A CRUSHING DEFEAT.
Administered to Aguinaldo by Amer
lean Troops.
Ffiipincs Lose Fully 500 Men In the
Engagement - American Loss
About 100 killed and
Wounded

Manila, March 25.-A terrible battle
was fought this Saturday morning
northeast of Caloocan, in which the
Americans lost 100 men, including
killed and injured. and the rebels lost
about 500. The first engagement be-
gan soon after daylight. Gen. MacAr-
thurs division is to be credited with
the magnificent work done, which in
cludes the capture of several villages
and the almost complete demoraliza-
ton of Aguinaldo's forces.
Soldiers Behave Spleen didIy.
The American soldiers behaved splen-
didly, charging the strong trenches
thrown up by the rebels among the
canebrakes while the enemy kept up a
terrible firing. The ambulances were
kept continually on the firing line to
carry away the many whofell.
The gunboat Laguna entered the
small creeks fringing the coast and
aided in the assault on the Filipinos.
The engineers constructed sectional
bridges across the Tinajeros river and
our troops were enabled to advance
from an unexpected quarter.
Return for the Fight.
The Third and Seventeenth regiments
of United States infantry, which had
gone aboard the transport Sherman to
be conveyed, presumably, to some point
on the bay, embarked to march to
the front overland.
10 ~ pi nj of
United States infantry and the Oregon
volunteer regiment were among the
first troops to set out for the scene of
impending action to 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,
wipe them out or dispense them and
capture their capital-Malolos.
The Filipinos moved forward from
Malolos, leaving there only body
guard for Aguinaldo, it is said, and con-
centrated in large numbers about Mala-
bon. which lies to the north of Mania
on the railway and on the shore of the
bay.
Regiments Engaged.
Gen. McArthur's division, consisting
of the brigades of Gen. Harrison Gray
Otis, Gen. Hale and Gen. Hall, supple
mented by Gen. Wheaton's brigade, ad-
vanccd at daylight and cut the enemy's
forces in two. They captured the towns
of Polo and Novaliches, on the left, and
San Francisco del Monte and Moriquina,
On the right, clearing the rebel trenches
in front of the line north from the river
10 Caloocan. They also secured posses
sion of the railroad, practically corner
ing the flower of AguinalGo's army at
Maiabon. and in the foothills at Singa-
lon. 20 miles apart.
The troops engaged were the Third
artillery, as infantry; the Montana,
Kansas, Pennsylvania, Nebraska,
Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota,
Minnesota and Oregon volunteers, the
Third, Fourth, Seventeenth and Tween
ty-second regulars, the Utah artillery
battalion and Twenty-third regulars.
