around so as to straighten out the
line with the result of clearing out the
country between its former position
and Caloocan, leaving the Americans
occupying that place and Strengthening
the entire line of MacArthurs division,
so that it faces again northeast.
1t is noticed at the war department
that General Otis is acting in the for
ward movements only upon evidence
of an insurgent purpose to recognize
and attack the American forces. This
last movement upon Caloocan was
caused by the gathering at that place
of several thousand F'ilipinos, most of
whom had missed the lesson admins
tered to Aguinaldo'S men last Sunday
and filled with a desire for vengeance,
were threatening to- attack Manila it
self. These men having also learned
the quality of the Americans, it is
hoped that there will be little organ
lied resistance in the insurgents TO the
execution of our plans.
General Otis closing comment indi-
Gates that the belief is prevalent among
the cooler heads at Manila that what
is to be apprehended now is the con-
on the part of the insurgents.
General Otis made no reference to the
situation at Iloilo, and nothing has
come to the navy department from that
point, though the presence of several
naval vessels there would seem to be
warrant for an expression of the early
receipt of any important event, such as
the landing of American troops

AN IMPORTANT VICTORY.
Americans In a Position to Capture
Rebel Capital.

Washington, Feb. 11.-General Otis
had another victory to record this
morning and though the action before
CaIoocan did not result in as heavy
loss to the American side as the battle
of last Saturday night and Sunday
morning, it is believed to have quite
important results. Caloocan is on the
line of the railroad connecting Manila
with Malolos, the insurgent capital,
and it may be that the capture of the
1irst-named town viii make it possible
to advance rapidly by rail upon the
insUrgent headquarters ii it shall be
deemed necessary to force the fighting
and undertake the capture of Aguin-
aldo.
The officials here We're encouraged to-
day by General Otis quota ton of the
opinion of credible persons, Filipinos,
il Is understood, to the effect that
Aguinaldo no longer has the power to
keep the insurgents under his lead, as
this points to an early submission Of
the insurgents to the American govern
ment None viii be allowed TO come
into Manila, however, until they have
laid down their arms for good. AS for
Aguinaldo, it is now believed that he
will refuse to the last to make terms
that would meet with the approval of
General Otis, and that when the insur-
rection falls through he will make his
escape to the continent rather than re-
main in IuZOn

AeoNcILLo's EXPLANATION.
Went to Montreal to Send Aguinaldo
the News.

London, Feb. 1.-THE European Fill
pino junta received today a long tele-
gram from Agoncillo, the American
delegate from Montreal declaring he
left Washington in consequence of a
telegram which he received on Feb. 4,
from Aguinaldo, urging him to cable
to Malolos the result Of the vote of
the United States senate on the peace
treaty. AguinaIdo, it appears, added
ct is of the most urgent importance
that we should at once be acquainted
with the decision, as we are negotiat-
ing with General Otis and the vote
will vitality affect the negotiations"
Agoncillo further declares that as he
was closely Swallowed by the American
authorities to dispatch this telegram
would have been impossible and he
therefore proceeded to British terri
tory.
AgonciIlo also says he was persuaded
the treaty would not be ratified and
points out that 'the three votes by
which it was passed were only OBJ
tanned at the last moment and as the
result of the outbreak of hostilities."

Praise For Americans.

London, Feb. ia dispatch to Reu-
ter's telegraph company from Manila,
describing the capture of Caloocan,
dwells upon the excellence of the
American plans and the precision With
which they were carried out
The dispatch adds: AT D. m. the
American ships ceased firing. Then the
army fired three guns, at an interval
of ten seconds. signalling the advance
of the whole line, the Kansas regiment
leading through the jungle. The rebels
left wing was diverted by Major Bell
and a hundred men. 1t was like clock
work. There was no hitch anywhere.
The rebels, estimated to have num-
bered 10000 men, were demoralized by
the shells The Americans advanced in
open order. At 500 yards there was a
halt, and then a charge and the rebels
Stampeded from. their trenches, which
were admirably constructed.
The Americans refrained from vast
ing ammunition, but rushed on without
firing and used their bayonets and the
butts of their rifles. There was heavy
slaughter. The railroad is practically
uninjured. Today the ships are she'll
ing beyond Caloocan. The Americans
will probably reach Malabon today and
Malolos in fortnight.

Captain Jasper z. Brady is preparing
for publication, as the urgency of his
work at Santiago de Cuba allows him
time book of his own experiences as
a telegraph operator and train dis
patcher. He has already l believe
published some of these experiences as
magazine articles, but he has had no
end of them, and if there were occa-
sion, he could bring together enough
for several books. Although he is still
quite a young man, he had good long
term of it in the telegraph service be-
fore he entered the army, and he has
had not a little of the same service
since. His Office at Santiago is that of
superintendent of telegraph, and since
the close of the war he has directed the
erection of a good many miles of wire
there and brought into existence a
very creditable telegraph service He
has been home for several weeks now,
partly on sick leave and partly for con
sultatiOn with the war department, but
started back few days ago. Captain
Brady began his military career as a
volunteer in the ranks in time of peace.
He soon won promotion, and when the
war with Spain broke out, was a sec
ond lieutenant. Almost Immediately
he rose to a captaincy. and throughout
the war held the delicate post of super
intendent of telegraph and censor of
