DclPilar's Forces Escape.

Manila, June 6.-The insurgents in
the Morong peninsula whom General
Lawton had hoped to bag there have
got away. The gunboat NaDidan with
General Lawton on board steamed
around the peninsula from Morong to
Angono yesterday. The Napidan kept
close in shore looking for insurgents,
but none was visible. At Blangonan
white flags were flying and the natives
gave the Americans hearty welcome.
They stated that the insurgent forces
left on Sunday night in northeasterly
direction drawing their heavy cannon
over the mountains. General Pillar, in
command of the insurgent troops about
Laguna de Bay, is reported east of the
mountains and proceeding northward.
The escape Of the insurgents is large
ly due to their excellent secret service.
The movements of the American troops
were ascertained and heralded 10 the
insurgents by signal fires at night and
columns of smoke by day from the
mountain tops. The other big factor in
the defeat of General Lawton's plan
was the natural obstacles of a trailless
mountain country. Supply trains had
TO be abandoned and thus it was i'm.
possible to get behind the enemy who
could retreat rapidly, unhampered by
burdens of supplies which they get as
they go along. The campaign has been
severe test of American endurance
Our troops this morning had beer as
hours without food and are exhausted.
Supplies could be brought Dy water to
MoroDg, but an impossible country
made it impossible 10 forward these to
the front inland.
Manila, June G.-rhe insurgents made Ian
attack on the friendly town OF Macabebe yes
terdsy and, after driving cut the inhabitants,
burned the town.

TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE G. 1899
ONE OF the Washington newspaper


ONE OF the Washington newspapers
that said never word against the ex-
h;bition OF lewd dancing women in
public building on Pennsylvania avenue
in that city recently, is so fearful OF the
injury to the morals of the young men
of the national capital from the pro
piouity of Alexandria county, that it
saws: "The influence of the gambling
bells on the Virginia side OF the river
upon the young men of this communi-
~ is deplorsbly bad. The convenience
OF access, the practical immunity from
arrest, the variety OF modes of breaking
the law, all allure the morally weak"
For seeing iniquity in Alexandria coun-
ty and for inability to see it in their
own city, the newspapers OF Washing
ton are peculiar.

IF WHITE men in Illinois cannot he

it is not surprising that the white boys

ing done so. 1t is such things as these
