Manila, March l6.-Agulnaldo' S forces
met with another crushing defeat
Wednesday in the most important en-
gagement since the first attack on Ma
Mia. Hundreds of the natives were
killed, hundreds more wounded and 525
were taken prisoners by the Americans.
Scores of corpses of Filipinos slain in
the battle fioated down the river. The
loss to the United States army was
slight.
Driven Back.
Two thousand well-armed natives OPP
posed the advance of Gen. Wheaton's
brigade. They were apparently the
pick of the Filipino army, for they
showed more bravery and determine
ton than any body yet facing the Unit
ed States soldiers. In spite of vigorous
resistance the natives were driven back
by the Americans, who poured deadly
volleys into their ranks.
Complete Rout.
The engagement, which continued
several hours. ended in the complete
rout of the Filipino force. The men
under Gen. Wheaton hold undisputed
posse ssion of the towns of Taguig,
Pateros and Pasig, or at least what
still stands of them. for large por-
tions of Pateros and Pasig have been
destroyed by fire.
Move on AGuinaIdO's Headquarters.
It is the plan of Gen. Wheaton to fol-
low up his present advantage and
press forward with all possible speed.
The flying column, which has already
spread disaster among the native
forces, will move as rapidly as is prac-
tica BILE toward Aguinaldo's headquar-
ters. With the Filipinos in their pres
ent demoralized condition, little fur
ther resistance is expected, the division
of the native army by the American
Gordon at Bay lake giving a great adj
vantage to Wheaton's brigade.

in bicycle construction-that of attain
ing lightness with strength. The
weight of passenger trains in proper
ton to the number of passengers car
ried is something tremendous when
you figure it out. This is necessary to
keep the train from jumping the track.
But the feature of the electric road
that will obviate this is track which
will make derallment impossible. With
such track the highest attainable
speed will be devoid of danger. The

ninimize the resistance, and the
wheels might have rubber tires to

Prof. Smith is too conservative an
engineer to fix a definite maximum

prevent cars being run at three miles
