It was onlv tho adoption of the tactics folloved In In dian lighting In the United States, every man for himself, that saed the divis ion from great loss. General Lawton, as usual, was at the head of his line, with his staff. Scott's battery demol ished a stone-f Minted, trench at riiurt tUUgC. Balinag Captuied.

Washington, May E. The continued rebel demonstrations south of Manila are causing no apprehension to the war department olllclals. as the bri gadts ot Oveushlne and Hall uu said to be ample for every emergency. To gether they have about 4.S00 men, be sides the Twelfth and Ninth icgular Infantry, who have Just arrived at Manila. Ovenshlno's brigade consists of the Fourth and Fourteenth iufan ttles. First Washington, two battalions of the First Idaho, one battalion of tho First Callfnrlan and Dyer and Hawthorne's batteries. Hall's lxl gade consists of tho Seventeenth In fantry and the Flist Womlng. In view of thee sharp tlomonstin tlons to the south, the vvotk done by Law-ton on his expedition to Laguna do bay Is receiving credit not hereto fore accorded It. One of the main tesuliB of tho expedition was to de Httoy the small craft by which the tebelH might have eiossed Hie lake anl moved north on tho tear nf MnoAr thui'B forces. Now they arc hemmed In on a nanow Btrlp of land between the lake and the ocean, unable to crosn the lake, whllo the march is too lon.5 to cltcle the lako to the south. Thus the woik of Law ton In holding tho rebels, some 9,000 In number, to tho south, leaving Mac-Arthur fieo from danger of nn attack in force fron the rear. The report that the Filipinos were ttyltig to break through the American lines Is evidence to tho war depart ment that this folce is booani'liE short of supplies It Is evidently General Otis' Intention to icmuln on the defen sive so long as he can keep this force separate from tlio main body of Agu'ii nldo. It is said Oono-ol Oth. bellve that he can starve this southern aimy Into submission. Malate Is a suburb of Manila, near tho hay.
