of the rapid pace with which Gen

they actually arrived.
Aguinaldo and his government arc

nation here Is that he is still in the
low country.
Lieut.. Johnston, with troop M, Third
cavalry, captured Wednesday at San
Nicolas 10 barrels containing the ward
robe OF Aguinaldo's wife, some person
al effects, the records Of the secretary
OF war and much commissary and med
ical supplies. Sonora Aguinaldo prob
ably escaped over the divide, but the

INTERFERE WITH TELEGRAPH LINES.
Washington, Nov l1.-Mail advices
received at the war department show
that the Eilinino insurpents have
adopted new method Of interference
with the military telegraph lines.
This is done by attaching fine copper
wire to the line, running it down the
pole or through the foliage Of tree to
the ground where it is attached to a
piece OF iron driven into the earth.
This effectively cuts off communication
md is not easily discovered when once
accomplished.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The culmina-

home coming was reached yesterday in
the shadow of the dome of the national
capitol. Here he received from the
hands of the president the magnificent
jeweled sword voted him by congress in
commemoration of the victoryof Manila
bay. This was the official reason for
the ceremony. But mere official sane
ton could never have thrown into the
demonstration the fervor of enthusiasm
that was meted out to the admiral as he
appeared before the vast audience, COM
posed not only of all the highest off,
Gals in the land, but of spectators
drawn from every quarter of the United
States. The battle of Manila bay was
not forgotten, but it might be said to
have been relegated almost to second
place in the desire to do honor to the

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Admiral Dewey
went to see Secretary Long and talk
over his plans for the immediate future
and as to these Secretary Long promptly
gave notice that the department. was
willing to give him perfect liberty to do
as he pleased. The admiral was, how
ever, at his instance detached formally
from the Olympia. He telegraphed the
executive officer Of the ship at Tomp-
Ensville to haul down his flag, thus
terminating his connection with the
cruiser, which for more than two years
has been his home.
In accordance with projects already
planned the admiral will go to Vermont
Monday as the guest of w. Seward
Webb Of Shelburne farms, near Bur-
Ington. After a reception at the state
capital he will go to Boston to attend
the reception there in his honor Oct. IA.
The Olympia will, meanwhile, have ar
rived at that place for her orders, issued
today, which are to proceed at once
from New York to Boston, to be put
out Of commission and be extensively
repaired.

WARSHIPS TO MANILA.
More Vessels Will Be Sent to

BROOKLYN TO LEAD SQUADRON.

Gunboats Marietta and Machias Included
of Admiral Dewey the President Takes
Energetic Measures.
WASHINGTON, Dot. 5.-The president
has directed the immediate dispatch to
the Philippines of q number Of vessels
OF the navy, including the cruiser Brook
lyn and the gunboats Marietta and
Machias. The action is the result Of
Admiral Dewey's interview yesterday,
in which he went over the Philippine
situation with the president.
The vessels ordered are in line with
the PRESIDENT determination to furnish
the army and1navy every resource for
stamping out the instruction at the
earliest possible date. At Admiral
Dewey's extended interview with the
president, the former went into the
Philippine situation at great length, ex-
planning the exact condition and his
views of the outlook, concluding with
an earnest recommendation that the
Brooklyn and some other vessels be sent
at once to the Philippines. This rein
forcement of the present feet Of the
Asiatic squadron he urged as necessary,
and said their dispatch should be di-
rected as early as possible. The presi-
dent Immediately instructed the tecre-
tary Of the navy to issue IN order car
rying out the admiral's recommends
ton and to see that they be got in read
mess at once. The Marietta and
Machias, besides the Brooklyn, will be
designated by the navy department.,
along with several other vessels which
have not yet been selected.
The Brooklyn is now with the other
vessels of the North Atlantic squadron
off Tompkinsville. The Machias and
the Marietta are at present lying at the
wharves in this city on waiting orders,
having been brought here to participate
in this weeks celebration in honor Of
Admiral Dewey. These reinforce
ments will add considerable strength to
the Asiatic squadron, and the admins
tration believes their presence will have
q material effect in expediting the end
ing Of hostilities. It is not known how
soon these vessels can, be made ready,
but their orders are to get away as
early as psssible and no delay is antici-
pated. Their commanders will report
to the department. when they are ready
to proceed, and on arriving at Manila
will report without delay to the adj
miral commanding the Asiatic station
for orders.
