Manila, Nov. 1920 a. m.-Gens.
MacArthur's and Lawton's commands
are now near each other. Gen MacAr-
thur is getting supplies in Tarlac over
the railroad from Bamban with an en-
CINE which was raised from the river by
the Ninth infantry.
Col. Howes, who occupied Victoria
with six troops OF the Third cavalry, has
advanced to Rosales. A letter was found
at Victoria, from Private Desmond Of
the signal corps, one of the twenty one
American prisoners held there. The
prisoners, the letter said, were expecting
to be taken to the mountains before the
army arrived.
Two thousand insurgents are reported
to be massing at Corona, above Tarlac,
and Gen. Mascardo is said to be in the
mountains west of Angeles, with 1000
men, proposing to make raids. Rain has
for the past week there has been heavy
downpour. The whole country is in as
bad condition as at any time this season.
Where is Aguina1Go?
Aguinaldo's whereabouts is still the
all-absorbiDg question. No one knows
whether he is now in the Dagupan valley
or whether he has escaped northward
through the gap between Gen. Wheaton
and Gen. Young. Two days ago what
reached the headquarters here that the
rebel leader was at Urdaneta, toward
which town the Americans are now con-
verging.
Gen. Young has reached Tayug and
San Nicholas, which is some distance
northwest of Humingan. The last re-
ports show that Wheaton has made lit
tie or no advance from San Jacinto, so
that there is wide gay left through
which Aguinaldo may slip on his way to
the northern provinces.
Retarded by Rainstorms.
Gen. Macarthur has reconnoitered as
far north as Corona and expects to con-
tinue his advance. His progress has been
retarded by the terrific transforms dur
ing the last week, which have rendered
the roads impossible and have swollen
the streams so that it is impossible to
cross them without boats. This weather
is considered abnormal for November.
The signal corps has found 1t lmp0ssl-
BILE to keep up communication with Gen:
MacArthur's troops. The movement OF
supplies is very difficult and the cavalry
is exhausted.
Gen. Young reports that the Macabebe
scouts have had several encounters with
the enemy. T. w. Hayes, non-com-
Blatant, and Calvin Davis of the Six
insurgents, who were holding them pris-
oners. The wardrobe of Aguinaldo's
wife was captured, but the natives said
she had made her way to the northward.
Logan's Body is Buried.
The body of Maj. John A. Logan, who
was killed Saturday at San Jacinto, was
buried yesterday in Pace cemetery.
Chaplain Pierce officiated and the pail
bearers were the captains of the Twenti-
eth regiment. The salute was fired by
the Twentieth regiment. 1t was found
impossible to send the body home, as in
tended, owing to the impossibility of en-
balming it at San Jacinto, and when it
reached Manila an immediate burial was
necessary. 1t will be sent to the United
States later
Washington, D. c., Nov. IA dis
patch was received at the war depart
ment from Gen. Otis saying that it was
impossible to send the remains to this
country. Five days elapsed before the
body could be sent from the battlefield to
Manila. Gen. Otis says that the serv-
ant of Maj. Logan, with the effects of
the major, sailed on the Sikh for the
United States.
A fine portrait of Maj. Logan has been
sent to the war department by Mrs. Lo-
gan. which is to be placed in the saloon
of the transport Logan.
