Manila, Feb 10, 1880 p. m.-The
United States forces attacked and car,
ried Caloocan this afternoon. The ac-
tion was short and decisive, the enemy
being driven out with great loss.
At $40 p. m.-In anticipation of a
native uprising in this city, unusual
precautions were taken last night by
the American military authorities. For
tunately this proved unnecessary. The
Visayan commissioners arrested on the
Uranus, sailed for Ilolo yesterday with
the Tennessee regiment on board the
United States transport st. Paul. No
vessels have cleared from Manila for
Philippine ports since Saturday. Con-
sequently, no news has yet reached
outside points. The American line is
about the same as on Wednesday. On
the right, General Overshine's brigade
extends to the beach, two miles north
of Camp Dewey, and to the Pasig river

panies M and E, is stationed at Pasig
river, and extends thence to San Pedro
and Malate in complete line. Scout
ing parties of the Dakota regiment yes
terday surprised Filipino scouts at the
bridge across Paranaque river. The
enemy retired hurriedly, swimming the
stream in order to reach the main body
of the rebels entrenched opposite troop
X, 4th cavalry. A few rebels concen-
trated at Paranaque, while they are en-
trenched, are fully exposed from the
water front. General Kings headquar-
ters are now at Pasig village which
surrendered yesterday, without opposi-
tion. Many rebels are coming in, hop
ing to be allowed to enter Manila, but
permission is refused and they are afraid
to return to the enemy's ranks. The
California regiment, whose members
are in excellent spirits, is occupying
the villages of Pasig, Malata and Santa
Ana Since the Wyoming regiment re-
lieved the 23d regiment at the water
works, there has been no change in
General Hale's position. The Nebraska,
Colorado and South Dakota regiments
and the Utah artillery are now occupy
ing the same posts. On the left, Gen

MONITOR GETS IN HER WORK:
At signal from the tower of the de
Lalome church, the double turretted
monitor Monadnock opened fire from
the bay with the big guns in her fore
turret on the earth works with great
effect. Soon afterwards battery
bOmbarded the place from the latter
side. The rebels reserved their fire
until the bombardment ceased, when
they fired volleys of musketry as the
M ontana regiment advanced on the
jungles. The Kansas regiment on the
extreme left, with the artillery deploy
ing to the right, charged across the
open, and carried the earth works,
cheering under a heavy fire. Supported
by the artillery at the Church, the
troops advanced further driving the
enemy, fighting every foot, right into
the town line, penetrated to the presi-
dency, and lowered the Filipino flag at
