Mako Important Captures.
Manila, Nov. l4.-Gen. Young Is sup
posed to have reached San Nicolas,
about 30 miles east Of Dagupan, but
his wagons are far behind. Col.
Hayes has captured Aguinaldo's secre-
tary and Maj. Coleman Is In Carranglan
with an escort Of $50 bolomen on his
way TO the province of Nueva visay.
The son OF Gen. Laneras and his
family are prisoners. The general
barely escaped.
The correspondent Of the Associated
press with Gen. Young telegraphs from
San Jose that Aguinaldo did not es-
cape to the northeast. He and his
army, the correspondent adds, are sur
rounded. His last orders to the Fill
Pine commander at San Jose were to
hold San Jose and Carranglan at all
costs.
The recent encounters were too one
sided to be called fights. The insur-
gents are mortally afraid of the Ameri-
cans, however strong their position.
They make but brief and feeble re-
sistance and run when the terrible
American yell reaches their ears, where
upon the Americans pursue them aud
slay many. The moral effect of the
news that 10000 troops are on their
way here has been unquestionably
great.
The insurgents are suffering more
from disease than the Americans, ow-
ing to poor food, lack Of medicines and
filthy hospitals, with the result that
there Is great mortality among them.
Gen. Lawton has intercepted tele-
gram from an insurgent captain to u
Filipino general, reading: "How can
you blame me for retreating when only
IL Of my company were able to fight"
Otis Tells Of Brilliant Fighting.
