Buencamino, the brains of the Filipino
insurrection, is locked up here in charge
of Brig. Gen. Edward B. Williston, the
provost marshal
When Tarlac fell Buencamina fed
northward with Aguinaldo's S-year-
old son and an old lady, supposed to
be the mother of Agunaldo's confidential
servant Tomas Maxarine and a guard of
100 soldiers. Reaching the neighborhood
of the coast, Nov. 13, Buencamino found
American soldiers on every side and es-
cape impossible. So he sought refuge in a
little Pangaainan village six miles from
Manaoag, living in a mean little hut be-
longing to natives, who were lukewarm
towards the insurrection.
On learning his identity, some refugees
brought the news, Nov. 20, to Col. Luther
r. Hare commanding the Thirty-third In
fantry, garrisonlng Manaoag. After COM
municating with Gen. Wheaton, Maj Mar
Gus D. Cronins battalion surrounded the
village Nov. 81. Buencamino's guard had
hidden their rifles and uniforms and Buen-
camino surrendered without resistance.

gold

Gen Otis that he desired peace and had
for a long time used his influence for
peace. Aguina1do, he added, was retreating
north with 1900 men and two cannon. Cen.
Otis then summoned General Provost Mar
shall Wlflis,on, who, previous to driving
away with Buencamino, received instruc-
tions TO lock him up in comfortable quar-
ters and allow no person to see him.
Buencamino is the chief author of the
Filipino constitution and most of the state
documents
