WASHINGTON, November 28.-
Aguinaldo's forces have resolved them
selves into bands of guerillas. The
American forces are pursuing them
persistently. The Filipino government
has been broken up. Several members
of his cabinet have been captured,
among them Buencamino, the Secre-
tary of State, and called the brains of
the insurrection." A four year old child
of Aguinaldo has been captured. Seven
Americans and "a Spaniards held as
prisoners by the Filipinos have been
rescued. The entire province of Fam
boanza, Island of Mindanao, has sur
rendered to Commander Very of the
Navy.
MANILA, November 29.-General
Young, with three troops of Third Cav

bebes, commanded by Lieutenants
Hall, Quinlan and Blount, arrived at
Namacpacan from San Fernandino de
Union on Thursday, November 23
There they received news of Aguinaldo,
from which it appears that he went
north through Namacpacan on Tues
day, November 81, while General Young
was waiting at San Fernandino, twenty
miles south.
The rebel chief is now believed to be
hiding in Abra province.
When Aguinaldo passed through Ma
macpacan all his talk was in favor of
continuing the war.

The Boston Lyric Company gave a
splendid rendering of "Cavalleria Rus

music lover, spoke in most enthusiastic

chorus and especially the orchestra. II
is seldom that such a true musical
treat has been afforded to Honolulu,
and those who We're absent missed the
best opera of the season. 1t was a case

to admire. Miss Andrews was admir-
able, no fault could be found in either
her acting or playing, she was the en-

formance a musical treat of the highest
class.

JUDGE WILCOX ECTURED

Judge Wilcox, whose reputation as
court lecturer extends the world
around, this morning received sudden
unexpected and amusing lecture him
self. His honor's breath was carried
away for a second, but he soon re-
covered and ordered the offender locked
up for an hour for contempt of court,
The victim of his own tongue and the
wrath IT. aroused is Uhalu, the well
known native driver of hack "a. He
was complaining witness in an assault
and battery charge against a man
named Honoli. After hearing six wit
nesses Judge Wilcox acquitted the de-
fendant.
Getting up from his seat in the back
of the court room Uhalu advanced to a
position in front of his honor's bench
and said: You are not a fair judge.
You are here to do justice to all. In
.acquitting this man you have not done
the right. You ought to be ashamed of
yourself
At this juncture his honor caught his
breath long enough to say: You go
below for an hour. / find you guilty
of contempt of court" In a minute he
followed up the sentence with a re-
minder to the prisoner that he felt COM
petent TO transact his business pro-
perly or he would not hold his position.
"Thauk you, Judge; thank you" re-
torted the hackman as he backed down

ELEVEN MORE WHARF RATS
THIS TIME THEY ARE GIVEN
IMPRISONMENT.
The Boys Were Arrested on and Under
Pacific Mail Wharf Late Last Night.
Search Continues.

Eleven native and mongrel wharf
rats were given five days each on the
reef by Judge Wilcox this morning on
the charge of vagrancy. All of the
boys were from fifteen to seventeen
years of age. They were a motley
looking crowd in court.
The arrest of these boys late last
night emphasizes the necessity of inn
mediately breaking up the large gang.
All were taken from the Pacific Mail
wharf. Some were between timbers on
top of the wharf and others were on
the sills below. Several were asleep
when found and quite a number went
through holes in the wharf and escap-
ed The sills beneath the wharf had
evidently been used as a "dormitory'
for a long time.
The detention of eleven boys did not
seem to diminish the number that met
the Alameda this morning and dived
for nickels. At one time the water
swarmed with them. The boys in the
water were a part of the same gang.
The detectives failed to locate them
last night but believe today that they
have found their nest in the lumber
yard. David Kaapa says that num-
ber of the boys were at some place up
town last night gambling with men
from the waterfront
The boys arrested have a regular or
ganization. They have a treasurer
who receives all moneys and disburses
for expenses. A roster containing the
names of the boys captured and many
more, was secured. At meal times the
treasurer dsburses to each boy suffi-
cient money for his immediate use and
charges it up to him on the roster.
Money for cigarettes and other pur-
poses is issued by the treasurer in the
same way.
Kealoha Akah is the name of the
treasurer of the wharf rats society He
is the biggest boy along the front and
is therefore supposed to be proof
against robbery. The other boys sent
to prison this morning were: Kupa, Ha-
lelani Kaohumu Joe Wana, Kaleiwo-
hi, Kealoha Alua, Kane, Maui, Kaha-
lau and Antoine Louis.
David Kaapa is again planning and
hopes within a day or two to bag the
entire nest.

THE outlook for dramatic entertain
ment in Honolulu for next season is
very bright. Nance O'Neil will be here

support and Stockwell will also be in
her company.
Next June James Neill will be here
with his splendid stock company. For
several years this company has spent
the summers playing in st. Paul and
Minneapolis and has never been west
of Denver. This season it will play the
northern circuit coming by way of the
Northern Pacific, and playing a four
months engagement at the California
Theater, San Francisco From there
il will come here.
In October or November the new
Frawley company will come here. The
new company is a much stronger or
ganization than the old one. Mary
Hampton, Frawley's new leading lady
is a splendid actress.
