Night alone prevented the final cloning in, but a large force of the enemy is now at our mercy. Gen. Wheatons brigade rests on the south side of the river, holding the center, while the other brigades have flanked the Filipinos from both east and west. Our casualties are now estimated at 200, of which comparatively few are killed. The insurgents have been slaughtered everywhere, wbolo fields strewn with their corpses. It was a magnificent action. While the right wing made, a detour to the eastward-an- d tothe north, the strong center suddenly swept Out from the trenches in an unbroken line two miles long and moved across the open fields without a falter; driving the enemy - - - - before them. Gen. MacArthurs troops have rested for the night without taking Polo. Gen. MacArthur expresses entire satisfaction with the progress made by bis gallant men. This is the fiercest battle yet fought in or near Manila. The loss to our side has been greater than in any battle since the beginning of the Spanish war, with the exception of the fight at Santi-- ago. Gen. Wheatons headquarters last night was a half mile south of the river on the railroad. The opposite bank was protected yesterday by blockhouses and entrenchments. Occasionally the artillery and infantry fired across the stream.
