Manila, Nov. 29.-The insurgents
have evacuated Mangaiaren, province
Of Pangasana, leaving seven American
and ninety Spanish prisoners who es-
capped in the confusion OF the Filipino
retreat. The Americans are j. p.
Green and George Powers, of the bat
tieship Oregon; Thomas Edwards and
Charles Bird, Of the Sixteenth infan-
Try; Henry w. James, Twelfth infan-
try; JOHN Desmond, of the signal
corps, and +. II. Huber, of loves
scouts. They report that Two Amer
leans, unable to escape, are with the
insurgents. They are David Scott, of
the Iwenty-fourth infantry and Sam
Sherry, of the hospital corps. -Four
deserters are with the Filipinos. How
ard, Martin and Ford, of the Caiifor-
aians, and Watts, whose former regi-
ment is unknown. Howard is the only
one serving with the insurgents. He is
4 captain of artillery.
Colonel Bell, of the Thirty-fourth
volunteers, arrived at Mangalaren last
evening after n hard march and ford
Gg the Agno.
He found that Fowler's' company of
lhe Thirty-third occupied the owl for
,wo days, the insurgents, under Ale
%andrino, %retreating to the mountains
shind the town, short of food and
ammunition. Besides this his men are
deserving and six cannon, which the
insurgents were dragging, impeded
their march. Bell proposes to follow
the Filipinos until he can bring about
! decisive fight, or they IRE scattered.
Mangalaren is strongly fortified with
rifle pits commanding the roads, but
he insurgents abandoned the place
without firing a shot.
Otis Account.
Washington, Nov. 29.-General Otis
.ables as follows:
Steamer from San Fabian yester-
lay brought lis Spanish prisoners,
$4,000 OF i%nsurgent government
money and other property captured
hyy Lnwton near Tayug on the 25th.
Wl.eaton's troops and Fowler's con-
..any of the Thirty-third drove enemy
westward from Mangataren, a few
miles southwest of Dagupan. Cap
iured five 3-inch muzzle loading guns
and a large amount of ammunition.
Indications are that two or three bod
les of insurgent troops, numbering
probably 500 or more men each, are
in the mountains west of the railroad.
They can be readily handled by Mac
Arthur. They have the bulk of in
surgent artillery, nll of which will be
captured unless buried. Young is
still in pursuit of A%guinaldo, who is
heading for B%angued, a few miles east
of Nigan. ioung's reception by the
inhabitants is enthusiastic; they give
him all the aid possible. Aguinaldo
has collected more than 1000 of his
troops; probably most of them will
desert him. A number of small de-
tachments of insurgent troops
throughout the country north of Ma
Mia have been captured and the in
habitants manifest gratitude for their
deliverance. The indications are that
the insurgent force south of Manila is
disintegrating: troops are going to
their homes. Reports from southern
islands are favorable. zamboangu in
surgents surrendered to our troops.
No trouble is anticipated there"
