has come at last. The former are

expedition possible.
The clash came at 8: Id vester- l(

and wounding another.
Almost immediately afterward i
the Filipino line, from ('ainocan f
to Santa Alesa. corumenced a fus- *
ilade which was inetl'ectual. )
l'ho Nebraska, Montana and ,
North Dakota outposts replied j 4
vigorously and held their ground J
until reinforcements arrived.
The Filipinos in the meantime ii
concentrated at three points,
Caloocan. Ciagalangin and Santa |?
j Mesa. 11
At about 1 o'clock the Filipinos *
.opened a hot liro from all three '
j places simultaneously. '1 his was
! supplemented by the fire of two
siege guns at Halik-Malik, and by t
; advancing their skirmishers at i
i l'aco and 1'andacan.
Toe Americans responded with '
a terrific fire, but owing to the j,

The Third artillery also did/
good work on the extreme left. . 1
The engagement lasted over an j .
hour. :

stationed oil Malabonu, opened
