FILIPINOS PREPARE
FOR A GREAT BATTLE
Insurgents Make a Vicious Assault
On American Trenches.

Manila, May 10.-The Filipino Cen
eral Mascardo's army. inspired by wine
taken from the storehouses of Bacolor
and by the generals oratory on Monday
evening, attacked San Fernando. There
was tremendous yelling and a great eX-
penditure of cartridges by the rebels,
but very little result.
General Mascardo holds the outskirts
of Bacolor, west of the railroad. In
front of his position are the Kansas and
Montana regiments, which occupy
trenches that the Filipinos built in an
ticipation OF an attack from the direc-
ton of the sea.
During the afternoon of Monday Cen
eral Mascardo, with a large retinue of
officers, rode along the lines, frequently
stopping 10 harangue his warriors. AT
dusk detachment of rebels rushed to-
wards the outposts of the Montana regi-
ment. but were met by a hot fire from
the Montana regiment line. The in
surgents from trenches nearly three
miles long, responded. After an hours
firing, during which one private soldier
Of the Montana regiment was wounded,
the insurgents subsidized. although they
kept up a scattering fire throughout
the night.
Prisoners who were brought into the
American lines said that General Mas
cardo distributed barrels of wine among
his soldiers, telling them that he eX-
pected to capture the city of San Fer
nando. The trenches undoubtedly
saved the Americans from heavy loss,
the bullets falling thick about them
during the engagement.
