he MAY ESCAPE.
One of Aguinaldo's General Says chs
Leader Will Not Be Captured.
The Tshirty-Third Infantry Suffered
Terribly During the Two Days
March From Cervantes to
Bagnen and Return.

Manila, Dec. 17.-Maj. Peyton c.
March, of the 33d infantry, has aban-
doned his pursuit of Aguinaldo and
has reached Begnen 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
prisoners it was learned that Aguin-
aldo left Bontoc, in the province of
the same name, with three women
and two soldiers three days ago, and
headed southwark, evidently for Bay
omburg, in the province of New Viz
caya, where it is thought he may en-
counter the Americans.
Mai. March's command was depleted
20 per cent by the two days march
from Ceramics to Bagnen, so he re-
turned to Cervantes December 10.
Scattered bands of Macabebes, which
have been operating in the north, are
being collected with the intention of
sending them back to Manila, as there
is much sickness among them, and
they are unfit for further mountain
work.
Lieut.. Chadwick and a correspond
ent, the latter commanding 30 Maca-
bebes, have visited the mountain town
Of Pamposa and received the surren-
der of a company of insurgents, in
GLIDING three officers, with their arms
and ammunition.
Gen. Conception and other Filipino
officers who have surrendered, have
been taken to Vigan. Conception, who
is cheerful, insists that the insurgent
organization will be maintained, even
in the districts where the Americans
are operating, also claiming that the
Filipino leaders can use their troops
when they desire. He suggests that
the only method of terminating the
war is the capture of Aguinaldo and
the obtaining of an order from him
FOR the troops to surrender their arms.
But Conception believes Aguinaldo
will never be captured.
Washington, Dec. 17.-Gen. Otis ca
bles as follows:
Manila, Dec. 16.-On the Sth inst,
Gen. Smith, at Negroes, reports that
early in December a number of the
inhabitants of four coast towns en-
/ tered the mountains, believing the
statements of Panay and LuzOn
agents that the Americans had been
Overwhelmingly defeated in those is
lands; that Aguinaldo was about to
dictate terms of peace, and the Amer
lean congress to confer independence
when the established civil government
of the island would be overthrown
They also were told that all Negros
were about to arise and drive out the
Americans. No depredations were
committed and no consequences Of
Importance apprehended.'

Washington, Dec. 16.-lsolatec
bands of bushwnackng insurgents
who are caught by our forces in the
Philippines are likely to be summar'
ily dealt with. At the cabinet meeting
Friday the matter was discussed al
some length, and it was the general
sentiment that the situation demand
ed vigorous treatment. AS long as
the insurgents keep up show OF an
army under a semblance of discipline
they will be treated as prisoners OF
war when captured, but when they
degenerate into isolated bands of ma
RAIDERS, harrassing our forces by cold
blooded assassinations, it is the judg-
ment of the officers in command in
the Philippines and of the president
and the members of the cabinet that
The situation demands summary ac-
ton.
In the discussion of Cuban affairs
it was developed that Gen. Wood, in
taking command of the island as mill
tary governor, would pursue practi-
cally the same course that he fol-
lowed in Santiago province. Capable
and trustworthy citizens from time
to time will be given positions of re-
sponsibility, and so gradually become
identified with the civil administra-
ton of the island. The rigor of mill
tary rule will be lessened as rapidly
as the situation safely warrants.

partment received a cable message

THE WHEAT CROP.
Department. Makes His Report
to His Chief.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The statisti-
clan of the department of agriculture
reports the wheat crop of the United
States for 1899 at SAT, 100000 bushels,
or 1928 bushel per acre. The prOduc-
ton of winter wheat is placed at
POI, 100000 bushels, and that of spring
wheat at 255,6OO,OOO bushels. Every
important wheat-growing state has
been visited by special agents of the
department, and the changes in acre
age are the result of their investiga-
tions.
The newly seeded area of winter
wheat is estimated at 3O,15O,OOO acres,
which is about 100000 acres greater
than that sown in the fall of 1898.
The sowing of wheat is still going on
in California and some of the south
ern states and the foregoing estimate
is subject to correction. The average
of condition is 97.1.
The acreage sown with winter rye
is estimated at 10 per cent. less than
| that of last year. The average OF
condition is 9S.2 per cent.
| The compilation of the average re-
turns from individual farmers is APP
preaching completion. Any slight
changes that may be called for in the
! average yield per acre of corn, oats
barley and other crops as published
October 10, will be made at an early
date, and the final figures will then
be available.

LARGE FACTORY FIRE.
Terrific Panic in New York Tenement
HOuses-Fifty Horses Were
Burned to Death.

New York, Dec. 18.-Fire started
suddenly at 1910 o'clock Monday
morning in big factory building at
655 and 657 First avenue, occupied by
a wire factory, cigar manufacturing
firm, a firm of machinists and other
business houses.
The flames spread with great rapid
ity and within few minutes it was
apparent that it would be impossible
to save the building and every effort
of the firemen was devoted to the sur
rounding tenements. There was ter
rife panic in many of these tenements
and the avenue in a few minutes was
almost blocked with half naked poor
people who had tumbled out of the
ramshackle building with wild cries of
fright.
The flames shot from the cellar to
the roof factory building and lit up
the neighborhood for blocks. Sheets
of flame burst from the windows and
showers of sparks fell upon the gath
eIing crowds and terrified tenement
jewellers.
The basement of the building was
occupied as livery stable of Michael
Kelley. There were so horses in the
place and despite the heroic efforts
to save them all were burned to
death.
1t is believed that all the people
were got out of the tenements in
safety, although several of the chill
dren were rescued uncoscious from
the smoke. The loss will amount to
about $4,000. At 2 o'clock the fire
was under control.

New Diamond Fields.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Dec. 10
1t is reported that diamond field has
been found in the wilds between
Michipicoten and Port Arthur. The
precise location is kept a profound
secret. The discovery was made last
summer by an expert from Kimberley,

discovery is reported to be of con-
siderable area, and, in the opinion of

PRINTERS ON A STRIKE.
Members of Pittsburgh Typography
ical Union Walk Out of the
Pittsburgh DaiIies.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 16.-The MEM
bers of Pittsburgh Typographical I'm
ion No. z have walked out of the Of
fees of the Pittsburgh daily news
papers and struck work, although the
scale or contract between the prin-
tiers and publishers does not expire
until December "a. They have not
struck for higher wages. The de-
mand is that the machinists, employ
ed to care for the linotype machines,
and who are members of Duquesne
lodge No. 1919 of the International
Association of MachiniSts, be forced
to become members of the typograph-
zeal union.
To accede to this demand would be
to violate contract between the pub
fishers and the machinists The con-
test of the typographical union, there
fore, resolved itself into an attempt
to disrupt union of fellow work
men. 1t is not primarily dispute be-
tween newspaper publishers and print
ers, but dispute between printers
and machinists, and an effort on the
part of the printers to use the pub
fishers as a club to drive the machin-
lists into the typographical union.
The present strike is the work of a
few contentious men. The Industrious
printers of Pittsburgh, with families
to support, have been forced into If
against their will. They were not al
lowed to vote on the proposition at
all, but were ordered out by some out
side authorities.
