Manila, Oct. 81.-General Young,
with the infantry, is advancing upon
Cabanatuan under difficulties. The
country is furTowed with rivers and
deep rayines, the bridges over which
have been destroyed; the mud is deep,
rations are short, and the transporta-
ton of supplies has been delayed by
low water, and the poor condition of
the roads. There are sufficient stores,
however, to keep the brigade. The in
surgents for long time have lived off
the country, impoverishing it. The
American horses are not yet accus-
toned to the native grass and long
bullock train left San Fernando carry
ing hay for the cavalry.
The Spaniards report that there are
no insurgents at Cabanatuan. The
gunboat Laguna de Bay dispersed q
force of rebels who were engaged in
constructing trenches beyond Santa
Rosa. The boat was fired upon by n
party of insurgents bearing white
flag. She is now aground.
Numbers OF Chinese are coming to
Angeles from Tarlac, paying the insur-
gents for the privilege. 1t is reported
that Aguinaldo and the Filipino con-
gress are still at Tarlac.
There are about 5000 insurgents be-
fore Angeles. They have been quiet
for the past week.
Two thousand rebels are at Bamban,
five miles to the north.

inspection of the transports Pennsyl-

thing in such good condition that there
is no reason to delay the sailing of the

From private information received
from Manila, it is learned that Major

absence, and will return to this post
Major Wygant served through the en-

been ordered, in the hope of affording

HOSTILE TO HIS ORDERS.
AaerIcan Naval Governor Forced Friars
to Leave Guam.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The navy
department today received a report
from Captain Leary. the naval COVER
nor OF the island OF Guam, in the La
drones. The president himself has
read the report, his interest being par
ticularly attracted by the disclosure Of
the fact that the first American gover-
nor of an island has already been
obliged to adopt heroic measures to in
sure the proper administration of affairs
there.
Leary soon learned his authority as
governor was being subverted and every
measure of reform which he proposed
was being defeated by the hotsile in
fluence of friars. They resisted every
decree, in the belief that any disturb
ance of the order OK things which gov-
erned the island for so many years
would cause them to lose their hold
upon the natives.
After exhausting all other means to
overcome this influence, Leary reports
he was obliged to notify half dozen
friars that they might have free trans
portation from the island and he should
expect them to avail themselves of the
offer.
They left. But one friar is in the is
land and he was a man of such charac-
ter and reputation as to convince Leary
of his fitness to remain.

BURNED AT SEA.
Destruction 0s the George u. Stets0n on
the Coast of FOrmosa.


San Francisco, Oct. 90.-Mrs. P. w.
Patton, the wife of Captain Patton,
whose vessel, the American ship George
B. Stetson, was burned at sea off the
coast of Formosa about two months
ago, has just arrived here, and tells a
graphic story of the destruction of the
vessel She was the only woman
aboard.
81 did not understand at first when
the alarm was given," said Mrs. Pat
ton, "but moment later my husband
came into the cabin and told me to
hurry and clothe the baby and myself
for trip in an open boat. By the
time was clothed and reached the
deck, the flames had got aft as far as
the mainmast, and the rigging almost
above my head was all ablaze.
"The longboat was in the water long
side with eight of the crew. Just as
| got into the boat there was loud
roar and the skylight and roof of the
cabin were lifted off by an explosion of
the gases that had formed in the room
aft. A moment later the whole ship
was mass of flames, and as we pulled
away the mainmast fell. A few min.
utes later there was sudden roll, and
the ship went down.
1.-Two days and two nights we were
in that boat. About noon of the Sec
ond day we saw land and that evening
we landed on the little island of Ii Pin
Tsen, which was taken from the Chi.
nese by the japanese during the recent
war. We landed at small village of
the natives and the baby and l we're
the greatest curiosities the natives had
ever seen.
The George B. Stetson was bound
from Portland, Or, for Tien Tsin, with
a cargo of railroad lumber, in COM
mand of Captain Patton. She had a
crew of 90 men. On the evening of
September 10, off the east coast of For
mosa, smoke was discovered coming up
out of the forepeak Captain Patton
tried to rally his crew, but they were
panic-stricken, and paid no heed to dis
cipline. The boats were launched to
save them from burning.
From the island the survivors OF the
Stetson went to Nagasaki in small
Japanese steamer.
