The remainder of Gen. Youngs forces,
consisting of a battalion of the Twenty
second regiment and the gunboat Flor
ida, under command of Lieut.. Dalton,
were not needed, and arrived after the
town had been captured.

mounted men, and the cavalry was held
in reserve.

operating south of Manila, is resting at

unmoleSted march through submerged
rice fields from San Francisco de Mala-
bon. Two hundred and fifty insurgents
