The war with the Filipinos seems
to be assuming a definite shape,
The correspondent Of tbs Associat-
ed Press telegraphs from San Jose
November 18th that Aguinaldo did
not escape to the northeast, but that
his army is surrounded; and that
Colonel Hayes has captured Agui-
naldo's secretary and seven officers
together with about IT'S bolomen
who were transporting Aguinaldo's
property north over the mountains.
Otis dispatches from Manila
November 18th that MacArthur's
Advanced Thirty-sixth volunteers
and cavalry under Bell have enter
ed Tarlac; and that the soldiers at
all stations are IN good condition
although they have performed most
severe service, while the Insurgents
are weak, sick, out Of provisions,
and mortally afraid Of the Amer
leans.
Various unauthentic reports are
continued as to the British Boer
contest, but it seems definite that
neither has been meeting with any
alarming successes or defeats late
ly. 1t appears that the Beers have
begun, il they did not before, to see
that every days delay of action on
their part is against them for the
British are rapidly collecting at the
different serious points, and are
making earnest efforts at Lady
smith, Mafeking and Kimberly.
A special dispatch from Durham
November 9th states that the Beers
suffered a severe defeat at Lady
smith that morning, but no details
were given.
1t is generally thought that the
Beers chances are gone and that
the turning tide has como since the
British have and appear to be able
yet to protect themselves until sufh-
cient aid arrives.
Chicago, Nov. 10-August Beck
er the German butcher who on Jan
uary It'll last, murdered his wife,
Rachel, and afterwards chopped UP
and boiled the remains in order to
dispose Of them, WAS hanged i'll the
county jail this afternoon. Beck
er's neck was not broken by the fall
and it was is minutes before he
was pronounced dead.
On the scaifold Becker protested
his innocence and declared George
Sutterly, the father OF his second
wife, was the real murderer.
The case of Becker is very much
like that of Luetgert; both the con-
demned men were butchers, aud
the motive and manner of ommit-
ting the crimes were almost iden-
teal.
The Dalles, Or, Nov 11.-This
morning at 6 o'clock J. Ii. Brown
went home in an intoxicated con-
dition and quarrclled with his wife
lie knocked her down and then
drew a pocket knife aud stab
bed her five times in the back and
} neck. The woman is not expected
to live as one thrust of the knife
penetrated the lungs and the blade
= of the weapon was rusty. Blood
, poisoning is feared. The officers
found Brown in bed, sleeping of
his debauch and now have him in
) jail Statesman.
The election returns have been
verified by later reports to stand
about as we gave them last week
from The Statesman. Kentucky
has and is yet experiencing some
trouble but the republicans will
very likely carry Taylor through.
The results of the election seems
to be satisfactory to the old .line
parties and they each think it'is an
index to their forthcoming success
in 1900.

Ity has authorized the issuance Of a
