Young, dated Hunlingam, yesterday.
Humingam is about thirty miles east of
San Fabian. General Young is supposed
to have advanced considerably farther
toward a Fabian. A correspondent of
the Associated. Press telegraphs an ac-
count of the rapid pace with which Cen
eral Young covered the road with his
cavalry. The Maccabebe scouts COM
pletely surprised and demoralized the in
%surgents around the low country. A mes
senger and reinforcements who We're
captured say no town from San Jose to
la Nicholas expected the arrival of the
Americans until a day or two after they
actually arrived.
A%guinaldo and his government are said
to be making desperate efforts to escape
to Bayonbong. All the information here
is that he is still in the low country.
Lieutenant Johnson, with Troop NJ,
Third cavalry, captured yesterday at
San Nicholas II barrels containing the
wardrobe of A~guinaldo's wife, some per-
Sonal effects, the records of the secretary
of war and much commissary and med
ical supplies. Sonora Aguinaldo probably

tary of war is thought to be inside the

New York, Nov. 16.-The official re-
ports on the Holland BOAT from John
Love, captain. Z. S. N, and the board of
inspection and survey, of which the pres
ident is Frederick Rodgers, rear admiral,
Y. S. N, were made public today. Both
reports deal at length in the technicali-
ties Of the trials, and both agree that the
trials have been successful in almost
every particular. Captain Lowe, in ad-
ditior, submits a report of his observa-
lltllS DIS OluS1cd ny IN SoNCI III!ell.
The trial of the Holland BOAT took
place on November 8. before the BOARD of
inspection and survey. The start was
made off New Suffolk. L.. L., with nine
men on board. or TOUR more than when
going to a fight. There We're three
Whitehead torpedoes on board. The
tests comprised running on the surface
and under the water, diving and torpedo
firing, and all were very successful. Cap
tain Lowe concludes his technical report
as follows:
Il report my belief that the Holland is
a successful and veritable submarine
torpedo boat, capable of making a veri-
table attack upon an enemy unseen and
unbelievable, and that, therefore, she is
an engine of warfare of terrible potency
which the government must necessarily
adopt into it's service"
Southampton. Nov. 16.-T11e rescued
passengers of the Patria spent the night
at Southampton awaiting the arrival of
the Kaiser Frederic. Four of the pas
sengers were left at Dover and one of
these, a man named DuFPface, it is be-
lieved. Will die becauseg of his terrible
experience in the English channel. 1t
now seems probable that the Patria will
at least be partially saved. What caused
the fire is still a mystery, but it is as
serted hat the fact that the steamer
was on fire was withheld from the pas
sensers for some time. Captain F'rohlich

Washington, Nov. 16.-Mai advices re-
ceiyed at the war department show that
the Filipino insurgents have adopted Il
new method of interference with the mil

taching a fine copper wire to the line.
running it down the pole or through the
foliage of a tree to the ground. where it
is attached TO a piece of iron driven into
