department, but the Associated Press
announcement occastoned no surprise,
for the move is looked upon as one Of
the natural steps in General Otis care
fully laid plans against the insurgents.
Santa Cruz is a place of considera-
BILE Importance in several respects. IL
is the capital of the province of La
guna and has a population, according
to the best available information here,
of considerably more than $4,000 per-
sons. 1t is regarded as likely that Gen.
Lawton already has gained possession
Of this little stronghold, for it is but
a short journey over the bay lagoon,
a fresh water sea which comes almost
up to Manila itself.
1t is felt here that there will be only
a show Of resistance by the natives,
and whether they actually surrender
the town or abandon it to the south
ward the campaign against the place
will serve as an object lesson Of the
determined policy of our forces in the
islands. Santa Cruz Is apparently an
opening wedge for the country beyond.
From it lead highways in all direc-
lions to Manila, by going around the
shores of Bay Lagoon, and to the i'm
portant point of Batangas and the well
advanced province of Tayabas, whose
capital city is located 81 miles from
Manila
Gen. Lawton, however, may not con-
template any material advance beyond
Santa Cruz at this time, as the region
to the south is O very broken country
covered with mountains, and the rainy
season is coming on, so that the pur-
pose may be merely to gain an advan-
tageous position for the future.
