at Manila: In the severe fighting of

there was brilliant charge by the
South Dakota regiment, led by Colonel

were wounded. The loss of yesterday
was mostly confined to this regiment.
The partial destruction of the railroad,
which is being rapidly repaired, i'm
pedes McArthur's progress. Supply
trains have now reached Marilao and
Macarthur is pushing on. Our small
gunboats are in the Bulacan river,
where great execution was done ,ester-
day. They will relieve the pressure on
McArthurs front materially. The troops
are in excellent condition and spirits.
| A proclamation signed by General Lu-
| ma, chief of the insurgent forces, directs
that all towns abandoned shall be
burned In consequence thereof, much
of the country to the north is in flames.

from Manila to the Journal to-day re-
ports that General McArthurs division,
after short rest, captured the city of
Marilao and took up the advance to-
ward Malolos at $3.50 this morning. The
immediate objective point was Bocave,
five miles north of Marilao. The Fill
pino prisoners taken yesterday, accord
ing to the Journals dispatches, in
formed the Americans that Aguinaldo
would make last grand stand at NAL
olos, and, if defeated, would make no
further resistance.
BRILLIANT AMERICAN CHARGES.
Manila, March 2S.-The gunboat La
guna de Bay attacked the insurgents at
Bulacan, where three Americans were
wounded. McArthur's division has
crossed the Marilao river, and is ad-
vancing northward. The insurgents at
tackled the Americans last evening at
Marilao, but were repulsed with severe
ri IA
wounded. Later, Garcia, native gen
eral, came from Dagupan by train with
1000 rifemen and 1000 Bolo men, and
took positions along the Marilao river,
which was between the American and
nsurgent forces. The South Dakota
volunteers and Sd artillery, acting as in
fantry, were thrown forward. The
South Dakotans charged brilliantly
across the open space east of the rail-
way to the edge of the woods. They lost
10 killed and II wounded, including
three lieutenants. The Sd artillery on
the right of the railroad, charged, and
lost nine wounded, two mortally. On
the left the insurgents intrenched east
of the river made stubborn resistance.
Lieutenant Critchlow, with two guns of
the Utah battery, and Lieutenant Da-
Wis, with navy Colt gun, forced 30 in
surgents in a trench on the opposite
close quarters of 100 yards. The rest of
the insurgents got out with severe loss.
Ninety dead insurgents were counted.
SUFFERING FROM HEAT.
The heat, at 80 degrees on the coast,
is fully 100 degrees in the interior, which
made the Americans suffer great deal
In spite of the heat, however, every
man was eager to proceed toward the
enemy. A detachment of 96 Filipino
prisoners was escorted into Manila to-
day. Their appearance aroused great
interest as they were marched from the
railroad depot-t to the prison. The rebels
unloaded about 500 men from train
half mile in front of General Near
thurs forces to re-enforce Filipino gar
risons at Bulacan and Guiguinto, on
either side of the railroad leading to
Malolos. The railroad being in opera
tion from here to our front, facilitates
Before the break in the road was re-
paired transportation of supplies was
very uncertain. All Is quiet in front Of
the lines of Generals Ovenshine and
Hail. The battalion Of the California
regiment, which has been landed at
Enrique, on the island Of Negros, was
received with every manifestation of
joy on the part OF the natives. The
