoying fire. They have now
got the true range of the earthworks,
and their shell and shrapnel fire is
very accurate.
General Macarthur's brigade, which
arrived Sunday, is landing today
through the heavy surf. Nothing more
serious than a thorough wetting has
occurred as yet, although the opera
tion is not without considerable dan
ger. Hardly any cases of sickness are
reported.
The insurgents rendered no assist
ance. but retreated on the first shot
1t is believed that General Aguinaldo
aware of the Spanish intentions, moved

A SPANISH ROUT.
American Troops i'm the Philip
pines Attacked at Night.
ELEVEN AMERICANS KILLED.
Brave Tenth Pennsylvania Men
Under a Whitening Fire.
BATTLE IN A RAGING TYPHOON.

Spanish Rage at the Arrival of Fresh
Reinforcements Led Them to Attack the
American Trenches Between Cavite and
Manila - Insurgents Took No Hand.
Americans Now Occupy the Trenches
Formerly Held by the Insurgents.
Cavite, Manila Bay, Aug. 4, via
Hong Kong, Aug. 10.-The first she'd
ding OF Aemrican blood on Philippine
soil took place Sunday night. when IL
were killed and Al wounded during
skirmish at the Malate trenches. be-
tween Cavite and Manila.
General Greene's force, numbering
1000 men, had been advancing and en-
trenching. The arrival of the third ex-
pedition filled the Spaniards with rage.
and they determined to give battle be-
fore Camp Dewey could be reinforced.
The trenches extended from the beach,
800 yards to the left flank of the in
surgents.
Sunday was the insurgent feast day,
and their left flank withdrew, leaving
the American right flank exposed.
Companies A and e of the Tenth
Pennsylvania and the Utah battery
were ordered to reinforce the right
flank. In the midst of a raging ty-
phoon, with a tremendous downpour of
rain, the enemy's force, estimated at
5000 men, attempted to surprise the
camp. Our pickets were driven in and
the trenches were assaulted.
The brave Pennsylvania men never
fiinched, but stood their ground under
a withering fire. The alarm spread,
and the First California regiment,
with two companies Of the Third ar
tillery, who fight with rifles, were sent
TO reinforce the Pennsylvanians. The
enemy were on top of the trenches
when these reinforcements arrived
and never was the discipline OF the reg
ulars better demonstrated than by the
work of the Third artillery under Cap
tain O'Hara. Nothing could be seen
but flashes OF Mauser rifles. Men ran
right up to the attacking Spaniards
and moved them down with regular
volleys.
The Utah battery covered itself with
glory. The men pulled their guns
through mud axle deep. Two guns
were sent around in flank and poured
IN a destructive enfilading fire. The
enemy was repulsed and retreated In
disorder. Our infantry had exhausted
its ammunition and did not follow the
enemy. Not an inch of ground wai
lost, but the scene I'm the trenches was
one never to be forgotten.
During flashes OF lightning the dea(
and wounded could be seen lying IL
blood red water, but neither the ele
ments OF Heaven nor the destructiv,
power OF man could wiring a cry OF pro
test from the wounded. They encour
aged their comrades to fight and hand
cd over their cartridge belhs.
On the night OF Aug. the figh
was renewed, but the enemy had beer
taught q lesson, and made the attacl
at long lange with heavy artillery. Tn
Utah battery replied, and the artiller.
