Manila, Nov. 25, 1:25 p. m.--Buen-

Buencamino fled northward with
Agufnaldo's three-year-old son and an
old lady, supposed to be the mother Of
Aguinaldo's confidential servant
Tomas Maxarine. and a guard of 100
soldiers. 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 village,
six miles from Manaog, living in a
mean little but belonging to natives,
who were lukewarm towards the in
surrection.
Refugees Betrayed Him.
On learning his identity, some ref

village, November 81. Buencamino's
guard had hidden their rifles and uni
forms and Buencamino surrendered
without resistance. He had only few
clothes and $4,000 in gold.
Forward to Manila.
Gen. Wheaton kept the woman and
child and sent Buencamino to Manila
on the transport Brutus in charge of
Lieut.. Smith, of the Twentieth infan-
try. He seemed cheerful and rather
glad that his troubles had eliminated.
On the Brutus arriving at Manila this
morning, Lieut.. Smith took Buen-
camino to the palace. He was only
few minutes in Gen. Otis Office. The
prisoner told Gen. Otis that he desired
peace, and had for a long time used
his influence for peace.
AguinaIdO RetratinE North.
Aguinaldo, he added. was retreating
north with 1000 men and two cannon.
Gen. Otis then summoned Provost
Marshal Williston, who previous to
driving away with Buencamino re-
ceived instructions to lock him up in
comfortable quarters and allow no per-
son to see him.
Buencamino is the chief author of
the Filipino constitution and most of

REAL BRITISH VICTORY.
Gen. Lord Methuen Can Claim the
Honor of the First British
Victory of the War.
FOUGHT AND DIDN'T HAVE TO FALL BACK.
The Beers, However, Are Offering q
Stubborn Resistance to His Adj
vance-Belie~ed to be Pushing
Forward After the Fight at Gras.
PAN ON Saturday.

London, Nov. 2S.-To Gen. Methuen,
it appears belongs the honor of the
first real British victory of the pres
ent war, as Belmont was the first bat
tie after which the British advanced
instead of retreating. The fact that
Gen. Methuen was forced to fight
second pitched battle near the scene OF
the first shows the Beers were not de-
moralized at Belmont, but quickly raj
lied and, with unabated courage met
the splendid assault of the British
naval brigade at Gras Pan. The ex-
cellent military qualities displayed by
the Beers in these two fights were no
doubt partially derived from the
training of commandant Albrecht, a
former officer of the Austrian army.
Fifty Miles From Kimberley.
Presumably Gen. Methuen has al
ready resumed his march northward.
He was, when last heard from, still
nearly fifty miles from Kimberley, and
doubtless an action will have to be
fought at Modder River before "Dia-
mondopolis'' is relieved. There is
some doubt as to what is meant in the
statement that the Beers are falling
back on Warrenton, which is so miles
north of Kimberley, unless the dis
patches was intended to fall into Brit
ish hal.ds in the hope of misleading
Gen. Metheun. The latter, however,
is said to be far too cautious to be,
caught by such a trick, and. it is said,,
it can be confidently anticipated that
his column will sweep steadily for
ward in spite of the determined resist
ence he will meet with.
Misuse of the White Flag.
The conclusion must be accepted,
however, reluctantly that the Beers
are deliberate in their misuse of white.
flags.
On top of Gen. Methuen's warming,
and other evidence, comes the state
ment of Correspondent Knight, who
has arrived at Cape Town, wounded.
He says he accompanied detachment
of the Northampton regiment when a
force of Beers, 300 yards distant and
surrounded, displayed a white flag.
The officer commanding the Northamp-
tons then ordered his men to rise,
when the Beers deliberately volleyed,
wounding Knight and others.
