Manila. January 10-10:50 p. m.-Reports
from the movements of the American COM
manders south of Manila show that Gen.
eral Bates and General Wheaton are at
Perez das Marinas, and General Schwan at
SLANG, all awaiting the arrival of provis-
ion wagons. "Reminiscences have shown
that 1000 armed insurgents have retired To
the mountains from the district between
Indang and Maig, and that others have
retreated along the coast from Novelita to-
ward Batangas.
Last night Nolan's squadron of the Elev-
enth cavalry drove a body of insurgents
from Maig. One American was killed and
two wounded. Thirteen dead Filipinos
were found.
The movement largely resembles Gener-
al schwan's experience in the same coun-
try. except that the towns are now being
garrisoned and that the insurgents refuse
to fight retreating southwark and divid-
ing into small bands with the apparent in
tention of reassembing later. The plan of
catching large number between two bril-
gades has failed. About a hundred insur-
gents have been killed, but comparatively
few arms have been taken.
The region is full of Amigos, who doubt,
less have been bearing arms which they
have hidden. The women and children

as they fall back, release all prisoners they
have captured.
1t is asserted on high authority that
Archbishop Nozaleda contends in his inter
Cbar nal
delegate on behalf of the Roman Catholic
church and the brotherhoods that the titles
to all property held by the church and the
brotherhoods in the Philippines should be
recognized that the existing religious or
ders should continue to administer the par
ishes; that other parishes should be es-
tabl.shed under the same control, and that
the parochial control of cemeteries should
continue.
Church Affairs
He also lays stress, in his contentious,
upon the Importance of allowing the
church to administer its own affairs with
out state interference; upon the necessity
of a regime that will guarantee the liberty
OF the church; upon the desirab:lity of Eu-
ropean clergy, the establishment of new
college for the instruction of native priests
and the continuation of indirect contribu-
tons for the maintenance of churches and
clergy and upon the expediency of main
teining the system of parochial fees, in
Guiding revenues from births, marriages,
funerals, dispensations and apostolic in
duigences.
In addition Archbishop Nozaleda advises
the continuation of the churchs control of
pawnshops and certain designated hospi-
tails and schools, together with the estab-
lishment OF a special form of parochial
administration exacted by the actual
ditions in the Islands. Finally, he makes
plea for the continuation of the present
missionary work of the church.
