But It Is Doubtful If They Can
Capture AguinaldO and the
Remnant of His Army
ENCOUNTERED THE ENEMY
Major Dickman'S Force Had a Fight
Near JarO and Defeated the Rebels
Hardly Possible to Prevent the
Rebels Reaching Bay0mbOng.

Washington, Nov 22.-General Otis to-
day gables the war department as fol-
lows:
Manila. Nov. 22.-A dispatch of the
21st from Lawton at Tayug reports
Young with cavalry and Macabbee
scouts at Aaringay. He will advance
north to Baoan, near San Fernando.
about to move on the trail east to Trini-
dad. Young reports a considerable in
surgent force moving in that direction;
that Aguinaldo, in charge. is seeking to
cross over to Bayombong. Portions of
Lawtons troops are now being pushed
through to Tayug with rations A bat
talon Of the Twenty fourth will join
LaWton tomorrow. Nothing from
Wheaton for several days Macarthur
is operating west of the railroad and
north of Tarlann. The wire from Tar
lam north is working. Troops on the
enti.a 4 railroad line are rationed without
difficulty. Iloilo reports seven COM
panies of the Sixth and Twenty sixth
volunteers, under Dickman, struck the
insurgents northeast of Jaro. The cas-
ualtes We're six wounded. The enemy
left on the field IS killed. Dickman cap
tured seven prisoners, four one-pound
brass field pieces and several thousand
rounds of ammunition. The Eighteenth
infantry yesterday drove the insurgents
north on Santa Barbara. Hughes. with
his column is north and west of Santa
Barbara. Reports of results are not yet
received
The dispatch from Otis does not yet
make it appear that the efforts to CAP
ture Aguinaldo and the larger portion of
his army will be successful. The nten-
ton of Young to prevent Aguinaldo
reaching Bayombong seems evident, but
this seems scarcely probable now.

Working Against Roberts.

Peoria. ILL.,, Nov. 22.-Congressman
Joseph V. Graft of the Fourteenth dis
trict. says:
1.-The question of the religious belief
of Representative Roberts is not i'm
pOrtant, and his morals themselves
might not be matter of Importance
bearing upon the question of his eXpul-
sion from the house of representatives.
Mr.. Roberts in the beginning of the dis
cussion of his polygamous practices not
only admitted that he was a pclygamist,
but boasted of that fact and seemed to
think that his taking this position openly
and afterwards retaining his seat would
be interpreted as an Acknowledgement
by the people of the country of giving
pOlygamy some degree of recognition
Accepting this as true. the country has
concluded to take issue with Mr.. Rob-
erts upon his position. Therefore, the
retaining of Mr.. Roberts in his seat in
congress involves an issue upon the sub
ject of polygamy. I shall vote to unseat
Roberts, and use every effort in that di-
rection. The purity of the home is the
foundation of the state. and therefore
no question which is likely to come be-
fore congress goes deeper into our well
fare than this. l believe 1t will not be
a partisan question. and the necessary
two-thirds will be found voting in favor

AguinaldO'S Retreat.

New York. Nov. pa special to the
Herald from Manila says: The opinion
of many military men and of resident
foreigners is that Aguinaldo has prob
ably escaped by changing the seat of war
into the northern part of the island.
They think he has taken a considerable
army with him. This, if true, will ne
cessitate a new series of operations on
temporary strategic advantage. Those
holding this view point out the fact that
the insurgents never intended to hold the
alleged capital at Tarlac as permanent
capital, as it was slightly fortified. They
also claim that the railroad being left
intact while much rolling stock was
burned and destroyed indicates that a
rapid retreat was made several weeks
back. This retreat must have been ac-
co:nplished at the time Lawton began
his san IsidrO movement. Therefore
the insurgents have had time to move out
their principal supplies and munitions.
Ii is a fact that our circle Of troops
has been closed up so far without ma
terial resistance, except in the region Of
escape to the north near Wheaton's COL
umn. The captured supplies have prov
ed insignificant compared with those that
would be required Aguinaldos sup
posed army in this region was from 15,-

The opinions Of General Otis and Cen
eral Schwan differ somewhat from these
views. They say they do not know
whether or not AguinaldO. with his army.
has escaped into the Tobacco valley to
the north. If so they doubt whether
h has escaped with any considerable
force. They believe that Aguinaldo
himself has gone. They also believe
aha. a considerable portion of the nsur-
gent force is scattered in small bands
within our lines as Amigos. Generals
Dtis ard Schwan think that, within "a
hours We VII control the Manla-Dasu-
nan valley. The occupation of this ter
:ritnry is now more Of a mechanical than
a military problem. General Otis says
that the railroad repairs will be rushed
and the railroad will be operated
throughout in short time The general
opinion here is that We have gained tre-

The British Advance.

