MANILA, Jan. 10. 1850 p. m.-Re-
ports from the movements OF the
American commanders south of Ma
Mia show that General Bates and
General Wheaton are at Perez das
Marinas and General schwan at Slang,
all awaiting the arrival of provision
wagons. Reconnaissance have shown
that 1000 armed Insurgents have retir-
ed to the mountains from the district
between Indang and Maig, and that
others have retreated along the coast
from Noveleta toward Batangas.
Last night Nolan's squadron Of the
Eleventh cavalry, drove a body Of in
surgents from Malg. One American
was killed and two were wounded.
Thirteen dead Fillpinos were found.
The movement largely resembles
General schwan's experience in the
same country, except that the towns
are now being garrisoned and that the
insurgents refuse to fight, retreating
southward and dividing into small
bands. with the apparent intention OF
reassemblIng later. The plan Of CATCH
ing large number between two brig
ades has failed. About hundred In
surgents have been killed. but compar-
atively few arms have been taken.
The region Is full of Amigos, who
doubtless have been bearing arms
which they have hidden. The women
and children remain in their homes and
the insurgents as they fall back release
all prisoners they-have captured.
It Is asserted on high authority that
Archbishop Nozaleda contends in his
Interviews with MonsIgnor chapelle,
the papal delegate, on behalf of the
Roman church and the brotherhoods
that titles to all property held by the
church and the brotherhoods In the
Philippines should be recognized; that
the Roman catechism should be taught
in the primary schools; that the ex-
lsting religious orders should continue
to administer the parishes; that other
parishes should be established under
the same control. and that the paro-
chIal control OF cemeteries should con-
tlnue.
He also lays stress. In his conten-
tIons, upon the Importance of allowing
the church to administer its own af-
fairs without state interference, upon
the necessity of a regime that Will
guarantee the liberty Of the church,
upon the desirabIllty OF European
clergy, the establishment OF a new
college for the instruction Of native
priests and the continuation of Indirect
contributions for the maintenance Of
church and clergymen. and upon the
expedlency of maintaining the system
Of parochiaI fees, including revenues
from births, marriages, funerals, dis
pensatlons and apostolic induigences.
In addition, Archbishop Nozaledh ad-
yises the continuation of the church's
control OF pawn shops and certain des-
ignated hospitals and schools, together
with the establishment OF special
form Of parochlal administration ex-
acted by the actual conditions in the
Philippines.
Finally he makes plea for the con-
tlnuation of the present missionary
work Of the church.
The inhabitants Of the Islands Of
Leyte and samar are suffering from
lack Of food, resulting from the long
