MADRID, July ls.-on 5uly 10 Gen. Primo do
Rivera, captain-General of tho Philippine
Islands, cabled that twenty soldiers and two
corporals from native battalion "a had deserted
to the enemy. He announced also that In fights
during the week the Spanish had had two dead
ana sixteen wounded, while the insurgent losses
had boon seventy.hve dead and twenty-five
prisoners.
This report caused considerable alarm. Only
afew days earlier the Captain.G General had con-
hrmed the news that the islands were paciiod.
To-day the newspapers publish tho following
despatch from Gen. Primo de Rivera:
"Nasugbu captured. Five thousand sovcn
hundred and hfty.twop persons surrendered there.
Loco Will also DO captured. and thus peace will
DO assured in the district. Important chiefs
and also the family OF Aguinaldo surrendered
yesterday, which was the last day of the time
liked In the amnesty decree. II the columns
and authorities comply with my instructions.
the remaining insurgents will be forced to sur
render through starvation, and only bandits
will remain in the field. Two steamers leave
to-day for Spain. carrying Gen. Garde, 9S
officers, and 1907 p~rivatcs. The native bat
talions have been dissolved"
ION July ID the NeD Fork Herald published o
despatch from Madrid speaking of the capture

of "Aguinalbo." As the official text shows, 1t
was Aquinaldo's family and not that insurgent
leader who surrendered. The family was proba-
bly, living at Nasugbu.l
This despatch gave rise to no end Of comment
1t was pointed out that the normal population
Of Nasugbu was around 600 inhabitants. and,
consequently, those who are said to have sur
rendered must be the peaceable residents Of tho
town. as was the case whom other towns
were captured in February and March.
Gen. Primo do Rivera was criticised for
not giving the names of tho important
chief" who had surrendered. The dissolution
Of the native battalions was looked upon as an
indication that further assertions were feared,
and. finally, the return to Spain Of SO consider
able a number of soldiers was considered as a
confirmation of private advices to the effect
that anemia and other diseases had rendered
useless a large part Of the Spanish army in tho
Philippines.
Yesterday tho Dia,to de Barcelona published
an interesting letter from Manila, OF which this

inviting them to join tho insurgents and thus
wipe out the shame OF having fought their
brethren.
"soluicrs from tho native battalions 70 and
"a are deserving to the enemy with arms and
munitions. These battalions had until now
given many proofs Of their loyalty to Spain. De-
sertions are attributed to two causes. One is
lated by having been employed In destroying

other cause is the Influence which the women
