TAKEN BY GEN. YOUNG

LaWtOn Reported to Be Chasing
AguinaldO.

Manila, Nov 23.-12 80 o. m.-The in
surgents from the north are concen-
trating at MontaIban and San Mateo
where it is said they will make resist
ance to the American advance. The
SpaniardS never occupied these places;
and the insurgents believe them to be
impregnable.
A reconnaissance to the northwest of
San MateO on Tuesday developed the
fact that the rebels were moving stores
and men to MOntalban. The number of
the insurgents is unknown.
A reconnaissance made yesterday
showed that 200 rebels are entrenChed
at San Mateo and others in the valley
between there and Mariquina where the
rebel OutpOStS are stationed
Gen. Young entered San MateO last
September and found the place not es-
pecially adapted for a strong resist

News from the pursuit of Aguinaldo
IS not expected for a day or two. Yes-

by courier from Gen. Young that people
knowing the country think AguinaldO'S
destination is HOiOs.
With Gen. Lawton's troops in posi-
ton to move toward BayOmbOng by eV-
cry road from the south and with i'm
penetrable mountains. peOpled by un-
friendly semi-saVage tribes behind,
BayOm bong would be a poor refuge.
1t is reported that Gen. Lawton is
moving nOrthward from Tayug with in
fantry to head off Aguinaldo.
Gen. Young has only one troop of
cavalry and the Maca beD6S who orig
inalIy numbered 300. AguinaldO is sup
posed to have two days start from
Avangay.
The Newport and Tartar have arriv-
ed.
THE NEXT MOVE.
Washington, Nov. 23.-The next move
of importance in the Philippine cam
paign is to be made by Gen. Wheaton,
who Will go up the coast by transport
to Vigan, at the mouth of AbOa river.
This Will land his forces far to the
north of where Aguinaldo is supposed
to be, the intention being to cut off his
retreat to the north. From the military
information bureau, it, is learned that
east of the route AguinaldO is taking
are mountains inhabited by natives
who are not friendly to Aguinaldo and
viii be likely to attack him if he at
tempts to cross their territory.
The country along the coast is quite
we'll settled. There are several little
rivers making harbors from which it is
feared AguinaldO may escape by boat.
Gen. Young, it is believed is watching
these smaller ports with a part of his
force

MORE GOLD FROM ALASKA,
About $25O,OOO Brought Down, Chief
ly from Cape Nome.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. @-The steamer
Roanoke arrived tonight from ST.
MichaeIs. Alaska, with $50 miners and gold
dust estimated at s250.ooo Most of this was
brought out of the Cape Nome district.
G.. Price had the largest individual amount,
about $50 ,0O0. The failure of the Roanoke to
bring a large amount of gold dust from
Dawson is explained by the fact that she
failed to make connections with the Yukon
river boats at st. Michaels.
The Roanoke brings further particulars of
the laundering of the river steamer Louise.

near the mouth of the Yukon, in a storm.
The Louise has been raised and taken 10
st. Michael's for repairs. Her hull is badly
damaged and her upper works are badly
twisted. The total loss on the steamer is
estimated at $4,000. One of the barges and
its cargo, consisting of supplies for Fort
Gibson, are a total loss. The cargo was
valued at $4,000. II consisted of quarter
masters stores, commissary stores and fod-
der for cattle. 1t was not insured

A Vanderbilt Engine.

The railway locomotive designed recently
by Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr.. and built I'M
der his direction at the Albany shops Of the
New York Central, had a preliminary trial
last week on the Mohawk division of the
road. The trial was satisfactory to the de-
siguer and to the officers of the road who
witnessed II. In this new design the boiler
and irebox are perfectly cylindrical, doing
away with the necessity for stay-bolts, the
firebox being held in place by sling-stays
from the top of the boiler. A greater heat
ing surface Is also presented, and there is a
freer circulation of steam around the fire.

so. without taking of the cab. Mr.. Wander

proved very satisfactory. Mr.. Vanderbilt,

Timely Precautions.

