report brought by Spanish prisoners
is that Aguinaldo and others were
nearly surrounded by Americans soon
after the insurgent chief left Tariac,
but ne escaped through the lines in
peasants clothes
Officers and soldiers arriving at Ca
banatuan from Gen Lawton's force,
describe the campaign as one of great
hardship Many men dropped, sick,
and were left at various towns with
out adequate supplies and attendance,
some of them making their way back
across the terrible roads A number
of horses were dying and many of the
soldiers and even some of the officers,
were marching on, half naked, their
clothes having been torn to pieces in
getting through the jungles' Some
of them were reduced almost to

barefooted, their shoes being worn
