ished wherever they may be, and by any means which may be possible. Article IV: The commanding generals and all guerilla chiefs in their respective districts are entrusted with and responsible for a speedy execution of this general order. Given in the capital of the republic on Jan. 17, 1901. E. Aguinaldo. There is a seal in purple ink, consisting of a sun and three stars, and the words, Philippine republic, office of the President. Address of submission. After his capture Aguinaldo was fully informed of the actual situation in all parts of the archipelago, not only by the United States military, naval, and civil authorities, but by many of his former generals and supporters who had surrendered. He was thus led to issue the following address to the Filipinos, which was published in Manila on April 19: I believe I am not in error in presuming that the unhappy fate to which my adverse fortune has led me is not a surprise to those who have been familiar with the pro

Bacolor, A town in Luzon, Philippine Islands, on the road from Manila to Tarlac; about 30 miles northwest of the former city. During the British invasion of the Philippines, in 1762, it was for some time the capital of the group, the Spaniards, under fear lest the city of Manila should be bombarded, hastily removing their seat of government. The town attracted considerable attention in 1899 because of the United States military operations against the Filipino insurgents and the remarkable chase after Aguinaldo through that section of Luzon.

f the Bureau of Information (or secret-service department of the army in the Philippines). In February, 1899, when operations were begun against the Filipino insurgents, he attached himself to the staff of General MacArthur, and rendered important service in scouting. On Sept. 9, for most distinguished gallantry in action near Porac. Luzon, President McKinley directed that a congressional medal of honor should be presented to him. On Nov. 12, Colonel Bell took possession of Tarlac, where Aguinaldo had established his headquarters. The following month he was promoted to brigadier-general of volunteers. On the reorganization of the regular army in February, 1901, President McKinley appointed Colonel Bell one of the new brigadier-generals--an act that caused considerable surprise, as this officer was only a captain in the regular army, and was advanced over the heads of more than 1,000 officers who, according to the rules of seniority, would have been entitled to precede him in prom

Bulacan, A Philippine town on the island of Luzon, a few miles northwest of Manila. Its population is mostly native, and the town is chiefly engaged in sugarboiling, although there are several other industrial plants. Bulacan was considered a place of considerable strategic importance by the Filipino insurgents after they had been driven from the immediate suburbs of Manila, and because of this fact was the scene of considerable military activity after the American troops began their remarkable chase after Aguinaldo. Early in 1900 the town was under complete American control, and a military post was established there.

the precipice. Deeming these appearances suspicious, he ascended the ladder and at the summit found many large wooden cases filled with documents comprising a great number of the archives of the insurgents, including all the correspondence of Aguinaldo from the time of his earliest communications with Dewey down to the flight from Malolos, and also including Aguinaldo's personal letter-book, with press copies of his correspondence. These boxes were hidden in a ravine, but were all recovered all the correspondence of Aguinaldo from the time of his earliest communications with Dewey down to the flight from Malolos, and also including Aguinaldo's personal letter-book, with press copies of his correspondence. These boxes were hidden in a ravine, but were all recovered and taken to Manila, where their contents were delivered to the American authorities. On March 23, 1901, he captured Aguinaldo (q. v.), and on the 30th following was commissioned brigadiergeneral in the regular army.

Islands were to be ceded to the United States, instead of awaiting the arrival of the American forces, then on the way to take possession of the city, he turned it over to Vincente Guies, the alcade. On the following day that official surrendered it to 3,000 Filipino insurgents. When Gen. M. P. Miller, of the American army, reached the bay on which the city is situated he found General Lopez with 5,000 Filipinos in possession. The Filipinos would not surrender without instructions from Aguinaldo, and General Miller made preparations to take forcible possession, but on a petition from the European residents no hostile move was made until Feb. 11, 1899, when the American commander demanded the surrender of the city to the authority of the United States. After it became evident that the insurgent-officer in command would not peaceably accede to this demand, the United States naval vessels Petrel and Baltimore opened fire upon the city, which was soon evacuated by the insurgents afte

g that part of the country objected to the jurisdiction of the whites, just as some of the Filipinos have done in the Philippine Islands, and they made war on the whites, under Michikiniqua, chief of the Miamis, as the Filipinos have done under Aguinaldo, chief of the Tagals. Under date of Oct. 6, 1789, President Washington forwarded instructions to Governor St. Clair, in which he said: It is highly necessary that I should, as soon as possible, possess full information whether the Wabae in process of citizenization. Government Indian schools now number about 150, with nearly as many contract schools. Indian education is costing the government about $2.000,000 a year. The trouble in the Philippines has been occasioned by Aguinaldo and his associates. Americans are there of right, and they ask nothing of the natives but to be peaceable, to obey the laws, and to go ahead with their business; they will not only be protected in every right, but will be aided by all the powe
Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Katipunan League, (search)
Katipunan League, A revolutionary organization in the Philippine Islands. The aim of the society was to expel the Spaniards and the monastic orders from the islands. The most inhuman atrocities were committed by both the Spanish troops and the Katipunan insurgents. The revolt was brought to an end by a compact made Dec. 14, 1897, between Aguinaldo and thirty-four other leaders, who agreed to quit the Philippine Islands, not to return until authorized by the Spanish government: the Spanish government agreeing to pay $1,700,000 in instalments, provided the rebellion was not renewed within a certain time. A first instalment of $400,000 was paid, but the promised reform was not carried out and the families of the former leaders were persecuted by the Spanish authorities.

ld have suffered great loss. On May 15 he captured San Isidro, which at that time was the insurgent capital. On June 1 he was given the command of the defences of Manila, and in October began an offensive movement, with the view of capturing Aguinaldo, marching along the road between Bacoor and Imus, and so northward. He everywhere drove the enemy before him and captured a number of towns. On Oct. 19 he reached Arayat, and shortly after made his headquarters at Cabanatuan, from which place he became active in scattering the insurgents through the surrounding country. During November his movements in the pursuit of Aguinaldo were remarkably rapid, and surprised veteran soldiers, as military operations were deemed impossible during the long rainy season. On Dec. 1 he was at Tayng, and on the 16th left Manila for San Mateo. Here, during an engagement on the 19th, he was on the firing-line. Being 6 feet 3 inches in height, and attired in full uniform, he was a conspicuous target
