RUSSIA CAUSING uNEAs1NEss

ing for an Attack ON Herat-Some
Think Japan Will Attempt to
Stop the Move.

New York, Nov. l6.-A dispatch from
London says:
The inactivity prevailing at the Boer
camps and the lull in military operations
on the British side encourage the London
letter writers to look around and find
whether anything is happening.
Outside of South Africa they see cloud
as large as mans hand in Kushk, where
the Russian troops are massed, apparently
for a sudden attack upon Herat. There is
strong evidence that Russia is preparing
for fresh advance upon Herat, or for a
stroke of some kind by which free exit to
the Indian ocean can be secured. Some
leading writers console themselves with
the reflection that Russia will not bring
on a campaign in Central Asia or Persia
when japan is menacing her with a war in
Corea, and when Germany also is in the
friendliest possible relations with England.
There is, however, no positive evidence
that japan is preparing for war, and the
attitude of the German emperor toward
England is puzzling, if not disappointing
to the English court, which has apparen ly
been taking too much for granted. The
kaiser is coming to England, but he has
made it clear that he does not wish to
have too much made of his visit, which is
= private affair, rather than an interna-
tional event.

AGUINALDO Glossy CHASED
HIS SECRETARY WAS CAPTURED
Rebel General Captured-A COrre-
spOndent Says Aguinaldo and His
Army II SurrOunded-They Are
Suffering From Diseases.

Manila, Nov. l4.-General Young is
supposed to have reached San Nicholas,
about 80 miles east Of Dagupan, but his
wagons are far behind.
Colonel Hays has captured Aguinaldos
secretary and Major Coleman is in Car
raglan with an escort Of IT'S Bolomen on
his way to the province of Nueva Visaya.
"A son of General Llarneras and his
family are prisoners. The general barely
escaped.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press with General Young telegraphs
from San Jose that Aguinaldo did not
escape to the northwest.
He and his army, the correspondent
adds, are surrounded.
His last orders to the Filipino COM
mander at San Jose were to hold San
Jose and Carragian at all costs.
The recent encounters were too one
sided to be called fighting. The insur-
gents are MORALLY afraid of the Ameri-
cans. However strong their position,
they make but brief and feeble resist
ance and run when the terrible American
yell reaches their ears, whereupon the
Americans pursue and slay them. The
moral effect of the news that 10000
troops are on their way here has been un-
questionably great.
The insurgents are suffering more from
disease than from Americans, owing to
poor food, lack Of medicines and filthy
hospital, with the result that there is
great mortality among them.
General Lawton has intercepted telc.
gram from an insurgent captain to Fill
pino general reading:
"How can you blame me for retreating
when only IL of my company were able
