The resemblance between Admiral
Dewey and General Grant is strikingly
close. The merit record Of the one In
the naval academy is almost identical
with that Of the other in the military
academy. They were at about the same
place above the bottom Of the class,
they were deficient in the same studies,
and their conduct marks were much
alike. The one reached the highest po-
sition In the army and the other In the
navy. In modesty and dignity OF per-
sonal bearing they are singularly alike.
They resemble each other also In their
disposition to award full credit to their
subordinates in every achievement.
Their manner of speech is identical. 1t
is direct, terse. right to the point. and
In plain. vigorous English. such as the
plain people can understand. In an
other respect they are also alike-name-
". in securing the cordial admiration
of all foreign powers with whose repre-
sentatives they came in contact. Both
Of them, in the words of Dewey,

ward.

FLED TO THE NORTH
Aou;naldo Has Been Located
at Bambang.
ESCAPED TRAP LAID FOR HIN
rr.... ~ the American Military Forces
will Now BE Directed Iow"r"
the New Rebel Capital

Washington, Nov. 1.-the war de'
nartment definitely located Aguinaldo
TODAY as on his way to Bamoan9, 70
miles northeast OF Tarlac. The recent
calculations have been that the insur'
cent leader was in the town OF Bayam'
bang. not far from Tarlac, in which case
.he several forces under Generals Mac
Arthur. Lawton, Young and Wheaton
would have had him practically sur
rounded. There has been some oouot'
however, as to the name Of Bayam bang
and TODAY this was cleared up by def1'
mite information fixing Bambang, IN.
stead of Bayambang, as the place OF
ACuinaldo's refuge. A dispatch from
General Otis mentioned Bambang, ana
at the same time reliable information
came through other channels that Lieu
tenant Gilmore and other American
prisoners were at Bambang, in the
mountains far to the northeast OF Tar
lac. :. e,
1t is expected the insurgent capital
will be shifted to Bambang, and the
efforts of the American military forces
will be directed toward that point.
1t is in the mountainous country OF
the north, and apparently out OF the
fertile and populous regions where
Aguinaldo has thus far conducted MS
operations, 1t is said to be accessible
from the south by way Of one route
only, along river which is a branch
OF the Rio Grande. This leaves the
rebel leader little or no opportunity OF
communicating with the coast or get
ting in supplies. He has also left the
railroad behind.
1t is said at the war department that
the columns of General Young and
General Wheaton will push on to the
north, following up the insurgent leader
and his scattered bands.

~ overlook clerk in the British postal
service at Birmingham. Among the
packets received at the office one day
was one containing pair of hand
cuffs, which were being sent from
Derby to a manufacturer in Birming-
ham to be fitted with key. The pa.
per covering Of the parcel had been
torn during transmission 80 that the
handouts were exposed to view.
They were an object Of curiosity to
the clerks. and presently one of the
young men jocularly clasped one OF
the cuffs around his left wrist. 1t was
then that he discovered that there was
no key to unfasten 1t. The handcufY
was on his wrist Ito stay"
The young man went to the police
station, and an officer found a key
that he thought would fit. But in turn.
Ing 1t round. he broke 1t OF IN the cuff.
Now the broken key would have to be
drilled out. or the handcuff filed
through before the clerk could get II
of.
The day was Sunday, and all the
shops, including the manufacturers

to the postofiice. and explained his
plight to the superintendent. This Of.
fetal ordered him to take the first train
to Derby the next morning. explain
the whole circumstance to the owner
Of the handouts. apologize to him, and
then return to Birmingham and 60 to
