I am very sorry Mr. Evans hasnot been able to deliver to youthe arms. The seizure of the Pasig has put every official, Chineses and Eng- lish, on the watch. I hear that the Pasig is now at Macao and is going from there to Canton to try and ship arms. I hope it will succeed anc they will soon be with you.” In his next Consul Wildman says: *I have vouched for your honesty of purpose to the President of the United States. “Do not forget that the United States undertook tais war for the sole purpose of relieving the Cubans from the cruelties under which they were suffering, and not for the love of con- quest or the hope of gain. They are actuated by precisely the same feel- ings toward the Filipinos. Whatever may be the final disposition of the ldo was on conquered territory you can trust the | United States that justice and honor will control all their dealings with you.” Next follows Aguinaldo’s proclamation, written for him tablishing the ¥ no govérnment, under which all of his military operations were conducted and which was “to fit our country for inclusion in the comity of civilized states, like our neighbor, Japan.” This was fesued May 24, 1592, June 16 Admir; wey acknowledges of ietter m Aguinaldo enclos- no Governmentf which the admiral “takes pleasure in transmii- ting to my Government.” Then follow letters from Dewey to Aguinaldo, aeking passes for various | Englishmen and others who desired to visit the interior. July 18 Dewey transmits to Aguinaldo a letter of the French Consul in regard to the capture of a French ship by the Fili-| pinos. Dewey says: “As my forces were not concerned in this capture, I transmit the letter with & request that you show due regard for French interests.” Then follow long letters from Otis | to Aguinaldo asking co-operation, and making a variety of suca re- quests as under public law can only be asked of or granted by a govern- ment de facto. General Anderson appears on the scene 6 asking of Aguinaldo “your Excel- 8 advice and co-operation, for I am solicitous to avold any conuict of author- ity which might result from having two sets of military officers exercising com- mand in the same place. Your sanitary officers have been making an inspection with mine and are in fear of epidemic dis- eases if the vicinity is not made clean. Would it not be well to have prisoners do the cleaning under advice of the sur- geon?" In further correspondence General An- derson requested the use of Aguinaldo's military and strategic maps. January 9, 1599, he writes Agulnaldo of the growing restlessness of his people and diplomatic dental | | says they may depend upon “the friendly protection of the United States.” After the Spanish surrender of Manila the correspondence shows that }om claimed jurisdiction only over | Manila, “its suburbs and defenses, | which the United States is compelled ) to occupy and administer under its national obligations to Spain.” The | rest of Luzon was acknowledged by | Otis to be under the control and juris- | diction of Aguinaldo, The foregoing comprises all that is of | present interest in the batch of docu- | ments. In disconnected and unverified form much of it has appeared. It will form the basis of the discussions which must occur in establishing the us and responsibility of the United States.

Williston, the provost marshal. When Tarlac fell Buencamino fled northward with Aguinaldo's three- vear-old son and an old lady, supposed to be the mother of Agulnaldo’s conflden- tlal servant, Tomas Maxarine, and a guard of a hundred soldlers. Reaching the neighborhood of the coast November 13, Buencamino found American soldiers on every side and escape impossible. So he sought refuge in a little Pangasinan viliage, near Manaoag, where the natives were lukewarm toward the insurrection. On learning his identity some refugees brought the news on November 20 to Col- onel Luthér R. Hare, commanding the Thirty-third Intantry, garrisoning Manaoag. After communicating with General Wheaton, Cronin's Battalion sur- rounded the village November 21. Buen- tamino's guard had hidden thelr rifles and uniforms and Buencamino surrendered without resistance. He had only a few clothes and $2000 in gold. General Wheaton kept the woman and child and sent Buencamino-to Manila on the transport Brutus, in charge of Lieu- tenant Smith of the Twentleth Infantry. Buencamino seemed cheerful and rather glad that his troubles had culminated. On the arrival of the Brutus at Manila this morning, Lieutenant Smith took Buencamino to the palace. He was only a few minutes in General Otis’ office. The priscner told General Otis that he desired peace and had for a long time used his influence for peace. Aguinaldo, he added, was retreating north with 2000 men and two cannon. General Otis then summoned Provost Marshal Williston, who previous to driv- ing away with Buencamino, recelved in- structions to lock him up in comfortable quarters and allow no person to see him. Buencamino is the