WANTS TO LIVE
A PEACEFUL LIFE
Admiral Dewey Will Accept
Chicago Invitation.
HAS NOTHING MORE TO SAY
Would Not Discuss the Criticisms That
Have Arisen Out of the Transfer
ofthe Property to
His Wife

Washington, November 23.-"Yes," said
Admiral Dewey to an Associated Press rep
resentative, with an appearance of intense
satisfaction in his manner, II received to-
day a telegram from the mayor of Chicago
supplementing the letter of the Dewey COM
mfttee of that city, inviting me to visit
there on the first of May. You may say in
your dispatches that all things being equal
and barring any unlocked for circum-
stances, / shall accept the invitation to
visit the city on the first of May. 1 have
been thinking of some place in which to
spend that day, the anniversary of the
memorable day of two years before, and
don't know of any more agreeable city in
which to spend it than Chicago. The peo-
pie there have been very kind and pleasant
to me and ever since the battle of Manila
l have been receiving evidences of their
good will and affection. My hope, there
fore, is to be able TO accept the invitation
which has been extended to me-"
The evidence of good will and kindness
indicated by the letter from the committee
and mayor is a source of extreme gratifica-
tion to the admiral at this time and he en-
braced the opportunity offered by their pro-
posal to reterate his thanks to the people
who have stood by him in the face of criti-
cism which has appeared as result of a
change in the title to the property given by
the American people.
From every section of the country" he
said, "have come kilograms and letters to
me showing the good will and kindness of
the American people. 1t is impossible for
me to take up each one individually, but I
assure you that I am deeply grateful to
their senders and appreciate their consid-
Grafton
mo- said the admiral, II have no OBJ
servation to make on the criticisms which
have arisen as result of the transfer of
the property other than those which I have
already given public expression to. Enough
Enough has already been Sid and now
has already been said and now want to
live quiet and peaceably."

OFFICIAL REPORT
Showing List of Engagements From
Nov. 12 to Nov. II

London, November 23.-The war office this
evening issued dispatch from Capetown
which is a brief official declaration of
events at Kimberley from November 12 to
November IT. 1t shows that no serious en-
gagement occurred between those dates,
that the British losses have been infinitely
small, and that the Boer losses were prob
ably very small. The final entry indicates
that the Beers anticipating the advance Of
the relief column under General Metheun,
have taken up defensive positions to the
south of the town. The dispatch follows:
Kimberley, November 12.-The Beers

Manila November 2S.-The insurgents
from the north are concentrating at Mon
talban and San Mateo, where 1t is expected
they will make resistance The Spaniards
never occupied these places. and the in
surgents believe them to be impregnable.
A reconnaissance to the northwest of San
Mateo on Tuesday developed the fact that
the rebels were moving stores and men to
Montalban. The number of insurgents is
unknown.
A reconnaissance made yesterday showed
that 200 rebels are intrenched at San Mateo
and others In the valley between there and
Mariqina, where the rebel outposts are
stationed.
General Yonug entered San Mateo last
September and found the place particularly
adapted for a strong resistance.

.F|L|P|NOS FORCED To RETREAT
AFTER A DAYS FIERCE FIGHTING
Several Americans Severely Wounded BY Force Of BoOneR
Who We're Hidden in the Long Grass

