Upon their arrival they were inundated
with invitations covering both day and
night, and express surprise at the con-

had been led to believe that everything
was chaotic, and are delighted at the
reception accorded them.

troops now left are 1000 men. under
Gen. Luna, ut Tarlac, and about 1000
men under Gen. Pho del Pillar. Even
these are demoralized and short of arms
and supplies. Many of their rifles are
disabled and the Filipinos are unable
to repair them owing to the lack of
mechanics and materials for SO 6s.ng.
