AGUINALDO AMONG ENEMIES.
THE REBEL LEADER IN A MOUNTAINOUS
AND INACCESSIBLE PART OF LUZON.

IA
AND INACCESSIBLE PART OF LUzoN.
Washington. Nov 10.-Great interest is felt in
the War Department over Aguinaldo's sudden
change of base northeastward from Tarlac TO
Bayombong. about seventy-fve miles distant.
There are many spelngs of the latter place. but
the form given Is the one most generally adhered
to on the maps In possession Of the War Depart
ment The most interesting feature of the new
situation is that Aguinaldo has been forced out
of the Tagalo country into a region to the north
where Tagalo is not spoken and where the
mountains are filed with Negritos and other
savage tribes who hostile to the Tagalos
This Is about the most mountainous and mac
cessible part of the island.
On the south base of Carabollo Mountain there
is narrow break in the mountain range, and
within few miles around the base Of Cara
bollo Mountain on its northern slope one strikes
the headwaters Of the Magat. which is the be-
ginning Of the great River Cagayan that flows
northward two hundred and fifty miles into the
China Sea. 1t is at the headwaters Of the Magat
that Agunaldo is now located. The way is open
for him down the long stretch Of the river to
Aparr at the mouth Of the Cagayan. where it
flows into the sea. This is one of the widest
but richest valleys in the island. II Is believed
that the River Cagayan is navigabe for tinclad
gunboats one hundred and fifty miles from its
mouth, and for cascos much further.
1t is expected that as soon as Aguinaldo shows
any disposition to move down the valley toward
the China Sea warshps and gunboats will be
sent around the northern end Of the island to
meet him and cut off his escape. If 1t is his in
tention TO escape from Luzon he would naturally
seek APART or some northern port. but the
country around Carabollo Mountain is such that
he could probably stand off the whole American
force in a game of hide and seek in the hills for
the greater part of the coming season.
Secretary Root feels no concern over the trans
fer Of Agunaldo's base of operations to Bayom-
bong. The Secretary said to-day that the move
distinctly retrograde and in the nature Of a
retreat after finding that his former base was
untenabe. Throughout the War Department
not materially change the campaign plans, and
that they will be pushed with undated vigor.
