while the police of Pittsburgh hold the
fifth awaiting extradition. Under the
leadership of Alonzo J. Whiteman,
these men have Travelled from San Fran
cisco to Boston, and their opera tions
have resulted in heavy losses to banks
in nearly every city in tie west. It is
impossible to give an accurate estimate
of the total amount of their thefts, but
enough is known to warrant the state
ment that within IS months they have
divided at least 100000.
Besides Whiteman, the men detained
at police headquarters are Frank Ed

Hartley, alias Perry Lawton, and Rob-
ert j. Knox. Charles Ward. who is I'M

Manila. Nov. l3.-Col. Bells regiment
and asmall force of cavalry entered Tar
lac Sunday night without opposition.
Where Aguinaldo, with his army, and
|: the so-called government have ned, is
a mystery.
Manila, Nov. 13.-Gen. Macarthur
took Bamban Saturday. This is sup
posed to be the strongest position held
by the Filipinos except Tarlac. The
brief accounts of the engagement re-
ceived indicate that the rebels fought
according to their recent tactics, re-
treating after firing a few volleys. One
officer of the Thirty-sixth regiment
is the only American reported killed.
Manila, Nov. 14.-Gen. Young is sup
posed to have reached San Nicolas,
about 30 miles east of Dagupan, but
his wagons are far behind.

secretary and Maj. Coleman is in Car
rangolan, with an escort of IT'S bolo-
men, on his way to the province of
Nueva Visaya. The son of Gen. Liam
eras and his family are prisoners. The
general barely escaped.
The correspondent of the press with
Gen. Young telegraphs from San Jose
that Aguinaldo did not escape to the
northeast. He and his army, the cor
respondent adds, are surrounded. His
last orders to the Filipino commander
| at San Jose were to hold San Jose and
| Carranglan at all COSTS
Maj. Marsh's battalion of the Thirty
| third regiment, which includes many
old rough riders from the southwest,
| attacked 400 Filipinos three miles from
San Fabian, on the Dagupan road, on
Friday. The Filipinos had been frin g
at the outposts. Maj. Marsh found
| them intrenched across the river. Their
| trenches had been made after Gen.
| Wheaton's arrival. Maj. Marsh charged
them, portion of his battalion fording
the stream and part crossing by the
| bridge. When the Americans ap-
preached, the Filipinos, afraid to show
their heads, poked their rifles above the
trench and fired blindly. Maj. Marsh's
force pursued them for a mile. Four
teen dead Fhpinos were left behind, in
Guiding the lieutenant colonel COM
handing on the field. Two Americans
were wounded.
Washington, Nov. 16.-The president
is making efforts to secure the protec-
ton of the Spanish prisoners with the
insurgents in the Philippines. A cable
message has been sent to Gen. Otis and
by him forwarded to Gen. Macarthur
! with instructions to get it to Aguinal-
do, if possible, relating to this subject.
The president requests the kindly and
humane treatment of the Spanish pris-
opers and the message also contains an
intimation that any of the insurgents
responsible for the ill-treatment of
such prisoners will be held to strict
account when they are taken by the
United States forces operating in the
islands.

BOERS SUFFER DEFEAT.

Hours Fighting Near Lady
II smith.

London, Nov. 14.-A special dispatch
from Durham, Natal, dated Thursday,
November 8, evening, says:
''Native runners who have Just arrived
here from the Drakensberg district re-
port that the Beers suffered a severe de-
feat at Ladysmith this morning. The Boer
guns were silenced after four hours fight
ing, during which the Boer losses were
heavy. No details have been received
The simultaneous attacks on Lady,
smith, Mafeking and Kimberley, which
were opened Thursday, manifest full
recognition by the Beers of the fact
that every day lessons their chances of
successful onslaught on any of the
three British strongholds. Gen. Jou-
bert's chances of reaching Pietermar-
itzburg can be said to have vanished.
There is no doubt that, from tho
British point of view, the general situa-
ton in Natal is rapidly improving.
Nearly 5000 troops reached South Al
RIGA during the last 4s hours, and by
the end of the week from 5000 to 1000
more will be added to the British
strength in Natal. These will probably
| be pushed forward to Estcourt, bring
ing the British force there up to 10, 900
men and making a general attack on
Ladysmith by Gen. Joubert very haz-
ardous.
Durham, Nov. 12.-The Times, of Ma
| tai, publishes telegram from Louren-
20 Marques saying that Gen. Joubert
was killed in action on Thursday, No
vember 9.
! London, Nov. 16.-The total reen-
forcements that have arrived in South
Africa since Friday are 10000 men,
chiefly infantry, nearly $4,000 horses
and mules, three batteries of field ar
tillery, and number of quick-firing
maxim guns. The fact that the Britain
mic proceeded for East London is taken
to mean that Gen. Butler is satisfied
that the troops which have already
landed or are on the way to Durham will
be sufficient to carry out his plans for
| the relief of Ladysmith.
