Alone Given Permission.

MANILA, Sept. 29.——Genera1 MacAr-

from Bacolor, in Pampanga province, in
two columns. The Ninth infantry, with
two guns from Santa Rita, was com-
manded by General Wheeler, and the
Thirty-sixth infantry, under Colonel J.
E. Bell, with one gun, accompanied Gen-
eral MacArthur from San Antonio.

Both columns covered the eight miles
and struck the town together and opened
a brisk fire, which was replied to by the
enemy for half an hour. Then the insur-
gents fled, and the Americans marched
over their trenches and took possession
of the place.

Just before the fight Lieutenant Colo-
nel Smith’s command, the Twelfth infan-
try, at Angeles, made a demonstration by
firing artillery up the railroad track.

Colonel Liscum of the Ninth infantry
reported one casualty, ’and Colonel Bell
reported four men of his regiment, the
Thirty—sixth, wounded. The artillery did
not have any men injured. Ten dead Fil-
ipinos were found.

Two Filipino majors came to the Amer-
ican lines with messages regarding the
American prisoners. They also request-
ed permission for General Alejandrino,
one colonel and two lieutenant colonels
to visit General Otis. They were refused
entrance to the American lines on ac-
count of the fight, and General Alejan-
drino alone will be allowed to visit Gen-
eral Otis.

The insurgents recently intrenched and
ga'rrisoned the town of Paeto, on Lagu-
na de Bay, in the province of Laguna.
Subsequently Captain Larsen, command-
ing the gunboat Napidau, landed for a
conference with the citizens. As he was
proceeding up the main street of the
town with a squad he was received with
a volley from a hidden trench. The par-
ty retreated to their boat under cover of
the buildings and regained their vessel.
The Napidan then bombarded the trench
for an hour, completely destroying it.‘

It is reported by a person who has just
arrived from Tarlac that Naval Cadet
VVelborn C. \Vood, who was in command
of the United States gunboat Urdaneta,
recently captured and destroyed by the
insurgents in the Orani river, on the
northwest side of Manila bay, where she
was patrolling, and five of the nine en-
listed men forming the crew were killed
during the fighting previous to the de-
struction of the vessel.

The four other men and the captured
cannon-a 1 pounder, a rapid fire gun, a
Colt machine and a Nordenfeldt 25 milli-
meter gun—were conveyed to Tarlac.

At Grand Mere the flood broke the big

sleeps well every night.—Mrs. Lucy Mcl‘. utt,
