After the sharpshooters had been firingion General King and his staff, killing a driver, and also firing on an ambulance of the Red Cross society. Colonel Duboce ordered the huts to be cleared and burned. The Filipinos concentrated in Paco church and convent, where they made a a determined stand in the upper stories.
A platoon of Californians stationed on a neighboring bridge maintained a hot fire on them, but were unable to dislodge them. In the tace of a terrible fusilade Colonel Du boce and a few volunteers dashea into the church, scattered coal oil inside of it, set fire to the oil and retired. Meanwhile Captain Dyer's battery of the Sixth' Artillery bombarded the church, dropping a dozen shells into the tower and roof. Company and part of Com-' pany of the Californians, charged into the building, but were unable to ascend the single flight of steps leading to the story above. A company of the Idaho and Washington men, stationed on each side of the building, picked off the Filipinos as they were smoked out.
Many of the natives, however, escaped in the brush in the rear of the church. The Americans captured fifty- three of them, and during the fighting about the church twenty natives were killed.
