the end of the Philippines instruction.

crushing the insurgents and capturing
Aguinaldo. Eleven thousand of the pick
of the American soldiers are arrayed on
one side and practically the entire Fill

the front overland.
The Twenty-second regiment of
United States infantry and the Oregon

first troops to set out for the scene of
impending action 10 the north of Ma
Mia.
Movements Of the Rebels.
The rebels had been expecting an adj
vance movement for some days. Their
spies within our lines usually have
kept them advised of the American
plans of operation.
In this case the Filipinos knew they
must make their most stubborn stand,
as the American commander meant to
wipe them out or dispense them and
capture their capital-Malolos.
The Filipinos moved forward from
Malolos, leaving there only a body
guard for Aguinaldo. il is said, and con-
centrated in large numbers about Mala-
bon, which lies to the north of Manila
on the railway and on the shore of the
bay.
The fighting was desperate on the
part of the Filipinos, determined on the
part Of the Americans.
The result was disastrous to the reb-
els.
