Brig Gen. Edward B. Williston, the pro-
vost marshal. When Tarlac fell. Buenca-
mino flied northward with Aguinaldo's
three-year-old son and an old lady, sup
posed to be the mother of Aguinaldo's con-
fidential servant, Tomas Maxiarine, and
guard of a hundred soldiers. Reaching the
neighborhood of the coast, November IL,
Buencamino found American soldiers on
every side and escape impossible. So he
sought refuge in little Pangasinan vii
lage, six miles from Manaoag, living in a
mean little hut belonging to natives who
were lukewarm toward the insurrection.
On learning his identity, some refugees
brought the news, November 20, to Col.
Luther R. Hare, commanding the Thirty
third infantry, garrisoning Banaoag.
After communicating with Gen. Wheat
on Maj. D. Cronins battalion surrounded
the village November 81 Buencamino'
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 wo-
man and child and sent Buencamino TO
Manila on the transport Brutus in charge
of Lieut.. Smith, of the Twentieth infant
ry He seemed cheerful and rather glad
that his troubles had eliminated.
On the Brutus arriving at Manila this
morning Lieut. Smith took Buencamino to
the palace. He was only a few minutes IN
Mai Gen. Otis's office. The prisoner told
Gen Otis that he desired peace and mad
for a long time used his influence 1or
peace. Aguinaldo, he added, was retreat
ing north with 1000 men and two cannon.
Gen Otis then summoned Provost Marshal
Williston, who previous to driving away
with Buencamino, received Instructions
to lock him up in comfortable quarters and
allow no person to see him.
Buencamino is the chief author OF the
Filipino constitution and most of the state
documents.

NEW YORK, November 25.-There
was a tin sign to-day on the front door
of the Franklin Syndicate headquar-
tiers at IA Floyd street, Brooklyn,
which read: CLOSED on Saturday"
Various reports were current regard
ing the whereabouts of William F. Mil
Ter, the ostensible head of the syndi-
cate
His brother, Louis H. Miller, who was
arrested last night, was to-day held IN
$1,000 bail.
All day crowd of excited depositors
held forth. The crowd was made UP
largely of women. Some of them had
remained throughout the entire Friday
night, hoping that the young Napoleon
of finance would return with his eX-
traordinary dividends and pay them
their interest or their principal. At
midnight Friday, overcome by excite
ment and her losses, Mrs. A. M. Chen
ey, who is said to have lost the savings
of a lifetime, dropped dead. Several
women tainted, and to-day the police
had much difficulty in keeping back the
surging mobs.

general alarm, as follows:
ARREST for grand larceny William F.
Miller, So years, five feet five inches;
140 pounds; dark moustache; small
side whiSkers; broken nose; mixed gray
suit and overcoat, light alpine hat"
The police also set about to keep an
eye on certain banks and trust compa-
MES where Miller is supposed to have
money. Notwithstanding the fact that
Miller withdrew from Wells, Fargo &
Company's bank more than SlU0,oO0
about Thursday, the police placed de-
tectives in this bank, believing that he
still has money there.
According to Wall street bankers,
nearly all of the country deposltors OF
the syndicate left both principal and
interest in the concern and will lose al
they have invested.
A pile of kilograms six inches hlgh
lay in front of Postmaster Wilson or
Brooklyn to-day. Each one was plea

to hold up a registered letter.
All Miller's Mail has been held up.
He received five hundred ordinary and
fifty registered letters daily on an av-
erage. His money orders varied from
IS 900 to $4,000 daily. Almost every
town in the United States seems rep
resented on the list.
All of the sums sent now in the hands
of the postal authorities will be re-

THE KENTUCKY SITUATION
Continues Mixed and Uneertain-Goebel
May Not Contest.

FRANKFORT, KY, November 25.-
The Democratic leaders now assert that
Goebel will not contest before the leg
islature, if he is not given the certiti1
cate of election by the State election
board. Taylor's managers are dubious
on this point.
Yesterday was the last day upon
which contests could be filed against
the Republican members-elect 10 the
the legislature and the fact that ABOUT
ten contests were filed against members
of the House and three in the Senate
is regarded as an indication that the
Democrats are doing this as a precau-
tionary measure.
Bradley still maintains a guard at
the State arsenal. The State war de-
partment was never SO fully equipped
with shooting material.
