A cable fr.m Manila says: Morally
The insurgents have been harder hit this
week than at any time during the re-
oellion. In spite of the extraordinary
difficulties attending the various move
ments the American troops have pushed
forward steadily. Every day they have
engaged the rebels at some point. There
has been no severe fighting. The work
which has been mostly in the nature of
reconnaissance, has been remarkably
mccessfol. Constant fighting along an
extended line appears to be demoraliz.
ing to the rebels. who refuse to stand
md fight.
There is a feeling Of hopefulness pre-
eailing in the army which is inspir-
ing the men at the front to almost
superhuman efforts. The feeling has
become infectious in Manila. The idea
prevails among the troops that they
have entered on the final roundup of
the insurgents and they are straining
every nerve to make the movement sue
cessful. This is he'first time since the
outbreak of the insurrection that Otis
has been able to keep hammering ut
the rebels without letting up. Hereto
fore every American success has been
followed by a period of inactivity.
Now, however, the insurgents never
have minutes rest.
The line is rapidly tightening about
Aguinaldo. and unless he succeeds in
crossing the Oarabellos within two days,
| according to present appearances he
| will have to join the rapidly increasing
''amigo brigade" In order to avoid cap
ture. Generals Iawton and Wheaton
are approaching each other rapidly.
Young's advance guard left San Jose
with the intention of reaching Human
gan, about mile to the northwest.
Meantime Wheaton should be approach.
ing San Nicholas, which is due east of
San Fabian, where he landed, and
short distance north of Humanigan.
\ special from Washington SAYS: Re
ports received at the war department
from Manila indicate that Otis and Wat
son are preparing to send military and
naval expedition to Aparri. on the ex-
treme northern coast of Luzon. where
the great Rio Grande de Cayagen emp
ties into the China sea Otis has re-
ported that a number of insnrgent Off
cial dispatches We're captured by troops
under Young indicate that the Fiipinos
have decided to abandon the country in
the vicinity of Cabanatnan aud San
Jose, hurry over the mountains to Bay
ombong, and thence on to Aparri.
Other reports show that Aguinaldo is
not alone in his flight, but that he is ac-
companied by many followers and ex-
poets to be joined by the insurgents now
retreating before Young's advance.
MANILA, November l2-Colonel Bells
regiment and a small force of cavalry
entered Tarlac tonight without opposi.
tion. Where Aguinaldo. with his army
and the so-called government, has
fled is mystery. Colonel Bell found
that nothing was destroyed except some
railroad rolling stock, which had been
set ON fire.
When Colonel Bell left Capas, ten
miles from Tarlac, he intended to recon.
noiter. The scouts mounted, preceded
the main body up the railroad. They
met hundred rebels at Murcia. but the
insurgents quickly retreated. The
scouts found the depot burning, but ex.
tinguished the fire and saved the build,

A cable from Manila, dated Novem-
Der 8: Two hundred rebels from Tarlao
attacked Young's forces at Talavera at
daylight yesterday morning At tho
sound of bugle they made three dis
tinct charges, but We're easily repulsed
There We're no casualties on the Ameri.
can side. One wounded Filipino was
found within 80 yards of the American
lines The loss of the insurgents was
not reported. Colonel Hayes later pur-
sued the insurgents AS far as San Do
mingo There the rebels divided into
two columns, one of which went to San
Jose and the other to Victoria They
destroyed bridges on the San Jose road
and thus prevented pursuit. Derring-
tons scouts found u bloody cart, show.
ing that wounded Filipinos had been
carried away. The rebel movement to.
ward San Jose and Victoria possibly in
dicates general intention to scatter
before the American forces. Victoria
is northeast of Tarlac, while San Jose
is almost due south.
