MEN EN- ROUTE.
Approximately 5000 men are on their
way to join Gen. Otis in four separate
expeditions, though none are expected
to reach Manila for three weeks or a
month. There are the Fourth and four
companies of the Seventeenth infantry,
1928 men, under Gen Lawton, which
sailed from Gibraltar last Friday; the
seven officers and 1858 men, under Gen.
Wheaton, which left San Francisco Jan.
27; the Twenty-second infantry, In
command of Col. Egbert, which left
San Francisco early in the present
month. and 1000 men and officers of
the Third and Seventeenth regiments
of infantry, which left New York Fri
day on the Sherman.
There is big transport, the Sheri-
dan, now making ready in New York,
to carry the Twelfth infantry and a
battalion Of the Seventeenth infantry,
1,S2O men in all, and she will start not
later than the 18th inst. That Is all
that can be supplied to Gen. Otis in the
way of reinforcements, according to
Gen. Corbin if the soldiers are to be of
service in this campaign. More. of

can be gotten ready, if Gen. Otis needs

plan, but, as already stated, it is, be-
lieved this particular crisis will have
passed before they can be transported

States to Manila.

Agoncillo says that he has been una

owing to the strict censorship exer-

circumstances, to place himself beyond
the jurisdiction, so that he will be able

He says he knows nothing of battle

the Battle.
MANILA, Monday, Feb. go a. M
The Filipinos have apparently reached
the conclusion that the Americans
mean business, now that the barriers
are removed. as there were no further
hostilities last night and no attempt
was made to recover lost ground. 1t
is possible, however, that they are fol-
lowing the tactics they employed
against the Spaniards, and will merely
lie off a few days to recuperate their
forces before returning to the attack.
1t is impossible to ascertain as yet
how the news was received at Malolos,
the seat of the insurgent government,
but the F'ilipinos in Manila express the
opinion that the movement for indie
pendence has received it's death blow.

this evening Of the following official
dispatch from Gen. Rios, the Spanish

The insurgents have violently attacked and
captured almost the whole of the exterior

Calocan, Pace and several towns in the
neighborhood. Both sides suffered material

consequences Of the fighting, especial
