Tho rainy season has Just begun In

against tho Insurgents are about ended
The next campaign can hardly begin soon-

during tho rainy season can hardly bo ex-

gained and prepare for tho nuxt campaign
tThe holding of what It has gained will
not be too easy with an Insurgent army

and making sallies and night attacks
whcrcer they feel tho need ot exercise
