cutting the railroad and telegraph
at Apalit, seven miles north, for the

pectedly VAIN reception and were
repulsed with loss Of IS killed, 30
prisoners and many woundtd.
The rebels force is estimated TO
have been numbered 5000 men.
They advanced stealthily from the
iupele north OF the city and then
divided with TIE evident purpose OF
surrounding the Americans. The
oatposts of the Iowa regiment dis

All Efforts to Eatrap Them Have
Been In Vain.-Not Very Bright
Outlook for the Early Ending of
the War.
NY World.
One of the strongest organs of i'm
perislism publishes this dispatch
from Washington:
The com missioners admit in their
dispatches to the State department,
that all efforts to corral the insur-
gents and capture any considerable
body of them have failed because of
their knowledge of the country, and
their ability to see through the lines
the Americans endeavor to draw
about.
Gen. OTIS in his dispatch to the
war department Sunday says:
Terrific heat yesterday enabled a
majority Of the insurgents to escape
in scattered organizations south and
westward, which they Effected during
the evening and night.
And the Associated Press dispatch
from Manila says:
The Insurgents have again proved
their facility as dodgers, between
5000 and 1000 warriors who seemed
destined TO be captured having dis
appeared, the msjority sliding away
under cover of the night, after fight
ing the Americans all day. Some
others came TO meet our troops with
protestations of friendship.
These presentments, all official, fix
attention directly upon most i'm
poltant factor in the Philippine cam
paign. Although our troops have
been routing the Filipinos almost
every day for 127 days, they have
succeeded in making prisoners OF
only such F,lip;nos as were too des-
perately wounded to escape.
Putting aside the considerations OF
climate upon which General Otis
touches, there still remains this group
of facts: The Filipino fights until
be is in danger Of capture. If he
cannot escape he hides his gun and
pretends to be a non-combatant
And there is no way Of proving that
be is not telling the truth, because
the whole country is filed with ner
of his race, some of whom are fight
ing and some of whom are peaceful
but all Of whom are united by race
ties. L: is therefore impossible t.
isolate the insurgents and admlnlste
crushing defeat.

thereupon turned and fled into the
Jungle. Our loss was II men
wounded, and the majority of them
are only slightly hurt.
A Spanish officer who has been a
prisoner in the hands OF the rebels,
and who was released by Aguinaldo,
has come through our lines to Manila
He claims to have been witness CT
the assassination Of Gen. Luna.
According to his story, the rela-
tons between the two Filipino lead
ers had been strained to the breaking
point because Of Lura's attempts to
assume control of affairs, and the
final rupture was forced by Asainal-
90 issuing secret orders to the prov
incial governments.
Luna thereupon notified Aguinal-
do, demanding copies of the dccu-
ments, and Aguinaldo replied curly
that Luna was a general OF the army
and that the civil government did
not concern him. Luna, on opening
the reply at his headquarters, IN the
presence of his officers, exclaimed
holy: He will be dead tomorrow.
One officer, who was friendly to
Aguiraldo hastened to warn him,
and Aguinaldo called together 20
trusted soldiers, fellow townsmen OF
his, and stationed them around lis
house with instructions to kill any.
one attempting to enter, regardless
of rank.
Luna appeared the next day and
saw Aguinaldo at the window. A
member of the guard said: "Agui-
naldo has gone to inspect troops y
Luna then exclaimed, You are a
liar" drew his revolver, struck the
guard and tried to force an entrance
into the house: Before he could use
his revolver one of the guards bayo-
netted him, another shot him in the
back and others stabbed him. Iu
all he had 20 wounds. Luna's aide
decamp was killed in the same way.
The Spaniard's story has rot en-
tirely dispelled the doubts of Lana's
death, ard bets that be his is still alive
are frequently made at the clubs.
Some people think Aguinsldo has
taken pains to send the Sraniards
here with his story for the further
ance Of some diplomatic scheme,
while others suspect Aguinaldo has
been assassinated by Luna's men.
Since the Americans withdrew
from Candaba recently the rebels
have returned and have wreaked
upon those who befriended the Amer
leans. They slaughtered the natives
who surrendered the town, and dis
played their heads on poles and IL
the public square.
The hostile natives Of Cebu are
more menacing. Mail advices say
hostilities against the Americans
have begun there. Col. Hamer, the
American commander, has asked fol
re- endorsements, and four companies
cf the Tennessee regiment have been
sent to him from Iloilo. The Ne
braska regiment has been ordered to
sail for home early next week.

Public Receptions and Welcomes Too
Much of Tax.
WASHINGTON, Oct. %. - Admiral
Dewey, on the advice of his physician,
has cancelled the dates for his visits to
Philadelphia and to Atlanta and will
accept no more invitations Of this sort
before next spring. The following
statement on the suject was made at
bis office here:
"Acting on the advice Of his physi-
clans, Admiral Dewey finds that 1t will
be necessary 70 cancel the engagements
he has entered into to visit certain cities
and to decline sall% Invitations fof the
present. He finds, that the mental,
strain incident to such visits is &C.
riously affecting his health"
1t was said by one of Admiral Dewey's
friends that this Is not to be taken as
an indication of any alarming change
in the admiral's health, but that to a
man Of his temperament the excitement
and mental strain incident to the va
rious public functions in which he has
been u participant, have proved un-
usually trying. He will remain as
quiet as possible for the balance of the
winter. and it is hoped by next spring
that he will be able to take short trip
south and visit some Of the places
whose inhabitants have been SO anxious
to welcome him.
