Law ton, He C haracterizes the Fili pinos as a Band of Cut-throats, Also. Says Insurgents' Am- munition Is Nearly Exhausted. Rebels Who Defended Seaports Swore by the Crucifix Not to Leave the lield Alive Mnaila, Thursday Eveningr, June 15. The" demoralization of the Filipinos since their defeat at Seapote fs wide spread. This morning, tthe mayor of Imus arrived at Bakoor and Formally surrendered. He was sent to General Lawton at Las Pinas. He told Gener al Lawton that the inhabitants of Imus were glad the Americans had come. He characterized Aguinaldo's army as cut-throats. He said the Fil ipinos passed through Imus Tuesday night in a demoralized condition, carry ing a hundred dead and three hundred wounded. Thirteen Filipinto dead were buried In Imus yesterday. After the removal of the powder mill, the insurgents, 2,000 strong, retreated to Buena Vista and Das Marinas. In their hurry their overlooked fourteen Spanish prisoners who canie to Bakoor this mtorningr The mayor adds that the rebels' supply of ammunition was reduced to a minimum. This state--mernt is (Surprising in as much as, al though their fire was terrific at Sea pote, the belts and cartridge boxes of the dead were found half filled with ammunition. Apparently the backbone of the in surrection in Cavite province is broken. This morning the noads were reported clear to Cavite. The campaign in ef fectiveness exceeded General Lawton's anticpiations. A priest informed General Lawton that four thousand Filipinos defended Seapote, all of whom swore by ithe crucifix that they woul dnot leave the field alive. The insurgents made the pluckiest stand since the war be gan at Seapote. They were protected by fortifications while the Americans were unprotected. It was impossible to use the artillery on account of the short range, and the mountain guns were fired at a distance of twenty-five yards. The Krag-JVrgenrl ns shattered the rebels' head9 like shells. The official report shows that 121 rebels were buried where they fell in the hardest fight. The Fourth and Thirteenth infantry and the First Wy oming infantry have been sent to Las Pinas. A bridge has been built to Paranaque and -preparations are mak ing to nold tfte towns. The people of the country "occupied by the Americans are swarming back to the towns. Ba koor and Las Pinas are full of men working in the fields, apparently re suming business after five months' pil lage by the Filipinos. IMUS GARRISONED. Manila, Thursday Evening, June 15.
