Gon. Lawton unexpectedly stirred up
ono of the livoliest engagements of
tho wir- sonth of Las Pinas this
morning, upon whichoccasion Ameri
emm fiold gun wero engaged in the
first artillory duel agaitist i Filipino
battery, cotIc01aod in tho junglos.
C> mpanies F and 1, of the 21st in.
fantry, were nearly surrounded by a
largo body of insurgents, but the
Americans ont tlheir way out with
heavy loss. The United States tur
rot. ship M-ilonadnock and the gun
boats I [elena and Zafiro trained their
bat-ories on Bakoor and the zebel
treiches near Las Pinas all morning.
Bakoor was onco on fire, but the
natives stopped the spread of the
flames.
Dtring tho night an insurgent
cannou was fired threo timo3 at the
Americans otn the outskirts of Las
Pm.118.
(Ion. Lawton this morning took
a battalion of the 14th rogiment and
two copiamn ivs of the 21 st regimont
to locate the rehel bittery, and then
two guns of the Ith artillery and
four mounitain guns wore planted
aIgainst it. at, 600 yards' distanco.
The rebels had a largo giu from

of a privatti of the I-4th iinfantry.
Soveral shots struck the edge of the
town. The count.ry traversed was as
had Its it is possiblo to imagine, bo
ing mainly lagoons, mud and water,
fringed with bamboos.

As soon as the fighting opened the
Ameicans were attOcked by hiddon
rifllmen on all sides, even the amigos,
or "friendly," natives in the housos
of the town shooting into their rear.
The companies of the 21st regiment,
Skirmishing along the beach with
amigo guidos, found apparontly, a
handfil of robels, who retreated.
The nmen of tile 21st follo.wed, and
suddeonly thet rools oponed a terri
