21st, from Lawton, at Tayug, reports
Young. with cavalry and Macabebe
scouts, at Aringay with the advance
ncrth to Boang, rear at San Fernando,
about to move on the trail east to

Doesn't Show AguinnIdo's Capture
The dispatch from Gen. Otis does no,
yet make it appear that the efforts tc
capture Aguinaldo and the larger por.
ton OF his army will be successful
The intention of Gen. Young to pre-.
vent Aguinaldo reaching Bayonbopg
seems evident, but this seems scarcely
probable now. Some errors have been
made in the transmission of the dis
pntch. Bayonbong is evidently meant,
instead Of Bayombong. The town Civ
ell as Tarlann is probably Tarlac, as
the situation of Macarthur would indi-
cate that he is operating not far from
that place.

Mr.. Hobart's Wealth.
Regarding Mr.. Hobart's wealth. it is
related that shortly after the election
of 1896, in reply to questions by
friends, he said that he could only give
guess; that he was connected with
great many concerns and director in
over sixty. If his stock could be dis
posed of for what it was worth, he
thought it would bring between two
and three million dollars, while, at a
sacrifice sale, it would not amount to
half that. The life insurance policies
on Vice-President Hobart's life aggre-
gated about $350,000. One company
alone had issued a policy on his life
for 100000.
