There are now 16,000 Spanish troops in and around Manila 10,000 more will embark from Spain during December; two troopships are on the way; and, by the end of January, it is expected that there will be a force of 30,000 European soldiers at the disposal of the Govern- ment. These with the Indian soldiers will give a total force of from 45,000 to 50,000 fighting man. During the last three weeks, outbreaks have occurred in provinces Altherto loyal. Cavite Is still the bead centre of the Insurrection, and It is estimated that there and in the adjacent provinces there are at least 50,000 rebels. Very severe fighting took place during November with heavy loss to the rebels the Government troops also suffered severely on several decasions in storming the enemy's forts. This was close to Manila, The latest information is that, in view of fresh outbreaks which have taken place in the provinces north of Manila, nearly all the troops have been withdrawn from Cavite and concentrated in Manila, which practically many that active operations in Cavite have bees abandoned for the present. This will greatly strengthen the rebels" position there and render their final dislodgement more difficult than ever. A new conspiracy has been discovered in Vigas, province of Ilocos, in the north, which was to rise on 3rd of December, when the rebels were expected to be in possession of arms.
