TARLAC TAKEN.
Col. Bells Regiment and Small Force
of Cavalry Met No Opposition.
Gen. LawtOn's Headquarters is stin at Ca
banatun-The Whereabouts of Gen.
Young, With Cavalry and In
fantry, Not known.

MANILA, Nov. 13-Col. Bells regi.
ment and a small force of cavalry en-
tered Tarlac Saturday night without
opposition. Where Aguinaldo, with
his army and the so-called govern
ment have fed, is a mystery.
Gen. Macarthur and Gen. Lawton
closed in on Tarlac. Communication
with distant points is impossible ex-
cept by means of the government wire,
which is crowded with official business.
Gen. Macarthur took BAN ban Sat-
urday. This is supposed to be the
strongest position held by the Filipi-
nos except Tarlac.
The brief accounts of the engagement
received indicate that the rebels
fought according to their recent tao
tics, retreating after firing a few vol
legs. One officer of the Goth regiment
is the only American reported killed.
Gen. Macarthur began his advice at
daylight. Col. Smith with the nth reg
iment on the right, Maj. Halls com
mand and the Both on the left and the
9th in the center.
Col. Smith encountered a small force
at 6 o'clock Saturday easily dispensing
the rebels. Maj. Bell secured po-
sition on the mountain from which he
poured an enfllading fire from rifles
and Hotchkiss guns upon the first line
| of the enemy's trenches. The Fill.
pinos stood the fire for 90 minutes and
| then retreated to the mountains. Gen.
| Macarthur entered Bamaban at 10
o'clock Saturday and Col. Smith occu.
pied Capas the first town beyond.
Gen. Lawton's headquarters il still
at Cabanatun.
Gen. Young, with his cavalry and in.
fantry, is still pushing ahead through
the fearful mud, but his exact where
abouts is not known.
When Col. Bell left Capas, ten miles
from Tarlac, at 1 o'clock Saturday he
intended merely to reconnoiter. He
had with him the 36th infantry
Slaven's scouts, troop E, of the Att
cavalry, a battalion of the 22d regi
ment and Calling guns.
The scouts, mounted, preceded th'
main body up the railroad. They me
hundred rebels at Murcia, but tn,
insurgents quickly retreated. Th'
scouts found the depot burning, bu
extinguished the fire and saved the
building.
The main column marched up tn,
wagon road, but before reaching Tar
lac divided, entering the town on tw,
sides at o'clock without shot being
fired The insurgents had vacuateC
the place only few hours before, set
ting fire to the railway station and tn
rolling stock.
They left rear guard of 400 men
who, however, failed to make a stan,
and cover the retreat of the main fore
of insurgents, as they had probably
been ordered to do.
The rebel ordnance is reported t.
have been shipped to the town O
O'Donnell.
The Americans are continuing thei
advance SO rapidly that the insurgent
have not the time necessary to destro
the railroad.

Perfect Confidence.

Perfect confidence is desirable between
couples engaged to be married, but it is not
always that the young woman has as fine
an opportunity to establish it as did Nor
ristown belle, to whom a wealthy bachelor
had been paying assiduous attention. After
worrying her a good deal about how many
young men had been in love with her, and
how many she had been attached to, he
asked her to marry him, adding:

tween us. Keep nothing concealed from

SCRYNSER TALKS CABLE.
HE DOUBTS THE WISDOM OF A
GOVERNMENT LINE.
Speaks of the Complications Liable to
Arise at Any Time in the Far
East

James A. Scrymser ms been talking
Pacific cable i'm New York. The San
Francisco Bulletin under date of Feb
ruary II, thus reports him:
Il have observed that a third Sug-
gestion has been made-that there
should be combination Government
and corporation line between the
United States and the Philippines
This, l understand, has been favored
by the American-Hawaiian Commits
sioners, namely, United States Gov
ernment cable line to Honolulu and an
American corporation cable to the
Philippines, China, Japan and Austria
liza. This latter scheme would be a
case of putting private capital be-
tween the devil and the deep sea-
Mr. Scrymser went on to explain
how the Eastern Telegraph Co., an
English corporation, by reason of
vested rights, would have a monopoly,
as far as telegraphic cables are con-
cerned, of the entire Asiatic coast and
all Pacific Islands now owned by
Spain or formerly under the jurisdlc-
ton of that country until the year
1910. He was of the opinion that no
American cable company or the Unit
ed States Government could obtain
landing rights in the Ladrones, Phil
| ippines, at Hongkong or at any point
on the Asiatic coast without Obtain
ing the consent of the Eastern Telc-
graph Company.
With reference to the action of the
Secretary of State in disappearing on
| December % last of the rights granted
prior to annexation by the Hawaiian
Government to the Pacific Cable Com
pany, which authorized the company
to lay cables from Honolulu eastward
Mr.. Scrymser said:
at would have afforded a working
basis for an adjustment of landing
rights founded on reciprocity.
1.-The Pacific Cable Comapny is
strongly of the opinion that if it car
secure the necessary concessions from
the United States Government, it car
induce the Eastern Telegraph Com
pany to consider a fair business pro
position, especially when the British
company sees that it will be to its
future advantage"
Mr.. Scrymser was of the opinion
that should the United States under.
take to establish a Government cable
serious international complications
would arise. THE political situation
in the East" said Mr.. Scrymser, lis
exceedingly precarious. No one knows
what may happen there at any mo
ment. The connection with the Phil
ippines may be cut off without no
tice at any time. The japanese real
ize. too. that war between China ano
Russia would isolate them from the
rest of the world, and they are anX
ious that the United States Govern
ment should act promptly.

REMEMBER THE MAINE.
Friction i'm Connection With the An
niversary Observance.

HAVANA, February 12.-The fric-
ton between Commodore Cromwell,
commandant of the naval station, and
Captain Sigsbee will make it impossi-
BILE for the latter or his subordinates
on the Texas to assist in the decora-
ton of the graves of the Names dead
on February Is. This friction is of
the sort that appears little on the sur
face. yet il is so acute that Captain
Sigsbee requested that the Texas
should be sent away from this harbor
temporarily that he might escape the
humiliation which would surely be his
should he be here on the anniversary
of the destruction of his old warship.
The situation has developed so much
feeling that General Lee has decided
not to cooperate with the navy, and
has notified Commodore Cromwell
that his soldiers will bank the graves
in Colon cemetery with flowers after
the sailors and marines conclude the
first ceremony.
