THE FLIGHT OF AGUINALDO.
NEW YORK, Nov. ga Sun cable
from Manila says: General Otis in
formed the correspondent of the Sun
tonight that insurgents south of Ma
Mia were going to their homes. They
have apparently heard of the events in
the north and are discouraged by re-
verses that have befallen their arms
and the flight of Aguinaldo Wheaton
reported that his men succeeded in res
cuing Aguinaldo's mother from the ma
tives and that she is now safe at San
Fabian with her young grandson.
Aguinaldo's baby died at Bayombong
during the flight of the insurgent lead
er and his family to the north.
The latest reports show that Young
is hurrying northward along the coast
from San Fernando toward Vigan. A
company of Macabbees followed the
trail toward Trinidad which Aguinaldo
was reported to be using. The trail
ended blindly in the mountains. If
Aguinaldo went to Bayombong his
capture may soon be heard of. 1t lis

timately reach Aparri. Full supplies
are being forwarded. Gunboats are
cooperating with Young along the
coast as much as the weather permits.
They are also watching Aparri. The
Signal Corps has constructed tele-
graph line to San Fabian, eight miles
northeast of Dagupan, the work being
finished today. A branch line will im-
mediately be built to San Nicolas,
twenty-five miles east of San Fabian.
GUERILLA TACTICS HEREAFTER.
MANILA, Nov. 26.-11 p m.-The
last Filipino council of war was held
by the retreating leaders at Bayom-
bong, on November 13, in the house
now occupied by General Macarthur
1t was attended by Aguinaldo, Pho del
Pillar, Garcia, Alejandrino and some
members of the sO-called Cabinet. In
formation has reached General Mac
Arthur from several sources to the ef-
feet that the council reorganized the
futility of attempting further resis- |
tance to the Americans with united
forces, and agreed that the Filipino |
troops should scatter and should here |
after follow guerilla methods.

stin (Gras PAM, says:
*.The Beers successfully retreated.
The Lancers attempted to intercep. and
reached them, but a severe fire opened

Alderman Jeppe and Commandant Res

the Beers voluntarily surrendered.
''The Beers were shelled during the
final retreat and must have lost heav-

northward with their six guns. The

Free State territory and the engage

expressed his regrets at their losses. =

Should Act at Once.

Should Act at Once.
BOISE. Idaho. Nov. Ex-senator
Shoup and family left today for
Washington. but will stop day in
Salt Lake. In an interview before
leaving the Senator said the time was
ripe. in his opinion, for Congress 90
take action with respect TO Hawaii
and Porto Rico. He said We know as
much now about the needs OF those
islands as we could know after an
other year and he favored the enact
ment of such legislation as shall ap-
pear to be necessary. He did not think
1t would be practicable to legislate for
the Philippines or Cuba at this TUNE.
Speaking of Cuba The Senator said
he was in favor of continuing the oc-
cupation until the leading people OF
the island shall have had full oppor-
tunity to determine what they desire
for the future. After they have had
this opportunity to make up thedr
minds intelligently ON the subject, the
question of the future of the island
should be put to vote among them.
If they then desire annexation TO the
United States they will so declare nj
The ballot-box, and" the Senator add
ed. IF they decide in favor OF annex
a.ion everybody in the United States
will be glad OF it,"
Referring In a general way To the
questions arising as a result OF the
war with Spain, Senator Shoup said
he was in hearty accord with the pol
icy of the Administration on every
point and it would be his pleasure To
give his support to the plans OF tine
Government respecting the manage
ment of our new possessions and the
treatment of Cuba.
Referring particularly to the Phil
ippines, the Senator said he favored
the policy of crushing the rebellion.
He was of the opinion that the war
proper was at an end. but there would
probably be guerilla campaign main
tanned for a year.
Our particular business now" he
said, "is to put down the rebellion. IL
will oe time enough after that TO talk
about the future OF the islands"

campaign in which Hicks Pasha's

the investment and capture of Klhar-
toum and the death of General Gordon
in 1885. Since the death of his master
he has reigned supreme among his
fanatical followers, leading life of
excess and debauchery. When his
power was broken by the terrible de-
feat of Omdurman he escaped with a
following to Ell Obeid, where he had

PALMER COMES IN.
The Gold Standard Candidate Out for
Bryan.


