poral captured by the Filipinos has ar
rived here from Tarlac. He says he
saw Aguinaldo accompanied by a
prominent leader and fifteen men, ar
rive at Bayombong during the night of
November 18th, hatless, his clothes
torn and spattered with mud and his
horse exhausted. Aguinaldo, it ap-
pears, rested short time, seemed anX-
ious, consulted with his companions
and the villagers as to the nature OF
the roads, secured fresh horses and
proceeded Immediately toward Man
galaren in Pangasinan province, west
of BayOmbong.
The corporal tells a straight story,
giving minute details. He is con-
vinced he is not mistaken, having seen
Agu naljo several times during recent
months. Aguinaldo, it appears, would
have had time to leave Bayombong No
vember 18th and pass through General
Wheatons lines November 17th
WAR NEARING AN END.
NEW YORK, Nov. PA cable to
the Sun from Manila says: The COM
pIete overthrow of AguinaldO's So
called government, several of whose
officials are now in the hands of the
Americans, confirm the prediction
made fortnight ago that the suppress
sion of the rebellion was a question OF
only very short time. The only
work remaining now is the disposal OF
small bands and will be practically
brigand hunting With the arrival of
new troops the opening of ports will
soon begin.
PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS GIVES
UP
MANILA, Nov. "a, $50 p, m.-Bau-
tista, President of the Filipino Con-
gress, presented himself to General
Macarthur today and formally re-
nounced all further connection with
the insurrection. He was one of the
influential Filipinos who hesitated at
the beginning of the war as to which
side to cast his lot. He was offered a
judgeship of the Supreme Court, but
declined. He now announces that he
desires to accept the position, and says
the Filipino Congress and Cabinet are
Scattered, never to re-assemble. Some
of the members. he adds, have re-
turned to their homes, while others
are flying for safety. Many of the
Congressman have resigned, and he be-
lieves the Filipino soldiers will lay
down their arms everywhere as soon
as they learn the truth.
Bautista says that Senior Mabini, the
Filipino Minister of Foreign Affairs, is
the cause of the resistance to the
Americans. Mabini has a great scheme,
which is really pure nonsense, for the
liberation of the Malay races under the
leadership of the Filipinos.

ward Buencamino separated from

his escort were killed and he lost So

name If this is true Ger eral Young

ber Goth with a troop OF cavalry and
