TWO OF ORR MEN KILLED
Then. about five o'clork came n hreak In
the DAYS monotony II came almost simuI
taneously at both ends of tho limo Whollv's
men had gone in so close 70 t,niuta that thew
could sre the insurgents I'm the trenches
quite plainly They estimated thar the enemy
must have force of ahou, , tbnuA ma nen
defending Cainta. with uropablv n strong
reserve at Taytay, lust about A mile beyond.
Cainta was well rntrenchcd ns in fact are
all the insurgont rnsitions and our fellows
could sec tho rrheIs running along hnhind
their parapets Every once in n while the
Fiipinos tried the efficiency Of hawking AT the
Americans They had hoard and seen tho

for lew minutes 1t was very lively The
INSURGENTS ran up ana down behind the for

eood me, ana II caught two OF our men and
killed them both Each man got his bullet

down with no other proectiOn than the little

were permitted 10 reply to the in
surscnts soon settled the business.
When our men are shooting it is very
unWise and unsafe for an insurgent to get
his head about the cover of his rile-pit. The
insurgents soon gave II up. and our men hi
Vouacked where they were without molesta-
tion during the night. In fact, as the morn
ing showed, the insurgents spent the night
IN winning great moral victory by "avoid-
ing the enemy as Aguinaldo says.

But it took Col. Summers very short time
to have a battalion going up each OF the
side hills white he himself with the other
battalion was busting IN the hill in front.
The immediate result was that the insur-
gents concluded not 70 stoy Mt the marty.
and ran away 1t probably was only the
roar guard ANYWAY az all the other indica-
lions Of the day we're to the effect that the
main body had got away. We had half-a-
dozen casualties in this little brush but
were unable TO ascertain what happened to
tho other fellows AS n usual thing they
leave about three times as many dead on
the field as We have total casualties and We
never can RELY on the reports we get as to
the number Of dead and wounded carried
on nv thom Their percentage OF wounded
is much smaller than ours surely, for two
reasons; first our men shoot more accurate-
" than theirs, and our arms and ammuni-
tiOn are much better, and second our fGl-
