rre.. Censor at cnnetown.

London, Nov. le.-Complete silence
has again fallen upon affairs In South
Africa. The British public must per.
force be content with tho brief, stereo.
typed report which the censor allows
to filter through from Cape Town.
That this condition OF affairs Is no
longer due to pressure OF work or de-
fectiye cables has been amply proved.
The Eastern Telegraph company
rcckons that the real delay In transmits.
sion Is about two days. IL is evident,
therefore, that the censorship is respon.
sible for the other two days OF delay
which seems to befall all the dis
patches.
Moreover, the Daily Telegraph AN
nounces that its "inappropriated" dis
patch from Ladysmith, dated Monday,
which the war Office published on Tues
day, was not delivered in Fleet street
until yesterday morning. IL is be.
lieved that the war office received fur,
ther dispatches last evening, but moth

northeastward from Tarlac TO Bayom.
bong. about sevcnty-fve miles distant.
There are numerous spellings of the
latter place, but the foregoing Ia the
one generally adhered TO on the maps
in possession of the war department
The most interesting feature OF the
new situation is that Aguinaldo has
been forced out Of the Tngalo country
into a region TO the north where the
Tagalo is not spoken and where the
mountains Snd valleys are filled with
wegritos and other savage tribes who
are hostile to the Tagalos. This is
about the most mountainous and mac
cessible cart OF the island,
II Is on the headwaters OF the Mogot
that Aguinaldo is now located. The
way is open for him down the long
stretch OF the river to APART at the
mouth OF the Cayugan where 1t flows
into the sea This IL one Of the Wild
est but richest valleys in the island.
II ia believed the river cayugan Is nav
igable for our tinclad boats 100 miles
from Its mouth and for canoes much
| further.
1t is expected as soon as Aguinaldo
shows any disposition to move down
the valley toward the China sea that
warships and gunboats will be sent
round the northern end OF the island
TO meet him and cut of his escape.
II II is his intention TO escape ffom
Luzon he would naturally seek APART
or some northern port but the country
around Carabello mountain Is such
that he could probably stand of the
whole American force in a game OF
hide.and.seek In the hills for the great
err part Of the coming season.
