Keeping.
THE MAIN GUY IN HIDING
The Army Of Aguinaldo Scattered And
Converted Into Robbers and Pretend
ed Amigos Small Bands To Be
Rounded Up.

Washington, November 24.-General
Otis cabled to-day: "The claim to hav-
ing a government by the insurgents can
be made no longer under any fiction. Its
treasurer, secretary of the interior and
president of the congress are in our
hands. It's president and the remaining
cabinet officers are in hiding, evidently
in different central Luzon provinces. Its
general and troops are in small bands
scattered through these provinces, act
ing as banditti or dispersed and playing
the role of amigos" with their arms
concealed. The indications are that
Aguinaldo did not escape through the
lines of Lawton or Wheaton, but fled
westward from Bayombong railway
station. Telegraphic communication to
Dagupan will be established probably
to San Fabian to-day. By relaying nine
miles of track with material at hand
railway communication to that point
will be re- established"
Another dispatch from Otis gives the
results of the fighting at Iloilo as fol-
lows: Hughes, Iloilo, reports the ene-
my driven back into the mountains, and
the insurgents capital at Cobatuan
captured. The only serious action was
that of Carpenter at Pavia. The total
casualties are five killed or since died of
wounds and twenty-seven wounded.
The enemy's casualties are not stated
Manila, Nov. 24-Bautista, president

arms everywhere as soon as they learn
the truth.

London, November 24-The victory
of Methuen's advancing column over
the Beers at Belmont caused as much
anxiety as rejoicing. The Beers must
have been in decided minority, yet the
total British loss of 220 killed, wounded
and missing proves the effectiveness OF
their resistance. The fact that no guns
and only forty prisoners were captured
by the victors, and that the Beers car
ried off the dead and wounded, shows
that they retired in an orderly manner,
and probably the Boer casualties were
not numerous. The road Is now presu-
mably open to the Boer position on the
Modder river.
Cape Town, November 24.-Late ar
rivals from Pretoria estimate the Boer
casualties so far as 1000 men, half of
whom were killed. They say the race
course there is being prepared for a
laager for prisoners. A Maxim Is placed
at the gate Of the racecourse. From
President Kruger down every one is in
favor Of fighting. They believe they
will succeed in annexng all beleaguered
towns. The flag Of the united republic
is now ready, and bears the Orange
cross. The Beers expect the war to last
from four to six months when they will
possess South Africa. Commandant AL
brecht and Lieutenant Elo have started
with a command of followers to capture
Buluwayo.
Mooi River, Natal November 24.-The
Beers have only sent an occasional shell
into the British camp since this morn
ing. The range Of the British guns is
not sufficient to be effective. An official
native runner corroborates the report
that heavy firing occurred at Estcourt.
Cape Town, November 24.-From ac-
counts received of General Methuen's
fight with the Beers it appears that the
Beers from Fincham's farm shelled the
advance body of the British November
%. British artillery shelled hill which
the British subsequently occupied The
Boer main column left Fincham's farm
during the afternoon and camped five
miles ahead. Thursday the Beers fired
from the hills 1000 yards distant on the
British advance force. Other troops
pushed up. The engagement became
general. The British artillery silenced
the Boer guns. Crossing the fire zone
amidst a storm Of lead the Grenadier
guards and Northumberland pushed
up the incline and reached the summit,
doing great execution with bayonet
and capturing the laager with guns,
equipment, prisoners, cattle and sheep.
The 9th Lancers and mounted infantry
pursued. The Beers, 1t Is estimated,
numbered $500 men. Their loss Is un-
known.
