did not result III rs heavy II loss to the
American side us the battle of last Sat
urday and Sunday morning, it is be-
llcvcd to have been quite aS important
III results. CalOocan is OH the line of
railroad connecting Manila with Malo-
los. the inslrgrnt capital, and it may
be that this capture of the first named
town will make it possible to advance
rapidly by rail upon the insllrgcnt
headquarters il it shall be deemed ne
cessary to force the fighting and under
take the capture OF AguinaltlO. The
0fflclals here were encouraged to-day
by Gen. Otis quotation of the opinion
OF credible persons, FiiipinoS, it is un-
derstood, to the effect that Aguinaldo
no longer has the power to keep the
insurgents under his lead, ;ls this points
to All early submission of the inSllr-
gents to the American government.
None will be allowed to come to
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
Gen. Otis, and that when the nSllrrcc-
tion falls through he will make his
escape to the continent rather than re-
main in Lllzon
