meht can no longer claim to exist it's
troops and officials are scattered and Ag-
uinaldo in hiding. The GIspatch fol-
lows:
Manila, Nov. 24.-Claim to government
by the insurgents can be made no longer
by any fiction; its treasurer, secretary of
interior and president of congress in our
hands; its president and remaining cabi-
net officers in hiding, evidently in differ
ent central LuzOn provinces its generals
and troops in small bands scattered
through these provinces acting as bandit
II, or dispersed, playing the role of ''ami-
gOS With arms concealed. Indications
are that Aguinaldo did not escape through
the lines of I4aWtOn or Wheaton but fled
westward from Bayombong railroad sta
ton. Telegraphic communication to
Dagupan established, probably to San Fe-
blan today; by reiaying nine miles Of
track with material at hand railroad com.
munication to that point re-established;
labor Of troops must attend mainten-
ance."
