Manila, November 27.-11:30 a. m. The insurgents have evacuated Man galaren, province of Pangasinan, leav ing seven American and ninety-four Spanish prisoners, who escaped in the confusion of the Filipino retreat. The Americans are P. J. Green and George Powers, of the battleship Oregon; Thomas Edwards and Charles Bird, of the Sixteenth infantry; Henry W. James, of the Twelfth infantry; John Desmond, of the signal corps, and H. H. Huber, of Lowe's soputs. They re port that two Americans who were un able to escape, are with the insurgents. They are David Scott, of the Twenty fourth infantry, and William Sherby, of the hospital corps. Four "deserters are with the Filipinos Howard, Mar tin and Ford, of the Califorhians, and Watts, whose former regiment is un known. Howard is the only one serv ing with the insurgents. He is a cap tain of artillery. - Colonel Bell, of the Thirty-fourth volunteers, arrived at Mangalaren last evening, after a hard march and ford ing the Agno. He found that Fowler's company of the Thirty-third had oc cupied the town for two days, the in surgents, General Alejandringo com manding, retreating to the mountains behind the town, short of food and am munition. Beside this, his men were deserting and six cannon, which ' the insurgents were dragging, impeded their march. Colonel Bell proposes to follow the Filipinos until he can bring about a decisive fight or they are scattered. Mangalaren was strongly fortified with rifle pits commanding the roads, but the insurgents abandoned the place without firing a shot. Three hundred Spanish prisoners who escaped from their captors before the American advance, including civil of ficials of rank who have been in the hands of the Filipinos for more than a year, and many officers, have arriv ed at Manila during the past week. Francisco Reyes brought 100 of them from General Wheaton. -They were a motley appareled and bearded com pany. Some were ill and had to be carried from Tayug to San Fabian in army wagons. A delegation of these former prisoners have visited Major General Otis in order to thank him for his hospitality which included the fur nishing of food and clothes. Senor Ja marillo, the Spanish commissioner, is making arrangements to send them to Spain on board the Spanish transports. A SLIPPERY RASCAL. Bueneamino has been lodged in com fortable quarters at the police station with his family. Other prisoners are not allowed to communicate with him. He is classed as being the most slip pery personage connected with the in surrection. He was a colonel In the Spanish army and a traitor to Spain. At the time of the first insurrection he tried tP f??ll out to the Filipinos and his present imprisonment f?xcites no sym pathy among his own people, while the Spaniards think it is mistaken lenien cy for the Americans to refrain from shooting him on the Luneta, the fate dealt out to better men in the anti Spanish uprising.

Bell, with the Thirty-sixth infantry, is in pursuit and will march down the western Luzon coast. Indications that there are two or three bodies of insur gent troops numbering from 500 or 600 or more men each in the mountains west of railroad; can be readily handled by MacArthur; they have the bulk of the insurgent artillery, all of which will be captured unless buried. IN PURSUIT OF AGUINALDO. "Young is still in pursuit of Agui naldo, who is heading for Bahgued, a few miles east of Vigan; Young, with cavalry and scouts, is followed by a battalion of the Thirty-third and by the balance of a battalion of the Twen-ty-fsecond.

Nothing is known a't headquarters in this divi sion, or in General Lee's, to justify .the report, published in the United States and cabled back here, that a thousand armed -Cubans Insurgents have taken to the woods in the prov ince of Pinar del Rio, and that a gen eral uprising against Ithe Americans has been planned " foT Thanksgiving day! Indeed, the story, is "absolutely discredited by the American author ities, who say it is impossible that any thing of tthe kind should have" hap pened) or should be in prospsct with out knowledge of lit 'coming to some army post, i . Rumors of a more or, less alarmist character: have for some time been plentiful around Havana. It is saJd, for instance, that this general or that is about ito (take to "the woods, and it is apparently true thaJt certain men are nursing programmes hostile to the American administration; but the spread of the campaign of education is doing a great deal to offset Ithe in fluence of such people, and in any event no trouble whatever ilt likely to occur until aflter congress meets. It is a fact, however, that many Americans here believe that if nothing is done toward giving ithe Cubans some definite assurances, if not a precise date, regarding the independence of the island, there will be a rising of some sort, although opinions differ widely with regard to what It will amount to. Some believe that the malcontents w-ould be practically bandits, easily controlled by' a few troops. Others hold that the rising would!" be formidable and! would call for a large American force.
