Fierce Battles North of Manila.
Desperate fighting between the

Desperate fighting between the
Amerlcsns anu tlnpIuos continued
north of Manila on sunday last. 1t
WAS part of the general advance
movement by Gen. EiwelisS. Ous's
troops, which began FRIDAY and Was
kept up Saturday. The total Amer-
lean loss SO far is estimated at 40
killed and las wounded. Among
the killed were Col. Harry Z. Eg bert,
OF the twenty second Infantry, and
Prince Lowenstein, n German who
had been with the American army.
The Filipinos' loss is unknown, but
1t Is reported to be heavy. General
Otis estimated their loss in FRIDAYS
and Saturdays lighting at 200 kali
ed, not counting the wounded, aud
they are reported To have suffered at
least AS heavily on Sunday. The
latest dispatches Indicate that General
OTIS has practically carried out his
plan as far as the movement of his
own troops is concerned, but this
movement has not been rapid enough
to corner the Filipinos if they seek
to escape. His object was to send
General MacArthur's division north
east To NOvaliches, ten miles from
Manila, aud then, 10y rapid advance,
almost due west to u poiut north of
Polo. thus cutting off the native
army, which was centered at Mala
Ton aud Polo, from escaping to the
north. On the east the avenue of
escape was intended 70 be closed by
General Hale, and on the south Gems.
Harrison G. Otis, Wheaton and Hall
were In the way. Thus the Filipino
armies at Polo and Malabon would
be surrounded.
General MacArthur's advance was
apparently SO slow. or was made I'm
such an indirect line, that the Fill
plnOS had an open ny for fleeing 10
the north. He seems to have struck
southwark in his advance toward
Polo and then turned northward
again instead of moving directly 10
the point sought.
1t IL not positively known whether
the Fiipinos have all fed northward.
hut they have at least fed from Nal
ahOn. having first burned the town.
The next move of the Americans will
be intended to crush the Filipinos
who may have heen caught in the
trap set, and then to press on to
MalolOs, Aguinaldo's capital, twenty
four miles north of Manila and ff.
teen miles north of Polo.
