Conditions as follows: In Buacan Province

where he Joined yesterday by Kobbe's col

day Macarthur still at San Fernando. and will
occupy cities south and westward; insurgent
forces disntegrating daily Luna's force at
Tarac much diminished; has destroyed several
miles railway in his front; number of officers Of
rank have deserted Luna, and few have en-
tered Manila for protection. In Pampanga and
Bulacan inhabitants returning 70 homes only

the present movement IL generally believed to

Iawton are now Joined. This point has previ

Bacalor. on the railroad there is a highway
running northeast through San Fernando
Mexico and Santa Ana and on to Arayat on the
river General Otiss dispatch says that the
American army will occupy the cities south and
west There Is no present talk Of another
northern movement This would leave a tri-
angle between the railroad and the river that
could be easily held ard protected by the United
States troops in the wet season. even though
the insurgents were in much greater force than
they are reported, and though they in
