that there will be little delay in opening tho
regular cam pniRn against the insurgents. That
Gen. Otis has prepared a we'll defined plan for
the conduct OF operations against the Fiipinos
Ia well known to the Secretary Of War. 1t 10
admitted that tho particular objective OF the
American forces is Tarlac. where ARuinnldo
has made his headquarters. Gen. Lawton's
expedition to San Isidro was for the purpose
of establishing at that place permanent sta
ton, with sufficient supplies to last during
several months active operations. and Gen.
Otis in his despatch to-day says that Gen.
Layton has established this permanent sta
zion and that three months supplies are now
being forwarded to him. Gen. Otis remarks
that the supplies are going by the San Juan
River route. Former dispatches have said
that supplies were being forwarded by the Rio
Grande de la Panga. and as this river is FREE
Quently mentioned by different names 1t Is be-
lieved that Gen. Otis reiers to 1t.
From the latest reports received at the War
Departm emit 1t 10 believed that Gen. Young's
advance to Cabanatuan 10 flank movement
for the purpose OF heading off airy movement
OF the insurgents eastward from Tarlac.
Cabanatuan is about fifteen miles north OF
Ban Isdro and less than twenty-five miles due
r, kInoA Art wi n
large force OF troops is now at Angeles. about
twenty five miles south OF Tarlac.
A concerted movement against Tarlac by the
forces under Gen. Macarthur and Gen. Law
ton will probably be the opening OF the fall
campaign. 1t is not believed at the v ~ de-
partment that this movement will begin for
several weeks. and II Is proposed to strengthen
tho garrisons at Angles and San Isdro. 1t is
not lmpro ba BILE that before this movement be-
gins mother garr ison will be established In the
country to the north OF Tarlac. An officer who
recently returned from Manila is authority for
the statement that Gen. Otis had in contem.
pation the sending OF several thousand troops
10 Dagupan, on the Gulf OF Lingayen. which Is
about fifty miles north OF Tarlac. Should Gen.
Otis decide to do this. 1t 10 almost
certain that a concerted movement against
Aeuinaldos headquarters would be de-
landed at Dagupan. 1t Ia regarded as
significant In this connection that Gen. Otis
