Take Everything before Them ana
Mako Important Captures.
Manila, Nov. 14.-Gen. Young is sup
posed to have reached San Nicolas,
about 80 miles east of Dagupan, but
his wagons are far behind. Col
Hayes has captured Aguinaldo's secre-
tary and Maj. Coleman is in Carranglan
with an escort of $50 bolomen on his
way to the province of Nueva Visay.
The SON of Gen. Laneras and his
family are prisoners. The general
barely escaped.
The correspondent of the Associated
press with Gen. Young telegraphs from
San Jose that Aguinaldo did not es-
cape to the northeast. He and his
army, the correspondent adds, are sur
rounded. His last orders to the Fill
pino commander at San Jose were to
hold San Jose and Carranglan at all
costs.
The recent encounters were too one
sided to be called fights. The insur-
gents are mortally afraid of the Ameri-
cans, however strong their position.
They make but brief and feeble re-
sistance and run when the terrible
American yell reaches their ears, where
upon the Americans pursue them and
slay many. The moral effect of the
news that 10000 troops are on their
way here has been unquestionably
great.
The insurgents are suffering more
from disease than the Americans, ow-
ing to poor food, lack of medicines and
filthy hospitals, with the result that
there is great mortality among them.
Gen. Lawton has intercepted a tele-
gram from an insurgent captain to a
Filipino general, reading: "How can
you blame me for retreating when only
IL of my company were able to fight"
Otis Tells of Brilliant Fighting.
Washington, Nov. 1.-the follow
ing dispatch from Gen. Otis was re-
ceived at the war department to-day:
Manila, Nov. 13.-MacArthurs advance with
Thirty-sixth volunteers and cavalry troop I'M
der Bell entered Tarlac 7:lO p. m. yesterday.
Enemy fed. By great labor Macarthur sue
ceeded in getting forward to Capas yesterday
all artillery and quartermaster's transportation
and will have command in Tarlac to-day, his
advance pushing forward to save much of
railroad as possible, which enemy tried to de-
stroy on retreat. Many deSerters from enemy,
who passed into Macarthur some b rifles yes
C6rQay. insurgents In CnaC SectlOn reported TO
be short of provisions.
Lawton is pushing forward with great energy.
His advance obliged to leave behind all trans
portation and depend to great extent upon the
country for subsistence. Hayes Fourth cav
airy. in vicinity of Carranglan, has captured
q large amount of inSurgent property and nearly
a half battalion of 40 bolomen transporting
Aguinaldo's property north over mountains,
together with his private secretary and seven
officers.
Young, with Third cavalry and Batson's
Macabebe scouts, followed by balance OF bat
TALON of Twenty second infantry. leaving be-
hind all transportation pushed out on San Jose
Lupam, San Quentin and Mayug road and scat
tered enemy stationed at these points, most Of
whom were driven southwestward Vessels
with squadron of Third cavalry FASTENED for
ward to Mayug. where insur gents supply de-
pot was captured, securing several hundred
thousand pounds Of rice. $500 pounds Of flour,
$500 pounds of salt and other provisions, 1909
uniform coats (new) many blankets and other
articles of clothing, also number OF insurgent
officers and 50 Spanish and two American pris-
oners. Detachments sent north to San Mich
olas and it is believed that Young established
communication with Wneaton's troops last
evening. Indications are that insurgents will
not escape to mountain capitals at Bayonbong
without great difficulty and loss. If at all.
Our troops at Tarlac. Ar ag, Taliverag San
Jose Bapo, Humingan, San Quentin, Tayug, San
strong station at Arayat, San Isidro and Ca
banatuan should cause insurgents some annoy
ance. Our troops have suffered great hardShipS
and have performed most severe service, but
are reported in excellent condition and spirits.
The enterprise and indomitable will displayed
by officers never excelled.

ceived a second dispatch from Gen.
