MANILA, Nov. 20.—The following dispatches have been received here lrom correspondents of the Associated Press, accompanying the American ad vance northward: GERONA, Nov. 18— General Mac Arthur entered Gerona as already ca bled, this afternoon. The insurgents had fled last Monday, after burning the depot. Nothing eise was destroyed by them. Gerona Is the first town along the Manila Dagupan railway line, where the natives did not run at the approach of the Americans. The padres offered quarters in the church and convent. The town has one good house. Gerona is the seat of heavy English sugar interests. The trip here was a hard one and occupied six hours in covering seven miles and a half. Most of the time was sepnt In fording a quarter of a mile flood, running out of the Rio Tar lac. We have no wagons, and pack mules and native hearers carry all our supplies. The natives here say that Ilayom bona was occupied last Sunday by mounted troops, probably General Young's brigade of General Lawton's division. The people here are of a better class than we have usually found, and they welcomed the Amer icans, as they evidently realize that their agricultural Interests will revive. General MacArthur said this after noon: “We seem to be entering a dif ferent political atmosphere. The peo ple here seem to be less attached to Agulnaldo’s cause than those In many towns we have entered on the railroad line.” The command will move nonnwaru at daybreak tomorrow, toward Bayom bong. Gerona wil be garrisoned with two companies of the Thirty-sixth, Immediately on entering Gerona Sla ven's scouts moved up the track to ward Panique. On the way they en countered an entrenched party of in surgents, whom they drove back, then entering the town and capturing four locomotives and thirteen cars, as al ready cabled. They learned that 500 insurgents had left the town in the course of the afternoon. "PANIQUE, Nov. 20.—General Mac Arthur’s troops arrived from Gerona in the course of the morning. The lailroad beyond this point had been destroyed. The captured railway stock is being repaired to handle supplies. The expedition will go north toward Iiayomboug, probably today. The sig nal corps Is constructing lines with great rapidity. A native courier from Ilayombong reports that the American troops left the town soon after they entered, and that many natives re main, though no insurgents. General MacArthur discovered here Major Joneson, formerly chief sur geon on the staff of the Filipino com mander, General Mascardo. He re sides at Bacolor, and is about to re turn there to resume his practice. Major Joneson says that all respecta ble Filipinos are disgusted with the behavior of the insurgents and are very glad that the Americans have the upper hand. A continuous procession of refugees is entering Panique from the north, indicating the proximity of other American troops, probably off the rail road line. These refugees say that the insurgents have not known which way to turn, with the Americans occupying so many places on the north. FIVE KILLED, MANY INJURED.

MANILA, Nov. 18.—The latest infor mation as to Agulnaldo’s whereabouts comes from Major Swlgert of the Third cavalry. Major Swlgert reports moving against the rebel general at Pazaru blo. This disposes of all rumors as to Aguinaldo being at Dagupan and hem med In by our forces at Pazarubio Is outside the line drawn hy our troops. New York—Pozorubio, which place the Herald’s special cable Indicates tin* rebel leader now occupies, Is about ten miles from San Jacinto, lying a llttla north of east from that town. It was at San Jacinto that the last hard fighting with the insurgents was reported, in which Major John A. Lo gan was killed while leading a charge. The war department had hopes that Aguinaldo hud been caught between the lines of General Wheaton qn the coast of the gulf of Llngayen, and those of MacArthur near Tarlac. In the meantime Lawton has been pushing up through the Interior, send ing his cavalry under General Young far ahead In the direction of Bayou borg. Two days ago it was reported that Young was but a few miles from the latter point. Major Swlgert is a cavalry officer, and, while not absolutely certain, in army circles at Washington last night, it was believed that he wa3 attached to General Young’s command. It therefore seems most probable that he has swung over westward from the direction of Bayonborg, and con sequently is closing in on Pozorubio from the north. In that event tiio chances of surrounding the rebel lead er are excellent. General MacArthur, with the Thiny sixth Infantry, a battalion of the Fif teenth infantry, a troop of the Fourth cavalry, several Gatlings and a detach ment of the signal corps, lias bec,un ins northward advance from Tarlac, which will lie contlnud to Bayombong, province of New Vizcaya.

LOGAN DEAD. Son of Famous “Black Jack'* Shot While Lending Ills Battalion. MANILA, Nov. 15.—The Thirty-third infantry, in one of the sharpest two hour engagements of the war, with an equal force of Insurgents five miles from San Fabian, Saturday, lost one officer (Major John A. Logan, jr.) and six men killed and two officers and twelve men wounded. The Americans captured twenty-nine Filipinos and 100 rifles and found elghty-one Insurgent dead lying in the trenches and rice Helds. Many more Filipinos were doubtless killed or wounded. General Wheaton was informed that the enemy was gathering at San Ja cinto, for the purpose of preventing the Americans from controlling the rail road from Dagupan north, whereby Agulnaldo might retreat, ihe Thirty third. Colonel Howe commanding, and a detachment of the Thirteenth, with a Gatling gun, Howland commanding, were sent to disperse them. The troops encountered the worst road ever found in the island of Luzon. There was a succession of creeks, whose bridges the Americans had to stop and repair, and miry ditches and at certain places men and horses struggled waist deep in quagmires. A hundred soldiers had to drag the Gatling gun purt of the way, the horses being useless. The insurgents opened the fight two miles from San Jacinto, while the lead ing American battalion was passing a clump of houses in the midst of a co coanut grove, knee deep in mud. The Filipino sharpshooters, hidden In trees and houses and In a trench across the road held their fire until the Americans were close to them, when they began firing. Other Filipinos opened fire lrom the thickets rlgnt aud left fur ther away. The insurgent sharpshoot ers picked olt the officers first. Five of the Americans who fell wore shoul der straps or chevrons. Hut the Thir ty-third never wavered. Its crack marksmen knocked the Fil ipinos from the trees like squirrels and the Amelcans rushed the trench, leav ing four dead Insurgents there. The regiment then deployed under fire with Major John A. Logan’s bat talion 111 the center. Major Cronje's on the right side and Major Marsh on the left. The skirmish line, which was a mile long, advanced rapidly, keeping up a constant fire. The Filipinos made an unexpected stand, many of then remaining under cover until the Americans were within twenty feet of them. Major Marsh flanked u small trench full of Insur gents, surprising them and slaughter ing nearly all of tnem before entering the town. The Gatling killed five or the force holding the bridge and swept the country beyond the town, driving about 150 Filipinos Into the hills. Marsh's battalion, entering the town first, captured a big battle flag, which was flying over a convent. The Insurgents are supposed to have retreated toward Dagupan. It was Im possible to pursue them, as the Amer ican troops were exhausted and their supply of ammunition was law. The outposts killed live Filipinos during the night. The body of a i ilipino lieu tenant colonel was found among the killed. The regiment returned to San Fabian, It being Impossible to get sup plies over the roads. BRYAN 6RLETS MARYLAND.