chief author of the lipino constitution and most of the ate documents. The news which the steamship Brutus ngs from Dagupan dispels all doubts tha the so-called Filipino republic is crumbling like & house of cards. Agul- naldo is deserted or being abandoned by the polit s, and the army which a fortmight ago was intrenched gt Tarlac and exercised a de facto government over nine-tenths of the people of Luzon is a fugitive In the mountains, with small hope of re-establishing the machine. The army is scattered in the hills on both sides of the raliroad and widely separated detachments are within the cordon which Generals Lawton and Wheaton have ce- mented. The ruling spirit of the Cabinet is a prisoner in Manila—a white elephant on the hands of the authorities—and the small fry are tumbling over one another o get to Manila. Three Provisional Gov- ernors have arrived In Manila to request General Otis to Install them in their old offices under the new regime. Dr. Luna, a brother of General Luna, and a promi- nent jnsurrectionist, has arrived here, and his friends and many others are applying to General Otis for permission to enjoy the luxuries of Manila after months of separation from civilization. There were no demonstrations over the victory here, the flags are flying at half-mast out of respect for Vice Presi- dent Hobart. The natives appear to be unmoved and business is unrufled. Last night parties of insurgents made feeble attacks on Imus and the Zapote bridge. The only large force of insur- gents known to remain are those in the Cavite province, at San Mateo and In the Zambeles Mountalns, though several sea- rts have large garrisons. Agulnaldo began his retreat with 2000 men under General Gregerio del Pilar. That force was probably brought to its present proportions by desertion. The last deflnite news as to Agunaldo's where- abouts is that he passed through Trinldad, st of Aringay, toward Bayombong, es- corted by 200 men of the Bulacan bat- talion, who had dwindled from 600 within a week. General Mino, who fought the Thirty-third at San Jacinto, is supposed to have joined him. A letter from General Mino has been intercepted, in which the writer says that 200 of his men were killed or wounded, but that he had enough, however, going to the mountains. General Young, with the Maccabebes and Chase's troop of cavalry, is still on the trail of the rebels. Men and horses are badly used up.@General Wheaton is trying to get reinforcements and supplies to them from the coast. Genera! Young left Tayug on November 13 to connect with General Wheaton, with the Macea- bebes and three troops of cavalry. Two troops, commanded by Captain Hunter and Lieutenant Thayer, with twelve men, started for San Fablan, taking the chances of getting through the lines of the enemy, who where supposed to be be- tween Asingan and San Fablan. After a daring ride by way of Magaldan and San Jacinto, he arrived at San Fablan on No- vember 14, dashing throughf'a considerable force of the enemy at Magaldan. His un- dertaking was reported at Manila by cou- rier from General Young to San Jose. The fate of Lieutenant Thayer and his companions was not known until to-day, and fears prevailed here that they had either been killed or captured. Major Swigert, with the other two troops, reconnoltered toward Pozorrublo, twice attacking a force which it was aft- learned was Aguinaldo’s rear guard. In the meantime General Whea- sent the Thirteenth Regiment to Santo Tomas and Rosarlo, two launches from the Oregon, Lieutenant Niblack commanding, accompanying them along the shore. A hundred Insurgents were found intrenched at Rosario. Buck's bat- talion drove them from the trenches and routed them, the Thirteenth Regiment losing one man killed and three wounded. Cronin’s battalion marched to Pozorru- ; General Young's force, which had just learned that Aguinaldo had passed through Asingan on his way to Binalonan the night before. General Young started to head off the party at | Pozorrubio, and might have succeeded but that he took the wrong road, reaching Manaocag, where he struck the rear guard of the insurgent chief, capturing a quan- tity of supplies, Aguinaldo's wife's effects and thirty-five Remingtons. Darkness coming on compelled him to abandon the pursuit for the night and a heavy rainfall on the two following days handicaped him further, else Aguinaldo might have been captured. Buencamino’s endurance was exhausted. He had left Aguinaldo’s party there and remained among the Americans a week until the natives betrayed him. Aguinaldo s on the mountain trails, | having twenty-five horses in the party, and has a good chance of ‘eluding the Americans unless he gets among hostile natives, General Lawton entered San Fablan with his staff on November 18, after a perilous and exhausting trip. He ar- ranged the distribution of troops in the surrounding country and started to return to Tayug on Sunday. The husiness men of Dagupan and many foreigners have sent word to General ‘Wheaton that the insurgents have evac- uated and requested that he garrison the a House of Cards. place. Captain Howland took the battal- ion of the Eighteenth Regiment and pro- ceeded to Dagupan. He found 2500 people in a town whose nominal population is 50,000, the remainder having fled to the swamps. Captain Howland reinstalled in office the local authorities of Aguianldo’'s Government, all of whom took the oath of allegiance. The Third Cavalry had one man killed and three wounded in the fight at Santo Tomas. OFFICIAL REPORTS FROM GENERAL OTIS WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—The adjutant general has recelved the following cable- gram from General Otis: ¥ MANILA, Nov. 25.