There was much shooting by Filipinos
who emerged from the bushes with
white flags. After the fighting dozen
men holding up their hands and shout
ing "Castillanos," met the American
cavalry. Even Spanish soldiers EN-.
braced the Americans hysterically.
There were 80 Spa nish prisoners at Ca
iamba, of whom some were civil officials
and some were soldiers. They had been
given the choice of joining the Filipino
army or becoming servants, and they
choose the army, intending to surrender
to the Americans at the first oppor tunity
Most of the civilians reached the
American lines during the fighting, but
the insurgents took others away with
them in their retreat. Gen. Hall captur-
led 12,Filipinos with guns. Mai Henry
w. Lawton, Prof. Dean G. Worcester, of
the American Philippine commission;
Mrs. Gen. Lawton and Gen. Lawton's
son accompanied the expedition on board
launch and sat coolly in an unprotected
boat close to the shore during the fight
ing, the bullets splashing about them.
To-day Gen. Hall brought to Manila
the Spaniards whom the expedition had
released from captivity of more than
year. Lieut.. Larson, commanding the
Napidan to-day found long missing
Spanish gun boat, which had been SO
cOvarad with b,,ohac o,d Ell .I-
to resemble vessel.
The Filipinos, having met reinforce
ments and thinking that the Americans
had evacuated the town, descending fro %
the hills today, intending to reoccupy
Calamba. Gen. Hall easily drove them
back. Gen. Hall will leave garrison at
Calamba.
Calamba is town of nearly 1900 |
population located on the eastern shore
of the bay, 30 miles southeast of Manila,
and is much further south than the
American troops had yet penetrated on
land.
1t is reported in Filipino circles in
Manila that the insurgents recently re-
ceiyed consignments of saltpetre and
lead from japan. The insurgents have
been experiencing many difficulties inthef
manufacture OF good powder, that which
they produced lacking power of range |
