Manlla, NOV. l4.-Ihe whereabouts
OF Aguinaldo and his army and cabinet
ia perfect enigma. General Otis has
learned that Aguinaldo recently issued
proclamation transferring the capitol

to that place.

present rate they could drive the insur-
gents from Bongabong in fortnight.

lish another capital in Luzon which can
not be captured within MONTH

in Cavite province, threatening an at
tack on linus. Yesterday they attacked
Calamba in the usual fashion, a nightly
fusilade between marines and 100 insur-
gents. who again intrenched themselves
on the isthmus between Cavite and
Noveleta.
Saturday the Filpinos ATTEMPTED to en-
trap the marines by landing force from
canoes behind them. Searchlights from
the Petrel discovered the preparations
to embark and few shots from the Mo-
nadnock's and Petrel's guns spoiled the
game.
