Major General MacArthur's division advanced to San Fernando Friday and found that the place had been evacuated by the rebels, who left only a email detachment to cover their retreat by train. General MacArthnr occupied the burning town without loss. The rebels south cf Manila attempted to rush through Brigadier General Ovenshine's lines Thursday night. The attempt failed. but tbe rebels maintained a fnsilade of musketry fire on the Fourth Infantry liegiment for several hours. The demonstration was ineffectual beyond Bearing the inhabitants of Malate. The outposts of the Idaho and Califor nia Regiments, beyond San Pedro Macati, were also attacked during the night. Major General Lawton is still quartered at Balinag. Detailed reports of the work of Major General Lawton's expedition show that harder fighting took placo duritg the early part of this week than earlier accounts indicated. In the attack upon San Rarel, the American forces were met with a heavy fire from a large number of rebels who wero con cealed in tho jungle on all sides. It v.,,ouIy the adoption of the tactic followed in Indiau fighting in th i Unit ed States every man for himself that Baved Iho division from great loss. General Lawton, as usual, was at the head of his lino with his staff. Scott's battery demolished a stone-fronted trench at short range. Tho insurgent leaders Gregorio and Teio del Pilar, who had 800 men in Bal linag, retreated when General Lawton approached ihe town. Chief of Scouts Young, with eleven men entered Bali nag ahead of the nrmy aEd rang the church bells to announce that they had possession of the city. General Law ton, when attacking in force outsido of Balinag, saw woman ana children in the rebel trenches, aud sent Captain Case in advance with a while flag to warn the insurgents to remnvn th non-combatants. Wrhen within 500 yards of the trenches two volleys wore fired at Captain Case's party. Chief of Scouts Young, whose brav ery at Balinag was most notable, served as an Indian scout under Maj. Gon. O. O. Howard, in his campaign in the Northwest in 1876. The work of Young's scouts was a feature of the expedition. Wednesday, 23 of them encountered a body of 300 Filipinos beyond Balinag, and drove them until of the 150 rounds of ammunition which the scouts carried, they had only 15 rounds left They were about to retire when Lieut. Boyd, with a troop of the Fourth Cavalry, came up with them aud chased the enemy into San Mi guel. There are 2,000 Spanish prisoners in the hands of the Filipinos at San Mi guel. They are served with five cents' worth of rice daily, and are compelled to work hard on the rebel defences. Several hundred of the Filipino wound ed are at San Miguel. The insurgents are sending their women and children to the Biacnabatto Mountains. A Bolo chief and 100 men were captured at Ba linag. Gen. Lawton has released many of his prisoners. The Seel a.