New York Nov. GA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The war

and cleared the ground by Il selet an
derstanding with the German emperor.
has reached the transition stage between
Dutch attack thWarted by the success
full defense of Ladysmith, Mafeking and
Kimberley and British offensive opera
tions, now opening on large scale.
There was a renewal yesterday of
elastic rumors of a disastrous repulse of
the Beers at Ladysmth on Wednesday,
but these have been deprecated in ad-
vance by definite news that General
Whites army had remained inactive so
late as Friday. There We're vague re-
ports that Joubert's force had raised the
siege, gone south and cut off Estcourr
from the sea, but this lacked confrma-
ton. The siege of Ladysmith had evil
IDENTIFY failed, but the resources of Boer
craft had not been exhausted. and beth
White and Clery needed to be on their
guard against being entrapped at the
last moment, when the union of their
forces only required caution and pa
tience.
This was the undertone of talk at the
war office and among the military staff.
and the hope was expressed that White
would remain quiet and Clery would
not allow himself to be hurried. While
the facts of the military situation in
lower Natal are carefully concealed, it
is plain that Clery will have in the
course of a few days a force of 1900 or
$4,000 troops. including the naval brigade
and the battalions which were on the
ground before reinforcements began to
arrive at Durham. These will include
three brigades of the First. Second and
Third divisions and the Second Somerset

ADVANCE OF THE BRITISH

London, Nov 22.-Theye has apparent
since noon Tuesday and the Beers con-
troll the railroad to the Mooi river. Con-
sequently momentous developments may
be expected any time.
The Beers, it seems, are swarming
southwark. Large bodies are reported all
around Estcourt and parties appear to
be threatening Pietermaritzburg. The
Beers encamped at Highlands station
are well supplied with artillery and all
evidences tend to show that various Boer
forces are being largely increased by ac-
cessions from disaffected cape burghers.
The serious deficiency in cavalry is
being felt by the British, who are unable
to keep in@touch with the mobile Boer
forces whose presence is hardly reported
before they are lost sight of only to re-
appear at any vital point along the line
of communication.
General Hildyards force, anchored at
Estcourt by the naval guard, cannot
make an attack until General Cleary's
force is capable to take the field.
According to Capetown dispatch Gen.
and reached Witteputs, half way to
Bellemont, yesterday and advces from
the Orange river today show that the
Beers occupy Bellemont in force and that
neighboring hills are crowned with Boer
cannon.
A patrol of Lancers which has returned
to the Orange river came unexpectedly
ON two Boer laagers. Three shrapnel
shells burst close to the Lancers, who,
however, We're unharmed.
The British transport Kildonan Castle,
said to be the largest transport in the
world which left Southampton Nov. 4
with 5000 men, their kits weapons, ma
chine guns, ammunition. balloons, pom
| toons, wagons, etc, arrived at Capetown
this morning. About $4,000 of Buffers
army corps have now arrived. The trans
port Nuba with the first battalion of
Scots guards has sailed from Capetown
for Durham. The transport Carinthia ar
rived at Capetown yesterday.

Richardson Is Leader.

New York, Nov. PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
selection of Representative James ID.
Richardson as the leader of the minority
in the next house of representatives seems
assured. careful canvass presents the
situation thus: James ID. Richardson, 62:
John II. Bankhead, %: d. a. Dearmond,
80 William Sulzer, 1S: total vote pledged,
1873: total vote unpledged, 26. Should the
straight democrats caucus by themselves.
81 votes will be sufficient to nomina tc,
but should the pOpulists. free silveritcs
and fusionists enter the caucus, which
seems unlikely. it will require 81 votes
to nominate. Representative SulZer of
New York is given the entire democratic
delegation from that state on the first
ballot, after which the delegation is to go
to Representative Richardson. This.
with the 81 pledged votes, will give him
within one of a majority of the straight
democrats and ii is insisted by his friends
that after the first ballot many of those
who will support Representatives Bank
head will go to Richardson. thus insuring
his nomination. Representative Richard
son has arrived in Washington and after
democratic colleagues declared that he
was we'll satisfied with the outlook for his
nOmina tiOn.

Negotiations Delayed.

