BELIEVE AGUINALD0 DEAD.
Has Not Been Heard From for Four Months.
With a Few Soldiers he Fled
TO the Wilderness.

The belief is growing that Aguinaldo
was killed by the Ygorrotes. There is
no proof that he has been alive since
Major Peyton c. March, OF the Thirty
third regiment, abandoned the chase
after the Filipino leader in the Benquet
mountains, and an insurgcnt officer who
recently surrendered TO Gen. Young says
that the insurgent general, Tinio, thinks
Agunaldo is dead. Tinio held regular
communication with Aguinaldo until
Dec. 28, since when he has heard moth
ing from him. and Tinio thinks Agui-
naldo would find means to communicate
with him il alive.
Mai. March's information was that
there were only half dozen soldiers
with Aguinaldo when he fled beyond
the Bontoc wilderness, where the saw
ages are hostile to all strangers.
Friends OF Aguinaldo's wife asserts that
she has heard nothing from him since
they parted. She is in n delicate con-
dition and nearly prostrated with worry.
Therefore, she has not been informed
OF the death of her child and thinks it
is with friends at Bacoor.
Gen. Funston has discovered a rebel
warehouse near Cabanutuan, province
OF New Egija. containing all the arch
ives OF the Malolos government, Agui-
naldo's correspondence up TO the time
OF his flight and much valuable histori-
cal matter.

A 81. Louis Street Car Blown from ihs Tracks.
Passengers Terrified.

A car on the St. Louis and Suburban
railway was blown from the track and
twisted sideways by an explosion of
nitro-glycerine late Saturday night.
Seven of the passengers were slightly
injured by the flying glass, and broken
timbers, which came up from below.
-Four were taken back to the city for
treatment.
There is strike on the road. The
explosive was nitro-glycerine, which
had been spread on the track for some
distance. The car was filled with per-
sons returning from the Dewey celebra-
tion. 1t was raining hard at the time,
and lightning flashed continuously
across the car.
Many women were among the passen-
gers, and they screamed wildly. Every
person was hurled from the seats, and
fell pell-mell into the aisle. At first il
was thought that bolt of lightning had
struck, but when the motorman and
conductor, after an examination, an
nounced that the car had been blown
ZIP by strikers, there was more coniu-
sion, and the men prepared for an at
tack. This was the signal for more
screams, and many of the passengers
got off the car and braved the terrible
downpour. No attack was made.

Near Kanopolis eight distinct funnel
shaped clouds developed within a radius
OF 20 miles. four OF them large ones and
two OF which are known to have trav-
eled over the earth for a space of rs
minutes. One OF the storms tore down
all OF the outbuildings, granaries and
windmills on the Waite farm, three

tore down the house and barn OF a
farmer north OF Ellsworth. Brookvile
reports six tornadoes traversed the

GARCIA A CAPTIVE.
Members OF Tuns,on's Staff Made the Capture.
Ranks Next After Agninaldo.

Gen. Pantelon Garcia, the highest in
surgent officer, except Aguinaldo, was
captured Sunday by Lieut.. E. V. Smith,
OF Gen. Funston's staff, in the town OF
Jaen, three miles northeast OF San lsai-
dro, province OF New Ecija.
Jaen is the largest ungarrisoned town
in the province. Spies reported that
Garcia was sick and had been COM
PEELED to hide there, and Lieut.. Smith,
with Lieut.. Day and 40 artillerymen,
surrounded the town. The spies led
them directly to the house where Garcia
was disguised as peasant, only major
and two servants being with him. These
also were captured.
Garcia personally directed the guer-
rilla operations and Gen. Funston had
spent weeks trying to corner him, sey-
eral companies beating the whole coun-
try at night. Often the Americans
caught messengers bearing Garcia's or
ders. The people protected him and
burned signal lights wherever the
American soldiers appeared.
He seldom slept twice in the same
town. Recently Gen Funston surpris-
ed him and his staff while dining at
Arayat at dusk. The Filipinos leaped
through the windows and escaped, leav-
ing their papers and everything except
the clothing they wore. The strain OF
being hunted finally exhausted their en-
durancc.
Garcia commanded all the insurgents
in central Luzon, several generals, in
cluding Pho del Pillar and Mascardo,
being under him.
