Manila, November 1910 a. m.)-The
American occupation of the country be-
tween Manila and Dagupan is proceeding
with rush. General Macarthur is within
five miles of Dagupan, which place Gener-
ais Wheaton or Lawton will probably oc-
cupy. The railroad is practically intact
beyond Bamban, except for a distance of
five les north and the rails for that por-
tion have beer. discovered. Large quanti-
ties of rolling stock nae. however been
destroyed.
General Macarthur Is moving his troops
by train and the roads within General Law
toms territory are becoming passable. Cap
tain Leonhaeuser accomplished one Of the
best coups of the war. Reaching O'Don-
nell by night march from Capas on No
vember he surprised the insurgent force,
numbering 200 and captured all of them
with their arms, 10000 rounds of ammuni-
tion and four tons of subsistence. One Fill
ipino was killed, but there were no Ameri-
can casualties.
Manila, November 19.-Q a. m.)-The fol-
lowing dispatches have been received here
from correspondents of the Associated
Press accompanying the American advance
noIthward:
'(serona, November 1S.-General MacAr-
thur entered Corona, as already cabled,
this evening. The insurgents had fed last
Monday, after burning the depot. Nothing
else was destroyed by them. Corona is the
first town along the Manila-Dagupan rail-
way line where the natives did not run at
the approach of the Americans. The padres
offered quarters in the church and convent.
The town has one good house. Corona Is
the seat of heavy English sugar interests.
'FThe trip here was a hard one and occu-
pied six hours in covering seven miles and
a half most of the time having been spent
in fording a quarter of mile flood rum
ming out of the Rio Tarlac. We have no
wagons, and pack mules and native bearers
carry all our supplies.
"The natives here say that Bayombong
was occupied last Sunday by mounted
troops, probably General Young's brigade
of General Lawton's division. The people
here are of a better class than we have US
uany found and welcomed the Americans
as they evidently realize that their agricul-
tural interests will AYive."
General Macarthur said this evenings
we seem to be entering a different politi-
cal atmosphere. The people here seem to
be less attached to Aguinaldo's cause than
those in many towns we have entered on
the railroad line
{ "The command will move northward at
daybreak tomorrow toward Bayombong
Corona will be garrisoned with two compa-
MES of the Thirty-sixth Immediately on
entering Corona, Slaven's column moved
I'D the track toward Panique. On the way
they encountered an entrenched party OF
insurgents, whom they drove back when
entering the town and captured four loco
motives and thirteen cars, as already ca
bled. They learned that 500 insurgents had
left the town in the course of the after
noon."
Panique November 1S-General MacAr-
thurs troops arrived from Corona in the
course of the morning. The railroad be-
yond this point has not been destroyed. The
CAPTURED railway stock is being repaired to
handle supplies The expedition will go