New York, Nov. pa special to the
Herald from Washington says: In con-
sequence of the bereavement suffered by
Lord Salisbury, the settlement of several
diplomatic matters pending between the
United States and Great Britain is ex-
pected to be delayed. Among these are
the Chinese and Samoan questions. Great
Britain's attitude with respect to the re-
quest of Secretary Hay for written as
surance looking to the preservation Of
American commercial rights in her
spheres of influence in China seems to
have been finally settled to the satisfac-
ton of the officials who have received
oral assurances of the intentions of the
London government to reply favorably to
Ambassador Choates note, but it is not
believed that the answer will be SUBJ
mitted until three weeks. The several
powers approached have undoubtedly
been exchanging notes representing the
character of their replies and it is stated
by diplomatists here that If one would
take the lead the others would quickly
follow. For this reason Great Britains S
apparent hestancy has caused con-
siderable talk in diplomatic circles here.
1t was reported this morning that China
had conceded the claim of France to the
possession Of two islands which COM
mand the entrance to Kwang Chao Wan
bay. No information to confirm this re-
port has yet been received at the state
department. but officials say if this report
is true 1t is another indication of the
gradual encroachment of the powers
upon Chinese territory. In order that
it may defend its commercial rights in
China they say the government should
have written assurances from the pow
ers occupying territory that they will be
respected. Secretary Hay has made 1t
plain to the powers that the United
States has no intention of seizing Chin
esc territory but he proposes to insist
that American trade rights shall not be
disturbed by the acquisition or extension
of spheres of influence in China.

A Russian Scandal.

Berlin. Nov. 22.-The Deutsch Zeitung

from st. Petersburg:
''The cZar has instructed Minister of
Justice Murayieff to investigate the ale
cations that NJ. Dewltte, presumably
the minister of finance) has been manip-
ulating the bourse to his personal advan-
tage. NJ. Dewitt has made an inef-
fectual attempt at suicide. His wife re-
quested an audience with the czar, but
her request was rejected. Several high
financiers and officials are said to be i'm
plicated. Nothing is known in Berlin re-
garding the statements made in the

A Sweeping Proposition.

New York. Nov. Ex-Governor Roose-
Welt and Senator Platt had conference
to-day on the proposed state constabu-
larry bill by which control of police in
cities of the first and second classes is
to be vested in commission appointed
by the governor. After the conference
it was reported the governor agreed to
sign the measure if it passed the legis-
lature by good majority. Should the
proposed bill become law it would take
from the municipal authorities and give
to the state government full control of
the police forces of New York, Rochester,
Troy, Albany and Syracuse.

light infantry, which left Capetown yes
terday. Both Clery and Hildyard have
been connected with the staff college
ticians of the British army. They have
been great favorites with Lord Wolse-
ley, and understand the minutest details
of the military tactics and strategy as
taught in the technical schools.
While the campaign in Natal is
wrapped in mystery and darkness, so
much light is thrown on the movement
toward Kimberley that some leading
military writer's decline to believe that
it will come on, as freely advertised.
General Methuen has three brigades,
including the guards. regiments of in
fantry, several batteries and apparently
the Highland brigade will join him.
There will be body of nearly $4,000 men.
Skeptics assert that the censor would
not allow the press dispatches to go
through if Kimberley We're the real des-
tination of the column. and expect that
it will occupy both banks Of the Orange
river and draw off the Dutch troops from
Cape Colony.

that the advance guard has gone too
far to support that theory and that
Kimberley may be in greater straits
than the public supposes. and that Cen
eral Butler knows that the relief column
must march speedily.
General Gatacre is evidently expected
to play an important part in the ad-
vance upon Blomfontein from East Lon
don in connection with Methuens opera
tiOns but his force is now small. Three
divisions have been completely recast
without regard to red tape.
Naval officers are annoyed by criti-
cisms of the admiralty for arranging sea
transports by slow ships. and are re-
torting that the situation has been saved
by the navys guns. They contend that
the war Office was ignorant of the artil-
lery resources of the Beers and allowed
Ladysmith to be selected as Il camp
without providing guns equal in range
! to those mounted against it on the out
lying hills. but that the effect of this
blunder was counteracted by the naval
12-pOunders sent from the ships in the
nick of time. This cannot be denied, nor
can it be questioned that the naval guns
on improvised carriages have trans
formed the situation at EstcOurt and on
Orange river.
"A pOlHl WnlcH EnSllSnnen not con-
nected with the rival services perceive
is that the resources of the British gov
ernment for carrying on a war at a long
distance inland are enormously in
creased by the active corporation of the
army and navy, as in the present cam
paign. The blue jackets now on exhi-
bition at Ladysmith, Estcourt and the
Orange river are like the Sepoys dis
played at Malta by Lord Beaconsfield as
a practical reminder to Russia that there
was more than one way of fighting a big
campaign.

mendous advantage over the insurgents.
1t is impossible to say how large a force
Aguinado has been able to hold together
or whether, after the losses of the rail-
road. the people in the north will still
support him. This whole movement has
shown the advantage of cavalry for ex-
pedtious operations in the Philippines.
1t is believed here that Aguinaldo's re-
treat to the north in no way effects the
confronting forces south of Manila.
