ot POLSODSOS Twenty-five Cents a Menth Mail cf Carrier wy _ RR shuataieeeeltl SEASON President Reported to Have Agreed on One in the Philippines. IMPORTANT MIDNIGHT CONFERENCE Reports From the Philippines Indicate That Offensive Operations Are Being Pushed. Many Americans Prostrated by Heat. WASHINGTON, June 5—Nothing can be leaned of the nature of the conference held until midnight last night between the presi- Gent, acting secretary of war aud General Corbin. Both Meikle- Jen and Corbin refuse to say a word on the subject. It is gene- Fally believed that important news, which has not yet been made Public, has been received from Otis at Manila, and is being discussed. Speculation is rife. One report circulated is to the effect that the president re- ceived news unfavorable to Lawton’s forces operating on Morong Peninsula, but the press dispatches from Manila do not bear this out. American losses, according to press dispatches, have been light. The heat and climate, however, are playing havoc with the American soldiers, over 200 having returned to Manila today. Later: — WASHINGTON, June §—The real reason of the midnight con. ference between the president, Acting Secretary Meiklejohn and General Corbin is stated on good authority to have been a desire of the officials to lay before the executive a plan of campaign dur- ing the rainy season and it is announced semi-officially that the President favored instructing General Otis to rapidly proceed. As a result the war will be prosecuted more vigorously than ever, rain or no rain. MANILA, June 5—-The capture of Morong, the rebel stronghold on the peninsula of that name, took place this morning without incident, the rebels having retired. The Americans camped and MANILA, June 5—Hall’s campaign against Under General Del Pilar at the north of Laguna De Bay continues vigorously today. The American lines across Morong peninsula, extending six miles from Morong on the east to Antipolo and Taytay on the west, be- gan gradually closing in this morning andthe advance down the peninsula began. Generali Hall hopes to bag the main body of the enemy. Yesterday General Hall occupied Antipolo, and Colonel Whol- ley's forces came through Cainto and united the combined force, then advanced on Morong. During the night General Lawton had brought his troops to Morong by water and those advanced and connected with Hall's troops, forming a chain across the peninsula, A few Filipinos slipped through the American lines last night, and escaped northward, The heat is terriffic with frequent show- ers and deadiy humidity, The hospital boats returning this morn- ing brought one hundred soldiers, who were suffering from heat and prostration. The country between Manila and the field of operations offers insurmountable obstacles to the transportation of supplies, and wagon communication from Manila through San Mateo Valley has been abandoned. MANILA, June 5~-Saturday Gen. Hall began the movement to round up ail Filipinos south of Manila and he was ably assisted by Col. Wholley with the Washington volunteers. Col. Wholley last night marched his men to Pasig river where they began to embark in canoes for the peninsula above the town of Morong. Gen. Hall's column began to cross the San Matoe river Satur- day morning. The insurgents were driven from the hills and they fled, scattering in all directions. The weather was hot, but the troops kept bravely on, not resting until last night. Gen. Hall completed the circuit before camp was made. The Country was almost entirely swept of Filipinos.
