Manila, Oct. 31.-Maj. Balances bat
talon of the Twenty-second infantry
entered Cabanatuan Monday, meeting
with no resistance. The natives well
coined the Americans, shouting viva
los Americanos." The insurgent troops
had fled to the mountains. Gen. Bates

quarters at. Jolo, until Fam boanga is

banatuan; will occupy Talavera and prob
ably Alaga to-day, objective San Jose

cult
Manila, Nov. ALI signs show that
Gen. Young's rapid advance is democrat
izing the insurgents northward. Pris-
oners report them to be fleeing to the
hills. There are many deserters and
sick men, and the former are taking
their arms to the Americans. The cav
alry's rapid movements are a puzzle to-
the insurgents, who think that the
Americans, in striking so many places,
must have overwhelming forces.

A New York woman has gone into re-
form in novel way. She thinks the
way pies are now made is disgrace to
civilization and she proposes to give
Americans real pie-thc kind your
mother used to make. The intention is
all right, but the fact is, when a man
gets old enough to talk about the pies
his mother used to make he has lost
the appetite he had in his youth, and
that was what made the old-fashioned
pies taste so good. Pies will never taste
to him as they tasted when he came
from school and drifted into the kitch-
