eral. Mrs. Logan was Frustrated by

of her husband, and her physician will
not allow her to be seen. She had ex-
pected to spend the winter with her
children in the South of France, and

Where Is Aggye
Manila, Nov. 16.-The whereabouts
OF Aguinaldo and his army and cabi-
net is a perfect enigma. Gen. Otis
has learned that Aguinaldo recently
issued proclamation transferring the
capital to Bcngabong, giving as q
reason for the step the unsanitary
condition Of Tarlac.
1t is supposed that the leaders of the
instruction who are not already AZ
Bongabong are retreating to that
place. though when they left Tarlac,
whether they are travelling with the
army. how many soldiers they We're
able to hold together, and whether the.
leaders or the troops have got beyond
Gen. Lawton's line, are all unknown.
1t is hoped. however, that Gen.
Wheaton has effected junction with
Gen. Young. forming Gordon from
San Fabian to San Isidro.
Gen. Lawton has 5000 men, Gen.
Wheaton 2,7OO-a small force to con-
troll so many miles, but it commands
the main roads by which the insur-
gents must move to the northeast.
With the Americans advancing at the
present rate they should drive the in
surgeEts from Bangabong in fort
night, and it is impossible for the reb-
els to establish another capital i'll Lu-
ION which cannot he captured within
q month
Insurgents Apparently Ratified.
The rapid approach of the Americans
was complete surprise to the insur-
gents. as the latter expected them to
move slowly. as they did from Manila
to Angeles. The Filipinos thought it.
impossible for the Americans to make
Roadway in the mud which prevailed
| everywhere. and the sudden invasion
astounds the natives along the line Of
Gen. YouEgs march, who had been
told that the Americans were confined
to the suburbs Of Manila.
4 majority Of the natives welcome
the army enthusiastically, hut some,
who have been delued by stories Of
American cruelty, hid in the swamps:
women. who are unable to fee, fall
| upon their knees. unfolding crucifixes.
and begging to be spared. When the.
| news spread that the Americans in
tended to remain and establish order
the population flock to their homes,
bringing With them their cattle and
household gooCs.
A Sharp Engagement.
Manila. Nov. 16.-The F,rty-th!rd in

hours engagements of tie war with
al equal force Of insurgents a few
miles from San Fabian on Saturday
