Manila, Nov. 29.-The Oregon, Sa-
mara, and Callao, with 100 bluejackets
and marines from the Oregon, capt
ured the port of Vigan, province of
South Ilocos, north Of here. The Sa-
mara and Callao ran close in-shore, a
few shots were fired, and then the Sa-
mara, Callao and Oregon engaged in
q sharp bOmbardment of Vigan. The
firing from the shore ceased almost i'm
mediately and the sailors and marines,
with a field piece, were landed. 1t Is
reported that LOO insurgents, under
Generals Tino and Pillar, are massed
at Taguden, ten miles north, and it
has been concluded to wait at Maniac
PAGAN for the rest of the reinforce
ments. The American military force
was still at Namacpacan Sunday, but
a move north was expected to take
place Monday. The two companies of
the Thirty-third volunteers are on their
way north to reinforce the troops at
Namacpacan.
AguinaIdo Flees Northward.
A later dispatch from Namacpacan
says that when the bluejackets and
marines landed at Vigan they found
that the insurgents had fed. The navy
will hold the town until relieved by
the troops which are on their way
north. General Young, with three
troops of Third cavalry and a small
detachment of Macabebes, command
ed by Lieutenants Hail, Quinlan, and
Blount, arrived at Namacpacan from
San Fernando de Union Thursday,
Nov. %. There they received news of
Aguinaldo, from which it appears that
he passed north, through Namacpacan
on Tuesday, Nov. u, while General
Young was waiting at San Fernando,
twenty miles south. The rebel chief is
believed to be hiding in Abra province.
When Aguinaldo passed through Nam
acpacan all his talk was in favor of
continuing the war.

FEELING HIGH AT FRANKFORT.
Political Leaders Gathering to Watch the
Official Count.


Frankfort, KY, Nov. 29.-Political
leaders from all parts of the state
are assembling here for the purpose Of
being on hand during the canvass Of
the election returns by the state
board of commissioners, which will be-
gin Saturday morning. Feeling Is run
ming high, and there Is talk of the city
being placed under martial law until
after this contest shall have been de-
cided. The Democratic leaders are ar
guing that there will be no trouble
They are, however, manlfesting some
anxiety as to whether or not Governor
Bradley intends to order out the troops
when the commissioners meet. Sew
eral wagers were reported of odds of
2 to 1 In favor of Goebel being the
next governor.
Mr.. McChesney, Goebel nominee for
superintendent Of public instruction,
said: 'There Is going to be no trouble.
All this talk about bloodshed Is being
INDUCED in by the Republicans in the
hope of intimidating the commission
ers. There is no doubt that those 1000
tissue ballots should be thrown out.
We have precedent for 1t in tho de-
cision by the court of appeals of the
state. With those votes rejected, the
entire Democratic ticket will be elect
ed"
The Goebel managers denied the re-
port that arms and ammunition were
being hauled into the penitentiary to
be used in behalf of Goebel and his
friends in the event of an outbreak.

Meets Rebels on Mountain Tops and Rout
Them.


Manila, Nov. 29.-By courier from
the mountains to Dayamban province
OF Pangasanan)-The fight in which
Colonel Bell defeated and scattered the
rebel brlgades of Generals Alejandrino
and San Miguel took place on the sum-
NIT of the mountains, west of Manga
laren, forming the divide between the
Dagupan valley and the ocean, Col
Onel j. Franklin Bells regiment, the
Thirty-sixth infantry, and Fowler's
company Of the Thirty-third, left
Mangalaren Monday morning and
marched twenty-four hours with four
hours rest, over bare and waterless
ridges, along narrow trails and through
canons.
At daylight Nov. %, the troops
emerged from timbered canon upon
the divide, running into the rebels ad-
vance guard, who retreated to the
main body before shooting. Colonel
Bell, who was In advance with the
scouts and one company, had the reb-
els in full rout before the main body
Of his troops arrived, fleeing down the
mountain to the swamps between
Mangalaren and Aguitas, leaving ten
dead and many wounded and abandon
ing two Nordenfelts, one Pinch Krupp,
one Maxim and one Hotchkiss. They
were chased through the swamp and
thoroughly dispersed. Colonel Bell
captured all their artillery, supplies
and clothing, many Mausers and Rem
ingtons, some American Winchesters,
and 1000 rounds Of ammunition.
The rifles, etc, were abandoned in
the rebels retreat and were scattered
along their trail for two miles, the enc
my escaping empty-handed, with the
exception Of q few rifles. The women
and children in shacks in the camp
had no time to escape. Colonel Rus
car, chief of the arsenal, and a few
other prisoners, were taken. The

mand the regular trail from Manga
laren, but Colonel Bell approached
from the opposite direction. The reb-
els are estimated to have numbered
1900 men, with some English, ia
panese and four Spanish officers.

CANAL BILL TO BE PUSHED.
It Will Be Introduced without Waiting
for Com IN ission's Report.


Washington, Nov. 2S.-One of the
first measures of importance which
will be introduced in congress will be
Nicaragua canal bill. Friends Of
the waterway intend to disregard en-
tirely the commission appointed under
provision of the law enacted in the
closing hours of the last session. The
bill will be identical with that intro
duced by Mr.. Hepburn in the last con.
gress, which appropriated $4,000, 600,
available In sums of $50, 100000 year,
to be secured by bond issue, and pro.
vided that the canal should be con-
structed by the United States govern
ment instead of by private enterprise.
The Hepburn bill contained pro-
vision that the United States should
exercise absolute sovereignty over the
zone Of land which this government
was empowered to secure by purchase
or treaty. This feature of Mr.. Hep
burns bill was the subject of criticism
for the reason that in the constitutions
of Nicaragua and Costa Rica 1t is pro.
vided that neither government may
ALLEVIATE territory.
Discussing the question Of canal leg
islation Representative Barham Of Cal.
ifOrnfa said an effort would be made
to amend this feature of the Hepburn
bill. 1t Is his belief that practically
the same object can be accomplished
by a mere change Of words by which
the United States will be clothed with
absolute control Of the canal and have
the privilege Of terrifying the water.
way In time of war, while at the same
time the constitutional inhibition Of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica will not be
violated
