to avenge the assassination by Aguinaldo's s
officers, and who asks a personal interview
with the military governor According to
the commissioners statement, Aguinaldo,
who is still at Tarlac with 5000 troops,
wishes to continue the war, although he
has a high opinion of the American officers
and soldiers General Lawton he calls Eel
General de la Noche' Ghe night generaD,
because that nder has attacked him
so often in the darkness that he never
knows when to look for him. Aguinaldo Is

rice from the northern provinces.
With the Spanish commissioners came a
large number of women, the families of

army, who recently applied to General Otis
for permission to send their families to
Manila. Upon the receipt of the military
governors reply, the nature of which has
not been disclosed, the women and children
started under escort from Tarlac for the
American lines. When they arrived today
General Macarthur compelled them to halt
about mile beyond our outposts, where
they will remain while their credentials are
being examined.
