FILIpINoS ROUTED.
Fierce Fighting Follows the Advance
Movement of American Troops.

The fereest fighting and the most inpor-
tant movement in the Manila campaign was
begun at 3 O'Clock on Saturday morning.
March %, when the Americans made strong
advance against the insurgents. in accordance
with a prearranged plan. The start was
from Laloma, and McArthur's Division led
the advance. This division was made up of
Otis's Brigade of the 81 Art, Goth Kan and
1st Mont, and Hale's Brigade of the 1st s.
D., 10tl Pa. and 1st Neb. Gen. Wheaton
began operations from Caloocan, seven miles
north of Manila.
The theater OF the fighting was sort of
rectangle with Malate as its southwest cor
ner, Pasig the southeast. Novalicles the
northeast, and Polo the northwest corner.
Malate ami Polo being on the shores of
Manila Bay. According to Gen Otis. the
plan was for Mch arthur TO swing around to
the left after reaching Novaiches, and strike
north of Polo. While he was doing this,
Wheaton was TO move north in the direction
of Polo. Thus the two would concentrate
at Polo, if possible. 1t was the intention to
have Mcstrthur cut of the northern line of
retreat of the rebels and force the insur-
gents back toward Manila, right into the
front of Wheaton's forces. Halls Brigade

bon. Eight men were killed and % mer
wounded here.
They were reinforced by pa of the Sd
Inf, under Capt. Cook. The enemy were
forced to retreat upon Malabon, the Ameri.
cans pursuing them into the town. A mile
beyond CaIoocan Gen. Wheaton encountered
and defeated a strong force on the banks Of
the Tuliaha, and they retired to Malinta.
Gen. Otis reported % killed and several score
wounded, while the Filipinos lost in killed
about 200.
On Sunday by gallant work part OF the
23d Inf closed the gap between the left OF
McArthurs Division and the right of Whea-
tons command. The only direction left for
the insurgents to move was noIthward and
northwestward when retreat became neces-
sary. The swamp and jungles made the ad-
vance very difficult. The enemy fought
guerrilla style, not having the protection of
the trenches, and at home in the country
they proved no despicable enemy, buoyed up
as they were by the false reports of their
leaders about the terrible losses inflicted on
the Yankees.
From SIX miles east of Polo II. G. Otis and
Hale advanced westward The enemy burned
Malahon and moved up to their main body.
The Oregon regiment passing Malabon, swung
around and attacked Malinta. Gen. Whea-
tons troops moving confidently forward, at
apparent signs of evacuation, were attacked
when they had reached the far end of the
town. Our men were not dismayed, how
ever, and though under terrible fire. re-

Pennsylvania and appointed First Lieuten-
ant in the Army from civil life, Sept. %.

burg, but escaped and rejoined his command :;
and was severely wounded June 3, 1864, in

at the close of the day had reached a point
two miles beyond Polo, nine miles from Ma

The advance on the insurgent Capital

burned the villages on the way. The fight

SLOW but steady.

dog rush. Slowly and warily, and
with all his back hair bristling, he ap-
preached the tree obliquely, then sud-
denly made a spring, but recoiled as if
he had encountered the business-center
of sausage machine. The rough-and-
tumble fight had not lasted more than
six seconds, but long enough to rip the
dogs snout in as many different direc-
tions.
"What did l tell you? She's in full
working ordcr!" cried Jack Nunez.
"Just look at her! She's awake, now,
l warn you"
CAT BECOMES THE FAvoRITE.
The cat had taken post on a gnarled
root, and stood erect, bristled up to
twice her normal size.
"Yes; but now watch the dog"
chuckled Bexar; he isn't asleep either,
is he; there he goes"
Back, you mean," laughed Nunez.
"Whew! Look at his facet" Cabrona
had made another rush, but the desper-
ate energy of those ripping claws had
repulsed him again.
"Bravo, lincote, garrale otro vez
Well done, cat! Betsl Bets Four
to two on the cat!" rose hubbub of
vociferations.
"That dog is going to win, after all, "
whispered the doctor; "that didn't
scare him one bit! By Jove, if I don't
believe he's going to try again this
very minute!
Even thus our Spanish moralist had
yielded to the contagion of the matanza-
fever, and was soon betting his pesetas
with the recklessness of an old arena
chuck. aTwo to one on the pupil"
he yelled, and had to yell, to get in a
bet edgeways, for just then Cabrona
made his third rush.
And this time Mrs. Lincote did not
have things all her own way. For
fully two minutes the catch-as-you-please
bout ragged around the tree, and once
the cat gave a screech that made her
stock tumble a yard below par; but
when Cabrona finally reeled back to
paw the dust out of his face, the cat had
got on her three legs again, and stood,
Kissing, bristled bigger than ever.
AN EXCITING MOMENT.
"Watch out she's loose r" shouted
Jack Nunez; "the dog jerked the rope
over her ears!
"That counts; his fault if he did,"
said the referee. "Stand to your places,
amigos. If she makes break and he
don't stop her 1 have to count him out.
"Hiss him on, then; give him ghost
Of a chance, will you," cried the doctor.
"Aye, Aye" indorsed plurality of
he crowd, and seeing his opportunity,
I'D man Bexar picked up his dog and
flung him bodily against the root of the
rec.
If he had knocked the cat down, the
referee would have had plausible pro-
est for interference, but Cabrona got On
lis legs in time to turn and face the
growing three-footer.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill n bottle or common glass with your

WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge SC often
expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish
in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kid
neys liver bladder and every part of the
urinary passage. 1t corrects inability TO
hold water and scaldins pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor, wine
or beer, and Overcomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and TO get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon real
lied. 1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. IL you
