According to Arnaldo Dumindin in his narrative on "The Philippine-American War, 1899-1902," the Americans advanced to Malolos along the Manila-Dagupan railway on March 24-31, 1899. Their prime objectives were Malolos, the Filipino capitol, and the capture of Aguinaldo. But first they had to overcome defenses put up by Filipinos along the way.
Among the battles fought during that advance to the north was the BATTLE OF MALABON in 1899.

| The Filipinos may have been captured, but they certainly gave the Americans a good fight, as shown in the news clipping below, where it says, "Americans found the insurgents hard to drive away." |
