A dispatch from Manila, under date of March 28, says: General MacArlhur and his army are resting on the plain beyond Marilao, after three days' scrambling in the brush, fording rivers and charging trenches in the blazing sun. The men are tired, but are in splendid spirits. The heat is intense, being 00 degrees on the coast and fully 100 degrees in the interior; it made the Americans suffer a great deal. A detachment of ninety-si- x Filipino prisoners were escorted into Manila today. Their appearance aroused great interest as they were marched from the railroad depot to tbe prison. The rebels have unloaded about 500 men from a train, half a mile in front of General MacArthura forces, with the object of reinforcing the Fillipino garrison at Bulacan and Guiguinto, on either side of the railroad leading to Malolos. The engineers are repairing bridges, the rebels having failed to destroy the ironwork, and the railroad is kept busy hurrying supplies to the front. The country at Malolos is level with frequent streams and patches of wood, but there are no more jungles. The American troops will advance at daylight, taking four days rations with them and having 200 rounds of ammunition in their belts. They expect to take llocaue, on the railroad to the east of Bulacan, tomorrow. It is a difficult position, protected by large streams.

This was accomplished in a battle fought Saturday. The American losses in this engagement are estimated at sixteen killed and 130 wounded. Fighting began at 6 a. m., when an advance was begun all along the lines from San Juan del Mone to Caloocan. MscArthurs entire division was in the fight, the brigades being commanded li. G.

The cavalry outflanked the enemy, who broke and ran, suffering severe loss. As our line swung northwest and came to Talighan river, Wheatons brigade moved out from Caloocan and swept the trenches directly in front, killing hundreds of insurgents. Our line stretched along six miles of the south bank of the river, with the bridge at Caloocan destroyed. There were solid lines of insurgents in trenches on the other bank.

WAR WITH FILIPINOS WILL SOON BE OVER. The United States gunboat Helena and other gunboats have been shelling Malabon, about a mile northeast of inCaloocan, for several hours. The surgents made a fierce resistance to the American advance up the railroad to Malinta. In addition to the fatal wounding of Colonel Egbert, several infantry men of the Twenty-secon- d and several men of the Oregon and Kansas regiments were killed. Evidently anticipating a bombardment by the fleet, 1,000 rebels vacated Malabon last night, leaving a few to burn the town. The Third artillery, acting as infan try, with two guns of the Utah artillery and the Kansans had a sharp fight east of Malinta. The Americans had but slight losses. Five Filipinos were found dead and several were taken prisoners. West llor th Brunt. Washington, March 27.

AGUINALDOS DEFEAT ARMY UNDER HIS COMMAND IS RETREATING. American ar Marching 1 owanl Irrargenf Capital, Sweeping Everything llefor Them Filipino Out of Reach of Dea ey's Guns. New York, March 29. A special from Manila, under date of March 37, says: The two brigades , commanded by Generals II. G. Otis and Hall advanced on Malolos from Meycanayan today. At Marilao, ten miles from the rebel cap- ital, they encountered the insurgent forces intrenched and under commanfl of Aguinaldo in person. A severe battle ensued, in which Aguinaldo and hi troops were defeated and fell back upon Malolos, leaving 100 dead. Many prisoners and small arms were captured by our troops. The American loss was forty men, of whom six, including three officers, were killed. Marilao was captured and is now occupied by McArthur's troops. The city is on th further side of the Marilao river, which at this point is unfordable. The rail way bridges had been burned before the arrival of our troops. General Otis advance guard on its arrival here was met by a hot fire, which did considerable damage. With the arrival, however, of the artillery, the insurgents were thrown into A panic. A larg e number of them escaped and fell back with Aguinaldo upon the main body of the army, but the men in the trenches, owing to the unexpectedly sudden arrival of our artillery, were caught and hoisted the white flag. Gattlug Away From Dewey's Gone. Washington, March 39. From dispatches received at the war department it would seem that the situation had assumed the aspect of a chase, aa the insurgents are fleeing before the Americans with diminishing inclinations to make a stand. There is no lack of confidence among officials here aa to the satisfactory outcome of the campaign. Malolos, the insurgent capital, where the assembly has been sitting and the insurgent government has been in operation, represents more to the insurgents than any other place in the Philippines, and little doubt is entertained that they will make a desperate stand there. The tactics of Aguinaldo are taking him gradually beyond the range of Admiral Deweys guns. While the insurgents were at Malabon, on Saturday, they were within a mile of the water front and easily withiu range of the fleet. Malolos is about seven milev back from the bay. WIRES ARE USELESS.
