PARAGUA FLIES OUR FLAG.
The concentration of insurgents In
the province Of Cavite will probably
necessitate another short campaign
there. Besides the work in Panay, this
campaign in Cavite Is about the only
military operation on scale of conse-
Quence that Is to be accomplished. Gen.
eral Bates, who is making a tour Of
the southern islands, reported that he
had an interview with the Sultan of
Paragua, and that satisfactory rela-
tons were established with that ruler.
The American flag is now flying over
the Island Of Paragua.
NEWS FROM THE FRONT.
MANILA, Nov. 24.-MacArthur re-
ports the capture by an outpost Of
Captain Lawrence, an Englishman,
who brought Lieutenant Lacson from
Hongkong to Dagupan. The prisoner
admits that he was serving with the
insurgents, and says that he COM
manded the rebel artillery in seve al
OF the engagements with the American
forces.
No other reports than those already
cabled have been received from Gen.
erals Lawton, Wheaton and Young.
They are still pushing toward San
Fernando de la Union. Macarthur is
accommodating toward Zambales. Gen:
eral Halls command is engaged In re-
pairing the railroad to Dagupan. The
Signal Corps will probably have the
wire working between Dagupan and
San Fabian tomorrow. The increasing
number of Spanish prisoners escaping
from the insurgents is evidence OF the
decentralization existing among the
rebels. 1t seems as II practically all
the prisoners would soon be released.
AGUINALDo CoRNERED.
MANILA, Nov. 24.-It now appears
that Aguinaldo is to the south and
west OF Lawton and Wheaton, and to
the north and west of Macarthur. A
Gordon Of troops Is on one side OF him,
the east; while the Gulf OF Lingayen
is on the north and the open sea on
the west and south.
RUMORs OF ESCAPE.
HONGKONG, Nov. 24.-Aguinaldo
has found means of escaping from the
Philippines. 1t is feared he has al
ready done SO. General Otis unwit-
tingly aided the escape of the man
whom 10000 American troops are try
ing to catch.
Captain Lawrence, an Englishman,
was engaged by Aguinaldo, through
President Lacson Of Negroes. to buy q
launch here. Lacson's brother and Pc
dro Regelado, a well-known Iloilo man,
came to Hongkong. They actually bore
letters from General Otis to Wildman,
the United States Consul here.
They bought q launch, named It Lac
son, cleared 1t at the United States
Consulate as bound for Toro. proceed
ed to the Lingayen gulf and turned
over the launch to Aguinaldo's men.
Afterward they gave out that "insurg-
ents had captured the launch"
1t has since been learned that Law
renee Is colonel In the insurgent ar
my and that he has been retained to
command the launch, which Is held In
readiness to carry Aguinaldo to safety.
Several insurgent generals have al
ready been seen in Hongkong. They
must have escaped, disguised, through
the American lines, for they came from
Manila on regular trading steamers.

They Do Not Own Him.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The tenn
pest stirred up by Admiral Dewey's
gift of his new house to his wife was
not abated by her transfer of the gift
to the Admirals son. The criticisms
are SO severe and were so quickly fol-
lowed by the announcement from New
York that the permanent memorial
arch will not be erected In honor of
Dewey but of the Navy. that the Ad-
miral was goaded into making the fol-
lowing public statement:
When made over this house to my
wife thought was doing the most
gracious act that an American gentle
man could do. thought the people
had given me this house for me to dis
pose of as I chose. It seems that ]
