Of much larger army here, without

in Manila, it would be attempting the i'm
possible to expect to establish American
supremacy in the Philippine islands. The
inadequacy OF the American forces is said
to be responsible for the large total loss

Most of the fighting has been in territory
which the Americans had swept, but hsd

could not spare the troops to hold it.
The forces commanded by Generals Mac
Arthur and Lawton hold two important
lines of communication and commerce, the
