FiIipinOs Are Scattered.

Washington, Dec l3-The war depart
ment has received the following from
General Otis:
Manila, Dec. l3.--In Bulacan province
the Insurgents had been scattered and
driven east to the mountains. Our casual
ties in that section in the last few DAYS
were 10. The insurgents casualties, IN
killed, wounded and prisoners, aggregated
100. Considerable insurgent properly
with arms and ammunition, were cap
tured. Our troops now in the mountain;
are in pursuit of the insurgents.
There is no concentrated insurgent force
of any Importance in Luzon north OF Ma
Mia.
Two thousand additional Spanish pris
oners were secured in northern Luzon
making over 5000 released within tn,
month. Seven hundred are now en- route
from Vigan and transports will be SEN
for the remainder.

AMERICAN PRISONERS FATE
THEY ARE HELD AS HOSTAGES
None Have Been Allowed to Escape
otis Has Sent Aguinaldo warning
lie VIII he Held Personally re
spOnsible.

New York, Dec ia special from
Washington says: d.
Considerable concern has been felt III ol
.Bcial circles for some time respecting the
fate of the American prisoners stu heid
by the Filipino insurgents. ms Is due
to an intimation made by Agulnaldo III
note to General Otis, delivered a month
ago, that grave injury might be'al the
prisoners if recognition of the so-eaIIed
Filipino republic by the United states
were longer delayed.
It was in answer to this threat that the
president sent message to General Gus
for Transmission to Aguinaldo announcing
that if the prisoners were maltreated III
any manner he and his subordinates
would be held personally responsible. At
that time Aguinaldo was believed to be
within the Gordon established by the
American troops reaching from San Fabian
to Isidro.
Considerable concern has been caused
by the fact that although great many
Spanish prisoners have been allowed to
escape, not single American has come
through the lines.
