M ANILA, Feb. 23.-This af-
IVI ternoon one of the fiercest
fights for a small one since the
war began took place at and
around Tondo bridge. A body
of daring insurgents, about $50
in number, passed General Mac
Arthur's left wing along the
swampy shore near Caloocan
during the night and entered the
Tondo district, where there are
three miles of nipa huts. Build
ing five trenches across the road,
they took possession of Tondo
bridge, which they held until ?
o'clock.
Thus they were in the outskirts
of the city, and our line OF
communication with the front
was cut. Two Minnesota com
panies sustained the first at
tack, but held on until re-
inforced. Captain N. c. Robin
son was wounded in the mouth.
Sergeant George Shepherd, Priv
ates George Wooding and
Thomas Calvin and four others
were also slightly wounded.
At noon to-day one battalion
of the Twenty-third Infantry un
Ter Major Goodale, three com
panies of the Minnesota Infan-
try, three Oregon companies and
one battalion of the Fourth Cav
airy were ordered to drive the
-ebels from their position.
\ The troops advanced along
md on each side of the road, and
he insurgents fought from house
TO house. In this manner eight
we're killed in one yard. The
American advance was somewhat
slow.
At Tondo bridge the insur-
gents made a stubborn fight.
They were on Our right and in
trenched in strong positions in
the bitches. Company c of the
Twenty-third Infantry moved
out to dislodge them, and hot
battle followed. The insurgents
only showed their heads from
time to time and poured volleys
into our lines. We here lost one
man killed and one wounded.
The fighting of the Twenty
third men at this point was mag
nihcent. The nipa huts used as
a refuge by the insurgents had to
be burned and hundreds of refu-
gees came into our lines, MANY
insurgent soldiers among them,
mixed up with weeping women
carrying children. 1t was diff
cult to distinguish the insurgents,
who threw away their uniforms
before they were captured.