General Macarthur and Colonel Bell In a
carriage, headed procession through the
town. General Macarthur received an ova-
ton. Explaining the Americans intention,
he announced that they intended to garr1-
son all the towns on the railroads.
Hundreds of men are in the fields har-
vesting rice along the railroad. The for
eigners in the territory assert that Aguin-
aldo was not expecting the American ad-
vance for a month"; or until the rains had
finished. He had permitted large part
of his army to scatter to their homes and
do the harvesting
Hid Their Rifles
The soldiers had hidden their rifles about
their homes. If this is true many rifles are
likely to be brought in to secure the $50
offered for each weapon secured. General
Wheaton, when General Macarthur COM
municated with him, was holding San Fa-
bin and two or three neighboring towns.
Captain Leonhauser's capture of the town
of Odennel was a remarkable stroke. His
command consisted of three company's of
the Twenty-fifth regiment, Captain AL
bright and Lieutenants Bates and Morton
commanding. He started at 6 o'clock at
night and marched fifteen miles IN the
mud. The only regular approach was along
a road and over a river whose bridge was
strongly fortified. The entrance of the
town was entrenched The soldiers left the
road and followed a cattle trail to the rear
of the town. At daylight the command
separated, one company advancing on the
back of the town and the others thanking
it.
Found Insurgents Asleep
The insurgent force was asleep, except
those at the outposts, and were captured
without shooting. One platoon ran down
the main street to a trench and the other
detachments made quick march and
searched the houses,
An officer describing the scene said:
"The negro soldiers were pouring out or
every house, dragging sleepy, frightened
Filipino warriors by the collar and kicking
them into the street 1t was a race to see
which company would corral the most
Filipinos. The women and children, be-
lieving the stories told that the negro SOL
diers were cannibals, shrieked frightfully
After all the rifles had been secured the
Filipinos were surprised by ,A1g told to go
to their homes and attend tt"ork."

New York, November 23-At the home of
Kid Mccoy. the fighter, at White Plains,
N. Y, tonight 1t was said that the pugilist
was not in serious condition, as has been
reported in New York. He had recently
consulted a physician and he had been ad-
vised to refrain from severe training for a
few weeks, and take complete rest from
conditioning work. 1t appears to be the
opinion of his friends here that his present
trouble resulted from too constant training,
and that he has not taken sufficient rest
between his fights.

To he Called "Dewey Arch"

New York, November 23.-Colonel William

Dewey arch, today made a lengthy state
ment in regard to the rela lions off THE ardh
to the admiral.
'"The arch" he said. 'is to be the Dewey
arch in the sense it has always been. 1t
is certain that the fame of Admiral Dewey
and the battle of Manila Bay is to De COM
memorated in the arch. and there Is little
doub1 mat it will he known as the Dewey
arch just as the Trafalgar column In Lon
don is called the Nelson monument"

Manila, November 23.-[1O:S5 p. m.]-Colo-
mel Carpenter November Is advanced to
Santa Barbara strait, north from Jaro, tax
ing trench after trench, the enemy fighting
and retreating.
General Hughes column has steadily been
advancing to a position west of Santa
Barbara 1t encountered the enemy in
small detachment. Six to ten Americans
were wounded in this column.
Colonel Carpenter started during the
night of November 20 and opened with Bat
terry G. of the Sixth artillery, at daybreak
November q on the trenches. The enemy
volleyed as the artillery took up position,
wounding four.
Enemy Returns Fire
Two companies of the Twenty-sixth regi-
ment garrisoning Jaro moved through
Capaz, attacking the enemy on the right
flank just north of Jaro at daybreak No
vember q, driving them towards Colonel
Carpenter.
The country between Jaro and Santa Bar
bara is thickly entrenched, especially near
Pavia. The Sixth artillery fred on the
trenches and the Eighteenth regiment
charged the enemy, retreating to the next
trench. The Eighteenth again charged, en-
countering and attacking a force of Bolo-
men who were hidden in the long grass and
who severely wounded several Americans.

fighting was severe Immediately south Of

seven men were found dead. The in
surgents are falling back on Santa Barbara

attacked before this.
Aguinaldo's Predicament
A Spanish corporal captured by the Fill
pinos has arrived here from Tarlac. He
says he saw Aguinaldo accompanied by a
prominent leader and fifteen men arrive at
Bayambang during the night of the 18th,
hatless, his clothes torn and spattered with
mud and his horse exhausted. Aguinaldo,
1t appears, rested a short time, seemed anx-
ious, consulted with his companions and
the villagers as to the nature of the roads.

Mangalaren in Pangasnan province west Of
Bayambang.
The corporal tells straight story, giving
minute details. He is convinced he is not
mistaken, having seen Aguinaldo several
times during recent months. Aguinaldo, 1t
appears, would have had time to leave
Bayambang November 10 and pass through
