THE INSURGENTS
WERE DRIVEN
Out of Morong Into the Noun
talns.--They Leave Twenty
five Dead on the Field.
THE CONCLUSIONS DRAWN
BY the War Department Con.
cerning the Present Condi.
ton in Philippines.

ton in the Philippines is described by
General Otis in the following cable
gram:
MANILA. June 5.
Adjutant General, Washington:
The result Of tho movements in Mo-
rong province was to drive the insur-
gents into the mountains, capturing An
tlpoll and other towns in that section
with the point of land projecting into
the bay. They retreated and scattered
before our advance, leaving twenty-five
dead on the field: our loss. four killed
and few wounded. mostly slight.
The city of Morong, on the only land
route around the bay, Is sarrlsoned. All
other troops are withdrawn. The In
habltants of the provinces profess
friendship and ask protection. A large
number wish to enter Manila, but We're.
refused, as the city population is In
creasing too rapidly. Leading natives
throughout the Island, including active
insursent leaders, seek permission to
send their families to Manila, 1t being
considered the only safe place Of per-
sonal security. OTIS.
The conclusions drawn by war de-
partment officials concerning the con-
dillon in the Philippines given In the
dispatch Of General Otis are that the
insurgents are little more than marau-
ding bands which will continually de-
crease when the men find that there is
life and liberty under American govern
ment. These bands are regarded as
something like the bands OF Indians
twenty-five or thirty years ago, and
the people who are coming into the
American lines asking protection are
considered like those who sought pro-
lection. in the forts during the early
stages of American development in the
west. Nothing is yet said as to the In
tention of General Otis to continue ac-
tive hostilities. but thi: Is n matter
that will be left to HIS discretion and
he will no doubt fgh: or rest as the cir
cumstances determine.
