thirty miles east of Dagupau, but

The son Of Gen Llanerss and his fam

teleg1aphs from San Jose that Agui-
naldo did not escape to the northeast
He and his army, the correspondent
adds, are surrounded. His last orders
to the Filipino commanders at San
jose were to hold San Jose at all costs.
The recent encounters were TOO
one-sided to be called fights. The
insurgents are mortally afraid OF the
Americans, however strong their posi-

feeble resistance and ran when the
terrible American yell reach their
ears, whereupon the Americans pursue
them and slay many.
The moral effect Of the news that
so, 900 troops are on their way here has

The insurgents are suffering more
from disease than are Americans, ow-

filthy hospitals, with the result that
there is great mortality among them.
