THEIR USUAL TACTICS.

Insurgsnts Refuse to Fight, Divldtug
Into small bands and Retreating.'Q n
MANILA, JAM. II. - Reports from
American commanders south Of Ma
Mia show that General Bates and
General Wheaton are at Perez das Ma
rinas and General Schwan at Slang,
all awaiting the arrival of provision
wagons. Reconnaissance have shown
that 1000 armed insurgents have re-
tired into the mountains from the dis
trict between lndange' and Imig and
that others have retreated along the
coast from Noveltate toward Barangas.
Nolen's squadron of the Eleventh
cavalry drove a body of insurgents
from Magru. One American was killed
and two wounded. Thirteen dead Fill
pinos were found. The movement
largely resembles General Schwan's
experience in the same country, except
that the towns are now being gar
risoned and that the insurgents refuse
to fight, retreating southwark and
dividing into small bands with the ap-
parent intention of reassembl bling later.
The plan Of catching i large snuanbet
between two brrfgades has failed. Abont
100 insurgents have been killed, but
comparatively few arms have been
taken.

Mr.. BRYAN'S VIEWS,

Ks1torates His Previous Attitude ON the
Issues Of the Day.
Mr.. Bryan's speech at the Exposition
building covered the present political
situation thoroughly. Trusts, impe-
rialism and the money question, he
declared, were the most prominent is
sues before the people. In summing
up his views he said:
"There are new questions and the
Republican party is wrong on the new
questions as it was on the old. This is
not strange. The mind Of man is con-
sistent. cannot be surprised that a
party which would take the monopo-
lists side Of tho trust question and
allow the American people to be
crushed and maltrested as they are
should prove to be neglectful Of the
rights # people who live in foreign
countries and who are not even Of their
color.
"A political party, ~ we'll a. man,
must do its duty. It isn't possible to
figure out what is popular and then do
that. The party must stand for just
principles, whether they prove popular
for the time being or not. While !
