NOW IN MANILA
Aguinaldo Said to Be in Conceal
ment in the Philippine
Capital. s.
Easier to Remain in Hiding
There Than Out in the
Provinces.
Reward Not Offered, Though It
Would Probably Cause
Betrayal.

NEW YORK. April 10.-A special to
The Tribune from Washington says:
In the Mail from Manila, which has
just arrived at the war department,
there were at least two communica-
tions expressing conviction that Aguin.
aldo is hiding in that city. One of these
letters is from a United States secret
service officer, who has found conclu-
siye evidence that the Tagal leader has
been in Manila since the rebel armies in
Lhzon were dispersed and who was sat
isfied as he had not escaped by water,
he was probably still concealed in the
native part of the town.
The other letter was from an army of
ficer attached to headquarters, who
voiced the opinion of all high military
authorities that Aguinaldo was GER
tainly not in any of the outlying dis.
tricts of the island for American troops
had too thoroughly overrun the country
for the rebel chieftain to escape detec-
ton and especially in Panay province
there were enough enemies of the lead
er to have betrayed him if he was there.
Military officers recently returned
from the Philippines said that Aguin-
aldo would naturally seek refuge in the
Tagal quarters in Manila, where ME
would find greater safety than in the
outlying provinces, especially those
which the American troops have thorJ
ughly overrun, and where there are
many natives who sympathize with
American rule. $3.50 ga
General Otis has been Of the opinion
that Aguinaldo has not been out of Ma
Mia since the first of the year. He has
offered no reward for his apprehension,
though secret service men are Of the
opinion that the natives would SOON be-
tray him in the. event of a reward.
It is the ambition of the army
to capture him alive. He has sew
,rsal times been reported captured.
Last fall General Otis was notified of
his capture in Northern Luzon, and had
arranged to send him to the United
States. General Otis is convinced Of
the desirability of sending him away,
and does not wish to have him on his
hands. Some tribes would be in rebel
lion while he was around, though others
would arise if he were not given the
fullest liberty. 4i,,e

DEWEY TO WITHDRAW.

apparently Good Authority Says He Will
Get Out of the Race.
New YORK, April ia Washington
special to The Evening World says: It
is asserted on what seems to be good
authority that Admiral Dewey has de-
cided to withdraw as candidate for
the presidency and that within few
days he will formally announce his de-
cision. His brother-in-law, John r.
Mclean, is alleged to be responsible for
this latest move.
..Within 48 hours Admiral Dewey has
been in consultation with Democratic
leaders and others antagonistic to Pres
ident Mckinley, and the opinions then
expressed, together with unfavorable or
non -committal views voiced by the
newspapers, decided him, it is asserted,
to withdraw from the contest.

PORTO RICAN TARIFF BILL.

Extended Debate Will Not BE Allowed by

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The Repub-
lican managers of the house have de-.
cided not to allow protracted debate
upon the motion to concur in the senate
amendments to the Porto Rican tariff
bill next Wednesday. A special rule
will be framed which will bring the
motion to vote after several hours of
debate. Both sides are using their ut.
most endeavors to get every absentee to
Washington. The opposition will make
the first fight on the adoption of the
rule, but the Republicans who are. cans
vassing the situation, express great con-
fidence in their ability to put through
the programme agreed upon at the Re-
publican caucus, on Thursday, by a
larger majority than was secured for
the original bill. Il.

General Gatacre Returns From His Search
Around Reddersburg.
BETHANY, Saturday, April Cen
eral Gatacre's force has returned here
without having found any trace of the
ill-fated British column captured by the
Reddersburg commando. 1t is impos-
sible to. estimate the British losses, but
as the MEN fought stubbornly it is prob
able that these were large.
The FIVE companies, marching across
the country, via De Vets dorp, made a
plucky stand, but as the Beers had
three field guns and the British none,
the latter were compelled to surrender.
General Gatacre arrived too late.
Reddersburg was already reoccupied by
ihe Beers and the enemy are now threat.

ARE AGAIN ACTIVE.

Reports of Encounters Between Ameri-
cans and Filipinos Still Come In.
MANILA, April 10.-Reports Of en-
counters between the American troops
and the insurgents continue to arrive
from many points. On Friday Captain
Sturgis, while accommodating, struck an
insurgent outpost on the Nevaliches
road, five miles distant from Manila,
killing two and capturing ten. All
were in full uniform. Unfortunately
Captain Sturgis' force was not large
enough to pursue the main body.
A detachment Of the Forty -second
infantry, while scouting in Laguna
province, was pursued by the insur-
gents and obliged to take refuge in a,
church at Paolo, where the Americans
repelled the rebels until achievements
arrived. .Esgsa ~

General Young, commanding in North
Luzon, has made several requests for
reinforcements, representing that his
force is inadequate, that the men are
exhausted by the necessity of constant
vigilance, that he is unable to garrison
the towns in his jurisdiction, that the
insurgents are returning to the district
and killing the amigos, and that it is
necessary for him to inflict punishment
in several sections before the rainy sea.

