HIS SECRETARY CAPTURED.
American Advance Goes
Bravely On East
Of Dagupan,

Manila, Nov, 13.-GeneraI Young is
supposed to have reached San Nicolas,
about 30 miles east of Dagupan, but his
wagons are far behind.
Col. Hayes has captured Aguinaldo's
secretary, and Maj. Coleman is in Car
ranglan, with an escort of IFS boIomen,
on his way to the Province of Nueva
Vizaya.
The son of Gen. Llaneras and his fam
lily are prisoners, The general barely
escaped. The correspondent of the
Associated Press with Gen. Young, tel
egraphs from San Jose that Aguinaldo
did not escape to the northeast He
ana his army, the correspondent adds,
are surrounded. His last orders to the
Filipino commander at San Jose We're
70 hold San Jose and Carranglan at all
costs.
The recent encounters were too one
sided to be called fights The insur-
gents are mortally afraid of the Ameri-
cans, however strong their position.
They make but a brief and feeble re-
sistanee and run when the terrible
Americans pursue them and STAY many.
The moral effect of the news that so 900
troops are on their way here has been
unquestionably great.
The insurgents are suffering more
from disease than the Americans, ow-
ing to poor food, lack of medicines and
filthy hospitals, with the result that
there is great mortality among them
Gen. Lawton has intercepted tele-
gram from an insurgent captain to a
rluplno general reading: How can
you blame me for retreating when only
u OF my company were able to fight?"

SITUATION IN FAR EAST.
Rumored Alliance Against Russia
Given Little Credit in London.


London, Nov. 1S.-It can be asserted
positively that, if Japan and China
contemplate aggressive action against
Russia, Lord Salisbury is not aware of
that intention, and it is scarcely pos
sible any definite course would be
mapped out without at least consulting
him.
However, while the foreign office Of
ficials have no information tending to
confirm recent sensational reports they
have come to regard the eastern prob
| lem as so difficult in respect of getting
accurate information, that they would
be surprised at nothing. They have en-
deaVored to take precautions against
everything
In the words of the British official
who discussed the situation: While re-
ports of a rupture between Russia and
Japan are easy of credence, and while
they are liable to be constant reitera-,
tons 50 long as the diplomats of the
press continue to view the far east with
such serious attention, it is certainly
palpable that if Japan really means to
strike a serious blow at Russian con-
troll, She must do it quickly, for very
soon Russia will be far stronger than
she is now"
Concerning the bearing of Russians
new navy and in the other light, the Of
fetal asserts that these certainly indi-
cate the intention of the car to in
crease the Russian fleet in Chinese wa
ters, which, if done on the scope out
lined in the dispatches, would leave
Japan but little chance
Another phase of the reports which
astonished me-" said the official 'is the
suggestion of Chinese cooperation.
Thus far no nation has been able to
arouse the Chinese sufficiently to get
them to combine in military affairs.
If Japan has done this, or even believes
she has, then she has accomplished
more than Great Britain or Russia in
century of effort" Careful inquiries
made by the Associated Press reveal
nothing extant in diplomatic circles
here to justify the alarmist view taken
by a section of the press regarding the
situation in the far east. For a long
time it has been known here-and il
was asserted in Associated Press dis
patches two months ago-that China
and Japan were closely allied but nei-
Their British nor American diplomatists
in London believe that this alliance is
of an offensive nature.

IN COMMON COUNCIL.

In the common council last night the
only debate came out on the question
of adopting certain orders recommend
ed by the committee on claims.
Councilman Connolly held up the or
der for the payment of 1884. SO to A. A.
Rheutan as compensation for land
taken on Brown street. The point at
issue was that this sum was out of all
proportion to the amounts awarded
other claimants for damages on this
particular street
Councilman Mcmahon, for the com
mittee, said that the city was simply
fulfilling its end of an agreement en-
tered into with Mr.. Rheutan and as a
pure business proposition, there was
nothing else to do but to pay the
money.
Councilman Timon made a long
speech against the order. Councilman
O'Leary said that two wrongs do not
make a right. Granting that other
petition may not have received suff1-
cient compensation for land taken for
the improvement of the street, there
was no justice in trying to make Mr..
Rheutan suffer in the same way.
The order finally passed.
Opposition to the adoption of an or
der for the payment of S31S. rs to Fred
A. Mann as reimbursement for the
construction of a sewer in Reese street
was led by Mr.. O'Leary and was sue
cessful.
Mr.. Mcmahon, for the committee on
claims said that there had been great
need of this particular sewer, and Mr.
Mann put it in at his own expense,
expecting to have the cost refunded to
him by the city Mr. Mcmahon said
that, like Stephen Salisbury, who has
1Pf lon rftYsly re III LIT, II
own expense, Mr.. Mann was public
spirited citizen.
Mr.. O'Leary objected to this inter-
probation of the meaning of the word,
public spirited" He said that men
did such work for the improvement of
their own property. 1t was a form of
speculation that should no longer be
tolerated by the city council. If it was
necessary to put in sewers, lay out
sidewalks or construct streets, the city
government should order and direct the
work.
1t was time, he said, that there was a
halt called. Every year bills of this
kind came in to the city council. Reese
street, he explained is little more than
an alley entering into Mr.. Mann's coal
yard. There were no houses upon it.
In his opinion, Mr.. Mann simply built
the sewer for his own benefit.
Several viva voce votes were taken
and finally the yeas and nays were
called for, resulting in a victory for
Mr. OLeary. The vote stood 10 in
favor Of compensating Mr. Mann and
- against.
Councilman Davis wished to have a
report made on the terrace site for a
park in Quinsigamond. Mr. Timon in
quired why the report should not en-
brace all the sites mentioned No ac-
ton was taken. This matter is still
in the hands of a committee.

