Manila, Nov. 12--The landing Of the
American troops at San Fsbian Tues
day was the most spectacular affair Of
its kind since Gen. Skaters Gsem-
barkation at Daquari- The cO-Opera-
ton Of the troops and the navy was
complete The gunbOats maintained
d terrific bOmbardment for an hour,
while the troops rushed waist deep
through the surf, under a heavy but
badly aimed rife fire from the insur-
gent trenches, and charged right and
left, pouring volley after volley at the
fleeing rebels Forty FilipinOs were
captured. mostly nOn-commissiOned
officers. Several insurgent dead and
five wounded were found in a building
which had suffered considerably from
the bombardment. The town was
well fortified. The sand dunes were
rivetted with bamboo 20 feet thick,
which afforded a fine cover.
