WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-A dispatch to
the war department from General Otis
contained the following information:
MANILA, Nov. "a.
"Claim to government by insurgents
can be made nolonger under any fiction;
Its treasurer, secretary of the interior and
president of congress are in our hands;
its president and remaining cabinet of :
fieers are IN hiding. evidently in differ
ent central Luzon provinces; its generals
and troops in small bands are scattered
through these provinces, acting as ban
ditti, or are dispersed and playing. the
role of 'amigoes,' with arms concealed.
The Indications are that AgHinaldo did
not escape through the lines of Lawton
or Wheaton, but fed westward from
Bayambang railway station. .Tele-
graphic communication to Dagupan has
been established and probably will be to
San Fabian today. By relaying nine
miles of track with material aJ hand,
railway communication to that point has
been nre-established. The labor of troops
must attend maintenance"
