Manila, Dec 11.-An expedition
headed by the battleship Oregon left
Manila for Subig Saturday night. It is
reported that the Filipino commander
General Alejandrino, with his staff,
has surrendered to General Macarthur,
and there is also a rumor that AleJan-
drino is at Aguilar, suffering from a
wound received in a fight between in
surgents and bandits, and that he will
be given an opportunity to surrender
and will be properly cared for.
Major Spence, with a column of the
Thirty-second regiment, captured a
new insurgent camp, an uncompleted
stronghold, in the Tassan district. He
left Dinalupan at daybreak Saturday
and marched ten miles along noun
tain trails, finally encountering a
large band of insurgents, who retreat
ed after a brief skirmish. The Ameri-
cans had no losses.
The records of the treasury of the
so-called Filipino government, to-
gether with quantity of paper money

| found at Mangatarem.
Three Americans who, with a commits
sary sergeant of the Twelfth infantry,
were travelling from San Fernando to
! Angels, left their escort for a moment
and went into the bush. AS they did
not return speedily search was made

Americans dislodged them. 1t seems

Colonel Julio Delrio, DO is among
the released Spaniards that have just
arrived here, gives an interesting YER
sion of the famous Irene incident il
Subig bay in July of last year. He
was formerly in command of the
Spanish troops in the Olongapo dis
trict. His narrative is corroborated by
Senior Rafael Rosello, wealthy Span
ish merchant, who also fell into the
hands of the insurgents.
Both declare that the Spaniards sur
rendered to Captain Coghlan, of the
United States cruiser Raleigh, on al
express agreement that they were mo-
to be given up to the Filipinos, ant
they assert that the Spanish govern
ment has promised to press theil
claims against the United States fol
their long Imprisonment.
Colonel Del Rio says:
Captain Coghlan gave his word tha
our capitulation would be accepted
as it was made, that is, to the Ameri
cans He promised that we SHOULD
not be given into the hands of the in
surgents, and | believe he was sin
cere. Later the Concord went to Ca
