CROKER SAILS FOR EUROPE.
Before Departing He Says Few
Words in Regard to Politics.

New York, Nov. 29.-Richard Croker
has sailed for Europe on the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse. Before taking his
departure for the other side of the At
lantic Mr.. Croker volunteered to say a
few words in regard to national poll
ties, and among other things said:
There is not an iota of truth in the
report that I have held several confer
ences with former Senator Arthur Pue
German and Governor elect Smith, of
Maryland, for the purpose of devising
means to prevent the denomination Of
William ]. Bryan next year for the
Presidency.
81 don't know where such a story
could have originated" Mr.. Croker
said, but I will say right here before
my departure for Europe that William
]. Bryan will be the standard bearer Of
the Democratic party in the next Ma
tional campaign.
"The fight will be made against
trusts and Imperialism and Mr.. Bryan
is the only man to lead such a fight.
"Tammany Hall will give him its
heartiest support, you may rest as
sured of that"

Under General Young, Are Still In
Hot Pursuit.

Washington, Nov. "a despatch re-
ceived by the War Department fr, m
General Otis contains meagre informa-
tion about the pursuit of Aguinaldo
According to General Otiss advices,
Aguinaldo is heading for Bangued, a
town in the mountain district that be-
gins just east of the west coast. Ban
gued is in bend of the Abra River a
stream of some Importance, which runs
into the sea at Vis3n, a seaport town
to which General Otis makes reference.
1t is probable that Aguinaldo is follow
ing the military road, which runs close
to the west coast.
To reach Bangued he will be obliged
to leave this highway and strike east
ward. This he will probably be obliged
TO do soon, if he has not already done
so, as General Young is hot on his
tracks The despatch from Gen. Otis
confirms the understanding that the in
surrectionary army has gone to pieces.
