III OTIS omcial Report.
washington, Nov. 29.-Otis cables
today:
s"The following is from the northwest
Luzon coast
Young left San Fernando on the 23d
instant, where Marsh's battalion of the
Thirty third Infantry arrived on the
2sth, on which day Young was at
Namacpacan, where he was supplied
by the navy gunboat Samar. He
marched out the next day. The battle
ship Oregon landed 200 men at yigan
on the oath instant with no opposition,
the sailors being welcomed by the in
tabitants. 1t is believed the Spanish
and American prisoners are still in the
Vicinity of Bangued, guarded by a
small insurgent force. Reports from
the northeast indicate that there are
500 insurgent troops at Bayonbong.
NueVn Viscaya province surrendered
yesterday to Lawton's troops. He ad-
vaneed by both San Nicholas and Ca
ranglan trails. Macarthur reports
from tBayambong that Bell with the
Thirty-sixth and a company of the
Thirty third Infantry struck the enc
my, commanded by Gems. San Miguel
and Alejandro, in the mountains west
Of Mangalarin and by a series of COM
bats through the mountains he so scat
tered their forces that concentration is
impossible. Bell has captured all their
quick firing and Krupp guns, ammuni-
tion. their powder factory and arsenal,
with thousands of pounds of lead and
sheet copper. All their transportation,
engineering tools, clothing and food
supplies and property scattered over
the mountains are now being collected.
Twenty Of the killed and injured of the
enemy were left on the field. Bell does
not report the casualties. but they are

DETAILS ARE LACKING.
But 1t is Thought Methuen Has Won
aGreat Victory at NIodder River.

aGreat Victory at NIodder River.
London, Nov. 29.-It is expected that
great battle at the Modt1er river has
been fought and that Methuen has
added another victory to his achieve
ments of the last week. There appears
to be no doubt that Methuen gained
real advantage, though the details
must be awaited before the full effect
of his ten hours desperate fighting can
be guaged. This victory of the British
will clear another stage road to Kim
berley, the siege of which Gen. Cronje
must have partially raised in order to
give battle to Methuen.
