Manila. Nov. II. $40 a. m.--The where
abouts Of Asuinado and his army and
cabinet is A perfect enigma General Otis
has learned that Agunaldo recently is
sued a proclamation transferring the cap
itol to BunRabons, giving as a reason for
the step the unsanitary condition of Tar
lac. II is supposed that the leaders of
the insurrection who are not already at
BongabonS are retreating to that place.
though when they left Tarlac, whether
they are travelling with the army how
many soldiers they were able to hOjU to-
gether and whether the leaders or the
line, are an unknown.
1t is hoped however, that General
Wheaton has effected q junction with
Generrt Young forming a Gordon from
san Fabian to San lsidro. General Law
ton has 5000 men, General Wheaton 200
a small force to control so many miles,
but it commands the main roads by
which the insurgents must move to the
northwest. With the Americans advanc-
ing at the present rate they could drive
the insurgents from Bongabong in fort
night and it is Impossible for the rebels to
establish another capital in Luzon which
cannot be captured within IA month.
The rapid approach Of the Americans
was a complete surprise to the insur-
gents as the latter expected them to
move slowly as they did from Manila to
Angeles. The 'iipinos thought it i'm
possible for The Americans to make head
way IN the mud which prevailed every
where, and tho sudden invasion astounds
the natives along the line of General
Youngs march, who had been told that
The Americans were confined to the
suburbs of Manila. A majOrty Of the
natives welcome the army enthusias teal
w. bet some who have been deluded by
stories Of American cruelties hide in the
SWalnls. Women who are unable to flee
fall upon their knees, upholding cruci-
fixes and begging TO be spared. When the
news spreads that the Americans intend
to remain and establish order, the popu-
la ton flock to their homes, bringing with
them their cattle and household goods.
| The insurgents have drained the re-
sources of the province. The army has
impre ssed a large share of the crops and
1 the people are miserably poor. Every
where are elaborate trenches, built by the
non combatants, working day and night.
The Americans found big stores of rice
; at Tarac. Tubig and elsewhere and sew
| eral thousand Filipino uniforms were
| captured at Tubig. Thirty insurgents
| surrendered to General Macarthur, re-
| ceiving $50 each for their guns.
+, Major Marsh's battalion of the Thirty
! third regiment, which includes many old
rough riders from the southwest at
tackled 400 Filipinos three miles from San
! Fabian on the Dagupan road, on Friday.
! The F'ilipinOS had been firing at the out
! posts. Major Marsh found them en-
trenched across the river Their trenches
had been made after General Wheatons
arrival. Major Marsh charged them, a
portion of his battalion fording the
stream and part crossing by the bridge.
. When the Americans approached the Fill
ipinos, afraid to show their heads, poked
their rifles above the trench and fired
blindly. Major Marsh's force pursued
them for a mile Fourteen dead Filipinos
We're left behind including the lieutenant
colonel commanding on the field. Two
Americans were wounded.
The insurgents have resumed their ac-
tiyity in the Cavite province. Yesterday
they attacked Calamba, in the usual
fashion A nightly fuslade between the
marines and the hundred insurgents who
have again intrenched themselves on the
isthmus between Cavite and Noveleta is
plainly heard in Manila. On Saturday
the Filipinos attempted to entrap the
/ marines by landing force from canoes
| behind them. The searchlights of the
Petrol discovered the preparations to
/ embark and a few shots from the Monad-
/, mock and Petrel's guns spoiled the game.
