ing to illness and to the fact that in order

1t has been raining hard throughout the
week, handcapping Generals Lawton and

difficulty. In the advance General Lawton
depended on the river to get his supplies.

Forced Ont of the TagaIO Country
Into the Wilds OF the NegritOs.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-Great interest
is felt In the War Department over Aguin-
aldos sudden change of base north east
ward from Tarlac TO Bayombong, about
seventy-five miles northeast OF Tarlac
There are numerous spellings of Bayom-
bong, but the form given is the one most
generally adhered to on the maps in pos
session of the War Department. The most
interesting feature Of the new situation is
that Aguinaldo has been forced out OF the
Tagalo country into a region to the north
where Tagalo is not spoken and where the
mountains are filled with Negritos and
other savage tribes who are hostile to the
Tagalos. This Is about the most noun
famous and inaccessible part of the island
To the south base of Carabello mountain
there is narrow break in the mountain
range, and within few miles around the
base of Carabello mountain on its northern
slope one strikes the headwaters OF the
Magat, which is the beginning of the great
river Cagayan that flows northward go
miles into the China sea. 1t is on the Magat
that Aguinaldo is now located The way
Is open for him down the long stretch of
the river 10 Ararri at the mouth OF the
Cagayan. where IL flows into the sea. This
is one OF the widest but richest valleys in
the island. IL Is believed the River Caga-
yam is navigable for our tinclad boats $50

vision Of thu Supreme Court denied to-day
the motion Of the district attorney for a

cation would be renewed. The court ruled
that when the application was made an in
dictnient was pending in the Supreme Court.
The removal of the case 10 the Court OF

Major Harrison on the situation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. I0-Maj. Russell B.
Harrison. speaking yesterday of conditions
in Cuba, said: The Cubans are gradually
getting their affairs in shape but every
thing is moving slowly. The uncertainty as
to the future Of the island and the final
attitude of the United States has had the
effect of keeping capital out of Cuba. Cap
italists will not invest their money TO revive
the industries which were killed by the long
warfare until they are certain Cuba will
have a stable form of government For
these reasons comparatively few Americans
are going to Cuba. If the proper kind of
government could be guaranteed hundreds
of Americans with means would go there,
giving the natives numerous teachers and
exponents of republican principles
