Marching north from Malolos across the Bagbag, American commander Arthur MacArthur attacked Philippine General Antonio Luna at Calumpit on the Rio Grande. When General Frederick Funston’s Kansans boldly swam the river under heavy fire to draw the boats across, MacArthur captured Calumpit. He later continued north to secure San Fernando.
