though the sticky condition of the
ground, due to the rainstorm, has seri-
ously impeded it's progress, General
Lawton's column left San Jose today
and is expected to reach Norsagay this
evening.
Colonel Summers is marching across
from Bocave, with two battalions each
from the Oregon and Minnesota regi-
ments, three troops of cavalry and two
guns. In the meantime General Mac
Arthur's division is in front of Calum-
pit preparing to attack the rebel
stronghold, and General Hale, with
several guns, is threatening the ene-
my's flank.
A few rebels between Novaliches and
La Iona have persistently interfered
with telegraphic communication, but
the signal corps has repaired the
breaks and captured several prisoners.
A small body of rebels at Taltay was
discovered this morning by the ar
mored launch Napidan. A few shots

Five South Dakotnns Killed.
Manila, April 800 p. m.-Hale's
brigade, including the lowans, South
Dakotans and Nebraskans, with three
guns, followed the west bank of the
Rio Grande river to a ford. Many
small bands of rebels were ncoun
tered. During the afternoon several
hundred of the enemy were discovered
near Pulilan. The Americans at
tucked them, losing six killed and
eleven wounded. The South Dakotans
bore the brunt of the losses-five killed
and nine wounded. The troops claim
that nearly 200 Filipino dead were
counted along the country %traversed,
among them n dead Spanish captain.
The temperature is "a. There have
been several sunstrokes.
The country %trayersed is thickly
wooded, the hardest kind for fighting.
Rebels along the Bagbag river were re-
informed from Calumpit as the troops
under Hale approached. The Ameri-
cans captured $50 prisoners, the rebels
retreating in the direction of Calum-
pit. The Filipinos engaged were well
uniformed and well drilled. AS the
campaign progresses the native troops
are improving, adopting American
methods. The accuracy of their shoot
ing is shown by the fact that the five
Americans killed were shot in the head.
General Hale at 4 o'clock this morE-
ing crossed the river and advanced on
Calumpit. MacArthur's division also
advanced, and nine of his armored fat
cars were pushed ahead o. the rail-
road. The Kansans advanced or the

out. The Third artillery patrolled the
town last night.

brigade on the left bank. Hale en-
countered fierce opposition, driving the
enemy with heavy loss and taking en-
trenchments in flank. Halc's casual

The division has invested Calumpit,
which will be taken today. Lawton,
with part of his command, will reach

Joined by the center column from Bo-
cave. Extreme heat, rain, high streams
and bad roads made the march very
difficult. He has not met any opposi-
ton since leaving Novaliches. the ems

Manila the enemy has a force of 1000,
making demonstrations daily. They
can be easily taken care of, and can-
not communicate with the north. The
list of casualties of the day before yes
terday will be cabled today"
