t5 Washington, NOV, 10.-Interest Is felt
IN the War Department. over Agul-
naldo's sudden change OF base north;
eastward from Tarlac tic. i Bay ombong,
about rs miles distant, There are
but the form given In, the one most
generally adhered to on the maps In
possession ofsethe War SsDepartment.
The most interesting feature of the.
new situation is that 3SAg uinaldo has
been forced out of the 5Tagalo country
into region to the north where Tagalol
Is not spoken and where the noun
tains are filled With Negritos and other
savage tribes who are hostile to the
Tagalos. n
To the southwest OF Carabello noun
tain there is q narrow break in Nthe
mountain range and within a few miles
around the base OF Carabello mountain
on Its northern slope one strikes the
.headwaters of the great Cagayan7 river
China sea. 1t Is on the headwaters of
the Magat that Aguinaldo Is now ioca-
ted. The way Is open for him down
the long stretch of river to ApnrrI at
the mouth of the Cagayan where 1t
flows into the sea. This is one Of the
widest but richest valleys In the is
land. It is believed that the river Gag
ayan is navigable for our tin-clad gun
boats 150 miles from its mouth and for
cascoes much further. It Is expected as
soon as Aguinaldo shows any DISPOSE
ton to move down the valley toward
the China sea that the warships and
gunboats Will be sent round the NORTH
ern end Of the island to meet him and
shut Off his escape.
If 1t is his intention to escape from
Luzon he would naturally seek Aparrl
or some northern port. but the country
around Carabello mountain is such that
he could probably stand off the whole
American force In q game of hide and
seek In the hills for the greater part OF
the coming season.
Secretary Root feels no concern over
the move of Aguinaldo to q new base
OF operations at Bayombong. The Sec
rotary said to-day that the move was
distinctly retrograde. It was in the ma,
ture of retreat after finding that his
former base was untenable. Through
out the War Department the view pre-
walls that Aguinaldo's move does rot
materially change the campaign plans
and that these will be pushed with
undated vigor.
