insurgents made feint on linus
last night. Three enlisted men were
wounded: their loss was two killed, one
captured. They quickly withdrew. Ad-
ditional troops were sent from Manila
to-day. The insurgents will be driven
south.
Reports from Negros are encourag-
ing. The chief insurgent leader in the
north of the island has surrendered vol
UNFAIRLY, More planting is being done,
and more sugar mills are at work than
at any time since the revolution against
Spain began. officers report the peo-
pie apparently cheerful and hopeful
that the form of government in opera
ton is well suited to their conditions
and is working smoothly
The War Department officials are
disposed to account for the sudden &C
tivity developed by the insurgents
South of Manila, as reported this
morning on the assumption that the
insurgent general in command there,
who is believed to be Pho del Pillar, has
received notice through some of his
spies of the desperate straits of Agui-
naldo and is manfully trying to create
a diversion in his favor by attacking
the American force in the rear. He oc-
cupies strong defensive ground and Ca
vite province, the home of Aguinaldo
has never been taken by the Span1ards
since the first hostilities. Gen. Schwan
assisted by the marines from the naval
station at Cavite made raid through
the territory last summer but 1t was
during the wet season, the SWampS
were deep, and beyond driving the in
surgents off temporarily nothing sub
stantial was achieved, and the country
was abandoned to the insurgents. Now
however. with the advent of the dry
season the time is ripe for the execu-
ton of the plans of Gen. Otis to clear
out this country permanently and car
ry out his favorite project for the in
stallment in the province of local mu-
nicipal governments and Gen. Grant,
in command there is being reinforced
with that special object.
MANILA, November 25.-10:30 p. m.
The movement against the insurgents
in the island of Panay has resulted in
Iriv n no mn fol
miles inward. The troops engaged were
two battalions of the Nineteenth regi-
ment, a battalion of the Twenty-sixth
regiment, the Eighteenth regiment,
Gordon's mounted scouts and Bride
mans battery of the Sixth artillery.
The Americans in all lost five men kill
ed and had thirty-eight men wounded.
Gen. Hughes, Col. Carpenter and Col.
Edmund Rice commanded during the
various fights.
Thirty-two insurgents were killed in
the engagements and the natives re-
ported that nineteen carloads of
wounded were taken away. Among the
Americans killed was lieutenant of the
Eighteenth regiment and a sergeant of
artillery.
Twelve obsolete cannon was cap
;4red.
Santa Barbara and Maasin arsenal
were deserted before the Americans ar
rived. The insurgents, seeing it was
impossible to resist the movement, re-
tired with most of their stores. The
Third infantry accommodating from
Balinag, met the insurgents on the
main road and had running fight to
San Ildefonso, where they drove three
hundred Filipinos from an old Spanish
redoubt. Proceeding towards San
Tiguel, the Americans found the in
surgents in series of strong works
two miles south of the town, probably
Gen. Pho del Pillars old command, num-
bering $50 men. An officer was killed
and private was wounded. The in
surgents had four men killed and ten
wounded. Nine Filipinos were cap
tured. This is probably the largest
band of insurgents north of the Pasig
river.
