MARSH ABANDONS PURSUIT
Follows AguinaldO Into the Heart of a
Mountain Range.
TWO SOLDIERS WITH FILIPINO LEADER
Captured Native General Asserts that
only nm order from AguInnldo
VIII Disband His
Army.

MANILA, Dec. 16.-9:15 a. MIA or
Peyton c. Marsh Of the Thirty third infln-
try has abandoned his pursuit of Aguinal1o
and has reached Bagnen, in the heart Of the
Grand Cordillera, where the range is 10000
feet high and where food is scarce and
travel almost impossible.
From native couriers and Spanish prison.
ers 1t was learned that Aguinaldo left Bon
toe, in the province of the same name, with
three women and two soldiers, three days
ago, and headed southwark, evidently for
Bayombong, in the province Of New Vizcaya,
where II is thought he may encounter the
Americans. Major Marshs command was
depleted 20 per cent by the two days march
from Cervantes to Bagnen, so he returned
to Cervantes December 10.
Scattered bands of Macabebes, which
have been operating in the north, are being
collected with the intention of sending tn m
back to Manila as there is much sickness
among them and they are unfit for fui ther
mountain work.
Lieutenant Chadwick and correspondent
OF the Associated Press, the latter C m
mandng thirty Macabebes, have visited the
mountain town of Pamposa and received the
surrender of company of insurgents, in
Guiding three officers, with their arms and
ammunition.
General Conception and other Filipino
officers who have surrendered, have been
taken to Vigan. Conception who is cheerful
insists that the insurgent organization VII
be maintained even in the districts where
the Americans are operating also claiming
that the Filipino leaders can use their troops
whenever they desire. He suggests that the
only method of terminating the war is the
capture of Agunaldo and the obtaining of
an order from him for the troops to sur
render their arms. But Conception believes
Aguinaldo will never be captured

BROOKLYN FIRST TO MANILA
New Orleans, Now at Singapore, Has
Made as Good Time, Starting
Five Days Later.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The Brooklyn
arrived at Manila today, winning easily the
long race from this country out. which it
has been running with the New Orleans.
While the Brooklyn is now about four or
five days ahead of the New Orleans, it is
pointed out at the Navy department that
Unless something befalls the New Orleans
before it reaches Manila from Singapore it
will actually have made the trip from the
United States to Manila in the same or
even less time than the larger cruiser The
Brooklyn sailed from Fortress Monroe on
the long voyage October 16 and 1t was five
days later, October 81, when the New Or
leans got away from Now York. so that
the elapsed time occupied in the voyage
allowing the New Orleans five days to make
the run from Singapore to Manila, will be
about the same in each case.
Captain Jewell, who took the Brooklyn
out from this country, has been relieved at
his own request from the command and
ordered to return to the United States
He has completed his tour of sea service
and will give place to Captain C. M. Thomas
in command of the Brooklyn. Captain
Thomas will sail January 6 for his station.

WARNED AGAINST SMALLPOX
Des Moines People ToId to he on the
Lookout against the Lonth-
some Disease.

DES MONIES, Dec. 16.-(Special Tele-
grEcn.) Moines was warned today to be
on the lookout for smallpox. DR.. Kennedy
| OF the State Board OF Health said he would
] not be surprised at any time to hear Of the
( appearance Of the disease in the colored dis
/ trct OF this city. He is in receipt of a re-
! port from Dr. McKlveen of the State Board
OF Health, confirming the report that there
are ten cases OF the disease among the negro
miners at Coalfield, Monroe county. Not
until after the cases had been in existence
for some time was the disease recognized
and the movements of the patients re-
stricted. Consequently the extent of the ex-
posure has been great. Many OF the negroes
at Coalfeld have relatives at Muchkinock,
another colored district In Mahaska county,
and the disease is feared there 1t is ex-
pected also that panic will bring many of the
negroes to Des Moines, it being the center of
the negro population in the state.
Kennedy says he does not wish to frighten
the people uselessly, but he is of the opin-
lon that there is danger of the disease reach
ing Des Mones and he believes the city
should be prepared for 1t when it comes as
! this is the worst time Of year for its spread.
With this in view he directed letter to
DR.. Fred L. Welle. city physician, today,
asking him what precautions, II any, had
been taken against the disease and suggest
ing that hospital be prepared and other
movements be put on foot to suppress the
disease the moment 1t arrives.
The tenth biennial report of the State
Board of Health came out today One whole
chapter is devoted to Smallpox in Iowa"
and it is plain to be seen that the board
did not fully approve of the laxness exhib-
| tied in some parts of the state a year ago,
when from a case of smallpox at Hamburg,
Ia, the disease spread until there were
over 200 cases before 1t was sup
pressed. In giving the history of the
epidemic, which is said to have been the
most extensive and persistent which ever
visited the state, the board refers to the
fact that it was expected that the larger
cities having so much at stake, would
promptly carry out the designs of the state,
/ but they did not.

WOOD SHOULD BE SUPREME
senior san Miguel, Editor of La Luchn,
Says He should Re Given
Full Power.

HAVANA, Dec. 16.--Senor San Miguel, ed
tor of La Lucha, said today:
1T is extremely important that all the
military commanders in the island shall be
subordinate to the command of General
Wood. Nobody must be able to say, In this
province l command In this town / am the
head as was said with General Brooke. If
this is not clearly understood beforehand,
friction among department commanders is
sure to occur, particularly between those in
the same city. General Wood, being the per-
sonal representative of the president, should
have every barrier cleared away and be given
a full chance to carry out his policy"
1t is proposed by La Discussion that a
committee be formed to ask that the remains
of the victims of the Maine disaster be deliv-
cred in charge Of the CubanS until the battle
ship Texas is ready to sail, in order to allow
the Cubans to place guard of honor over
the remains, which will lie in state, General
Coazo and other prominent men are strongly
in favor of the plan.
Captain Green, commandant of the naval
station here, says that as soon as the Texas
is ready to receive the bodies the work of ex-
huming them will be begun He has received
no request regarding the delivery of the re-
mains to the Cubans or as to their lying in
state.