—A wessel from Lingayen Gulf with dispatches from Wheaton to 23 inst. brought in Buencamino, insurgent Secre- tary of Stats, captured on the 2ist inst He was with Aguinaldo and party and left Tarlac on the night of the 13th to be escorted north by two thousand troops from Bayambong and Dagupan. These troops Wheaton struck at San Jacinto and Young eastward. Aguinaldo, with part of his family, escaped north with 200 men, passing between Young and Wheaton. Young wag still in pursuit at last accounts and has been ‘rationed at San Fernando. Aguin- aldo's mother and oldest child, with Buenca: ino, separated from the rest of the party; mother lost in woods and child, 4 years old, with Wheaton's troops. Two thousand dollars 8013, belonging to mother, captured snd now in Manila treasury. Heavy storm in Lingayen has prevented loading of troops there for the north. MacArthur has captured insurgent di- rector of railroad, who endeavored to destroy rallrcad to Dagupan; also Captain Lawrence, Englishman, who served Aguinaldo's artillery. Telegraph not working north of Tarlac to-day. Lawton believed to be on military road to Bayambong. Roads now practicable for wag- ons, and supplies for him being forwarded. Our troops have liberated 300 Spanish pris- oners recently. The following cablegram was also re- ceived from General Otis: MANILA, Nov. 25.—Insurgents made a feint on Imus last night. Three enlisted men wounded; their loss was two killed, one cap- tured. Quickly withdrew. Additional troops were sent from Manila to-day. The insurgents will be driven south. Reports from Negros are encouraging. Chief insurgent leader north of the island surrendered voluntarily. More plant- ing being done. More sugar mills at work than &t any time since the revolution against Spain began. Officers report the people are ap- parently cheerful and hopeful; that the form of government in operation is well suited to conditions and working smoothly. o Lot SCHURMAN AND LONG TALK OF PHILIPPINES PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.—The Union League celebrated the thirty-sixth anni- versary of its founding by a banquet at the clubhouse to-night. John D. Long, | Secretary of the Navy, and Jacob Gould Schurman, president of Cornell University and president of the Philippine Commis- sion, were the guests of honor and the principal speakers. Professor Schurman In his address sald the American flag had been planted in the Phillppines and was there to stay. Hon. John D. Long, Secretary of the Navy, upon bemg introduced, described the great popular demonstration which he had witnessed earlier in the day at the funeral of Vice President Hobart, when the late neighbors of the distinguished statesmen had evinced their sorrow and respect for his memory. He sald: “Let us congratulate ourselves on the condition In which the country is now under the present administration of af- fairs, the admirable condition of its in- dustries and its business. Tell me what there is you would have otherwise than it is, the principle of the government you would have enforced that is not to-day in force, what line of development you would seek that is not the line on which your Government is now proceeding. “With regard to the Philippine ques- tion, it occurs to ask whether or mnot, some thirty years from now, somebody may not rise in this hall and say: ‘I re- member that in 1899 there were excellent people who said the despotisms of the old world were as nothing as compared with the tyranny of Willlam McKinley." Ah! thirty years from now not only will our people be rejoicing in the humanity and the generous spirit which has animated this administration In its attitude toward the Philippines in giving them the bless- ings of good government, but the next generation of the Inhabitants of these islands Wwill recall the establishment among them of the school, the ship, the institutions of liberty, and will thank God that, under the sheiter of the broad shield of the United States, they find realization of their dream of a larger liberty in be- coming American citizens. If Imperialism means the subjugation of a people or the deprivation of thelr rights, then there is not an imperialist In the length and breadth of our land, but if imperialism means the extension of the American in- stitution among those people who have come under the shleld of the United States, then we are all imperialists.” g PREDICTS PRESIDENT M'KINLEY’S DEFEAT BOSTON, Nov. 2%.