1t is said at the war department that

General Wheaton will push on to the

HOPE TO CATCH AGUINALDo.
Americans Believe lie Is Trying 10 Es-
cape From Iuzon

Washington, Nov 12-Great inter-
est is felt in the war department over
Aguinaldo's sudden change of base
northeastward from Tarlac to Bavom-
bong, about seyenty-fivc miles distant.
There are numerous spellings of the
latter place, but the foregoing is the
one generally adhered to on the maos
in possession of the war department.
The most interesting feature Of the
new situation is that Aguinaldo has
been forced out of the Tagalo country
into region to the north where the
Jagalo is not spoken and where the
mountains and valleys are flied with
Wegritos and other savage tribes who
are hostile to the ragalos This is
about the most mountainous and mae
cessible cart of the island,
1t is on the headwaters Of he Mogot
that Aguinaldo is now located The
way is open for him down the long
stretch of the river to Aparri at the
mouth of the Cayugau where it flows
into the sea This is one of the wild
est but richest valleys in the island.
1t is believed the river Cayugan is nav
igable for our tinclad boats $50 miles
from its mouth and for canoes much
further.
II is expected as soon as Aguinaldo
shows any disposition to move down
the valley toward the China sea that
warships and gunboats will be sent
round the northern end Of the island
to meet him and cut of his escape.
If it is his intention to escape from
Luzon he would naturally seek Aparri
or some northern port but the country
around Carabello mountain is such
that he could probably stand of the
whole American force in a game Of
hideand-seek in the hills for the great
