People of the Town, Who Are of the
Better Class, Welcome Americans.

Companies of the seth Regiment, and
Gen. MacArthur Will Proceed
Toward BayOmbong.


dispatches have been received here
from correspondents accompanying the
American advance north.
GERoNA, Nov. 1S.-Gen. Macarthur
entered Corona, as already cabled this
evening. The insurgents had fled last
Monday, after burning the depot.
Nothing else was destroyed by them.
Corona is the first town along the
Manila Dagupan railway line where
| the natives did not run at the approach
| of the Americans.
The padres offered quarters in the
church and convent The town has
| one good house. Corona is the seat OF
heavy English sugar interests.
The trip here was a hard one, and
occupied six hours in covering seven
miles and half, most Of the time be-
ing spent in fording a quarter of a
mile flood running out of the Rio Tar
lac. We have no wagons, and pack
mules and native bearers carry all our
supplies.

bong was captured last Sunday by
mounted troops, probably Gen. Young's
brigade of Gen. Lawton's division.
The people here are of a better class
than we have usually found, and they
welcomed the Americans, as they evil
| IDENTIFY realize that their agricultural
interests will revive.
Gen. Macarthur said this afternoon:
We seem to be entering different at
mosphere. The PEOPLE here seem to
be less attached to Aguinaldo's cause
than those in many towns we have
entered on the railroad line.
The command will move northward
at day break tomorrow toward Bayom-
bong. Corona will be garrisoned with
two companies of the seth.
Immediately on entering Corona
Slaven's scouts moved up the track to-
ward Panique. On the way they en-
cOuntered an entrenched party of in
surgents whom they drove back, then
entering the town and capturing four

cabled. They learned that 500 insur-
gents had left the town in the course
of the afternoon.
PANIQUE Nov. 1S.-Gen. MacArthur's
troops arrived from Corona in the course
of the morning. The railroad beyond
this point has not been destroyed.
The captured railway stock is being
repaired to handle supplies. The ex-
petition will go north toward Bayom-
borg probably to-day. The signal
corps are constructing lines with great
rapidity.
A native courier from Bayombong
reports that the American troops left
the toNn soon after they entered and
that many natives remain, although
no insurgents.
A continuous procession of refugees
is entering Panique from the north,
indicating the proximity of other
American troops probably off the rail-
road line. These refugees say that
the insurgents have not known which
|
cupying SO many places in the north.
Panique is rich sugar town. Some
of the wealthy Chinese and the poorer
natives fed at the first approach of our
troops, but they are now confidently
returning. The rain has ceased, the
weather is fine and the country is dry
ing rapidly.
Moncada, 1890 a. m. Advancing
through the enemy's country by train
from Panique distance of five miles
the Americansreached Moncada where
the natives have displayed friendly
disposition. The train is stalled here
by the wreck of two locomotives and "a
cars evidently intentional, on the main
track. The freight house and depot
had been burned. No attempt will be
made to save the wrecked rolling
and as soon as two small breaks have
been repaired, the expedition will con-
tinue northward. Thus far the adj
vance has been complete success.
Capt. Carr. of the signal corps, has laid
a wire from Panique.
