Fall of San Fernando proves swift rebel retreat
Major General MacArthur's division seized San Fernando after the rebels evacuated the town, leaving a small cover detachment to retreat by train. Rebel attacks on Malate and San Pedro Macati failed to disrupt American lines as Lawton's expedition reported harder early-week fighting and jungle tactics that reduced losses. Secretary Hay hailed progress toward peace in the Philippines while Aguinaldo's forces faced surrender terms, and Cuban anti-American sentiment surfaced at Havana events. Sunrise at 4 52 and sunset at 7 01 noting Iowa Nebraska and South Dakota weather with showers anticipated.
