HOPE TO CATCH AGUINALDo.
Americans Believe He Is Trying to
Escape From Luzon.

Washington, Nov 1O.-Great interest
is felt in the war department over
Aguinaldo's sudden change of base
northeastward from Tarlac to Bayon-
bong, about seventy-five miles distant.
There are numerous spellingS of the
latter place, but the foregoing is the
one generally adhered to on the maps
in possession of the war department.
The most interesting feature of the
new situation is that Aguinaldo has
been forced out of the TagalO country
into a region to the north where the
TagalO is not spoken and where the
mountains are filed with Wegritos and
other savage tribes who are hostile to
the TagalOs. This is about the most
mountainous and inaccessible part of
the island
To the south base of CarabelIo noun
tain there is a narrow break in the
mountain range and within a few miles
around the base of Carabello mountain
on its northern slope one strikes the
headquarters of the Mogo. which is
the beginning of the great river Cayu-
gan that flows nOrthward $50 miles into
the China sea.
1t is on the headwaters of the Mogot
that Aguinaldo is now located. The
way is open for him down the long
stretch of the river to APART at the
mouth of the Cayugan where it flows
into the sea. This is one of the Wild
est but richest valleys in the island. 1t
is believed the river Cayugan is
navigable for our tinclad boats $50
miles from it's mouth and for canoes
much farther.
1t is expected as soon as Aguinaldo
shows any disposition to move down
the valley toward the China sea that
warships and gunbOats Will be sent
round the northern end of the island to
meet him, and cut off his escape
If it is his intention to escape from
Luzon he would naturally seek Apart
or some northern port but the country
around Carabello mountain is such that
he could probably stand off the whole
American force in a game of hide-and-
seek in the hills for the greater part of
the coming season.

lowed by continuous succession OF
troop-laden ships, the real campaign in
South Africa may be said to have COM
menced and the fact that the first ship
named was expected TO have arrived at
Durham forthwith indicates at least a
modification of the plan of advance.
1t seems that General Buffers first
move viii be TO General White, thus
somewhat departing from the earlier
plan of advancing through the level
country of the Orange Free State and
southwestern Transvaal. 1t has been
apparent for some days that the situa-
ton at Ladysmith could not be indeii-
nitely prolonged, and il is understood
that information has reached the gov
eminent to the effect that quiescence
of the Beers will shortly be changed
by the arrival of the siege train from
Pretoria into determined attack to
deliver a telling stroke This. it is adj
ded, led General Butler to prepare a
counter stroke and endeavor to push
the Beers back by a direct attack.
Such an operation. if attempted. will
necessarily entail great expenditure of
life, as during the month the Beers
have occupied northern Natal, they
have forfeited most OF the passes and
other positions suitable to their style
of fighting.
While the pigeon dispatch of General
White shows the beleaguered garrison
was holding its own yesterday. it is
feared here that the silence regarding
what the British artillery was doing in
reply To Boer guns indicates that the
dread that General White is short of
long range ammunition is not alto
gether groundless.
If this is true the reported further

WIFE BUTCHER HANGED.
August Becker Dies On the Scaffold
In Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-August Becker, the
murdered his wife, Rachael, and after
wards chopped up and boiled the re-
mains in oroer to dispose of them, was
hanged in the county Jail at 1906
o'clock this afternoon. Becker's neck
was not broken by the fall, and it was
sixteen minutes before he was pro-
nounced dead.
On the scaffold Becker protested his
innocence, and declared George Suffer-
lin, the father of his second wife, was
the real murderer.
The case of August Becker in many
ways bore a remarkable similarity TO
that of Adolph Luetgert- Both of the
condemned men We're butchers, and the
motive for the crime was the same in
both cases, the desire to get rid of the
wife in order to marry younger wo-
man. The manner of committing the
crimes was also much the same, both
men, according to the testimony. being
extremely brutal in the killing, and
both using the same means to dispose
of the body, by boiling and burning.
1t was proven at Becker's trial that
after killing his wife he had chopped
her body to pieces, then boiled the re-
mains on his kitchen stove, afterward
burying the remains in various places.
AS in the case of Luetgert, the rings
of the murdered wife played no small
part in the testimony leading to con-
viction. Like Luetgert also, Becker en-
deavored TO cover his crime by saying
his wife eloped with another man.
Becker made several confessions. In
his first statement he said he had
drowned his wife in Lake Michigan.
Later he endeavored to implicate in the
crime the father of the woman whom
he married after numbering his first
wife. and to the last he stuck to this
version