—The New England Anti-Imperialietic League held its annual meeting In Wesleyan Hall to-day, at which the principal speech was made by ex-Governor George W. Boutwell. Wins. low Warren presided. Ex-Governor Bout- well roundly scored the McKinley admin- stration for its policy In the Philippines. The point In his address—and it was all punctuated with applause—which aroused most enthusiasm was when he declared that if President McKinley is the candi- date of the Republican party next year on a platform embodying his present pol- fcy he will be as surprised a man on the morning after election as Van Buren was in 1840, when he thought he was elected, while he had received the votes of only five States. Gamaliel Bradford presented a resolu- tion, which was adopted, to the ffect that the miniaters should be asked to present the topic of the war in the Philippines in their Thanksgiving day sermons. At the business meeting officers were elected, including George 8. Boutwell, president; Irving Winslow, secretary Francis A. Osborne, treasurer. e INSURGENTS OF PANAY ISLAND DRIVEN BACK MANILA, Nov. 2.—The movement against the insurgents in the Island of Panay has resulted in driving them to the mountains twenty miles Inward. The troops engaged were two battalions of the Nineteenth Regiment, a battalion of the Twenty-sixth Regiment, the Right- eenth Regiment, Gordon mounted scouts and Bridgmal battery of the Bixth Ar- tillery. The Americans in all los: and had thln&elfln man“e::nlgakg:g eral Hughes, General Carperiter and nel Edmund Rice cflmmlnd’gd”dflflns "tl:; various fights. Thirty. insurgents were killed in the engagements and the | natives reported that nineteer carloads of | wounded were taken away. | Among the Americans killed were a | leutenant of the Eighteenth Regiment | and a sergeant of artillery. Twelve obso- lete cannon were captured. Santa Bar- bara and Maasin arsenal were deserted before the Americans arrived. The in- surgents seeing it was impossible to resist the movement retired with most of thelr stores. The Third Infantry reconnoitering from Balinag met the insurgents on the main road and had a running fight to San Ilde- fonso, where they drove three hundred | Filipinos from an old Spanish redoubt. Proceeding toward San Miguel, the Americans found the insurgents in a| series of strong works, two miles south of the town, probably Gemeral Pio del Pllar's old command, numbering 750 men. An officer and a private were killed. The | insurgents had four men killed and ten | wounded. Nine Filipinos were captured. This is probably the largest band of insur- gents north of the Pasig River. —— e PILAR'S ATTEMPT TO AID AGUINALDO WASHINGTON, Nov. 2%5.—The War De- partment officlals are disposed to account for the sudden activity developed by the insurgents south of Manila, as reported this morning, on the assumption that the insurgent general in command there be- leved to be Pio del Pilar, has recelved notice through some of his sples of the desperate stralts of Aguinaldo and Is mantully trying to create a diversion in his favor by attacking the American force from the rear. He occuples strong defensive ground, and Cavite province, the home of Aguinaldo, has never been taken by the Spaniards since the first hostilities, General Schwan, assisted by the ma- rines from the naval station at Cavite, made a rald through the territory last summer, but it was during the wet sea- son, the swamps were deep, and beyond driving the Insurgents off temporarily nothing substantial was achieved, and the country was abandoned to the insurgents. Now, however, with the advent of the dry season, the time Is ripe for the execution of the plans of General Otis to clear out this country permanently and carry out | his favorite project for the installment in | the province of municipal governments, | and General Grant, in command there, is | belng reinforced with that special abject. PARLIAMENT UPHOLDS THE STAND OF SILVELA MADRID, Nov. %.—Senor Silvela, hav- ing refused to present to the Chamber of Deputies the reports of the proceedings | against the officers who surrendered San- | | tiago de Cuba and Manila to the Ameri- | cans, Senor Marico moved that such a re- | fusal was an infringement of the preroga- | tive of Parliament. All the leaders of the | minority supported Senor Marico, but the motion was defeated by a vote of 125 to 8. —_— BLOOMY OUTLOOK FOR BELEARUERED BRITISH GARRISONS Continued from First Page. of the present war will be excluded for a term of years.

This Is only partly true. | ‘What is the fact on the subject is that, | were there to be serfous reverses to the | British forces—which seems little likely from latest reports—Lord Kitchener, as & | practical fighting man, would be called upon.
