AGuinaldo's Plan for an Attack on Manila
from the North and South ThwRrted.
WASHINGTON. June 17.-Reports received at
the War Department from Gen Otis indicate
that considerable more fighting is to be ex-
pected in the Philippines before the insur-
gents will accept American terms OF peace.
Aguinaldo is ruling his followers with an iron
hand. The rebels have shown a tenacity OF
purpose that has been surprising. and they
have persisted in fighting notwithstanding
severe losses and disastrous repulses.
1t is believed by War Department officials
that the insurgents had mapped out plan for
q simultaneous attack on Manila and on the
forces under Gen. Macarthur. near San
Fernando. The advance OF Gen. Lawton's
forces upon them south OF Manila was evil
IDENTITY unexpected. and he not only defeated
the insurgents with great loss, but broke up
their pro. ected attack. The night reported at
San Fernando yesterday is believed to have
been part of this plan OF AGuinaldo to break
tHhrough the A%sEican, lines between SAN
Esrn,HInd 40 ana Haumpt ana IA hdvanGe upon
Now that the insurgents have been defeated
at both ends Of the line It Is very probable that
Agunaldo will again withdraw toward Tarlac

Lawton and Macarthur are not expected to re-
main idle IT Is thought BY officers Of tho
army that Zen. OtlS VIII continue To advance
on the enemy and not allow them to recover
fully from their defeats Of the last few, days -
There Is no fear that Gen Macarthur will
not be fully able to defend his position against
the insurgents. as he has a whole division un-
der his command, ard will not only I've able to
repulss any attacks. but will probably send n
brigade OF troops to pursue the FipInos as far
north as possible.
