SIXTY-NINE SPANISH PRISONERS
FOUND IN THE ABANDONED
TOWN AGUINALDO'S SECRE
TARY CAPTURED ALONG WITH
MUCH VALUABLE PROPERTY.
Manila, Nov. 13.-JThe surrender of
Tarlao practically means an end to the
effective operation of the socalled Fil
ipino government. Hereafter the in
surgent government will be a vest
roes will be scattered with gangs of
pocket, pillar to post affair, whose he
bamdits. Aguin&ido hopes undoubtedly
to re-establish some form of govern
ment at Bayombong-, but arth'ough he
may avoid capture for months by
skillfully seeking some rabbit warren,
he will never again have time to or
ganize anywhere nor be long enough in
one place, to set the wheels of govern
ment going.
DRIVEN LIKE SHEEP.
This statement is based on a careful
review of the siuation by one who is
on the spot. Fighting will probably
continue on a small scale for some
time. This week's operations have
been a succession of rapid advances,
before which the insurgents were
driven like sheep. Tarlac, which was
captured yesterday, has1 been occupied
'ByMdcArthur's ctoiumiu AguipaJdA
secretary (has bSen oaijrtmred at ' C-'P
ranglan together with a large amount
of insurgent property.
iFLEEING TO THE MOUNTAINS.
Late Sunday afternoon the Third
cavalry, under Colonel Wessels, occu
pied the important town of Tayug, ttye
insurgent garrison having fled, terror
stricken to the mountains. ' 1
Sixty-nine Spanish prisoners were
found in the centre of the town and
heralded the approach of the Americans.-
A large quantity of supplies and
ammunition was captured also two Fil
ipino officers. The Filipinos took with
them in their flight four American
prisoners, and a troop of cavalry weat
in pursuit and came up with the fugi
tives at Fatnicalos. The cavalrymen
released two of the American prisoners
and killed an insurgent officer and two
privates.
EXPECTED TARLAC S FALL.
It appears now that Agjiinaldo ha I
been anticipating the loss qf Tarlac for
some time. October 5 he issued a de
cree declaring Bayombong wouTd be th3
new capital "owing to the" unhealthy
condition of Tarlac."
A report received late tonight says
that Wheaton has not yet made con
nection with Lawton's forces.
A SHARP BATTL.
March's-battalion of the Thirty-third
infantry met a force of rebels a short
distance east of Dagupan today and
roiited them. The insurgents left four
teen dead on the field and lost thirty-,
one prisoners.
Coiloinel Bell of the Thirty-sixth In
fantry reeonnoitered beyond Tarlac to
day. He wept eight miles without
meeting any opposition, tis thinks the
insurgents have probably removed most
of their property to Bayombong.
WHERE? IS AGUINALDO?
Aguinaldo's present location is alto
gether a miatter of speculation. Ot's
thinks ihe has fled to the mountains in
the north. The failure of Wheaton an'f
Lawtomi to connect and prevent Aguin
aldo from getting to the mountains is
the only unsatisfactory aspect of the
situation. .
