The Filipinos'wero surprised, expecting tho Araorican forces to movo against Tico. They followed their usual tactics of holding their trenches until they became too warm and then retreating in disorder. They arc now falling back westward toward I'orie. Tho Twelfth and Seventeenth regi ment had tho sharpest engagements. The country our troops passed over if. covered with rico holds and bamboo thicket, tho hardest possible ground for marching. Tho mud in places was k nee deep. He ports from rebel sourcos say 150 Filipinos wero killod in Gonoral Hall's engagement at Calamba and in the subsequent skirmishes. The American loss in the fighting about San Fernando at 3 o'clock was known to be eight mon killod and twenty six wounded. . Tho loss may possibly i-xeood theso figures, as tho line, is live miles long and it is impos sible at this hour to hear from every point. WhIIIiik I or thai Artillery. Our troops are now about Angeles, waitintr for tho artillery, which has tho greatest ailliculty in moving owing to the wet ground . Tho attack was opened at 5 o'clock in the morriintr, h battery of tho First artillery shelling Itacoloron tho loft. Simultaneously Hell's Thirty-sixth in fantry struck Hacolor from the rear and drove the rebels out. Armored cars, each with a six-pounder and two (S.itling revolving cannon on board, were mounted on the ra'lroad track in tho center of our linos. Soon after ward these juns did sharp execution.

The rebels wero well protected by trenches and seemed not to lack am munition. But they were unable to withstand for any length of timo the hail of shot our artillery and infantry poured in on them and retreated, leav ing tlend and wounded on the field. A dtzen prisoners wero captured by our troops. Tho reports indicate that the Ninth infantry suffered the most, though the casualties of all tho regiments aro not yet reported. Tho weather was extremely hotand our troops suffered greatly. But there was no faltering. A company of the Sixteenth regi ment went to the relief of Boll's regi ment this afternoon. The firing, except at isolated points, had censed by 10 o'clock. Oat After Angeles. Angeles is one of the richest towns north of Manila and is considered to be a better baso of operations than San Fernando.
