the main body of San Miguel's force.
II is believed San Miguel was killed.
Lieut.. Reese was seriously wounded.
The scouts lost three men killed and
had eleven men wounded.
The enemy occupied an intrenched
position midway between Marquina
ana San Francisco and Del Monte,
and had erected stone fort, which
was garrisoned by 200 men. The
First and Fourth companies Of Mac
abebes, commanded by Lieut.. Reese
and Lieut.. Ntckerson, respectively, at
tackled the enemy's position, but as
the scouts were exposed to the fire Of
ttfbf enemy in a manner which placed
thu Macabebes at a disadvantage, the
lieutenants decided, after an hours
fighting, to surround the position and
charge after having divided their
companies. The two officers then led
gallant and successful charge, dur
ing which Lieut.. Reese fell, seriously
wounded.
The enemy then broke and ran,
leaving forty-five men dead on the
field, including a general officer, who
is believed to be San Miguel, though
his identification is incomplete.