AUTOMOBILE ECONOMY.

Though the English motor vehicles
are rated rather below those of France
and the United States, they are shown
to be economical in operation as COM
pared with horses. The London Daily
Mail recently obtained some statistics
upon this subject which made a very
favorable showing. r. H. Bayley who
employs about 1000 horses, and is chair
man of a motor vehicle company, is
quoted as one who has excellent oppor-
tunities to Judge of comparative costs.
He estimates the total operating ex-
penses of a motor car with a carrying
capacity of three and a half tons at 8
cents per ton~ mile, including working,
wages, fuel, repairs and insurance. The
cost with horses he estimates at Is to
"A cents per ton mile.
This difference in operating cost
means great saving after deducting
interest upon the investment in a 5000
vehicle. Of course, good roads are pre-
supposed in the operation Of motor We
hicles. 1t would be difficult, if not i'm
possible, to adjust their machinery to
rough country roads, such as prevail
in the rural regions of Pennsylvania
These figures, however. are instructive
in respect to the value of good high
ways as well as in connection with the
probable future of motor vehicles The
horse has some uses which the gas
engine will not soon supercede, such
as drawing the pillow, harrow, or other
farm machinery. While this is the
case it may be cheaper for the farmer
to use his horses, not engaged in any
other work, to draw his vehicles. But
the motor vehicle is certainly destined
to carry the greater part of city traf-
fic in the near future

TANGLE WORSE.
Result Now Depends Entirely on Out
come of Contests.


Louisville, Ky, Nov 13.-The tangle
growing out of last weeks election was
worse than ever today. This was the
third day of the official count, but the
work of the county boards of canvass
ers disclosed little information to clear
the situation. Chairman Long of the
republican committee today repeated
his claim Of a plurality of Bill for Tay-
Tor, based on official returns from 10
counties, and unofficial returns from
the remaining nine. The DEMOCRATS
papers and leaders here have ceased to
give figures, but specials from Frank
fort quote Candidate Goebel and other
party leaders as saying they are con-
fident
The complexion of the returns to be
presented TO the state board of election
commissioners, when it meets in Frank
fort next month, still depends upon the
determination of the contests which are
now being raised in several parts of
the state, notably the strongly repub-
hean counties of the 18th district
where the democrats claim tissue bal
lots were used. These contests have
aroused much feeling in the localities
5 affected. One of them involves the
vote of Knox county, which gave Tay-
Tor 1898 plurality. Today, Barbour
Vile, the county seat, was visited by
hundreds Of men interested in the re-
suit, 4heir avowed purpose being to see
that justice is done.

EVERYTHING TRANQUIL.

Judge Chambers Renders Favorable
Report on Island Of Tutnla
Washington, Nov. 13.-Judge Cham
bers, chief justice of Samoa, now in
this country on leave of absence, called
at the state department today, and had
long talk with Secretary Hay respect
ing Samoan affairs. and particularly
the conditions on the island of Tutuila
to become the exclusive property of the
United States upon the ratification Of
the recently arranged division of the
Samoan group. The chief justice made
most favorable report upon the ISL
and. The government will probably be
patterned after that at Guam, where
the natives maintain civil govern
ment. The closing chapters of the his
tory of the Samoan Berlin treaty are
to be set out in report which Justice
Chambers has prepared, and will sub

MRS. PLANT MAY CONTEST
Said She is Far From Satisfied With
$4,000 Year.

New York, Nov. 13.-The Tribune to-
morrow will say that the will of Henry
B. Plant, the steamship and hotel own
er, who died in Connecticut on June "a
last, leaving an estate of several mil
lions, is likely to be contested by his
widow who, it is said, is not satisfied
with the allowance of $780, 900 per year
bequeathed to her.
A few days before Mr.. Plant died he
got up from a sick bed and hurried to
New Haven, where he made his will en-
failing his property. This act of Mr..
Plant prompted the suspicion that his
mind was partially unbalanced DR..
Durand, Mr.. Plants family physician,
when questioned, said that Mr. Plants
mind was apparently clear when he
made his will The doctor impressed
the belief that Mrs. Plant would not
contest the will.
