Ten minutes later we were tramp- ing up the Malolos road. We had barely left Santa Isabela when the firing recommenced, but in such close proximity that the shells seemed actually to burst overhead. Intermin- gling with the roar of the cannonade we distinctly heard the volley firing and the rattling of the rapid-fire guns. Every house on the road was deserted, not an animal remained. Nobody now to shout " Mucho malo Americanos! " as they did when we came down. In less than an hour the church to...wers of the capital appeared above the intervening bamboo thickets, and soon we entered the town — but what a scene presented itself! We had seen panic and confusion the day be- fore, but that couldn't be compared to what we ob- served now.

They all ran into one another. Ofiftcers shouted orders and soldiers shouted back, nobody obeyed.
