Manila, Nov. 21.-The American DC
]runation between Manila m Dagupah
is proceeding with a rush. Gen. Mac
Arthur is within five miles OF DaSu-
pan, which place Gen. Wheaton or
gen Lawton will probably occupy. Inc
railroad is practically intact beyond
Bamban, with the exception OF a DIS
tanee of five miles Forth, and the ralis
for that portion have been discovered.
Large quantities Of rolling stock nave,
however. been destroyed.
Gen. Macarthur is moving his troops
by train and the roads within Gen.
Lawton's territory are becoming pass
able.

ing O'DOnnen by a night march from
Capas on Nov. IS, he surprised the IN
surgent force. numbering 200, n cap
tuIed all OF them with their arms, TO-
600 rounds of ammunition and -four

Manila. Oct. 2t.-The following dis
patches have been received here from
correspondents of the Associated Press
accompanying the American advance
northward:
Corona, Nov. Is. - Gen. Macarthur
entered Corona this afternoon. The
insurgents fed after burning the depot.
Nothing else was destroyed by them.
Corona is the first town along the Ma
Mia agupan railway where the ma
tivcs did not run At the approach or
the Americans. The padres offered
quarters in the converts and churches.
The town has one good house. Corona
is the seat of heavy sugar interests.
The trip was n hard one and Occu-
pied six hours in covering seven miles
and a half, most of the time being
spent in fording a quarter of a mile
food running out of the Rio Tarlac.
We have no wagons. and pack mules
and native bearers carry all Il sup
plies. The natives here say that Bay
ombOng was occupied last Sunday by
the Americans, possibly Gen. Young's
or Gen. LawtOn's division. The people
are a better class than we have usual
" found and they welcomed the Amer
leans as they evidently realize that
their agricultural interests will re-
vive. Gen. Macarthur said this after
neen:
I'VE seem to be entering a different
political atmosphere. The people here
seem to be less attached TO AguinaldO's
cause than those in many towns we
have entered on the railway line"
The command will move nOrthward
at daybreak tomorrow toward Bay
ombong. Corona will be gaTrisoned by
two companies of the Ihirty-siXth.
Immediately on entering Corona Sla-
ven's scouts moved up tie track to-
ward Panique. On the way they en-
]countered an intrenched party of in
surgents whom they drove back and
then entered the town and captured
four locomotives and thirteen cars.
They learned that 500 insurgents had
left the town in the course of the after
loon.
Panique. Nov. 1S.-Gen. MacArthur's
troops arrived from Corona in the
course of the morning. The railway
beyond this point has not been de-
stroyed. The captured railway stock
is being repaired to handle supplies.
The expedition will go north toward
Bayombong probably today. The
signal corps is constructing lines with
great rapidity.
\ native courier from Bayombong
reports that the American troops left
the town o after they entered it and
many natives remain, although no in
surgents. Gen. Macarthur discovered
here Mai. Johnson, formerly chief sur
geon on the staff of the Filipino COM
mander. Gen. Mascardo. He resides
ut BacOlOr and is about TO return there
TO resume his practice. Maj. Johnson
says all respectable Filipinos are dis
gusted at the behavior the Filipinos
and are very glad that the Americans
have the upper hand. Many refugees
are arriving at Panique from the
north, indicating the presence Of other
American troops, probably off the line.
These refugees say the insurgents have
not known which way 70 turn with
the Americans occupying so many
places in the country.
