MANILA, April 11.-At about midnight
the rebels cut the telegraph line at several
places between here and Malolos. and sig
nal fires were lighted and rockets sent up
along the foothills TO the right of the rail-
road. Later the enemy attacked the out
posts of the Minnesota regiment be-
tween Bigaa and Bocavic, five miles
south of Maolos, killing two men and
wounding fourteen. simultaneously the out
posts of the Oregon regiment at Marilao,
the next station on the way to Manila, were
attacked with the result that three Ameri-
cans were killed and two were wounded.
The loss CT the enemy was ten men killed
and six wounded. The Americans also cap
tured two prisoners. Troops were concen-
trated along the railroads thckly pos
sble and the rebels were driven back to the
foothills. The roadbed of the railroad was
damaged, but it was repaired almost imme-
diately and traffic was soon resumed

gagged in the attack were natives who en-
tered the region in the guise OF 'friendlies." I"
They had seemingly secreted arms in sew

dispatch has been received from General
Otis:
insurgents attacked MacArthur's line of
railway communication last night in con-
siderable force, but repulsed by Wheaton

the mountains and jungles to the right of
the railway and have been watching an op-
poItunity to capture the road at some point
and thus cut off the main body of the army
