Manila. Nov. l4.-Colouel Bells reg
iment and small force of cavalry
entered Tarlac without opposition.
Where Aguinaldo, with his army
the so-called government, has fled is 1
mystery.
Communication with distant points
is impossible, except 10y means of the
government wire, which is crowded
with official business.
General Macarthur has taken Bam-
ban. This is supposed to be the
strongest position held by the Filipinos,
except Tarlae. The brief accounts of
the engagements received indicate that
the rebels fought according to their
recent tactics, retreating after firing a
few volleys. One officer of the Thirty
sixth regiment is the only American
reported killed
1t is thought that Aguinaldo is max
ing an attempt to reach some point on
the coast where he can escape from the
islands.

London, Nov. 12.-Complete silence
has again fallen upon affairs in South
Africa. The British public must per-
force be content with the brief, stereo.
typed report which the censor allows
to filter through from Cape Town.
That this condition of affairs is no
longer due to pressure of work or de-
fective cables has been amply proved.
The Eastern Telegraph company
reckons that the real delay in transmits,
sion is about two days. 1t is evident,
therefore, that the censorship is respon.
sible for the other two days of delay
which seems TO befall all the dis.
patches.
Moreover, the Daily Telegraph an.
nounces that its appropriated" dis.
patch from Ladysmith, dated Monday,
which the war Office published on Tues,
day, was not delivered in Fleet street
until yesterday morning. 1t is be.
lieved that the war office received fur.
Their dispatches last evening, but moth.
ing has been published.

CONTEST IN kenruckY.
Both Parties Claim the Election and Charge
the Other with Fraud.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. IA confusion
Of claims and counter claims to quiet
which the official count, or perhaps
contest before the Legislature. viii be
necessary, is all that is left of Tues
days election. Above it all vehement
cries of fraud, committed or contem-
plated, are heard Each side claims
the election of its ticket by plurality
Of about 1000, and presents figures to
back up the claim. The figures in
some counties vary widely, and it is
impossible to tell which side, if either,
has accurate returns.
Chairman Long of the Republican
campaign committee when asked for
an estimate OF the vote on the guberna.
torial race, said: Il have no estimate
to give, but | can furnish the actual
figures On the face of the returns
Taylor's plurality is 4I36 All the pre-
cincts have been heard from. Twelve
counties are not official, including the
returns from Kenton and Breathitt,"
A special from Frankfort quotes Gov.
Bradley as saying Taylor has been
elected by at least 10, 900 majority, and
he will be the next Governor of Ken
lucky"
On the other hand returns from
Democratic sources show a plurality
on the face of the returns of about 2OOC
for Goebel. This they claim is to be
affected by returns from some missing
precincts where the Democrats can
! hardly do worse than break even. Mr..
Goebel and Senator Blackburn, in in
terviews at Frankfort, openly charged
/ the Republicans with fraud.
The indications point strongly to a
contest before the Legislature, which
there seems no reasonable DOUBT, will
be controlled by the Democrats. How
they will view the election can not be

WAR ON uINTAA RESERVE.

Duchesne.

Fort Duchesne, Nov. Thames Oh
sen, sheepherder, and a Mexican
have surrendered themselves up to
Capt Guilfoyle, post commander.
They reported fight between the
sheepmen and the Indians on Rock
creek, about forty miles from here.
They say that an Indian by the name
of Mountain Sheep was killed. Olsen
says that when he left the sheepmen
and the indians were still fighting.
Olsen was locked up in the guardhouse.
The Mexican was taken to the hospi-
tai, having been wounded in the arm.
Lieut. Young left this morning with
detachment of sixty soldiers for the
scene of the trouble. 1t is feared here
that the soldiers will arrive too late
to prevent serious trouble, as there
are only six white men there and
about twenty-five Indians.
Every thing is quiet here, and at
White Rocks there are only thirty sol.
iiers left in the post.
A warrant has been issued charging
Olsen with murder. Mountain Sheer
was chief and an important man in
/ the tribe.

AGUINALDO INTHE MOUNTAINS
Forced to Flee From the Valley and Take
Refuge In the Hills.

Washington. Nov. II. - Aguinaldo
has definitely been located at Boam-
bang about seventy-fve miles north
east of Tarlac, in which case the sew
eral forces under Generals Macarthur,
Lawton, Young and Wheaton would
have had him practically surrounded.
1t is expected the insurgent capital
will be shifted to Boambang, and the
efforts of the American military forces
will be directed toward that point. 1t
is in the noun famous country of the
north and apparently out of the fertile
and populous region where Aguinaldo
thus far has conducted his operations.
1t is said to be accessible from the south
by way of only one route, along a river
which is branch of the Rio Grande.
This leaves the rebel leader little or no
opportunity of communicating with
the coast or getting in supplies. He
has also left the railroad behind.
1t is said at the war department that
the columns of General Young and
General Wheaton will push on to the
north, following up the iusurgent
leader and his scattered bands.

British at Ladysmith Not Sc Desperate -
Earlier Dispatches Indicated.
London, Nov. lO-The Beers have met
serious reverses at Ladysmith. General
Sir GEORGE Stewart White sent strong
force of cavalry and infantry to attack
the Beers at Tatham's farm, about ten
miles to the northwest, near Besters,
and apparently achieved = surprise;
the Beers being caught on the open
veldt and cut to pieces and their camp
captured. Encouraged by this success
General White decided to risk an even
more important engagement, which
was again justified by success.
Ladysmith has been isolated and a
Boer force has intercepted the railway
between Ladysmith and Colenso. This
force on Friday had descended upon
Colenso, and, as shown by the dis
patches from Estcourt, had compelled
a hurried abandonment Of Colenso and
a retirement of the British to Estcourt
General White had ascertained that
the Beers were attacking Colenso, but
he was not aware of the British retire
ment. He had determined. therefore,
to attack the Beers in the rear, thus
hoping to achieve the double object of
drawing off an attack upon the weak
garrison of Colenso and possibly of re-
opening communication southwark.
The Beers had advanced southwark
until they had occupied the hills north
of Tugela river and dominating Colenso
on the other side OF the stream. The
hills slope to a pain that reaches to
the banks o! the Tugela.
General Whites division caught the
Beers in the rear, and after the hills
had been shellcd the British infantry
stormed the position. Meanwhile the
British cavalry swept round the hills
and as the retrcating enemy descended
behind and the river 10 front OF them
they were charged by the cavalry and
seem to have per!shcd almost to man
The British then returned TO Lady
smith without coming into touch witt
the Colenso garrison, which had re
tired to Estcourl.
In short time endorsements will
be arriving, when it IS expected the
tide will be altogether in favor of thu
British.

HOPE TO CATCH AoUINALDo.
Americans Believe He Is Trying to Es-
cape From Luzon.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Great inter-
est is felt in the war department over
Aguinaldo's sudden change of base
northeastward from Tarlac to Bayom-
bong, about seventy-fve 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 region to the north where the
Tagalo is not spoken and where the
mountains and valleys are filled with
Wegritos and other savage tribes who
are hostile to the Tagalos. This is
about the most mountainous and mac
cessible cart of the island,
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 nav
igable for our tinclad boats $50 miles
from its mouth and for canoes much
further.
Il 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 Aparri
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
hideand-seek in the hills for the great
er part of the coming season.
