Pres. Aguinaldo Escapes By Train

Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):

NOVEMBER 13, 1899

Pres. Emilio Aguinaldo with his entourage left Bayambang by special train to Calasiao. From there, they marched to the town of Pozorrubio and arrived the following day.

Maj. Gen. Henry Lawton who was on pursuit captured the towns of San Jose and Lupao in Nueva Ecija, and the Pangasinan towns of San Nicolas, Umingan, San Quintin and Tayug.

The campaign to trap Aguinaldo began on October 12 until November 20, 1899, and was a three-pronged operation consisting of the forces of Lawton, Gen. Lloyd Wheaton and Gen. Arthur MacArthur Jr.
