Chicago, Oot 28.?The Tribune priote a summary of the situation in tbe Philippine isianda from its special correspondent there, Richard H Little Tue letter, which is dated Manila, Sept 14, esys : "Here are eome figures, made seven months antl a half after our campaign againat the Filippinoe began Say it ia five miles to Angeles, we hold pos session of the railroad op to that point. We can fairly claim possession of the land a half mile on each side of the track We have possession of the wagoo road and, let ua say, a half mile on each eide from San Fernando, through Bacolor. to Santa Rita, eight miiee, with four miles to Guago We have a road from Mololos to Balianag. 11 miles northeast We can claim U square miles here 44 We have Manila, out as far as the waterworks, five miles away. That gives us, say 25 miles around tbe city "Then we have tbe road and a half mile each side down 18 miles to Iinus Then we have Calamba and some other points on the lake that Gen Lawton captured before he was ordered back. These towns are not approached by rosd, but by boat, across the Laguna do Bay, and we only control tbe land they stand on. "Adding up our total possessions, we find we have 117 square miles "The island of Luzon contains 42, a 000 square miles. ' Outside of Luzon the insurrec? tion seems to be growing. The in eurgents hold ports io Mindanao, the next largest island to Luzon in tbe Philippines, and aaid to be incalcul ably rich in gold and silver mines, iron and copper ores, and other minerals, besides possessing wonder ful forests of hard wood No Amer icons have dared venture there as yet, as Gen Otis has sent no troops to tbe island. Eoglisbmmen and Ger mane are prowling about tbe island getting all tbe nncessions they can. It is said several prospecting parties are at work "Gen. O'is reports ooi.fliots between the 'robber bands' aod American soldiers in Negros aod Cebu Tbe Nineteenth and the Sixth and ooe battalion of the Twenty-third infantry are now io thoue islands fighting tbe rubber bands, who dig trenches and oeoupy towns aod make night attacks after tbe fashion of tbe insurgents in Luion. "A late report from Cebu is that some 2.000 'robbers' were meoaoing our forces aod a collision wss immi? nent "The next campaign is going to be different from tbe lost. We will get out of tbe flat, open oonntry, into mountainous, thickly wooded country. If we do oot end tbe war here we will have to earry it into tbe high, rock ribbed mountains of Luion. "It will bo no violation of a State eeoret to ray that tbe first object of the next campaign will be to get tbo rest of tbo railroad from tbe bands of the insurgents. Tbe insurgents ought to bs firmly convinced by tois time that we want the Manila aod Dagopan railroad, as we have fought along that lioe seven months Tbey know we want it, and tbey also kcow that we are going to get it, for tbey are already (earing op the traok, borniog the ties aod boryiog tbe rails oortb of Angeles. "The country east of tbe railroad, oortb of Angeles, to Dagopan. is much like it is south of Manila, except high* er aod broken. Wert of tbe railroad are high mouotaios that will offer tbe insurgents better opportunity to retreat aod esoape than tbey bad in the low country With the takiog of tho rail? road, we will have out off tbe provinces of Ztmbales. Pagaaina u, Tarlso, Pan paoga and Bitaan from tbe main part of tbe island, aod oan lay olaim to a good deal more country than tbe pro oise amount of real estate on which our army is now oampiog "From tbe railroad Agoioaldo's army oao bardly retreat anywhere but northward, across tbe mouotaio to the fertile valley of the Rio Grand? de Cagayary. "Tbe 'walled city' oaonot u^nder stood why tbe army has eo moob trouble with tbe railroad. Wbeo tbe effioers io tbe field notify the 'walled oity' that the rails have becu torn up from tbo aeotioo of traok just com? pleted, and that the ties have been bnrned aod the grade destroyed, they get an ordor to 'Gx it.' So, after a few miles oi railroad are oompleted the soldiers have to scatter up and dowo tbe traok and go mioing for steel rails. Tbo insurgents bury the rails fivo or six feet deep They observed that the Amcrioaos located tho rails by sound? ing with a crowbar, so they resorted to tho cxpedioot of putting a layer of lies over tho railw To replace tho burued ties, tho quartermasters' depart ment wero foresd to use planks, two boards each, two ioohe* wide, hciog nailed togoiher for tios Tho sido traok, whorover possible, all the w?.y hack to Manila, was jorko? up, carried eft and put down whero tbe rails ooula not be found "Tho Amerioan army is badly in need of railroad ties aod tteels. "Another groat need or the army is light draft steamboats for use on tbe many irivere tod lakes of Loioo. There in hardly a plane io the world where ao army ooold nie river steam? ers to greater advantage The Rio Grande, the Chioo, the Rio Grande Pitpangtt, the Agno, the Biool and ^the Pnsig all fl)w through fertile and densely populated valloyt and offered means to tbe army of bringing np sup? plies and swiftly transposing large bodies of soldiers tbat would be invalu? able wer 3 it utilised. ''From what oan be learned of tbe insurgents, they are well batUfied with tbe present condition of affairs Their congress has just returood a oomreuoi cation to the Amerioan peaee commie sioa declaring that, while they would have aooepted autonomy from our gov? ernment if they had been properly dealt with at first, they will now con? sider no proposition ezoept indepen? dence With almosl 42 000 milee of territory from wbioh to draw supplies, and with boats coming io without any opposition from Hong Kong and from Central aod South Amerioa, and Australia, tbe insurgents probably are doing well as far as supplies are con? cerned."
