do today ss on bis way to the town Of
Boambaug, about rs miles northeast of
Tarisc. The recent oalcul:tions have
been that the insurgent leader was al.
the town of Bayambaug. not far from
Tarlac. 10 which case the several forces
under Generals McArthur. Lawton
Young and Wheaton would have had
him practically surrounded. There has
been some doubt. however, as to the
name Bsysmbaug, aud today this was
cleared Up by definite information fixing
Bosmbaog. instead of Bsysubsug, as
the place Of Aguipaldo's refuge.
A dispatch from Gen. Otis mentioned
Boambsog. and at tho Same time
reliable Information came through
diplomatic channels that Lieut.. Gilmore
and the other American prisoners we're
at Bosmbaug 10 the. mountains far to
the northeast of Tarlac. =
1t is expected that the iosureeut
capital will now be shifted to Boam ban q ,
and the officers of the American military
forces will be directed toward that
point. 1t is in the mountainous country
OF the uorth aud apparently out of the
fertile and populous regions where
Aguiuald0 mas thus far conducted bis
operations. II is said to b. accessible
from the south by only one route along

Graude. This leaves the rebel leader
With little or no opportunity of CON.
municatiog With tho ooas, or getting 10
supplies. He also has left the railroad
behind.
II is said At the war department that
the columns of Gen. Yong and Gen.
Wheaton will nov push on to tho north,
following up the iusurgent leader aud
