movement at noon, General Wheaton's s
troops developed a strong opposition
between Malabon and the River Tuli-
CHAN.
The brigades commanded by General
Harrison Gray Otis and General Hale
advanced on Noyaliches and Polo,
strongly entrenched towns. In the
meantime General Halls brigade swept
the country clear to the waterworks
and the foothills and Singalon, captur-
ing San Francisco del Monte and Mari

DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED.
Today's fighting furnished specimen of
the difficulties with which the Americans
have to contend The FilipinoS never, ex-
nents to get within several hundred yards
of them. They would fire a few volleyS
from their cover and elen scuttle back to
another cover, repeating these tactics for
miles. Many of the trenches had gullieS
and connecting paths through the cane
and brush. enabling them to retreat un-
seen.
The problem the Americans have to face
is to drive or lure the insurgents to fight
in force. The trenches seem thinly man
ned, except in the vicinity of Malabon.
The Americans, fighting a hidden foe,
suffered greater loss than did the enemy
The loss of the Filipinos had formerly
been estimated from the number of bodies

An inquiry was made as to why so
large a proportion of the volunteer
troops were thrown into the advance.
1t was answered at the department that
these particular volunteers were actu-
ally more veteranized than many of the
regulars. They have been in service
now nearly a. year, and in that time
have seen more fighting than any other
branch of the army. They have an adj
vantage over the regulars who have
just arrived in their knowledge of jun
gle fighting, acquired through their
long stay at Manila. Then it is said to
be the part of prudence to maintain
strong reserve of the most reliable
men in such momevent as that now
going on and General Otis, in his dis
patch of yesterday, emphasized the
necessity of maintaining the old battle
lines surrounding the city.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-03-26

signal men, we'll up with the troops in
the advance, running their wires; the
ambulance corps close up to the fight
ing lines, and the pressing forward of
the supplies.
Although the end was not known
when the department closed, the great
est confidence was shown by the Of
ficials in the complete success of the
American arms, and there was nothing
but praise heard for the strategy eX-
hibited by Otis and his generals. Mac
Arthur especially came in for COM
mendation, being the active leader of
the advancing column thrown first
against the insurgent line.
The opinion expressed at the depart
ment was that the American troops
would bivouac on the field, or, rather,
in the jungle, and would take up the
forward movement Immediately after
the sun rises tomorrow. There was
no question about stopping at this
point. The movement was intended to
break the rebel power, and it would be
pushed to the utmost until the rebels
surrendered or fled beyond reach in
the mountains and jungles.
1t is said at the department that Otis
has under his command in Manila and
vicinity about $1,000 soldiers. Aguinal-
do, according to Otis last report, has
about 10000 armed men.
General COrDln estimates that the
American flying column was about
10000 men strong. The insurgents, ac-
cording to Otis, had about $1,000 men
in line. But Aguinaldos reserve, 5000
strong, is not far distant from the
scene of the firing line. Indeed, it is
suspected that some of them, including
the leader himself, may have been
drawn into today's struggle, in which
case the odds would have been heavily
against the Americans. The latter ap-
pear to be taking advantage of the
great assistance to be found in the pos
session of the railroad, for their move
ment today was generally parallel to
the road at all points.
There is a possibility of confusion
over the names of General Hale and
Hall. General Irving Hale was colonel
of the Colorado infantry, and has been
promoted to be brigadier general of
volunteers. General Robert Hall was
formerly colonel of the Fourth infantry
and has been promoted to be brigadier
general of volunteers. Both of these
men were in the engagements of today
north of Manila.

DISPOSITION OF FORCES.
Long-range Description of Scene of
Operations.

