Manila, Nov. 7.-Buencamino, the
brains of the Filipino insurrection, is
locked up here in charge of Brig. Gen.
Edward b. Williston, the provost mar
shall. When Tarlac fell Buencamino |
fled northward with Aguinaldo's three
year-old son and an old lady, supposed |
to be the mother of Aguinaldo's conf
Dental servant, Thomas Maxarine, and |
a guard of 100 soldiers. Reaching the
neighborhood of the coast November
13, Buencainino found American SOL
diers on every side and escape impossi-
BILE. So he sought refuge in little
Pangasinan village, six miles from
Manoag, living in mean little hut
belonging to natives, who were luke
warm towards the insurrection.
On learning his identity, some refu-
gees brought the news on November 90
to Col. Luther R. Hare, commanding
the Thirty-third infantry, garrisoning
Manoag. After communicating with
Gen. Wheaton, Maj. Marus D. Cronin's
battalion surrounded the village No
vember 81. Buencamino's guard had
hidden their rifles and uniforms, and
Buencamino surrendered without re-
sistance. He had only few clothes
and 81, 900 in gold.
Gen. Wheaton kept the woman and
child and sent Buencamino to Manila
on the transport Brutus, in charge Of
Lieut.. Smith, of the Twentieth in
fantry. He seemed cheerful and rather
glad that his troubles had eliminated.
On the Brutus arriving at Manila
Lieut.. Smith took Buencamino TO the
palace. He was only few minutes In
-ssuE-uz-----u.aa--s-
Gen. Otis that he desired peace and
had for long time used his influence
for peace.
Aguinaldo, he added, was retreating
north with 1000 men and two cannon.
Gen. Otis then summoned Provost Mar
shal Williston, who previous to driving
away with Buencamino received In
structions to lock him up In comforta-
BILE quarters and allow no person to
see him. Buencamino is the chief au-
thor of the Filipino constitution and
most OF the state documents.

Col. Bell, of the Thirty-fourth volun'
teers, arrived at Mangalaren last even
ing after hard march and fording the
Ago. He found that Fowler's company
of the Thirty-third had occupied the
town for two days. The insurgents
Gen. Alejandrino commanding, retreat
ed to the mountains behind the town
short of food and ammunition. Besid,
this his men were deserting, and sil
cannon, which the insurgents wer'
dragging, impeded their march.

! pinos until he can bring about de
cislve fight or they are scattered. Man
