GENERAL BELLS OPERATIONS.
INSURGENTS EFFECTIVELY CLEANED OUT
OF TWO LUzoN PROVINCES

Manila. Feb 16-General J. Franklin Bell has
practically cleaned up the insurrection in Batan-
gas Province, the troops under his command
having made a clean sweep OF the district. 1t
is not believed that all the insurgent arms have
been captured surrendered but that num-
ber of them have been taken by the insurgents
to other provinces safely hidden. The in
crease of robber bands in the provinces Of
Tayab bas and Cavite shows the effects Of the
drastic measures adopted in Batangas and
Laguna provinces. General Bell says the people
of these latter provinces never realized the ter
rors Of war until they personally experienced
It's hardships. owing to the closing of the ports
and the concentration of the natives in the
towns General Bell believes that the insurgent
