Pennsylvania regiments and the Third
artillery kept along the right of the rail
road.
The enly effective stand made 10y the
rebels was at the bamboo and eaIIhen
work, half q mile from MalolOs. and on
the right, where the Nebraska regiment,
as was the case yesterday, had the hard.
est work and suffered the greatest loss.
Colonel Funston, always at the front,
was the iirst man in Malolos, followed 10y
group Of dashing kansans.
The filipinos flag lying from the cen
ter OF the town, was hauled down by
some men OF tho Montana regiment, who
raised their own above II.
From the column OF smoke arising
from the city, II seemed IA II the whole
place was ablaZe. IL turned out, how.
ever, that only the presideDcia OF gov
eminent building and few smaller
buildings had been fred by the rebels
before they evacuated
From reports gathered from prisoners
II IL believed that the rebel army is con-
stantly losing strength on account of
desertions and although the enemy may
make one or two more stands the forces
of AeuiDaldO will degenerate In perhaps
month 10 a few hundred who may con
linue waging guerrilla warfare In the
mountains.
The American troops behaved splen.
didly; they advanced steadily against
successive lines OF trenches, through
woods and jungles, suffering from the
| frightful heat. In addition the American
volunteers were handicapped by the fact
that th ir Springfield rides are Of shorter
range than the Mauser T. hes OF the
rebels, Under these circumstances the
steady advance OF our troops Is really a
remarkable achievement. But the most
noteworthy feature OF this onward sweep
OF ihe Americans IL the patienca and en-
durance of the private soldiers. They
never hesitated TO plunge across difficult
country against any number OF the
enemy In the face OF positions Of entirely
| unknown strength.
