CLOSING IN ON INSURGENTS
4 UINALDO IND HIS ARMY ARE
 REPORTED SURROUNDED.
His Secretary Captured-Tauals Re- treating and Scattering Before Ad- vance of tho Amer Also Thinning Their Ranks.

Manila, Nov. 13.-The correspondent of the Associated Press with General
 Young telegraphs from San Jose that Aguinaldo did not escape to the north east after the capture of Tarlac. He and his army, the correspondent adds, are surrounded His last orders to the Tagal commander at San Jose were to hold San Jose and Caranglan at all cost.
 When Colonel Bell left Capas, ten miles from Tarlac, at 1 o'clock yester- day he intended merely to reconnoiter. He had with him the Thirty-sixth in- fantry Slaven's scouts, troop D Of the Fourth cavalry, battalion of the Twenty-second regiment and gatling guns. The scouts, mounted, preceded the main body up the railroad. They met a hundred rebels ,at Murcia, but the insurgents quickly retreated. The scouts found the depot burning but eX- tinguished the fire and saved the build | ing.
 The main column marched up the wagon road but before reaching Tarlac divided, entering the town on two sides at o'clock without a shot being fired. The insurgents had evacuated the place only few hours before, setting fire to the railway station and the rolling stock. They left rear guard of 400 men, who, however, failed to make stand and cover the retreat of the main force, as they had probably been ordered to do. The Americans are con- tinuing their advance so rapidly that the insurgents have no time to destroy the railroad. General Young is sup posed to have reached San Nicolas, about thirty miles east of Dagupan, but his wagons are far behind. AGUINALDO'S SECRETARY TAKEN
 Colonel Hayes has captured Aguinal dos secretary, and Major Coleman is in Carranglan, with an escort of 175 bolo- men, on his way to the province of Neuva Vizaya. The son of General Llaneras and his family are prisoners. The general barely escaped.
 The recent encounters were too one- sided to be called fights. Tn insurgents are mortally afraid of the Americans, however strong their position. They make but a brief and feeble resistance and run when the terrible American yell reaches their ears, whereupon the Americans pursue them and slay many. The moral effect of the news that 60,000 troops are on their way here has been unquestionably great.
 HEAVY REBEL MORTALITY.
 The insurgents are suffering more from disease than the Americans. ow- ing to poor food. lack of medicines and filthy hospitals. There is great mortal ity among them. General Lawton has intercepted a telegram from an insur- gent captain to a Tagal general, read ing: How can you blame me for re- treating, when oily twelve of my com pany were able to fight?"

TEN MORE SUCCESSFUL.

MT. Agramonte was trying new voices for the Gounod society again last eve ming at the Republican hall. The ap- plicants were heard prior to the general rehearsal and ten of them proved sat isfactory and were admitted to mem bership in the society. The old mem bers were all out last night and the chorus presents an imposing appear ance. The chief event was the singing of the chorus ''Behold God the Lord Passed By" one of the most difficult things in the entire work MT. Agra monte is delighted at the spirited way the society takes up it's task and the facility with which things that were formerly stumbling blocks are now sur mounted. The tremendous difficulty of the works sung the last two seasons has given the society very depend able technic which makes the Eli iah" seem comparatively easy.

Mistakes About Mountains.

Ninety-nine people out of 100 appear
TO be under the impression that Mount
Blanc is in Switzerland. whereas it IS
wholly within the French frontier prov
ince of Haute Savoie. Next, Mount St.
Elias is not the highest mountain in
North America, but the peak. which is
l.j41 fee; higher, named after Sir VIII
liam Logan" founder of the Canadian
geological survey. And what is more,
although SO periodically secuted by
SINE, the:assertion that both mountains
arr in British territory has been con
firmed since 1887 by the Canada-Alaska
boundary survey. And of another
mountain-Ararat: The usual state
ment that this was the place on which
Noah's Ark rested has no foundation in
the Hebrew text, which reads: "On the
mountains of Ararat." Ararat was the
ancient name of a district in eastern
Armenia, and has been used for all Ar.
menia.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Il SPARROW HAWK.
Investigation Proves That the FARM
er Has No Better Friend Than
This Prosecuted Bird.

In many sections the sparrow hawk
is recognized as a true friend of the
farmer, though in others it is included
in the general warfare waged by farm
ers and sportsmen against hawks OF
all descriptions. The value of the spar
row hawk lies in his habit of feeding
on small rodents. lie is a rapacious
bird. and destroys great numbers of
these farm pests; also grasshoppers.
Farmers are slow TO appreciate the
value of birds of prey. If one young
chicken is devoured by a hawk a year,
the whole race is condemned and no
account taken of the 500 mice and
young rats he may eat during that
period. Mr.. w. Il. Hall. of Wakeman,
o., was county clerk while the Ohio
hawk law was in force, and he issued &c
bounty certificates for sparrow hawks
He examined their stomachs and found
them all to contain the remains of
grasshoppers, beetles and meadow
mice; not one held any signs of chick
ems. The Investigations of the depart
ment of agriculture are more on
elusive yet. showing hundreds of mice
against every chicken.

The SmaIlest Horse.

What processes TO be the smallest
recorded specimen of the equine race il
now on view in Milan. 1t is the property
of Marchese Carcano, a ~well-known
horse ~fancier of Lombardy. whose four
finland of Shetland ponies has been the
admiration of his fellow citizens for
some years past. The creature which
the marchese has succeeded in rearing
is said to stand only siN'hands, or 2i
inches. high. We believe that the small
est She:lands seldom are under eight
hands. But this pony is no less re-
markable for its perfect symmetry than
for its minute proportions. The pro-
prietor has a great liking for miniature
horses, contending that they do more
work for their size than an ordinary
horse. and consume much less food. His
fcur-in-hand only costs him Il trifie over
Cd. a day.-London Chronicle.

STORY WITH A LESSON.
How a Trnmp's P~OIiteness Was
by the Sight of q
Model Creamery.

1 will relate an amusing incident l
saw happen in a creamery l visited a
short time ago. writes G.. u. Lawson in
Creamery Journal. The creamery was
as clean and neat as any could be.
There was not a speck of dirt on the
floor or about any of the machinery.
The door opened and a tramp cam"
in with muddy boots on. 1t was rainy
at the time. He made one step on the
inside and stopped, as soon as he saw
the condition of the room. looked at
his muddy feet, look off his hat and
apolOgized for coming in in such a
hurry with so much mud on his feet.
If that creamery had been dirty and
grimy. as some are. hat tramp would
not have stopped at the door and apol-
ogiZed, but would have gone in and
gotten the buttermilk he wanted with
out looking 1t his feet. Brother But
termakcr, do YOU keep your creamery
SO clean that a tramp will stop at the
door, take off his hat and offer an
apology for coming in? If not, try
it and see what a difference it will have
on the looks of the place. and also IN
the quality of the product made.
