MY DTsT1SorisHED FRIENDS AMI DEAR
FELLOW CITIZENS: write TO you from this
ballo. running north and south.
I am forced 10 pass TO the capital town Of
| Nueva Viscaya. where the permanent seat OF
our Government has been established. as the
position is an impregnable one
| ] suppose that by the previous letter OF senior
/ Mabini. the copies Of which have just read,
YOU are aware that we were obliged to abandon
Maloios. which The enemy TOOK on Good t1io
lsidro, which was taken on the. 10th OF this
month. or ten DAYS after this Cabinet was es-
tablished. so that II can be said that We
have been born only to move from one town 10
another. Up to the present date We have only
| spent n short time II life IN repose, due TO a
| little change Of luck In our arms and other
causes (which we refer to below which induced
the enemy NOT only to suspend their advance,
but also to retire.
Taking advantage Of this good opportunity
and the occasion to enclose the attached orlcinl
documents. j write yoi a brief note describing
our actual situation. A. President Of the
republic continues our Honorable Senior Emilio
AGuinnldo, a model Of civic privations and
virtues. an ample Of hrmness and unbneaka-
able resolution: Notwithstanding all the ia
tieie. privationS and suffering. he IS a mirror
- As Cantn!n-Ge or eral. hr directs the opera
tions and often he has exposed himself 10 tho
fire Of the enemy, unhceding our supplicatlons
Niv opinion. therefore. is that in himself
ne is an extraordinary man with all the signs
OF one on 2 Providential mission 10 carry out
the very difficult enterprise, not only OF our
independence, but also or our moral regenera-
ton lit is sad to have to say II since we are
PIiem Cen. Sehor Mariana Trios has been
appointed Secretary Of War but as this gen
Francisco de Malabon Wavit@l. whore we had
10 send him AZ the commencement oil the rup-
Of the Government Of the republic. the post
ton was taken Professionally to-day by Gen.
| Senior AmbrOSiO Flores, OF the general stan,
while Gen. Luna, appointed sub-seCretary,
directs rs chief the oDerations on the railway.
Before the outbreak Of hostilities our army
occupied the %following places. In the Province
of Bicolanas, a body of about 600 men under
the command of General Of Division Senior
Vito Belarnino. who resides in Albay, that
being the capital of that region; happily the
war as vet has not reached this part.
In the provinces Of Tayabas and BatanRas
We have about 1000 men commanded by Brig
| Gen. Senior Malhar, who. unfortunately, Is not
in harmony with the civil officers and people
Whereabouts.
Our policy is the foundation Of our indie
pendence al all costs, but we will alter our
proceedings in order to distract the enemy's
attention.
senior Mahlnl's proceedings were 50 frank
and straightforward that the Americans had
no need Of much work to foresee the war, while
Senior Mabini did not believe In the falseness
Of The Americans until the very day OF the out
break Of hostillties,
we are aware that war Is the most powerful
| means of gaining our ideal. but we also know
that we are struggling with n great scarcity

| diplomacy, both arms being consistent,
Our hopes are placed on YOU. II you send
erpeditions for us, or n Won gain any real and
| effective protection. we shall have advanced
| considerably.
we have n great deal of work TO accomplish
In tho interior because this new war has de-
