BANK SWINDLERS CAUGHT.
Gang Captured In New York includes
Alonzo Whiteman.

Gang Captured I'm New York Includes
Alonzo Whiteman.
New York, Nov. 15.-In the arrest
Of four men in New York and one in
Pittsburg a dangerous and successful
gang of bank swindlers has been bro
ken up. They were rounded up after
being watched for several months. The
prisoners are: Alonzo J. Whiteman, 80
years old, of Danville, N. Y, the al
legged head of the gang. He is a grad
uate of Columbia Law school, and at
one time was "a prominent Minnesota
politician. Frank Edmunds, 40 years
Of age, clerk, of New York. John
Thompson, alias William Hartley,
alias Z. LawtOn, alias DR.. George w.
Johnson, 81 years of age, residence un-
known. Robert j. Knox, AZ years of
age, lawyer, of New York.
1t is impossible to give an accurate
estimate of the total amount of their
thefts, but enough is known to war;
rant the statement that within eight
cen months they have divided at least
100000. Under the crafty leadership
Of Alonzo Whiteman the men have
travelled from San Francisco to Bos-
ton, and their operations have result
ed In heavy losses to banks in nearly
every large city in the west. Alonzo
j. Whiteman is well known in Chi
cago, where, it is said, he was active
In politics. The prisoners were ar
raigned before Magistrate Mayo in the
Center street police court and were
remanded at the request of Captain
McClusky, who wished to hear from

CANNOT LOCATE AGUINALDO.
Tho Whereabouts of the Rebel Leader 1
an Enigma.

IN
Manila, Nov. 14.-The whereabouts
Of Aguinaldo and his army and cabinet
Is perfect enigma. General Otis
has learned that Aguinaldo recently
issued a proclamation transferring the
capital to Bongabong, giving as a rea-
son for the step the unsanitary condi-
ton of Tarlac.
1t Is supposed that the leaders of the
instruction who are not already at
BongabOng are retreating to that
place, though when they left Tarlac,
whether they are travelling with the
army, how many soldiers they are able
to hold together, and whether the
leaders or the troops have got beyond
General Lawton's line are all unknown
1t is hoped, however, that General
Wheaton has effected a junction with
Young, forming a Gordon from San Fa-
bian to San Isidro.
General Lawton has 5000 men and
General Wheaton 2,700-a small force
to control so many miles, but it COM
mands the main roads by which the
insurgents must move to the northeast.
With the Americans advancing at the
present rate they could drive the in
surgents from Bongabong in a fort
night; and 1t is impossible for the reb-
els to establish another capital in Luz
zon which cannot be captured within
q month.

FRIGHTFUL SCENE AT SEA.
Three Hundred and Fifty Horses Killed
During Terrible Storm.

Three Hundred and Fifty Horses Killed
During a Terrible Storm.
San Francisco, Nov. 14.-Additional
particulars Of the terrible trip Of the
transport Siam from this port to Ma
Mia have been received here. The
Siam left here on Aug. 10 with near
400 persons of the army in the Philip
pines. All went well between here
and Honolulu, where a stop Of ten
days gave the horses an opportunity
to recover from the voyage. The ves-
sci left Honolulu on Sept. 6 and on the
18th ran into a typhoon, losing three
horses. Good weather followed until
Oct. when a terrific typhoon was en-
countered near Guam island, four days
from Manila. The storm broke at
o'clock in the morning and at the first
roll of the vessel the horses stampeded.
Wave after wave crashed over the
decks Of the steamer, throwing the
animals about, breaking their legs and
otherwise manning them. The scene
was frightful and it was impossible
for the men on the ship to do any.
thing with the terrified horses. The
vessel was uncomfortable and 1t was
next to impossible for anyone to stand
on deck, it was so slippery with blood
and debris. Three hundred and fifty
horses were killed and they remained
on deck for four days before the bod
les could be disposed of. Thousands
Of sharks followed the vessel, being
attracted by the stencil and the pos
sibilities of a feast. The vessel was
blown 1000 miles out of her course
and was off the FormOsan coast when
the storm blew itself out

What Admiral Dewey Saws.

New York, Nov. IA reporter went
to the Waldorf Astoria hotel and sent
to Admiral Dewey copy of the dis
patch announcing the loss of the
Charleston. The admiral said:
II am sorry, very sorry. The
Charleston was good ship, but if she
had to be lost, l am glad, at least.
that none of her gallant officers and
crew shared her fate. l am always
interested in the welfare of the men
and ships in our navy, and doubly so
in those that have been under my com.
mand. 1t is a treacherous coast where
the Charleston met her doom-one of
the most treacherous on the whole ISL

West Plains, Mo-, Nov. 15.-At Ba-
kerseld, twenty-five miles south of this
place, on the interstate stage line, in a
duel, Luke Seels MORALLY wounded
Postmaster w. NJ. Sharp with a knife.
Rumors of improper relations between
Seels and Mrs. Sharp had reached
Sharp, who demanded satisfaction. A
challenge to fight with knives as weap-
ons was accepted and the principals
went to the cellar, where a duel was
fought, resulting in the fatal wounding
of Sharp and slight injuries to Seels
Mrs. Sharp, it is said, sat on the stair
way calmly witnessing the death strug-
gle between her husband and her low
er. Seels was arrested and gave bond.

Billy Smith have been matched to box
twenty rounds at 142 pounds before the
Olympic Athletic club of San Francisco
the latter part of February. Smith has
abandoned his trip abroad for the present
and within a few days will leave for the
coast. Billy Roche, Smiths manager,
notified the management of the Frisco
club yesterday that he had accepted La
vigne's def, and hat the purse Offered for
the bout was satisfactory. The Olympic
club has agreed to give them a substan-
tial purse with the option of 6 per cent. of
the receipts.
The proposed match between Tommy
Ryan and Smith has been declared off,
and the latter says he will not engage in
any more battles until after he fights
Lavigne. If he is successful he will AXE
on Ryan when he returns east. Smith is
more than anxious for a battle with the
Saginaw boxer, and he anticipates no
trouble in getting the long end of the
purse. Smiths Willingness to come to
terms Immediately is evidence of the con-
tidence in his ability to beat any 142-
pound boxer in the world. He is in great
shape. and as Lavigne is said to have
gone back within the past year, the
sports believe he has a shade the best of
the match.

I think, insist that if he makes a match
with Sharkey that the latter shall not en-
gage in any contest ION the level" with
any boxer of reputation, and especially
with any man whom he (Fitz) has beat.
en-. This is only a guess of mine, but |
think 1T Will prove a good one. An eX-
hibition bout between Corbett and Shar-
key would not be very attractive, pc
cuniarily, and unless Parson Davies has
changed very materially of late, he is not
managing boxing shows merely for the
benefit of his health. He wants a fair re-
turn of the coin of the realm for his
trouble. II he is right, for, as a rule,
your fighter is not a grateful parsonage,
and he believes that managers are, to use
his expressive slang, mo good except to
boom a fellow to the top and then to be
discarded like a sucked orange. Then
there is another point to be considered,
and that is that if Corbettt and Shar-
key ever spar light" Jim will go round
the eX-sailor like a cooper round a bar
rel, and make him look as big a novice
as Mccoy made him appear before he got
the middling punch that doubled him up
like a jack knife and sent him to the floor
writing in pain like a wounded snake.
Sharkey's bout with Tommy Ryan in
Syracuse last Wednesday night shows
that he can do no harm to even a clever
WelterWeight unless he cuts loose for all
that is in him. For this reason | doubt
If he and Corbett will come together in
Chicago as at present intended.
