inflicted a demoralising dc'e*t upon the
Boers.
It wonld be prematuro to give full
credence to either report. Wha? is
quite oertain is that Lidytmith, Bst<

A disquieting feature of the whole

brilliant success of Gen Joubert in
partially paralyzing the relieving
columns, the question is being asked,
what would have happened had be
at the outaet of the war, instead of
eitting down before Ladysmith push

Gen Gatacres reports that the
Dutch are rising, increases public
anxiety as it tends to confirm rumors
that have long been current.
Late last evening it was asserted
at Alderrhot that the sixth division,
now in process of mobilization, will
actually be required for active ser?
vice Some of the yeomanry agents
have been warned for mobilization,

Lawton and Young
Give Otis The Slip.
They Are Independently
Campaigning in the far
North
Manila, Nov. 21, 6 05 p. m ?The
whereabouts of Gen Lawton and
Young is becoming as mysterious as
Aguinaldos. The belief is beginning
to grow at Manila that Gen. Liwton
has struck the trail of the insurgent
government and is pursuing ministers
into the Benquet mountains It hss
been bis ambition to capture the Fili?
pino leaders and Gen Young4 be?
lieves that a cavalty brigade, living on
the country, could run them down to
any part of the island. One vague
report brought by Spanish prisoners
is that Aguinaldo and others were
nearly surrounded by Americans soon
after the insurgent chief left Tarlao,
but he escaped through the lines'in
peasants clothes
Officers and soldiers arriving at Ca
banatuan from Gen Lawton's force,
describe the campaign as one of great
hardship. Many men dropped, sick,
and were left at various towns with?
out adequate supplies and attendance,
some of them making their way back
across the terrible roads A number
of horses were dyiug and many of the
soldiers and even some of the officers,
were marching on, half naked, their
clothes having been torn to pieces in
getting through the jungles* Somo
of them were reduced almost to
breach clouts and hundreds were
barefooted, their shoes being worn
out, aud all were living on any sort
of provisions. Bread was rare and
caraboe meats and bananas were
the stsples
Gen Lawton foresaw that the cam
I peigo would involve auch hardships,
I but he considered it the quickest and
cheapest way of ending the war.
The last number of the indepen
I dencia, published at Tarlac, the day
I before the Americans entered that
I place, contains a despondent valedic?
tory entitled "Adieu. The tone of
the article showed the writer consid?
ered the game played out He said:
"Obliged by circumstances, we have
fouud it neccessary to interrupt with
I this uumber the pleasant labors of
I defending our ideals and interests
We take leave of the public and our
I readers with grief most profound and
bitterness most cruel."
The paper also contains "News"
illustrating in what a Munchausen
world the Filipino leaders have tried
to keep the people. A Washington
I dispatch dated September 14th, des?
cribes Senator Hear as opposing the
McEnery resolution in the senate

Tho dispitch from Gen. Otis docs not

The intention of General Voung to

seems evident, but this seems scarcely
probably now Some errors have b*cn

the situatiou of MacArtbur would
indicate cbat he is operatic g not far
from that place. No alarm is felt
regarding tbe situation of General
Wheaton, as he has been for some time
beyond telegraphic communication.
Operations are also progressing in
(he islands south of Luzoo, as tbs last
portion of tbo dispatch indicates
Tbe next move of importance is to
be made by Gen. Wheaton, who will
go up tbo ooast by transport to Vigao,
. at the mouth of Abra river This will
laud his forces far to the north of where
Aguioaldo is supposed to be, tbe io.ee
tioo being to cut off bis retreat to tbe
north. From tbe military information
bureau it is learned that east of tbe
route AguiDaldo is taking are moun?
tains inhabited by tribes which are not
friendly to Aguiualdo and would be
likely to attack him if be attempted to
cross their territory The country
along tbe ooast is quite well settled.
There are several little rivers making I
harbors from which it is feared Agui- |
naldo may escape by boat. General
Young, it is believed, is watching these
smaller ports witb a part of bis force.
HIS DESTINATION ILOCOS.
Manila, Nov. 23, 9 a. m ?News
from tbo pursuit of Aguioaldo is not
eipeoted for a day or two. Yesterday
a report reached Gen Lawton by
courier from Gen. Young that peoplo
knowing the com.try think Aguioaldo's
destination is Ilooos
With Gen. Liwton's troops in
position to move toward Bayombong by
every road from tbe eouth, and witb
impenetrable mountains, peopled by
unfriendly, semi savage tribes behind,
Bayombong would be a poor refuge.
It is reported that Geo. Lawton is
moving northward from Tayug, with
infantry to bead off Agoinaldo.
Geo. Young has ooly .one troop of
oavalry and the Maoabebeft, who orig>
ioally numbered 300. Agoinaldo is
supposed to have two days start from
Avaogay.
The transports Newport aod Tartar
have arrived.
PASSING OF AGUINALDO.
Manila, Nov. 22, 12.50 p. m.?Geo.
Youog reports that Agoinaldo, with a
party of 200, inolndiog some women
and a few carts, passed Ariogay, on
the ooast between San Fabian, and San
Fernando, in tbe province of Uoiop,
Friday, Nov 17. Tbe general adds
that Aguioaldo probably intended to
strike inland through the Bioqoa
mountains, toward Bayombon, in
tbe province of Nuevia Visoayo.
Gen Young. with cavalry and
Maoabebes, is pursuing the Fili?
pino leader, part of the American force
taking the direction of San Fernando.
Io a fight witb Aguinatdo's rear guard,
at Ariogay, ono Maoabeba was wound?

loss is unknown.

The enemy's loss was not obtainable,

Insurgents Collecting.
Manila, Nov. 23, 12 50 p m ?The
insurgents from the north are concen?
trating at Mont Alaban and San
Mateo where it is expected they will
make resistance The Spaniards
never occupied these places, and the
insurgents believed them to be im?
pregnable
A reconnaissance to the northwest
of San Mateo on Juesdsy developed
the fact that the rebels were moving
stores and men to Mont Alaban. The
number cf insurgents is unknown
A reconnaissance made yesterday
showed that 200 rebela are entrench?
ed at San Mateo and others in the
valley between there and Mariquina,
where the rebel outposts are station?
ed.
Gen Young entered San Mateo
last September and found the place
not especially adapted for a strong
