WASHINGTON. Doc. 13-Gensral Otis
had some stirring news to report today
from Manila, his advices going to show
that the insurgents are, as he predicted
few days ago, at the end Of their rs-
sources from a military point Of view
and are melting away before the rapid
advance of the American troops at all
points. His cablegrams wero as follows:
Fifty men of the navy and 10 men
of tho army, transported by tine navy,
took Laog on Dec 10. General Young,
with staff, followed next day. He re-
ports Howse, With Pennsylvania bat
TALON of the Thirty fourth, followed By
O portion of tho Thirty. third infantry,
passed north to Pidding. east OF Laog.
March's battalion Of the Thirty. fourth
was at Cayan, province Of Lepanto, ON
Dec. 2. The Third cavalry was along
the coast end in mountains pursuing
the enemy.
Young states his extreme northern
force passed ever mountains, driving
the insurgents under General Tino, who
was badly wounded, killing 80 and
wounding many. He made large cap.
lures of rifles and property, with all in
the Spanish prisoners in that section to
the number of about 1000. Our casual.
ties were two wounded. Our troops
are still pursuing the remnant Of Tino's
command.
"March's battalion Of the Thirty.
third reports from Cayan, Lepanto
province. on the seventh inst, that he
has destroyed Aguinaldo's bodyguard;
killed General Greggrio Pillar; received
the surrender of General Consepir and
staff; killed and wounded 90 insurgents;
released 575 Spanish prisoners, includ.
ing 150 friars, and captured consider
able property. His loss was two killed
and. nine wounded.
MY information is that Aguinaldo
has disguised his individuality, aban-
doned his troops and is hiding in the
province of Benguet."
General Otis second dispatch follows:
admiral Watson informs me that
the province of Cagayan surrendered un-
conditionally to Captain McCalla Of
the Newark on the eleventh inst all
arms being surrendered. Major Batch.
elder is 80 miles south of Apparri, com.
mand in good condition. Navy will
take supplies to Batchelder in launch At

the province of Caballa.
General Bates, at Zamboanga, re-
ports affairs there satisfactory. Nearly
