General Hughes Plan Of Sweep
ing ReprisaIs in the Philip
pines.

VICTORIA. Dec. 19-'.The Manila
Times. referring to the plan of cam
oaign In Samar, says:
"The Cavite marines to the number
of $50 are stationed at Balaguipga.
These marines, in conjunction with the
soldiers of the 11th Infantry, will op-
crate frum the south, occurring and
burning the country northward until
they meet and join hands with the 26th,
the 18th, the 7th and the 9th regiments.
This is the first part in the plan of cam
oaign. When the southern part of the
island is thoroughly cleaned up, opera
ions will then begin from Luzon down
TO the southern line of troors, thus
rounding up Lukb bans army for final
determination. Samar Island will be
nads desert where birds cannot live.
There Is bare possibility that awed
~ the terrible punishmept about to be
inflicted, Lukban and his followers will
iecide to throw themselves on the
nrrcy of the Americans, trusting TO
sny terms which may be given them.
Lukban's friends have become 60 ter

Hughes to postpone his measure of re-
sallation until the rebel chief can be
advised of the STATION and be given q
:hance TO present himself to the Amer
ican forces. These supplicants have
eceived but slight encouragement from
General Hughes. but they will be al
lowed to communicate with Lukban.

accorded prisoners of war, and the pres

avoided.
''The gunboats which have been pa
trolling the coasts of Samar have not
been idle. Besides the work of captur-
iug Bancas and escaping insurgents,
they are also engaged in burning the
coast towns and forcing the insurgents
into the interior. The pueblas on the
shores of Leyte have also been dew

at Parasan, which has been supplying
the insurgents with powder and pro-
iectiles, has been captured"