General James Bell, who is command

are inadequate and that he merely
holds few towns, without controlling
the territory.
The president, of the town of Samal,
province of BatGar, Luzon, and another
prominent native, have been assassi-
mated because they were known to be
friendly to the Americans.
The president of another town has
joined the insurgents because they had
threatened to kill him if he did not.

KEEP CLARK OUT
Senate Committee Unanimously
Votes to Declare Montana
Seat Vacant.
Tactics Of the Realtors Censured,
But the Evidence Was
Sufficient.
All Shades If Opinion Expressed
in Committee ceiling Of
Leniency.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE senate
committee on privileges and elections
has decided by unanimous vote to
recommend the adoption of a resolution
declaring that Hon. w. A. Clark Of
Montanasis not entitled to occupy his
seat as a senator from Montana. The
decision was reached. after two hours
sitting, at which all the members of the
committee were present except one.
The absentee was Senator Gallery of
Louisiana and he wired his vote in OPP
position to Mr.. Clark. The ballot was
not taken until all the members present
had expressed themselves upon the
question, some of them speaking at
some length and all expressing different
shades of opinion. Senator Harris of
Kansas indicated the most pro-
nounced leaning toward leniency
for Mr.. Clark. He did not
express any doubt that there had
been lavish expenditure of money in
Mr.. Clark's behalf, and while not con-
doning this course, he spoke in terms Of
strong condemnation of the tactics pur-
sued by some of his CLARK 's)opponents,
referring especially to Congressman
Campbell and former State Senator
Whiteside. He said that whatever Mr..
Clark's offenses, they were but. little
worse than the methods pursued by
Campbell and Whiteside in their efforts
to expose the senator, and he insisted
that if the report was to be antagonistic
to Mr.. Clark it should at the same time
relate in full detail the course pursued
by the two principal witnesses against
him. ~ -
- Evidence Was Cumulative.
Senator Pettus practically agreed
with Mr.. Harris. The two senators
also expressed some doubt as to the JUS
8faation Of the conclusion drawn by
majority of the committee that Senator
Clark's candidacy for the senate began
in August, 1898, when he returned to
Butte from New York. The, effect Of
this conclusion was to charge up the
entire $4,000 which Senator Clark
confessed to having expended, to his
campaign for the senate.
Senator McComas was among the
senator's who expressed himself eas con-
vinced that the senatorial seat was in
view from the beginning. Mr.. Nc
Comas, however, united with other sem
ators in condemning the methods pur-
sued in prosecuting the case. j.
The concensus of opinion Of the COM
mittee appeared unfayorable to accept
ing any one especial feature against Mr..
CLARK as the basis for the report against
him, the general opinion being that it
was the cumulative character Of the
testimony that should be considered
rather than any one especial detail.
Senators Chandler and Turley were
directed to prepare the report. It is ex-
pected to be presented at an early day.
Senator. Clark was at the Capitol
when the announcement of the action
of the committee was made known. He
was surprised at the result, but refused
to make statement until after consul
tation with his friends and attorneys.

FREE STATE Is UP.
Great Activity Is the Result of the Serious
Checks to British Arms.

Great Activity Is the Result of the Serious
Checks to British Arms.
LONDON, April 1o.--When it is borne
in mind that all the dispatches from the
front are severely censored there is lit
tie in the news to bring satisfaction to
England. Assurances that nothing need
be feared, even if the railways and tele-
graphs are cut and Bloemfontein iso-
lated, together with the news that the
ladies and other civilians are being Or
dered away, do not augur well.
The attempt Of General Colville to
catch the Boer leaders in conference at
Reitfontein failed probably, as usual,
because of the lack of cavalry.
The results of these serious checks to
the British arms is that the whole Free
State is up again and that the Beers
are full of activity over the entire
field.
A Boer account of the Bloemfontein
waterworks affair says:
Colonel Broadwood evacuated Thaba
N'Chu owing to the advance Of Com
mandant Olivier from the south. The
federal troops found the British camp
in peaceful slumber, without sentinel
or outpost to give the alarm. General
De Wet Immediately placed guns and
the commanders in such position as to
surround the British, who did not have
time to recover from their surprise.
The Cape Town correspondent of The
Times discussing the affair says: :.
British Officers Careless.
Gall the details only serve to bring
out clearly the marvellous cleverness of
the Beers, no less than the marvellous
carelessness and improvidence OF the
British officers, whom, it would seem,
no series of disasters viii teach to keep
wide awake.
"The Beers in Colonel Broadwood's
rear drove his force into the party at the
drift, exactly as cartridges are driven
to a gun. At the drift itself, as each
wagon descended the hollow, it was
shown which way to drive, so as not to
block the convoy. When the guns ar
rived the trap was all clear again for
their reception. AS one who was pres
emit said: The Beers politely took your
rifle and asked you tokindly step to one
side. There was nothing else to do :"
The Beers are displaying activity in
Natal, but there is no sign that General
Butler is moving.
Mafeking was still besieged April l..
The garrison was suffering seriously
from lack Of bread, and a mixture of
oats, bran and mealies was doing duty
