General Green, who directs the active
field operations, has established mis- head
quarters near the sea shore under the
guns of the warships, about 1000 yards
from the Spanish position and from 800
to 1000 yards distant from the insurgent
lines, which approach at one point within
$50 yards of the enemy.
Here occur daily attacks, which are
usually begun by the insurgents. Often
these are apparently severe, but they
have little result and cause few losses.
The Americans have not yet returned a
single shot, although they are constantly
under fire
The situation at the front is most ex-
traordinary. Each force is guarding its
own lines, but the insurgents are little
better than an armed rabble. They pass
freely through the American camp and
mingle with the troops, but they render
no assistance and are, indeed, rather a
hindrance to the operations.
Arrogance of Insurgents.
| am reluctant to believe the report
that certain prominent official assured
Aguinaldo that the Americans came sim
ply to support the insurgent cause ana
establish republic, yet the attitude OF
the insurgents, particularly since Aguin-
aldo's recent act announcing his plans
for the future republic, seems ample con
frmation. The insurgent leaders are ag-
gressively arrogant and make no move to-
wards recognizing American authority
General Merritt has not thus far met
| Aguinaldo.
The condition of the Spanish prisoner:
confined by the insurgents at Cavite i:
most deplorable and has aroused the pity
and sympathy of General Merritt, who
begins to issue rations today without ad
vising Aguinaldo.
This is probably the first step towards
assuming proper authority over the in
surgents, who had hitherto been treated
as masters of the situation. The attitude
of the insurgents is the only difficulty il
the way of an immediate settlement o
the whole matter.
