MANILA, June 5.--General Lawton's
movement TO clear out the rebels post
lions to the east Of this city and make Il
possible to divide the island into two sec
tions. and whip the Filipinos in each In
turn was a brilliant success.
Before Lawton's dash the campaign had
not been directed much TO the eastward
of Caiuta and Pasig. Part of Wholey's
brigade under Colonel Truman left Pasig
during the night and advanced to the
rebel position at Taytay, at the head OF
Laguna Bay. They reached this at day
break. The insurgent skirmish line
fought for awhile, but soon fell back
upon the town They hurriedly set It on
fire and looted it of everything portable.
Then they fled over the mountains.

killing many and capturing some arms
and ammunition.

mountain on the west side OF Manquina.

their objective point being the rebel town
of Antipolo. They met with stout resist

but their heavy skirmish line carried all
before them This was made up of the
Oregonlans, the Artillery, and the Fourth

that the Filipnos had no time to de-
fend or destroy AntipolC. 1t was cap
tured by $50 o'clock in the morning. ana
a large quantity of arms and ammuni-
ton was seized.
No prisoners were taken. Halls men
simply drove the rebels off In much
the same way as a New York police oe-
