LIKE A CARD HOUSE
THE FILIPINO REPUBLIC FAST
CRUMBLING AWAY.
ACUiNALDOB BEING DESERTED
Ruling Spirit of His Cabinet a Prisoner
at Manila-Promlnen Insurrection-
lists Coming In and Asking for Lux
uries of Observation-Disclosures
Leader in the Mountains.

Manila Nov 90 News which the
steamship Brutus brings from Dagu-
pan dispels all doubts that the So
called Filipino republic is crumbling
like house of cards. Aguinaldo is de-
serted or being abandoned by politi-
clans, and the army which a fortnight
ago was entrenched in Tarlac and ex-
ercised de facto government over
nine tenths of the people of LuZon, Is
fugitive in the mountains, with small
hope of re-establishing the machine.
The army is scattered in the hills on
both sides of the railroad which Cen
erals Lawton and Wheaton have CO.
mentCd The ruling spirit of the cab
met is prisoner in Manila, being a
white elephant on the hands of the au-
thorities, and the small fry are all tumb-
ling over one another to get to Manila.
Three provincial governors have ar
rived in Manila to request General
Otis TO install them in their old offices
under the new rule. DR.. Luna, brother
OF Gen Luna, a prominent insurrec-
ZIONIST has arrived here and
many others are applying to
Gen. Otis for permission to
enjoy the Injuries of Manila after
months of separation from civilization
There are no demonstrations over the
victory here. Flags are flying at half
mast out of respect for Vice President
Hobart The natives appear to be UNI
moved and business is unrunled The
only large organized forces of insur-
gents known to remain are those in
Cayite province at San Mateo and IN
the Iambeles mountains, though sew
eral seaports have large garrsons
Aguinaldo began to retreat with 1900
men under Gen. Gregoro Del Pillar
That force was probably reduced to Its
present proportions by desertion. The
last definite news as to Aguinaldo' s
whereabouts is that he passed through
Trinidad, east of Aringay, toward Bay
ombong, escorted by 200 men OF tae
Bulacan battalion who had dwindled
from 600 within a week. Gen. Mimic
is supposed to have joined him. A let
ter from Gen. Mimic has been inter
cepted in which the writer says 200 oi
his men We're killed or wounded and
that he had enough and was going tC
the mountains.

NEW EVIDENCE REGARDING DE-
STRUCTION OF MAINE.
GUNCOTTON FROM SPAIN
Government Officials Find That Two
Torpedoes Were Anchored Near the
Vessel and Were Exploded by Com
ing in Contact With the keel-More
Evidence May Be Found.

New York, Nov. 26.-Ihe World to-
day will publish letter from Havana
stating that United States officials after
months of secret investigation have
discovered that the battleship Maine
was blown up by guncotton torpedoes
planted in the bay for the purpose.
The guncotton, 700 pounds of which
was used, was sent from Barcelona TO
Admiral Manterola, commanding the
port at Havana and was either stolen
from the magazine where the stuff was
stored, or was taken away with the
knowledge of the officials in charge.
Admiral Manterola's records will I'M
doubtedly show the names of his sub
ordinates who had control of the ex-
plosiyes and in that way the identity
of the authors and executioners of the
plot to destroy the Maine may be dis
covered Two or three men were en-
gagged in the destruction of the Maine.
A steam launch of Spanish make, now
used by the United States government
in Havana harbor, conveyed two tor
pedoes, according to new evidence, to a
point within few feet of the berth #
the Maine and anchored them. The
torpedoes were kept in position by
means of buoys floated eleven feet un-
der water ten feet above anchors used
to prevent them from being swept
away. The torpedoes were exploded
by contact with the keel of the Maine
as she swung at anchor.
