He scattered the enemy, who were strongly entrenched to the north and northwest, capturing large amounts of food supplies, and has his detachments to the north and eastward. His successful movement was attended with great difficulty, because of the character of the country, rain and heat. He now covers our railway communication and will be supplied from Malolos. Gen. MacArthur’s column concentrated and took up the ad vance on San Fornando this morning. “I do not apprehend a sharp resistance of the enemy, who will probably leave the railroad and retire in a north erly direction to the north of Lawton.
