1t was reported this morning that
there We're 5000 rebels at the two places,
among them being the famous 73d Fill

lion killed its Spanish officers and then
deserted to Aguinaldo. Aguinaldo him
self is at Marilao, where he is making
desperate attempts to reorganize his
shattered and demoralized forces. What

his next move will be is unknown. He
cannot go to Malabon, as by doing so he
would again expose his army to attack
from the warships. 1t is likely that he
will move up the valley in the direction
of Malolos, the capital of the so-called
Philippine republic.
