Enemy Routed Completely.
Manila, March s.-A detachment of
Gen. Hale's and Gen. Wheaton's brig
AIDES was engaged for two hours Tues
day morning, clearing the country in
front of their lines on both sides of the
river, the enemy concentrating with
the apparent purpose of cutting off the
garrison at the waterworks. The rebels
bolted at the first sign of the advance,
but they separated into small bodies
whenever the covert afforded oppor-
tuni'ties, and kept up running fire.
By series of rapid advances, followed
by flank movements, the enemy was
completely routed as far out as Guada-
lupe, on the right, and almost to Mari
quina, on the left. The casualties re-
ported are Capt. O'Brien, of company
F, First Wyoming volunteers, and two
men slightly wounded. The rebel loss
was heavy.
In the afternoon Gen. Hale's brigade
continued the work of driving out the
rebels from the country between the
reservoir and the waterworks, dis
lance of about three miles. The coun-
try is now clear on the left of the river,
but the enemy is still in front of Gen.
Wheaton's line. Near San Pedro Macti
they have been actively attempting to-
make the positions of the Sixth artil-
lery on the hills untenable, their sharp
shooters keeping up constant fire all
day. Private Lovejoy, company G,
Washington volunteers, was killed by
stray bullet. Maj. Bell, Seventh U. S.

Twentieth infantry; Private Curran,
company H, Twentieth infantry, and
Private Sparks, company |, First Wy

In the afternoon they again showed a

When the Americans were within about
200 yards of the rebel party, the latter
dragged rifles from behind their backs
and opened fire upon them. but for
