Preparing War Map

Washington, March 25.-Major Simpson, chief of the bureau of military information, was busy during the day taking the frag- mentary movements here today of the bat talions and brigades, and so assembling them as to give on the military map com plete picture of todays theater of opera tions. As explained the field of todays action is as follows Back of Manila at distance of over seven miles from the water front sweeps a great semi-circle of Amer ican troops. This arc is about twenty miles, and embraces about H,000 men. It Is cut midway by the Pasig river, which forms a natural military division. To the south the arc Is under command of Major Gen eral Lawton, just arrived in the Philip pines. Until now this has been the field of activity with Wheaton'S flying column beating back the insurgents. But today Lawtons forces are idle and the scene of activity is shifted to the north of the river. Here a partial circle of American troops are Major General McArthur is in com- mand of all of the troops north of the river and these are roughly estimated at be- tween 13,OO0 and IA, 900. Before the action be- gan this morn 'ng McArthurs forces were divided into three main bodies Far to the right, near the water works, was Hale's brigads. Far to the left. about Caloocan, was the brigade of H. G. Otis and of Wheaton, the latter having been drawn from Lawton's forces on the south in or der to strengthen McArthur's command for this operation.
