Dispatches dated Conception, De-

According to these advices, General
Young was at Condor November 80,
having three troops of the Third cav
airy, Cunningham's scouts and Major
March's battalion OF the Thirty-third
infantry.fThe nominal strength OF his
command has been reduced one-third
by sickness. The horses were worn
out and handicapped by lack Of shoes.
The infantry, after a march Of 100
miles from San Jacinto, were shoeless
The troops had no ammunition except
what they carried in their belts. Gen
eral Young had then been without
communication with General Lawton
for ten days, and, not knowing the
disposition of other troops or whether
support was sent forward, resolved to.

General Pillar and five women and 400
soldiers of his faithful Bulcnn bat

ceeded toward Vigan, hoping to at
tack General Tino with his handful of
men and to prevent him joining Ag-

thirteen hours without food.
The Associated Press correspondent
goes on to say:
''The Americans found the insur-
gents had impressed the Igorrotes,
compelling them to dig trenches and
to construct pitfalls along the trails,
which were fearful travelling at the
best. One stream had to be forded
twelve times in the course Of a mile.
These ~inoffensive, stupid creatures,
usually pictured as bloodthirsty saw
ages, cheerfully turned to undo their
own work and actually went foraging
for the Americans. The Ilocos region
is the richest the Americans have en-
tered in the northern campaign. The
Ilocos are prosperous, intelligent and
more than half civilized. They have
excellent houses and carry on flourish
ing industries. Many of them are evil
IDENTIFY itch. Several towns received
the troops with bands and the ringing
of church bells. Cattle were killed
and houses were opened to the roops.
How much of this display was sin
cere and how much due to a desire to
propitiate the conquerors. it would be
hard to say. There were evidences
that similar hospitality had been ex-
tended to Aguinaldo. The people de-
scribcd him as cheerful, hugging the
hope of salvation through American
politics and everywhere trying TIC
maintain support by proclaiming.
with seeming sincerity, that the
United States congress would certain.
ly recognize the independence of the
Filipino republic in December.
Many of the citizens exhibited notes
from Lieutenant Gilmore and other
cipicnts were recommended to the
Americans on the score of kindness
shown to the writer's. There are TWEEN.
ty-sevcn Americans with Gilmore. An.
other party Of fourteen was taken
through Ilocoss a week ahead of Gen.
eral Young. They were ragged ano
dirty, and the natives say some OF
them were urged forward at the point
of the bayonet."
