Filipino Soldiers Weakening,


General Otis says the American army
and gunboats now command the lake.
He estimated that property Of insur-
gents valued at $5O0, 200 has been de-
stroyed, while quantities of rice and
sugar and 400 tons of coal, which ia
very valuable here, has been captured.
Many prisoners represent that the Fill
pino soldiers are weakening. In the
opinion of Americans, however, the
Filipino leaders will continue to pro-
woke fighting just as long as they can
xe.a .ain their hold on their followers, be-
cause they have everything to gain and
nothing to lose.
ihe armed tugs La Guna de Bay and
Ocsie have returned to San Pedro Ma
cati and reported the results of their
tour of the lake. On Friday morning
last they shelled the town Of Moreng,
the rebels fleeing without making any
response to the fire. The expedition
then proceeded to Majayjay, where a
sugar mill and saw mill were destroyed.
Gu arriving at Santa Cruz it was found
that the enemy was strongly en-
trenched. A few shells caused an exc
dus of the citizens, but not of the
enemy's troops. The Americans did
not attempt landing.
