TIVO LMERICANSLOST A Party of About Two Hundred Insurgents Appear at Dolores, but Are Driven Back. ——— Special Dispatch to The Call. L R b b S R R MANILA, Aug. 17.—8 a. m.— The Twelfth Infantry left Calu- lut at sunrise to-day and ad- vanced up the rallway. Captain Evans’ battalion deployed to the right of the track and Captain Woods' to the left. Two com- panies remained on the track with the artillery. The insur- gents were found intrenched in front of the town, the trenches having been dug within a few days and since the occupation of Calulut. At a distance of 1500 yards the Filipinos opened fire. Their force was estimated by Colonel Smith at 1500, although the resi- dents afterward said it exceeded those flgures by a thousand. The enemy sent heavy volleys against the whole ~American line. Most of their shooting. as usual, was high, but they con- centrated their heaviest fire down the track upon the artil- lery. . Colonel Smith kept the whole line moving rapidly, with fre- quent rushes. The insurgents attempted to flank Captain Evans and therefore two com- panles were sent to the right and drove them back. Unable to stand our continuous volleys the Filipinos abandoned the trenches and retreated through the town northward. It ap- pears that they had only re- ceived their supply of ammuni- tion this morning. Had they been attacked sooner they could have made little resistance. The intense heat caused much suffering among the Americans. A reporter of the ‘Manila Times who was accompanying Colonel Smith was shot in the head. One officer received a slight wound in the face. + MANILA, Aug. 16—5:20 p. m.—The insurgents have been concentrating two days before Angeles. It is offi- cially announced that Colonel Smith with two companies of the Twelfth Regiment and two guns of Battery E of the First Artillery, under Lieuten- ant Kemley, this morning attacked 2500 strongly entrenched insurgents at the southern approach to Angeles and drove them back, after a sharp two men killed and twelve wounded.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. 16— ‘Willlam Henry Hudson, professor of Eng- lish literature at Stanford University, has returned, accompanied by his wife, after a year's absence. During this year he has been in Europe, traveling through France, Switzerland and Italy, but most of his time was spent in London, his old home. This summer, while in London, Professor Hudson was engn‘fed in literary work. He wrote a life and study of Sir Walter Scott, which Is the first of a new serles, “Twelve Eioch-mnklng Scotsmen,” which will be published this fall in the United States and abroad. He also work- ed on a life and study of Rousseau, which will be one of a serles on “Epoch and Esoch»mn.ker!." to be glhlllhe later in Edinburgh. Professor Charles M..

(e} WILL CHARTER FOUR ADDITIONAL TRANSPORTS WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Secretary Root has been In consultation with the officers of the Quartermaster's department with a view to expediting the movement of the Philippine reinforcements, and as a result, he, this afternoon, directed that four ‘additional transports be chartered, They are the Pueblo, Belgian Kin Columbia and Charles F. Nelson. These four ships have a capacity of 2550 men. The Pueblo is now at San Francisco and the Columbia at Portland. The other two vessels are expected to arrive at San Francisco in about ten days, and it Is ex- pected that all of them will be ready to sall for Manila by September 10, It is Secretary Root's desire that the entire body of =~ the reinforcements for General Otis’ army may reach the Phiiip- ines for service during the month of ctober at the latest, and to that end he has been quiletly negotiating for addi- tional ships. It is now believed that all of the ten regiments will have landed at Manila by the time the dry season opens. A short and successful campaign of this new army would, of course, obviate the necessity of sending any additional volun- teers to the Philippines, and_the plans un- der consideration at the War Depart- ment are said to be predicted on that idea, it being the intention that whatever troops may be recruited will be. held in reserve for possible contingencies. FOOD SUPPLIES FOR : THE PHILIPPINE ARMY WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—The Commis- sary Department Is now working busily to provide food and subsistence for the new ‘army of the Philippines. The bulk of the material must be purchased In this country and shipped from San Francisco.
