Abandons the Effort to Cap

Filipino Leader Headed Southwark

Campaigning Tells on March's Men
Twenty Per Cent. Are Disabled

Manila, Dec. 1S.-Maj. Peyton G.
March, of the Thirty-third infantry,
has abandoned his pursuit Of Aguinal-
do, and has reached Bagnen, in the
heart of the Grand Cordillera, where
the range is 10000 feet high, and where
food is scarce and travel almost i'm
possible.
From native couriers and Spanish
prisoners it was learned that Aguinaldo
left Bontoc, in the province Of the
same name, with three women and
two soldiers, three days ago, and head
ed southwark, evidently for Bayom-
bong, in the province of Nueva Vizcaya,
where it is thought he may encounter
the Americans.
Maj March's command was depleted
20 per cent. by the two days march
from Cervantes to Bagnen, so he re-
turned to Cervantes December 10.
Scattered bands of Macabebes which
have been operating in the north are
being collected with the intention of
sending them back to Manila, as there
is much sickness among them and they
are unfit for further mountain work.
Lieut.. Chadwick and a correspond
ent of the press, the latter commanding
80 Macabebes, have visited the noun
tain town of Pamposa and received the
surrender of a company of insurgents,
including three officers, with their arms
and ammunition.
Gen. Conception and other Filipino of
fcers who have surrendered have been
taken to Vigan. Conception, who is
cheerful, insists that the insurgent or
ganization will be maintained, even in
the districts where the Americans are
operating, also claiming that the Fill
pino leaders can use their troops when
ever they desire.
He suggests that the only method of
terminating the war is the capture of
Aguinaldo and the obtaining of an or
der from him for the troops to sur
render their arms. But, Conception be-
ieves, Aguinaldo will never be cap
tured.
Dispatch from Otis,
Washington, Dec. 1S.-Gen. Otis ca
bled as follows Saturday,:
Manila, Dec. 16.-On the 9Th inst. Gen.
Smith, at Negros, reported that early Tn
December a number of the inha bitants of
four coast towns entered the mountains,
believing the statements of Panay and Lu-
zon agents that the Americans had been
overwhelmingly defeated in those islands,
that Aguinaldo was about to dictate terms
Of peace and the American congress to
confer peace, when the established civil
government of the island would be over
thrown. They also were told that all
Negros were about to rise and drive out
the Americans. No depredations were
committed, and no consequences of impor-
tance apprehended."
Brooklyn Wins Race

Undisturbed, However, by an Unfavor'
able Money Situation.
Bradstreet's says: General trade in
wholesale and manufacturing lines IS
ouieting down, but it is worth noting.
It is undisturbed by the money situa.
ton, the influence of which has been
confined to speculative circles. Hon-
day trade, on the other hand, has been
given q decided impetus, and comparl'
sons with the same period of preceding
wears are uniformly favorable, little
doubt remaining that although retail
trade in seasonable lines has been al
fected in some localities by unfavor-
able weather, holiday specialties have
enjoyed exceptional activity. AS re-
CARDS prices, it is a notable fact that
as many staples have advanced this
week as there have declined, while by
far the larger number of quotations
have remained steady or firm. The
strength of textiles lie still a most nota-
BILE feature of the general situation.
Cotton goods are hetvily sold ahead
by agents, and very large spring bust
ness has already been booked. Raw
cotton is firm and unchanged on the
week, partly owing to the light re-
ceipts and to reaf1irmation of short
crop estimated by the department OF
agriculture. Manufactured goods,
where not advanced, are firmly held.
Wheat, including -four. shipments
for the week aggregate $3.50, $40 bush
els, against 5,133.s31 bushels last
week, 6,243, 659 bushels in the corre-
spending week last year, 4, 464, 399
bushels in 1897, 3,524,s26 bushels in
1896 and 2,O56,O43 bushels in 1895.
Since July l this season, the exports OF
