HUNDRED PRISONERS
Official Report of the Surrender
of Nueva Viscaya.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The sur
render of Boyombong was official
ly reported to the war Office today
by General Otis in the following
cablegram:
Manila, Dec 3 Have received
report that the insurgents in the
province of Neuva Viscaya sur
rendered on the 2Sth to Lieut..
Moore of the Fourth cavalry. who
commanded the scouts on the trail
of Aguinaldo, comprising 81 men.
"The insurgent general surren-
dered his entire force of 800 men
who were armed with Mausers.
and number of officers. They al
so took 10 Spanish prisoners and
number cf American prisoners.
Signed OTIs.r
The dispatch was the occasion
of considerable mirth as well as
qualification, from the fact that
800 armed insurgents should sur
render to a mere handful of
Moore's men. At no time before
in the Philippine war have so
many prisoners been taken.

METHUEH MAY
Be SURROUNDED.
No News for More Than Twenty
four Hours.
WAR OFFICE is WORRIED.

London, Dec, ,. There has been
no news from General Methuen
now for more than twenty-four
hours and there is great anxiety
here to know what his condition
is at the present time. It's feared
that the Beers have gotten in be-
hind him and cut off his line of
communication.
According to Berlin dispatch
General Belarey's force which has
been operating along the Orange
river, has gone to the northwest
and is cooperating with General
Cronge, and together they have
surrounded Methuen. Another
theory is TO the effect that Methuen
has cut his way through the Beers
and is fastening to the relief of
Kim berley, and that his silence is
caused by his haste to reach Kim
berley.
Some definite information as to
the result of the Modder river en-
gagement would be very acceptable
at the war office, as it could then
be determined whether Methuen
is actually in need of reinforce
ments.
London, Dec. 2. bulletin. The
war Office this afternoon makes
public the total list of casualties
as now reported from the Modder
river engagement on Tuesday, as
follows; killed, rs; wounded, 394

only occasionally rounded by the dying
putfs. By this she had drawn to within
couple of miles of us and was still coming
on. Under our stern there was barely a

our bends and rudder having given place to
an oily fatness filled with tiny eddies,
through which the boat we still lowed slow

anxiety still hampered my spirits, but as
compared with what we had undergone,
we were at heart as light as the filmy mares
tails floating athwart the blue above. And
even now, while tragedy might be lurking
near, there was an element of the ridiculous
in our appearances, too marked not to be
noticed by each of us. The girl, with a

The Coming Winter.

Weather prophets predict that the
coming winter will be a mild one for
the following reasons: The husks on
the corn are thinner than usual, and
this is taken as sure indication of
warm weather until late in the win

first approach Of winter have begun
repairing their nests built last spring,
showing that they will stay in this
region until late in the fall. The fur

is heavy just previous to 3 hard win

In addition to this the persimmous

port was made at the request of the
President, to cover only certain in
Dictated points with reference to the
Philippine question, after the Presi'
dent had been informed of Dewey =
opinion Of OTIS.
Dewey made this statement IN re-
Spouse to en inquiry az to whether
the conflict with the FIlipinos could
have been avoided:

statement to the President.
