regiment. and two mountain guns. The
men rolled themselves in their blankets
and lay upon the wet grass for a few
hours under drizzling rain.
AT o'clock yesterday morning (Satur-
oaJ) they began to cross the San Mateo
river, and about noon easily repuised a
large band of Filipinos about twelve miles
east Of Manila, between Mariquina and
Antipolo.
Inc oregon regiment, the cavalry, the
artillery and the Fourth infantry accom-
pltshed this task, driving the insurgents
from the hills, the other troops being held
In reserve. but afterward joining the
main column in the pursuit toward the
sea.
A running fight was in progress all the
afternoon. A Filipino outpost first at
tackled few American scouts, where
upon the Fourth cavalry formed a long
skirmfsh line and easily drove the insur-
gents into the hills. Then the Oregon reg
1ment moved across a wet, soggy rice field
in extended order toward the hills, where
it was believed a large force of the en-
envy had concentrated.
When the Oregonians were within about
mile of the position the Filipiuos opened
heavy fire. the Americans replying and
pressing forward more rapidly.
After few volleys the insurgents were
seen scattering over the crest of the hills
In every direction, and their panic was in
creased when the artillery opened upon
them and the shells began to explode all
around them, undoubtedly causing great
loss Of life The bombardment by the bat
teries and the musketry was maintained
for nearly half an hour. after which nor
a Filipino could be seen on the hills, and
not shot came from the position.
Tho heat was intense and the troops
suffered greatly, but they continued on
the trail taken by the fleeing enemy. in
the hope of driving them toward the lake.

fording the river Pasig. advanced north
east upon Cainta. while Gen. Hall ap-

This important movement was kept so
secret that the public thought the plan
was to send Gen. Ovenshine's line for
