ADVANCE FROM CALULUT.
Filipino Force Driven from Its
MISUNDERSTANDING Man Wounded.


MANILA, August rs a. M-The
Twelfth Infantry left Calulut at sunrise
to-day and advanced up the railroad.
Captain Evans's battalion deployed to
the right Of the track and Captain WOODS
to the left. Two companies remained
on the track with the artillery. The in
surgents were found well entrenched In
front of the town, the trenches having
been made within few days and since
the occupation OF Cdlulut. AT a distance
of 1850 yards the Fiipinos opened nre.
The Z force was estimated by Colonel
Sm,n at 800 although the residents
afterwards said it exceeded those figures
by a thousand.
The enemy sent heavy vollcys against
the whole American line. Most Of their.
shots. as usual, were high, but they CON
centrated their heaviest fire down the
track upon the artillery. Colonel smith
kept the whole line moving rapidly, with
frequent PUSHES. The Insurgents at
tempted to flank Captain Evans and two
companies We're sent 20 the right and
drove them back. Unable TO stand our
continuous yOlleys, the Flllpin0s aban-
dOned the trenches and retreated through
the town nOrthward.
1t appears that they had only received
their supply OF ammunition there TINS
morning. Had they been attacked sooner
they could have made little resistance.
The intense heat caused much suffering
among the Americans.
A reporter for the Manila Times, who
was accompanying Colonel Smith, was
shot In the head, probably fataly. one
American officer received a slight wound
i'm the face. Lieutenant Rowland, or
General WheatOn's STAFF, who knew the
country thoroughly, az the result or a
reconnaissance, and who assisted IN d.
recting the movement. received Vollcy
while riding across the field close 10 the
trenches, but escaped unframed.
