Show AFTER GENERAL PILAR. Lawton'8 Forces are Making It Warm For the Filipinos. Manila, June 0. A vigorous campaign cam-paign was begun on Saturday against General Rio Del I'ilar's force of 2,000 rebels in the foothills at the mouth of La Guna de Bay, and in the towns of Gainta, Taytay and Antipolo, under the supervision of General Lawton. General Hall, with 2,500 men, moved southeast from the pumping station, and Colonel Whalley, who relieved General King in command of his brigade, bri-gade, proceeded east from San Pedro Macati, the two divisions approaching each other. Colonel Whalley captured Cainta with small loss, the rebels fleeing before be-fore the advance of the United States troops. General Hall drove the Filipinos from the vicinity of Mariquini, sweeping sweep-ing them towards General Whalley's column. |
