Neither Aguinaido Nor the American
Army Will Go Far From 1t.

In a private letter received from Manila
one of the officers of the commissary de-
partment there makes the important state
ment that with the opening of the present
campaign it will be possible to secure ell OF
the live cattle necessary to send forward
with the various columns operating from
Manila. He says that cattle can be secured
from Singapore and Ten-Tsin within ten
days of cabling, and that there is an abun-
dance of native beef of very satisfactory
quality to be found in the islands south Of
Luzon. In addition, he observes that it is
not likely that any arm of the service, eX-
cept the cavalry, will be called upon to OPP
eIate very far from the railroads, as
Aguinado himself must stick compara-
lively close to the railroad line to prevent
trespassing upon the territory of his old
enemies. the hill tribes, of whom he stands
in quite as much fear as he does of the
American troops.
