MANILA Nov. 21.-General MacAr-
thurs reconnaissance entered Dagupan
during the afternoon. The Americans
found that no insurgents had been
there for four days. The Thirty-third
infantry was probably in Dagupan sew
eral days previous. No insurgents
have been seen anywhere near the rail-
way and it is believed that the only
armed force of any size is in the noun
tains Of Zambesine to the west, al
though there are rumors Of insurgents
seen at San Miguel de Camingu, west
Of Panique. and at Managatrom, west
of Bayom bong. The Twelfth infantry,
battalion Of the Seventeenth infantry
and two troops of cavalry are with
General Macarthur below Dagupan.
General Wheeler has decided not to re-
turn for congress. He is writing a
Letter to President Mckinley
with a request that it be forwarded to
the house of representatives. In the
course of an interview with CORE
spondent of the Associated Press he
said:
Congress, if it occupies the first day
Of the session in passing a resolution
declaring in unmistakable terms that
the sovereignty of the United States is
to be maintained in the Philippines,
thus dispelling Aguinaldo's delusion
that the 'anti-imperialists' can protect
him, will be performing sacred duty.
Such a resolution would save the lives
of American soldiers, thousands Of Fill
pinos, avert famine and suffering and
avoid the expenditure of millions of
dollars"
