capture the town of Calamba, on the
shore of Laguna de Bay, which the
forces of Gen. Hall captured last

numbered 2,4OO men. The attack was
made simultaneously from the north
and south, the Filipinos apparently
thinking that they would confuse the
Americans by attacking from two
points at once. Two companies of the
Twenty-frst infantry, squadron OF
cavalry and one gun sufliced to repulse
the attack from the north, while the
400 men of the Washington regiment,
comprising part of Gen. Halls com
mand, and a detachment of cavalry,
drove off the rebels who had advanced
from the south. The loss of the in
surgents is not known. The American
