MANILA, Aug. lO.-7:10 p. m.-De'
tails of General MacArthur's advance
beyond San Fernando showed that the
Americans covered five miles in the
first five hours and at o'clock had ad-
vanced six miles along the railway,
stretching on each side Of it for two
miles and resting at night three miles
from Angeles, which will be made the
northern base Of operations instead Of
San Fernando, where garrison Of GOO
men has been left. The casualties arc
between 80 and 40. The Filipinos were
surprised, expecting the American
forces to move against Tico. They fol.
lowed their usual tactics Of holding
their trenches until they became too
warm and then retreating in disorder.
They are now falling back westward
toward Porto.
The Twelfth and Seventeenth regi-
ments had the sharpest engagements.
The country our troops passed over is
covered with rice fields and bamboo
thickets, the hardest possible ground
for marching. The mud in places was
knee deep.
Angeles is ono Of tho richest towns
north of Manila and is considered to be
better base Of operations than San
Fernando. The forces at San Fernando
consisted OF the Iowa regiment, the
Seventeenth regiment, the Ninth regi-
meQt, the Twelfth regiment. Polls new

Editor Virginian-P Pilot:
About the first of May the Judge of

of conducting Il liquor saloon at the in
tersection of Ivy and G streets. This
party has never been a resident of our
town, but il as present an enlisted man

foreign country. The citizens circulated
a petition to the Judge requesting a
rcvokal of the license, giving as their
reasons the underhand manner in which
he secured the license, the section being
purely Il residential one and the danger
which would be incurred by having Il
business of that character conducted
where the police protection would be
insufficient to cope with the situa ton.
which petition was signed not by SIM
ply Il majority, but by over 90 per cent,
only four or five being found who de-
clined to affiX their signature; yet, in
face of this overwhelming majority of
opposition. the Judge declined to re-
open the case. but allowed the voice of
one man. Il nonresident. to outweigh
the voice of the entire community with
the exception of the four or five men
toned. He made application to the
Town Council for permission to erect a
building at the place and for the pur-
pose named. but after weighing the
matter well and considering the dan
ger which would be incurred. this body
wisely refused to grant the permission
Yet in defiance of the town ordinance
