The object Of the recent movements chronicled
in the dispatches received from General Otis
to-day is not clear unless II is to occupy the
different cities and drive the insurgents away.
1t would seem that any hope Otis may have en-
tertained Of surrounding large body Of insur-
gents must have been abandoned. as ne reports
the insurgents to be scattered with only in
definite information to where they have
gone II il is true that some OF them have gone
into the western province Of Zambeles they can
yet be captured, as the complete occupation or
the country between Manila and Dagupan wouId
prevent their escape.
The second dispatch which reports the opera.
tions of General Lawton, indicates a belief
on the part Of General Otis that the insurgents
have been driven northwestward of the road 10
Bayombong. This town is far to the northeast
of the country in which Lawton Is operating.
and il seems to be the hope Of General Otis that
the Insurgents have been prevented from going
to the mountain capital although. according to
the maps in the War Department, no obstacles
seem to exist which would prevent them from
reaching Bayombong from the western country
1vhere II Is supposed they have been driven.
