THE WAR IN AFRICA.

The long-range bombardment OF Gen.
eral Whites army at Ladysmith, Natal
was continuing at the time of the latest
advices which the excessively Jealous
British censor permitted to come
through.
General Joubert was believed to be
drawing his lines closer about the Brit.
sn position. 1t is said in London the.
Joubert's only hope lies 10 the use oil
he bayonet. By this means he might
capture General Whites camp, for it
seems that the cannon are unable to
win. Confidence ia expressed in Lon.
don that the British woHld be able to
repel bayonet attack.
If Ladysmith had beeen captured, it
is believed that the news would have
come by way of Pretoria, as the Beers
would be anxious to make known their
victory.
General Sir Charles Warren has been
appointed chief of the Fifth British in.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRApHIC NEWS.
Message TO Agutnaldo

Washington, D. c. Nov. 15.-The
military situation in the Philippines is
80 satisfactory to to the President and
Secretary of War Root that the de-
cision was reached to communicate with
Aguinaldo and lay before him certain
demands. With the main body of the
Filipino army surrounded and the
United States troops slowly closing in,
General Young already menacing their
new capital, BayomboDg, there sup
plies and reserve ammunition seized,
Aguinaldo and his followers are in a
bad way. 1t is therefore believed the
President has called on the Filipino
leader to give up the Struggle now and
avid further bloodshed in view OF his
hopeless position. Compliance will
mean better terms for the rebel leaders
| than they Can secure if the struggle is
protracted. General Otis says he has
forwarded the communication to Gen.
eral Macarthur, with directions to get
it to Aguinsldo. The fact that the
message was given into Mac Arthur's
care, indicates that OTIS believes that
Aguinaldo has not escaped into the
mountains, but is somewhere in the
middle region of LnzoD, between the
American lines.
Washington, Nov. 15.-It was learn
ed this afternoon that the message sent
by General Corbin to General Oils with
instructions to forward it to Aguinaldo
came from the Spanish government.
War Department officials say tba5 the
message related to the surrender OF
Spanish prisoners now held by the
Fllipinos and is not of importance.
General Otis has acknowledged the
receipt OF the message and says he has
sent it to General Macarthur for de,
livery. if possible. Macarthur is ops
rating in southern LuZon. The TACT
that be has been asked TO communicate
with Aguinaldo ia significant as ipdi
eating that Aguinaldo is in that part OF
the island and not in northern Luzon
as has been generally supposed. In
that event the big trap arranged few
days ago was set in vain.
Manila, Nov 15.-Aguinaldo has not
yet been definitely located, but the
Americans are after him. II Aguinalto
and his men escaped through the lines
since Saturday they must necessari!,
have gone in small detachments over
the moutain trails. practically dispers-
ing their forces. General Youns's ad
vance has since reached Bambang eight
miles south of Bayombong, the Fill
pinos new capital.