Bryan.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 25.-
General John NJ. Palmer of Illinois,
who was a candidate for President on
the Gold Democratic ticket in 1896, is
in the city and has made most re
markable political statement. General
Palmer, talking about the issues and
candidates for 1900, said this:
The leading issues for 1900 will be
ant1-eXpansion, anti-mflitarism, anti
trusts. At least these will be the
Democratic slogans. The nomination
of Mr.. Bryan is in my opinion fore
gone conclusion. He will'be nominal
ed and l predict that he will be elected
President in spite of his radical views
on silver"
Such statement coming from Cen
era1 Palmer is pretty important poll
teal utterance, in that it indicates the
reuniting of the Democratic forces un-
der the leadership of Bryan. 1t shows
that the effort to bring all classes of
Democrats together is meeting with
some success, another remarkable in
stance of this being Croker's espousal
of Bryan's cause.

Another Transportation Scheme Or
ganizing on the Coast.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ga new
shipping and transportation company
has been organized to operate between
San Francisco and Honolulu. The
prime mover i'm the enterprise is Wdil
M. Campbell. who left this city over
year ago to engage in business I'm tho
Islands. The necessities OF his own
business led to the formation OF the
company. Mr.. Campbell came here n
few days ago to secure a large quaint
ty of building materials, and was sur
prised to learn that he would have
great difficulty in securing its rapid
transportation.
The way out of the difficulty, and
the only one that presented itself, was
to charter vessel, and finding that
there was large freighting business
awaiting any company that might be
formed to secure II, the plans Of Mr..
Campbell expanded almost before ne
knew it, and now he Is the head of an
oceanic transportation company
Two serviceable and seaworthy
three-masters have been secured, and
It has been decided to close a contract
for the construction OF a new three
masted schooner, with auxiliary steam
power and accommodations for about
forty passengers. The new vessel will
be built in the best manner and with
all the latest improvements.
1t is intended by Mr.. Campbell and
his associates, now that the business
of ocean freight carrying has been
thrust upon them, Ito extend the scope
of the company until II shall have
ships plying between this port and
those Of China, Japan and the Philip
pines.

AGONCILLO'S CLAIMS
For Recognition Of philippine Gov
crnmcut by United States.

WASHINGTON D. C.t Jan. 15.-Sen-
or Felipe Agonc!llo. the representative
Of General Aguinaldo in Washington.
has flied with the state department Il
memorandum setting forth at length
the reasons for his claim that the
Philippine government should be rec
ognized by the United StatesI Accom-
panying the memorandum Is letter, In
which Senor Agoncillo states that he
has received no reply TO his communi-
cation OF January G. 1T which he asks
that n suitable time be arranged when
he could be presented TO the President
and heard upon his claims. In Ticw Of
the position in which the representa-
tives OF the American government and
the representatives of the Philippine
government find themselves upon the
Islands ut this time. he urges that the
matter be given immediate attention.
The letter and the memorandum have
-bcen.-listed vas official documents In
the state department and although the
officials have themselves refused TO
make them public they have nevcrthe-
less expressed willingness for Senior
Agoncillo to do so IL he desired. The
papers are now In the hands OF Sccrc-
tary Hay.
The memorandum Is along the same
lines as statements heretofore made
public by the Filipino representative.
Scnor AgoncillO asserts the Fillpinos
established and for seven months have
maintained form Of government re-
seliRblng the American. In that 1t is
based upon the right OF the people 10
rulc; that Spain having at the time Of
the signing OF the treaty OF peace pos
session OF only one port and the re-
n,ainder OF the Philippines. except Ma
Mia. being In possession OF the Philip
pine republic, Spain could give no title
10 the United States for the Islands and
that having no title TO give her claim
canrot be rendered better by the rati-
fication Of the treaty OF peace.
