INSURGENTS LOSS LARGE.
So at Least 1t Is HrpOrted by At
lacking Column.

Manila. Dec 2S.-Colonel Lockett, with
a force of 300. yesterday attacked II
force of insurgents entrenched in the
mountains near Montalbau, about five
miles northeast of SAN Mateo The
enemy were completely routed the
Americans pursuing them through the
hills, amid which they fed in every III.
reciion.
-Four Americans We're wounded and
one was killed. The Filipino loss was
larse. resulting from heavy infantry
and artillery fire for three hours into the
trenches.
1t is supposed that the insurgents were
those who We're driven out Of San Ma
teo on the day General Lawton was
killed. They numbered probably 1000.
\ dozen lines of insurgent trenches
covered the steep trail through the hills
and likewise the valley below, along
which TIL" Americans passed. Tha main
attacking party consisted Of the Forty
sixth volunteer infantry, IL troop .f
cavalry and artillery, Colonel Lockett
commanding. The rest of the command
operated from remote points in an en-
Geavor to carry out Colonel Lockett's
plan of throwing his lines around the
enemy, and thus cutting off retreat.
The nature of the mountainous country
made ii mpra ctiCabie to execute this
rlovemcnt successfully After the IN
surgents b,gan to run, there was Il vain
attempt to uSe artillery.
