DRAWING TO A CLOSE.
The Filipino Insurrection Is On It's
Last Legs According To
All Indications.
AGUINALDO IS SURROUNDED
The Filipinos Are Suffering Greatly From
Sickness And Their Forces Are Much
Disheartened at Rapid American
Advance.

Manila, Nov. 13.-General Young is
supposed to have reached San Nicholas,
about 30 miles east of Dagupan, but his
wagons are far behind Colonel Hayes
captured Aguinaldo's secretary and
ajor Coleman is in Carranglan with an
escort of IT'S Bolomen ON his way to the
province Of Nueva Visaya. u sTTne son OF
General Il. Laneras and family are
prisoners. The general barely escaped.
A correspondent of the Associated Press
with General Young telegraphed from
San Jose that Aguinaldo did not escape
to the northeast. He and his army cor
respondents are surrounded. His last
orders to the Filipino commander at San
Jose were to hold San Jose and Carrang-
Ian at all costs. The recent encounters
were too one-sided to be called fighting.
The insurgents are mortally afraid of
the American however strong their po-
sition. They make but brief and feeble
resistance and run when the terrible
American yell reaches their ear where
upon the Americans pursue them and
slay many.
The moral effect of the news that co.
600 troops are on the way here has been
unquestonably great.
The insurgents are suffering more
from disease than the American owing
to the poor food, the lack of medicines
and the filthy hospital with the result
that there is great mortality among
them. General Lawton intercepted a
telegram from an insurgent captain of
the Filipinos reading: "How can you
blame me for retreating when only IL
men of my company were able to fight
Washington, Nov. 13.-The following
dispatch from General Otis was received
by the War department to-day:
Manila, Nov. 13.-MacArthurs ad-
vance, the Both volunteers and cavalry
troops under Bell, entered Tarlac at 7:1O
p. m. yesterday. The enemy fed. BY
labor Macarthur succeeded in getting
forward to Capas yesterday all the ar
ton and will have command of Tarlac
today, his advance pushing forward to
save as much of the railroad as possible,
which the enemy is trying to destroy on
retreat. There are many deserters from
the enemy. The insurgents of that sec
tion are reported to be short of provis-
ions.
Lawton is pushing forward with great
energy his advance but is obliged to
leave behind all transportation and de-
pend to great extent upon the country
for subsistence.
Hayes, 4th cavalry, in the vicinity of
Carrangan, captured large amount OF
insurgent property and nearly half a
battalion, 400 Boo men transporting
Aguinaldos property north over the
mountains, together with his private
secretary and seven others.
Young, with 3rd cavalry and Batsons
Macabe scouts, followed by the balance
of the battalion, 22nd infantry, leaving
behind all transportation, pushed out
on the San Jose, Lupam, San Quentin
and Mayug road and scattered the enc
my stationed at these points, most of
whom were driven southwestward.
Vessels, with squadron of the third
cavalry, hastened forward to Mayug
where the insurgents supply depot was
captured.
A detachment was sent to San Nicho-
las. 1t is believed that Young estab-
lished communication with Wheaton's
troops last evening. Indications are
that the insurgents will not escape to
the mountain capitals at Bayonbong
without great difficulty and loss, if at
all. Our troops at Tarlac, Ariag, Tall
verag, San Jose, Bapo, Humingan, San
Quintin, Tayug, San Nicholas, on
through to Lingayen Gulf, with a strong
station at Arayat, San Isidro, and Cab
anatuan should cause the insurgents
some annoyance.
Our troops suffered great hardships
and performed the most severe service
but are reported in excellent condition
and spirits. The enterprise and in
domitable will displayed by the officers
was never eXceled.
