ter from Malolos. The days advance
hegan Mt 2 o'clock and covered a9dis-
lance OF about two and aShalf miles be-
yond the Guigninta river, along the
railroad. The brunt of the battle was
on the right of the track, where the
enemy was apparently concentrated.
The First Nebraska, First South Da-
kota and Tenth Pennsylvania regi-
ments encountered them intrenched
on the border of the woods, and the
Americans. advancing in the open suf-
fered n terrific fire for half an hour.
Four of the Nebraska men were killed
and thirty were wounded. Ten men
of the Dakota regiment were wounded
and n of the Pennsylvanians was
killed.
The Americans finally drove the Fill
pinos back. Although there were three
lines of strong intrenchments along
the track, the enemy made scarcely
any defense there. General MacAr-
thur and his staff were walking on the
track abreast OF the line, with every
thing quiet, when suddenly they re-
ceiyed a shower of bullets from sharp
shooters in trees and on house tops,
hut these were speedily dislodged.
The enemy's loss vas apparently
small, the jungles afording them such
protection that the Americans were
unable to see them, and in firing were
guided only by the sound Of the Fill
Pine shots. The american artillery
was handicapped for the same reason.
Last nights long line of camp fires
made q beautiful sight, with the Twen-
tieth Kansas regiment on the left of
Guiguinto station, and the Pennsyl-
vania regiment IN the right beyond
the river.
The provision train vas delayed by
broken bridges, but the stores of grain
and f1ocks of ducks in the locality fur
nished ample forage.
The hospital work is remarkably eff
ficient, as it has been throughout the
whole campaign.
The ~telegraphers keep abreast of the
line and maintain a constant connec-
ton with the city.
Operations South of Manila.
Manila, March 31.-1O:37 a. m.-Gen-
eral Halls brigade advanced today
from Rarquina up the Mato river val
ley almost to Montalban, driving the
enemy to the hills on the north. The
rebels were in considerable force at
the functions of the rivers Nanoa and
Ampit with the Mato, but the Amer
lean artillery soon scattered them
with u heavy loss. The American loss
was M killed, Lieutenant Gregg, of
the Fourth infantry. General Hall
eventually returned to the water
works.
General King advanced from San
Pedro Macati, establishing headquar-
ters at Pasig.
Recently issued copies of the Repub-
lea Filipino, Aguinaldo's official or
gan, contained a proclamation. to the
effect that certain parties are raiding
northern towns and ordering the same
to join the Filipino army Immediately
or take the consequences, which, fail
ing to do, they shall be punished with
the Americans.
This is construed as meaning that
Macaholas, governor of the five north
ern provinces, is u%nfriendly to Agui-
naldo. If this be true Aguinaldo's re-
treat is undoubtedly cut off at the
railroad beyond San Fernando.
The Republica Filipino OH March %
published an extra edition containing
q statement to the effect that the
Americans had attacked Pasig, that
many of them were killed. and a ma
jority of the remained were wounded,
while $50 of them were taken prison.

The second paragraph asserted that
Americans had ravished 800 of the
Filipinos' fairest daughters, and called
upon the natives to defend their hon
or with their lives against the op-
pressors who spared neither age, sex
or condition, numbering whole fam
lilies in cold-blooded revenge"

Gently picked up a native boat contain
