Manila, Jan. 10. 1000 m.-Reports from
the movements of the American COM
manders south of Manila show that
Generals Bates and Wheaton are at Perez
das Marinas. and General Schwan at Sa-
ling, all waiting the arrival of provision
wagons. Reconnaissance have shown
that 1000 armed insurgents nave retired
to the mountains from the district be-

Eleventh cavalry drove a body of in
surgents from Maig. One American was
killed and two We're wounded. Thirteen
