To Hem in Aeninaldo.

Manila, Nov. 13.-The Americans
have practically closed the trap in
which it is intended to catch General
Aguinaldo and his army. Agui.
naldo's secretary aad 172 bolomen,
who were acting as his escort, have
oeen captured near Carranglan. Gen.
eral Layton with part of his force is at
Carranelsn. his advance, led by Gen
eral Young, aud other attachments
from his force are at Lurao, Tayug and
Nicholas, stretching 10 semi.circle to-
wards Ice Gulf Of Lingayen, from
which place General Wheaton and his
men started about the middle of laat
week. Il is believed that Wheaton's ad.
vance mas connected with Gen. Young,
thus completing the Gordon to the
north. Ga the south, General
MacArthur's advarcs has reached
Tarlac, the last capital of the FiliDinos.
The place was entered at ITO O'Clock
last night. Contrary to the custom of
the Filipinos, the place was not put to
the torch. Twenty-Five rebels came
into MacArthur's camp and surrender
ed their rifles, receiving pay therefor.
This and Tsrlac's tame surrender, it is
confidently believed, marks the end of
organized instruction.
Reports received from Generals Law
ton, Macarthur and Young convey the
impression that Aguiusldo and his
army are "bottled up" The slippery
Filipino leader who has escaped from
the Americans several times is now
once more said to be in tight place
aud his capture is looked for.

THE WAR IN AFRICA.

The Beers must strike telling blows
this week before the British reinforce
ments are upon them, and the latest
uews from the seat OF war in South
Africa indicates that they are seeking
to do this. The attack is proceeding in
four looalities-Ladysmith, Kimberley,
Mafeking and northern Cape Colony,
near the Orange State border. A fight
with heavy artillery on both sides o.
Cured at Ladysmith, Natal, last Thurs
day morning, the date Of the latest ad-
vices. The town was described as in q
huge caldron of smoke. Big guns we're
pounding away at short intervals. The
result is not positively known, but the
London War Office PROCESSES to be con-
6dsnt that General White is safe.
1t is not believed in London that Gen.
Joubert has much prospect of capturing
Ladysmith with artillery alone. An
infantry attack on the British entrench-
ments is expected.
The Beers have been bombarding
Kimberley recently. They are said to
have produced no impression on the
town go far. Their army surrounds it
in great force and has heavy guns.
An attack on Mafeking was repulsed
by the fire of Maxim guns. The Brit.
ish loss is described as "slight."
The Beers continue to pour into Cape
Colony from the north, with view, it
is believed, of getting the help of colon.
ial Dutch. They will have to hasten
their operations in that direction with
especial rapidity, as the British are ex.
peeled to have $4,000 soldiers on the
scene by the middle of this week.
The British commander at Kimberley
reports, through General Butler. seve-
raj skirmishes with the Orange Free
State troops. in which an officer of the
Cape police and several others were
wounded. Maxim guns were used
effectively on the Beers. Another re.
port says that the British, in mistake,
killed one member of the Cape police
and wounded another.

The Southern man who has political
aspirations, or who does not wish to
weaken the democratic party and
strengthen the republican, and proior
indefinitely the injurious rule thereof,
had better conceal his predictions iu
favor of trusts, protection, gold mono
metallism AID Imperialism. The dem
ocrats of the South are opposed to all
such republican measures, and, judging
by the result of the late elections, not
only those of the North. but many Of
the republicans OF that section also
agree with them. And az Mr.. Bryan is
the most pronounced opponent of all
those measures, he is sure to be their
leader, and if he he not, the democrats
themselves will defeat the man who
may be nominated in his place.

There will also be bill introduced
