Manila, April u, 6:10 p. m.-General
Wheaton started at daylight with the
Tenth Pennsylvania and the Second
Oregon regiments and two guns to drive
the rebels from the American right
flank between the railroad and the foot
hills. He met with slight resistance
near Santa Maria, and had one man
wounded But the enemy bolted when
sheIled by the artillery, and burned and
abandoned the town of Santa Maria,
where a thousand rebels were reported
to have been concentrated. sDuring the
rest of the day the enemy was in full
retreat towards the mountains, burn
ing the villages behind the retreating
force.
Occasionally a few of the rebels
dropped TO the rear and fired at the
advancing American troops from the
jungle, apparent With the idea that
this would check ( advance and cover
the retreat of The hipinos. But, find
ing these tactics Intellectual, these reb-
els scrambled after the main body.
The American guard along the rail-
road has been materially strengthened,
and it is not likely the rebels will sue
coed in getting in the future to as close
quarters as they did yesterday, even
if they return from the mountains.
