Orders for my Batt’n and one other to go to San Pedro Macati, Tuesday. Lt. Meade & E. Co. surprise Filipino outpost at daylight this morning. Killing 5 & mortally wounding one & capturing 7 rifles. No casualties on our side. Bullard sent out his band tonight & gave me a complimentary concert. Dear old Billig – if his services here is proportionate to his worth it will be unbounded. Considerable firing this evening just after dark.
