Sisson j and three men of the Fourth cavalry, j were killed and 4-1 wounded in an j engagement at Q u-Dgua. The Fili- i pinos retreated with small loss. 0:30 p. m.?The engagement developed into a disastrous, though successful, fight. The insurgents I hud a horseshoe trench about a mile J ioug encircling a rice lield. on the i j edge cf a wood. Capt. Bell, with 40 cavalrymen, : encountered a strong outpost. One i of his men was killed aud live were I wounded by a volley. The Americans retired, carrying their wounded, under lire and with great difficulty, beiug closely pursued, a fog enabling the enemy to creep up on them. Two men who were carrying a comrade were shot in the arms, but they continued with their burden. Capt. Bell sent for reinforcements to rescue the body of the killed cavalrymen, and a buttaliou of the Nebraska j regiment, under Maj. M afford, f.r- i rived aud advanced until checked by volleys from the enemy's trenches. T'u? k?? i??. c JLLic iiuicnuaua IUV a^uui uuujaiu^ j from tbe trenches, behind rice furrows, under fire, for two hours. Several men were sunstruck, one dying from the effects of the heat, as they lay there waiting for the artillery to come up. Finally the second battalion arrived and then Col. Stctzenberg, who had spent the night with his family at Manila, came upon the field. The men immediately recognized him and raised a cheer. Cjl Sto'.zenberg. deciding to charge as the cheapest way out of the difficulty, led the attack at the head of his regiment. He fell with a bullet iu the breast, dying instantly, about 200 yards from the breastworks. Lieut. Sisson fell with a bullet in his heart, the bullet striking him near the picture of a girl suspended by a ribbon from his ueck. In the mean time the aitilicry had arrived and shelled the trenches. The Filipinos stood until the Nebraska troops were right on the trenches, and then they bolted to the second line of intrenches, a mile back. The Nebraska regiment lost two privates killed and had many wounded, including two lieutenants. The Iowa regiment had several wounded. The Utah regiment had one officer and three men wounded. Thirteen dead Filipinos were found in the trenches. Their loss was comparatively small on account of their safe shelter. The Americans carried the second trench with small loss and are holding the town tonight. Col. Stotzenberg had won a reputation as one of the bravest fighters in fVip nrmv.
