THE TAGALOS’ COUNTRY CUT IN TWi Insurgent Strength Is Now Grentls Restricted—12':isliington Authori- ties Eager For Aguinaldo's Capture—Otis’ Report. MANILA, March 17.—A battalion o the Twentieth infantry yesterday mad! an attack upon the village of Caintz and after a hard fight drove the enemy out and captured the place. The American loss was two men kill. ed and 13 wounded. The insurgent loss was heavy. Major Rogers of the Twentieth infan- try, with Companies F, C, L and G, ad- vanced north from Pasig to the oper fields 600 yards from Cainta,-when sud- denly the enemy opened a heavy fire from the trenches. For three hours there was the hottesi kind of fighting, Companies F and C flanking the town from the church tc the woods and Companies L and G at- tacking the enemy’s front. The enemy was finally compelled tc give way and after setting fire to the village retreated to Taytay. Major Rog- ers’ troops continued their advance crossing a small river and capturing and burning Taytay, from which the enemy was driven. ' The four companies of the Twentieth infantry then returned to Pasig. Sig- nal Lieutenant Kilbourn communicated the news of the capture of Cainta by wire from the front. The wounded Americans are Sergeant Cheek of Company L, William Lafeyeth, Vance Mayhan, John Griffith and George McFarlan of Company L; Cor- poral Tincker, Oliver Kinney and Mi- chael Kelly of Company C; W'illiam Early and Sam Householder of Compa- ny F, and Thomas Varley, John Gilley and Mascot Gauckman of Company G. The killed were Corporal Johnson and Private McAvoy of Company L. ‘ These casualties occurred at Cainta. General Anderson visited Pasig yes- terday. The capture of Cainta marks a de~ cided advance on the part of the Amer- ican forces from Manila toward the eastern side of the island of Luzon. The town is in a northeasterly direction from Pasig, which our troops already held, and is situated near the northern shore of the Laguna de Bay, about as far beyond Pasig as that place is dis- tant from Manila. Cable Nexvs From Otis. WASHINGTON, March 17. — The growing success of the American cam- paign in the Philippines is indicated in this cable dispatch received at the war department yesterday: “Manila, March lG.—-I‘;cports from 110- ilo indicate improvement; less activity on the part of insurgents of island. Re— ports from Negros most encouraging: inhabitants enthusiastic; quiet prevails throughout the island and Colonel Smith directing affairs in framing in- ternal government. Ceb‘u quiet; busi- ness progressing under United States protection. Reports from 'Samar and Leyte indicate desire of inhabitants for United States troops; these islands oc- cupied. Insurgents’ control confined to Luzon, and the occupation-"of the Pasig river line, with control of Laguna de Bay, has cut the country occupied by the Tagalos in two nearly equal parts. “OTIS.” The most valuable information con- ,tained in this message, in the opinion of the. war office, is that the insurgent strength is now confined to a. small re- gion in the island of Luzon. .' There is a very keen desire on th part of the war department officers that Aguinaldo be captured. The adminis- tration is convinced that the backbone of the insurgent movement would be broken by the loss of the chief leader, and there is a great deal of hope that Aguinaldo may be taken prisoner. The fact is well recognized among the offi- cers that an organization of ignorant’ and half savage men such as Agui- naldo's followers speedily breaks up when it loses its chief leader. If Malolos is taken, as will almost cer— tainly be the case, a strong effort will be made to capture Aguinaldo and some of his principal officers. The following cable dispatch was also received from General Otis: “Manila, March 15.—Casua?ties March 13, near Guadalupe: VV’ounde'l~-Ts\'enti-_ eth infantry, Company M, Sergeant ~William Barkley, shoulder, slight.

SAN FRANCISCO, March lit—There is hardly a section of California that has not been visited by rain within the past two days, and in most places it has been raining almost constantly for 48 hours.

Soldiers OMAHA. March 17.—-’Ihe army board of inquiry arrived yesterday morning from Chicago and left for Kansas City in the evening. The morning was spent in South Oma- ha, where the plants of Cudahy and Swift were inspected and testimony taken, after which the investigation vas conducted at the headquarters of the department of the Missouri. At both Swift’s and Cudahy's the visitors were given every opportunity to make a thor- ough inspection of the plants. W'hen Cudahy’s was reached, the board was met by Daniel Cameron. general super— intendent of the plant. and shown through the canning department. Mr. Cameron had a mass of figures on the subject, showing that Cudahy had fur- nished the army only 3.500 cases of canned beef during the war. Of this one lot of: 1,000 cases went to Jacksonville. Flanwwhile the rest was sent to San Francisco and Manila. 'At the packing house the party was shown the entire operation of canning. Special attention was given to the roast beef. Dr. Bigelow took samples of av- erage beef and followed them from the time they were cut up until they were placed in the cans. In this department it was found that two ounces of a liquid consisting of water, salt and a sirup' based on sugar Was placed in each can. The intention is not to preserve the beef by this, but to give it an additional fla- vor. After the inspection, the board opened a can of roast beef and all ate some_of it. Returning to the.o ice, the board took testimony for an hour. The first witner called was Albert Chris- in the beef department. He testified as to the quality of refrigerated beef sent to the army in the south last summer. It was all beef of the best quality and was chilled ‘ and refrigerated .in the usual way. He stated that the company fur~ nished 137,931 pounds of beef at Jack- sonville during the war. No) chemicals of any sort were used to preserve the beef, the company relying entirely on cold air to keep the meat in good con- dition. So far'as he knew no complaint had been made. The Swift plant was visited ',xt. The department where hams are c” I Philadelphia had testified that while here he saw liquid injected into the meat. Thomas Adams, foreman of the department, testified that the opera- tion was one having reference to the curing of hams and was not used in beef at any time. The liquid injected was saltpeter and water, and its only purpose was to cure the ham more quickly.‘ An employee testified that he had shown Dr. Christine through during his visit here and that the operation wit- nessed by the board was the same as that witnessed by the doctor. The board then returned to army headquarters and heard the testimony of soldiers who had been through the campaign at Santiago. Captain S. “W. Dunning of the Six— teenth infantry said that on the trans- port from Tampa to Santiago canned roast beef was issued as part of the re.- tions. He heard no complaints, but heard the men joking about the meat. After arrival at Santiago the men com- plained that they could not eat the meat and did not like it. They said the meat spoiled as soon as opened: Captain Vv’. H. Beck, acting inspector general of the department of the Mis- souri, said the canned beef used on the voyage to Cuba was a. new ration to him. The men said the beef nauseated them. They mixed other things with it in an attempt to improve it. Some of the meat was soft and presented an un- sightly appearance. The men wanted to exchange it for bacon, but could not do so because they were in advance of their supplies. The first supply of re- frigerated beef was remarked upon fa- vorably. Personally he thought it fine. Later a quantity of it was found to be spoiled, which was attributed to the exposure. The President Resting. THOMASVILLE.
