In the Mail from Manila, which has

Luzon We're dispersed and who was sat-

he was probably still concealed in the

The other letter was from an army of.

voiced the opinion of all high military
authorities that Aguinaldo was GER

Tagal quarters in Manila. where he
would find greater safety than in the

which the American troops have thor
oughly overrun, and where there ar.
many natives who sympathize with
American rule.
General Otis has been Of the opinion
that Aguinaldo has not been out Of Ma
