MALABON FIRED
BY THE REBELS
Desperate and Heavy Fighting In
Neighborhood of Manila.
FILIPINOS USE STRATEGY
Their Tactics Cause Americans
To Lose Heavily.
A Manilo special says: The Ameri¬
cans Sunday morning found the im¬
portant town of Polo aud a number of
small village west of the railroad de¬
serted and burning. They were ad¬
vancing along the railroad.
During the day the Washington vol¬
unteers, who held Pasig Saturday, had
an engagement with a band of insur¬
gents, who drove in their outposts. In
the fight the Filipinos lost several.
At 9:80 o’clock a. m. the Filipinos
began burning their stronghold at
Malabon, and their forces fled from
the city in the direction of Malalos.
The insurgents Avill make their last
stand probably at Malalos.
The Americans have advanced along
the line of the Dagupan railroad, driv¬
ing the Filipinos from Malinta and
Newcanayan, where there Avere 3,000
inhabitants.
Saturday night the brigades of Gen¬
eral Harrison Gray Otis and General
Hale encamped in the enemy’s trenches
at Newcanayan and that of General
Wheaton at Malinta.
General Wheaton's brigade formed
a junction with the remainder of Gen¬
eral McArthur’s division at Malinta,
and the tAvo, leaving General Wheaton
there, marched along the railroad to
Newcanayan. This place was fortified
and for 300 yards from it there were
trenches on each side of the track,
These were taken possession of by the
American troops. The movement of
the Americans will be pushed in this
■direction.
The Filipinbs realizing that the rail¬
road is the crucial line, have construct¬
ed row after row of trenches, runuing
diagonally on both sides of the track
at a distace of a feAV hundred yards
apart.
This work was designed most intel¬
ligently, and has evidently been done
under the direction of experts. It rep-
resents an enormous amount of labor.
Most of the rebel positions are pro¬
tected by thick earchworks, a majority
of them topped with stones ancl pro¬
vided with loopholes. Some have sheet-
iron roofs.
The day’s work of the United States
troops consisted of storming three suc¬
cessive trenches. The Filipinos occu¬
pying them were completely hidden.
The enemy poured a strong fire
from every trench until they Avere dis¬
turbed by a flanking volley, when
they would disappear into the woods
and jungle, only to make a stand at
the next line.
The American loss was remarkably
small, seven being reported killed and
twenly-five Avounded. It is known
that the Filipinos were so protected
that they suffered little. No dead in¬
surgents were found in the trenches.
Forty prisoners were taken by the
Americans, and it is estimated that the
rebel casualties numbered twenty.
American Loss Heavy.
Further particulars of Saturday’s
fighting show that twenty-six dead and
one hundred and fifty wounded in the
hospital is the latest statement of the
American losses in the engagement
with the Filipinos. The day’s fightiug
furnished a specimen of the difficulties
with which the Americans Lave to con¬
tend.
The Filipinos never, except opposite
Malabon, permitted their opponents to
get Avithin severul hundred yards of
them.
They Avould fire a few volleys from
their cover and then scuttle back to
another cover, lepeating these tactics
for miles.
Many of the trenches bad gullies and
connecting paths through the cane and
brush, enabling them to retreat un-
seen.
The problem the Americans have to
face is to drive or lure the insurgents
to fight in force. The trenches seem
thinly manned except in the vicinity of
Malabon.
The Americans, fighting a hidden
foe, suffered greater loss in proportion
than did the enemy.
