Casualties, Three Americans Killed, Also Forty Insur- gents, as a Result of Monday's ; Engagement. MANILA, March 13—The aggressive campaign against the Filipinos began this morning when General Wheaton’s new brigade began moving on Guadalupe, Pasig and Pa- teres, intending to clear the country of insurgents as far as Laguna de Bay. Aconsiderable force of the enemy had gathered at Guadalupe and offered resistance. A sharp fight ensued during which both sides suffered, although the Filipinos got much the worst of it. One of Dewey's gunboats, steaming up the Pasig river on the flank of the enémy, sent shot and shell crashing through the jungle, spread- ing death and devastation on every hand. The Filipinos, caught between the cross fire of the troops and the gun- boat, were mowed down by scores, and soon broke and fled from Guadalupe in wild disorder, pursued by the Americans. At last accounts the pursuers and pursued were heading toward Pasig. The loss during the early morning engagement was one American killed, five Americans wounded, forty Fil- 108k and over 100 wounded. The American wounded are: Regulars, L. Folger, Thomas Miller, Charles Davis, Corporal Chris Thomp- son, Twentieth Infantry; Corporal Charies Easly, Twenty-second Infantry. . ri James Kline, a private in the Twentieth Kansas, was killed in front of Caloocan by one of the enemy's sharp- MANILA, Marci 13.—Later reports from the field state that the Americans have captured Pasig and San Nicolo. After shelling the enemy out of Pasig, General Wheaton rested his troops on the bluff overlooking Pateros and Taguise. The gunboat steamed into the lake right oppo- site and threw shells into the jungle. The Americans lost two more killed, Private Stewart of the Twentieth Infantry, and Private Munson of the Twenty-second Infantry; also the following wounded : Theodore Misner, John Black, William O’Brien, Wm. Rhinehard, Willett Harmon of the Twenty-second In- fantry; R. Piper, C. Sumner, Matthew Sharkey of the - Twentieth Infantry; Walter Irvine of the Oregon volun- . teers.