The superintendent of the New York
Central and the Lake Shore last week issued
some orders which, If observed, will be ap-
preciated by the patrons of their fast night
trains. The notice is to engineers, firemen,
yardmen, brakemen and oilers advising
them that the noise of terminal stations
caused by rough handling of passenger cars
while switching, men shouting. car inspec-
tors and oilers allowing journal box lids
TO close with a sharp bang, engine bells be-
ing constantly rung, engines allowed to pop
of, air pumps working and by cylinder
cocks open. must be stopped. Hereafter the
utmost care must be taken while switching
cars and couplings made in such a manner
as to cause the least possible disturbance to
passengers. The practice Of calling signals
and signals given by hand or lamp only. No
loud talking will be permitted. Car inspec-
tors and oilers must use due care In opening
and closing box lids, so as to do 1t as noise
lessly as possible. Engine bells Goth on
road and switch engines) must not be kept
constantly ringing while passing through
the farmhouse. Just a few taps upon enter
ing or while passing unway and before
starting Is all that Is necessary, excepting
in cases of emergency or TO prevent acct
dent. Engine men in starting a train must
not permit the engine to slip and will see
that as little noise as possible is made by
air pumps. All these precautions will be
taken so as TO avoid annoying passengers
asleep or cnes who are naturally nervous.

THE SHAMROCK'S CREW.
The Men Spent sunday Reading What
American Papers Had to Say.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2O.-The stars and
stripes foated from the main truck of Sir
Thomas Lipton's steam yacht Erin, lying at
anchor of Tompkinsville, s.. l., to-day. At
her foretruck the owners private signal
was flying and over her taffrail dropped the
colors of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club.
Close by lies the Shamrock, flying the COL
ors of the Royal Clyde Yacht Club. Tenn
porary awnings were spread over the
yachts boom. and under them the crew
rested. They spent their first Sunday in
American waters reading what was said Of
them in the papers and answering the sa-
lutes and cheers of throngs on board the
passing steamers.
Early in the morning David Barrie, Sir
Thomas Lipton's representative, went down
the bay in a tug and visited both the Erin

A DECREASE in TONNAGE
THE CAR SHORTAGE CUTTING DOWN
THE VOLUME OF BUSINESS.
Engine Designed by n Vanderbilt
DOes Good Work-A Timely Notice
to Avoid Annoying Passengers.

The train records show that a total of
q. 6i9 cars were received and forwarded at
Indianapolis in the week ending Aug. 19,
and Of this number 21,343 were loaded, a
decrease, as compared with the week ending
Aug. II, Of LIS loaded cars, and 23 fewer
than were handled at this point in the cor
responding week Of 1898. but, going back TO
1897. there were last week 1, 716 more loaded
cars than in the corresponding week and
5.525 more than In 1896. 500 more than In
1895 and 2.5S3 more than in 1894. The falling
OF In the loaded-car movement last week
was wholly attributable TO the car short
age, which last week was more seriously
felt by indianapolis lines than in any pre-
vious week of this season. Still, the roads
have all their power in service, and a
heavier movement Of loaded cars would
tend to a congestion of traffic at division
points. That with the fewer number of
loaded cars handled the tonnage now NOV
ing is heavier than last year is evident,
as all lines are compelling shippers TO load
cars to their fullest capacity, which is quite
an important item on through business. II
Is surprising that the tonnage east and
west-bound Is so nearly equal, the trunk
lines now bringing but few empty cars
westward. The last few days there has been
a large increase in the grain shipments for
export via Newport News, Norfolk. Balti-
more and Philadelphia, and at present the
export traffic via Boston and Portland Is
heavier than in any former year. The ship
ments east of provisions, dressed meats and
produce are averaging well with former
years. Northumberland roads are now en-,
joying the greatest prosperity in years, do
ing an immense business and at good rates.
Lumber, timber, fruits and vegetables OF
Southern production are coming north by
trainloads. There is a strong demand for
coal, stock and furniture cars. Not In
many years has there been as large a tom
mage OF coal handled in August as this year,
and the great prosperity with iron indus,
tries creates a heavy demand for fiat cars.
The table below shows the number of load
ed cars handled at this point for the week
ending Aug. 10 and for the corresponding
weeks in 1898 and 1897:
