AGUINALDO LOCATED.
War Department Now Has Him At
Boambang.

Boambang.
Washington, November 9.-1he war
department definitely located Aguinaldo
today as on hia way to the town Of Boam-
bang, about 70 miles northeast OF Tariac.
The recent calculations have been that
ths insurgsnt leader was at the town OF
Bayambang not far from Tarlac, In
which case the several forces under Gems.
Macarthur, Lawton. Young and Wheaton
wouli have had him practically sur
rounded. There has been some doubs,
however, as to the name Bayambang, and
today this was cleared up by definite In
formation fixing Boambang instead Of
yam bang as the place OF Aguinaldo's
refuge. A dispatoh from General Otis
mentioned Boambang and at the same
TIN .. reliable Information came through
| diplomatic 0Aannels that Lieut.. CLINE rs
ana the other An.srioan prisoners were
at Boambang in tine mo~ntains not far to
the northeast OF Tarlac. ltis expected
that the insurgent capital now Will be
shifted to Boam bang and the efforts OF
the American military forces will be d.
rected toward that point 1t Is In ths
noun ntainous country north and apparent
| ly out of the fertile and populous regions.
| Aguinaldo thus far has conducted his
| operations. 1t Ia said to Lee accessible
| from the south only by one route along
the river. This leaves the rstel leader
little or no opportunity Of communicat-
| ing with the const or getting In supplies.
He has also left the railroad behind.
1t Is said at the war department that
column of General Young and Gen.
Wheaton will push on to the north fol-
lowing up the insurgent leader and his
scattered bands.
