BIG FLEET LEAVES MANILA
Most Important Military Expedition of the
Autumn Campaign.
GENERAL MACARTHUR TAKES MAeklANG
American Troops Occupy Position SIS
Miles Northeast of AnEcles-Eleyen
of ncArthur's Men wounded
in the Engagement.

MANILA, Nov. So p. m.-Thle evening
a fleet Of transports and gunboats left Ma
Mia for the most important expedition OF
the autumn campaign. Its destination is sup
posed to be Dagupan or some other northern
port.
General Wheaton commands with brigade
consisting of the Thirteenth infantry, the
Thirty first infantry, two guns OF the sixth
artillery and two Gatlings. The transports
Sheridan, Francisco de Reyes and Aztec
carry the troops, with the gunboat Helena
as escort
A dispatch boat was sent ahead to ar
range a rendezvous with the United States
| cruiser Charleston and the other warships
that are patrollng the north coast of Lu-
! zon.
The landing will be made under cover OF
| the guns of the feet. 1t Is assumed here
| that the purpose OF the expedition is to
move down the Dagupan Manila railroad
toward Tarlac or to prevent Aguinaido
forces making another base farther north.
Dagupan and Apparri are the strongholds
OF the insurgents in the north and it is sup
posed are the points where most or the NIL
| clustering parties land.
! Since 1.-The beginning Of hostilities IL
has been the unanimous opinion of military
-
base of operations, but sufficient troops have
heretofore been lacking. With Generals
Wheaton, Macarthur and Lawton moving
upon Tarac from three directions and the
mountains hemming in the other side the
insurgent capital will soon become unten-
able.
Aguinaldo may attempt to shift his head
quarters to the rich tobacco country at
the eastern end of the country. Possibly
he may slide around General Lawton's front
to the southern provinces but as Mac
Arthur's and Lawtons troops are spread
across the country from Angeles to Caban-
atuan, 1t will be difficult for the insurgents
to escape.
Should the concerted operations succeed
organized insurrecton, on a large scale
should be at an end early next spring al.
though guerrilla warfare is likely to con
tinue for long time. No one anticipates
that the insurgents will make many hare
, battles. The program is to move the troop!
about the country, to maintain transporta
ton and hold the territory gained.
The moral effect of the arrival of larg
, American army is calculated to sa
Aguinaldo's strength by desertions ant
through loss OF hope among the sup
porters OF the revolutionary movement
Macarthur Takes Mngalnng.
1915 a. m.-Two columns of General Mac

The republicans have been warned Of these

Paul Fletcher, native of Port Elizabeth
South Africa, was furnished transporta-

Sanitary Officer Frank at the expense of
the British ambassador. He left his home
eighteen months ago, and followed the sea
until June of this year, when he left his

he arrived here on the steamer Wakefield
from Coan river, where. he claims he was
iil-treated on an oyster dredger.
