False Statements of Eesnlt of Battles togSncourage the Despondent Filipinos. Manila Feb. 13. Aguinaldo is doing everything fin his power to give heart : to has disorganized and dispirited sol- ; diers. During: the past week he has been personally visiting- his troops,' seeking ito encourage them by magni fying the American dosses and minimiz ing those of the Fiilipiiuos. He de clares he merely withdrew his army so as to lead the Americans into ambus cade. Many of his followers, however, in view of the week's events, are du bious about the practicabil5ity of wiping- out the American army. Aguinaldo is taking extraordinary precaution to prevent being captured. He has turned the com and of his army over to General Luna, and will himself keep out of - reach of the Americana. Luna is author of nealy all the bellicose articles 'which, (have appeared in the in surgent papers. ? - Rebel headquarters have been eatab- ; ltehed at Polo. ;,!The -truth concerniiig the serious de feat the rebels sustained Is just com mencing to' be' whispered - in Malolos and other Filipino towns.