Washington, March 25.-Major Simp-
son, chief of the bureau of military
information, was busy during the day
taking fragmentary information of the
movements here and there of battal-
ions and brigades, and so assembling
them as to give on the military map
a complete picture of today's theatre
of operations. As explained, the field
of today's action is as follows:
Back of Manila, at a distance of
about seven miles from the water front,
sweeps a great semi-circle of Ameri-
can troops. This arc is about twenty
miles long and embraces about q 900
men. 1t is cut midway by the Pasig
river, which forms a natural military
division. To the south the arc is under
the command of Major General Law
ton, just arrived in the Philippines.
Until now this has been the field of
activity, with Wheaton's flying column
beating back the insurgents. But to-
day Lawton's forces are idle and the

as to the progress being made by Gen

FIRST DAYS FIGHTING.
Utah Battery, Under Lieutenant
Gibbs. On the Left.

| Manila, March 25.-Late in the after
noon the Montana regiment and the
Third artillery had crossed the Tall
CHAN river, going in q, nortl "a asterly di-
rection towards Polo and General Nc
Arthur, with the remainder of General
Otis and General Hale's brigade, We're
moving along south of the river in a
position to attack either NoValiches or
Polo, being within two miles of Noyal-
iches and five miles from Folio.
General Halls brigade moved to
Balac, protecting General Hale's right,
meeting with strong opposition. The
Oregon regiment and part of the Utah
battery under Lieutenant Gibbs held
the extreme left.
The entertainments nearest to Mala-
bon suffered the most severe attacks,
including a crCsS fire from the insur-
gents masSed at Malabon. The Montana
regiment near Balintano came upon
a blockhouse disguised as a leper hos
pital, across the river, after marching
through the jungle. -Four men were
killed and seventeen wounded.
General MacArthur'S artillery was
haInpered by the thickness of the jun
gle, General MacArthur's and General
Hale's staffs were frequently under a
calling fire and upon one occasion all
of the officers excepting the generals
eismounted, being overcome by the
heat. There were many prostrations
during the day.
The American loss is now conserva-
lively estimated at is killed and ,1S0
wounded The loss of the enemy was
heavier than during any previous en-
gagement
CAREFULLY PLANNED.
Elaborate preparations were made
for the movement General Wheaton's
brigade was placed in the rear and
General Harrison Gray Otis and Gen
eral Halls were massed behind Gen
eral Hale's. Under the cover of dark
ness, General Otis and General Hales
brigades left their trenches and ad-
vanced close upon the enemy's line
without being detected. General
Wheaton's and General Halls brigades
occupied the vacated positions. At
o'clock the American troops break
tasted and the Filipinos, noticing the
campfires, their buglers called to arms.
At daylight General Otis and Cen
eral Halls brigades advanced from La
Iona church straight through the rebel
lines, cutting the enemy's force in two.
Upon this occasion the rebels adopted
fire until the attackers We're about 1000
yards distant. The rebels also fired
longer than usual. The Americans
fired volleys with terrific effect, and
then rushed forward, cheering, and
carrying everything before them.
General MacArthur's division was
swung through the line, driving the
rebels away on all sides.
General Wheaton's brigade, in ac-
cordance with instructions, remained in
the trenches. Before joining in the

statement that 81 am endeavoring to
take fraction (of the enemy in reverse"
was taken to make this plain. As near
ly as could be calculated, Macarthur
held the middle of the American line.
He was driving straight northward and
was to proceed in that direction until
he had fanked the inSurgent center.
The statement that he had arrived at
Noyaliches shows that he was then
about eight miles northeast of Manila.
When he swings to the left north of
Polo he will have between himself and
the bay of Manila about a third OF the
insurgent army. If he manages to get
in the rear Of this body the insurgents
will be fairly eornered in a triangle
formed by the bay on the one side,
MacArthurs force on the northeast and
WheatonS brigade on the south. 1t IS
assumed that this is what Otis means
when he talks of taking the enemy in
reverse, for the statement that Wheaton
will press forward at the proper time
is regarded as an indication that it will
be,his duty to close up the triangle and
prevent the escape of the insurgents.
The only hope of the latter would ap-
pear to be in retreating before Mac
Arthur's advance SO rapidly as to pre-
vent being cornered and driven back
on Wheaton, but even in this case their
force would be split in two and their
position Woud be untenable for any
length of time
