Manila, Nov. 1910 a. m.-When Col
onel Bell left Capas, ten miles from Tar
lac at o'clock yesterday, he intended
merely to reconnoitre. He had with him
the Thirty ysXth Infantry, Slaven's
scouts, Troop e, of the Fourth Cavalry
and battalion of the Twenty second
regiment and Gatling guns.
The scouts mounted, preceded the main
body up the railroad They met hum
dred rebels at Aurcia, but the insurgents
| quickly retreated. The scouts found the
depot burning, but extinguished the fire
and saved the building.
| The main column MARCHED up the wa
gon road, but before reaching Tarlac di-
lyided, entering the town on two sides at
! SNe'clock, not a shot being fired. The
| Insurgents had evacuated the place only
few hours before, setting fire to the
| railway station and the rolling stock.
| They left rear guard of four hundred
men who however. failed to make
stapd and cover the retreat of the main
force of insurgents, as they had probably
been ordered to do

reaches their ears whereupon the Ameri-
cans pursue them and slay many.
The moral effect of the news that CO.,
600 troops are ON their way here has
been unquestionably great.

from disease than the Americans owing
to poor food, lack of medicines and
