Chicftain Was Killed.
WASHINGTON: The last mail from Ma
Mia received ut the war department brings
interesting new from the island of l4nzon.
Manila papers of Oct. IL devote consider
able space TO the renewal of the report
concerning %Aguinaldo's death in northern
Luzon. They say the character of the re-
port, together with tile fact that Gen.
Irias has been signing himself "Com-
mander in chief of the insurgent f%orces,''
lends strong color to the belief that Agui-
naldo is dead.
The latest account comes from Nueva
.ENita, northern LuZon. where, in IL skir-
mish, AguinaldO's horse was killed and his
saddle bags. with a number of personal
papers, were captured.
1t seems a non-cOnmissiOnel officer had
gained the confidence of u native una
the wife of a general on Aguinaldo's staff,
and had secured considerable information
as to the movements of the insurgents,
much of whichproved correct. The woman
told him that in a Fight at Neuva Ecija
Aguinaldo wa shot from his horse and Sc
verely wounded. He was carried into the
jungle by his followers and subsequently,
reported to be i'll with fever. His body
afterward was carried down the river on IL
raft, but the natives were uncertain
whether he was dead or alive. The Manila
papers. however, believe him dead.
