that the American army will occupy the
cities south and west. There is no pres
ent talk of another northern movement.
This would leave a triangle between the
railroad and the river that could be easily
held and protected by the United States
troops during the wet season, even though
the insurgents were in much greater force
than they are reported and though they
were inclined to be aggressive, which the
reports indicate they are not.
Lawton's turning in his march to the
north and turning down the Rio Grande
is the natural result of his failure to get
in behind the Insurgents at San Isidro and
to crush them with a blow, according to

The reported dissolution~of the insurgent
forces, which are said to be in bad condi-
ton at Taraac, and the statement in Gem

are taken to indicate that there is some

which there is no official inclination to cal
