I Wheaton Working to Cut Off
Filipino Leader's Escape-
VILL CAPTURE APARRI.
| The (ieneral's Command to Be Con
siderably Strengthened.
j Capture of Aguinaldo Acknowledged
to be a Difficult Task—Generals Mc-
I Arthur and Lawton to Guard the
South of Luzon—Plans for Ending
! the Trouble are Perfect.
Manila, Nov. 14. —Major Hell's regi
ment and a small force of cavalry en
tered Tarlac Sunday night without op
position. Whither Aguinaldo, with his
army and so-called government, has
lied is a mystery. The forces of Gen.
Mac Arthur and General Lawton are
around Tarlac. Communication with
distant points is impossible except by
means of the Government wire, which
is crowded with official business.
Wheaton After Aguinaldo.
Washington, D. C., Nov. J 4. —In
order TO prevent the escape of Agui
naldo from Hayombong, General Otis
will send an expedition to capture
Aparri, on the north coast of Luzon,
and after establishing its base at this
port the expedition will be conveyed
in cascoes and light draught vessels
down the river Cagayan and its tribu
tary to Hayombong, or wherever Agui
naldo may have established his head
quarters.
This expedition will probably be un
der the command of Hrigadier General
Wheaton, who ha* occupied San Ra
fael, and is under orders to proceed
against Dagupan. liefore despatching
him to Aparri General Otis will rein
fore*' bis command, so that it will be
able to destroy any hands of hostile
natives that it may meet and ltavo
ample force to crush Aguinaldo's army
when it is finally brought to bay. Gen
erals Lawton and Mac Arthur will so
arrange their force.? as to keep Agni
naldo in the north of Luzon until Gen
(General Wheaton.)
; oral Wheaton gets in position, when
the three commanders will bring their
forces to bear upon the point at which
Aguinaldo may be located.
General Otis is expected to send
! several "tinclads" with the expedition,
is tliev will be useful in protecting the
troops dining the passage down the
Cagayan. It had been expected that
General Wheaton's expedition would
make a short cut across the mountain
to get to the north of Aguinaldo, but
General Otis has concluded that the
wiser plan is to send bis command by
transports to the north of Luzon and
to have Generals Mac Arthur and Law
ton guard the south.
It has become evident to the officials
! that it will be extremely difficult to
catch Aguinaldo. it is pointed out
that witi i the long coast line of the
island ii would be an easy matter for
• hint to enter a small sailboat and get
■ away, and naval officers predict that
if he is captured it will bo by the navy
and not by the army. The departure
of Aguinaldo from Luzon, would, the
officials believe, simplify matters, as
he is recognized as the head of the
insurrection, and his absence would
undoubtedly greatly disorganize the
enemy and render the suppression of
ilie insurrection all the easier.
It Alarms the Negroes.
Atlanta. Ga., Xov. 13. —The negroes
of Georgia are growing alarmed and
desperate over tno probability of the
passage of the llarwick bill now pen
jug before the State Legislature, which
means practically the disfranchise
ment of the negroes of the State.
Hooker W. Washington, who passed
1 through Atlanta two days ago, strong
l.v condemned the measure and gave
bis aid in preparing a memorial, sign
ed bj twenty-four prominent negroes
of \llanta. protesting against its en
aciuieni. The bill provides that no
person unable to read, write and uu
derstand any paragraph of the Federal
Constitution is qualified for voting in
Stale elections. The negroes say they
are willing to lose the ballot if all
white persons are included in this re
st riction.

MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED.
Porto Cabello Falls After a Furious
Fight.
Porto Cabello, Venezuela, Nov. 14.
—General Paredes, a former com
mander in the army of President An
'lrade, who had refused the demand
made upon him by General Cipriano
Castro and the de facto authorities to
■surrender the town, even when this
was reinforced by the request of the
Hritisli, American, French, German
and Dutch commanders, surrendered
Sunday, after a terrible battle.
The aspect of the city is one of ruin
!tnd devastation, and it is estimated
that upward of 650 persons were kill
ed or wounded in the ffcliting.
I)r. Braistecl of the United States

THE KENTUCKY ELECTIOP^
Omens of Trouble and Both Sides De

Louisville. Ky.. Nov. 11. I lie friends

candidate for Covet nor. declare that
they will blow up the State House,
with dynamite before Bradley shall
occupy it aftei Dee. 12. George \V.
Long, Chairman of the Republican
Campaign Committee, declares that
Taylor's election is a eertaintv. Ho
declares that Taylor will win by not
less than 2,000 majority, and Hint bis
majority may run up to 3,000.
All the armories throughout the
State are closely guarded. Governor
Bradley claiming that lie lias discov
ered a plot of the Goebeliles to seize
the arms and ammunition therein.
There is no denying thai Democrats
are greatly concerned over the re
turns. Corbel's majorities in strong
Democratic counties are being re
duced. In Kenton county, his home,
(here is n falling off of about 100 votes,
;inll Win reii. I'nion, Galloway anil ho
gun have taken votes from Corbel and
given thotn to Taylor.
The outlook is still serious. Ther
proclaim)!!;: ol' the results of the can
vass may precipitate a fierce and
bloody battle, as all llie na n involved
are game lighters
Louisville. Ky., Nov. 14. -The sec
ond week of uncertainty regarding the
result of the balloting for Governor be
gins with little prospecct of an imme
diate definite result. The official
count has been in progress two days,
and official returns front a large ma
jority of the 11!! Counties have nar
rowed the contest down to a nose

of its ticket, but the estimated plural
itv of either does not exceed 3,000.

Boer Invasion Begins.
London, Nov. 1-1 News from South
Africa indeatos that the lioer inva

Cape Colony seems in have begun in
earnest. A Boer commando is mov
ing in the neighborhood of Aliwal
North. Detachments have gone round

graph tine has been "'lit and (he rail
way torn up, destroying comiinmic.i
tions.
The Boors have been seen < lose to
He Aar. Colesberg also reports mv.td
ing forces approaching.
• Confirming this advance of the
Boers comes it despatch to the Seere
tary of State for War. with news of a
skirmish near Belmont. eighteen miles
north of the Orange River, a station
on the Kimberley iino. in which Lieu
tenant Colonel Cecil Keith Falconei
was killed and four lieutenants were
wounded. As Belmont is filt\ three
miles south of Kimberley as the crow
hies and eighty-six miles north of L)e
Aar by the same measurement, it
would appear that a strong foree 01
Boors lias established it sell on the
main line of communication from Kim
berley south to Ilopotown. I! • Aar and
Cape Town.
The wounded officers include some
of the North Lancashire regiment. It
is not stated what the British column s
strength is. but it is believed it was
probably a full battalion composed of
the North Lancashire regiment and
the Northumberland Fusiliers.
This information is the lirst that
has been received as to the where
abouts of the Northumberland Fusil
iers since they landed.
It is clear that the Boers are as
sembling on the Orange River in great
numbers. Everything points to this
district becoming eventually the een
tre of fierce encounters.
Absence of fuller news from this
region is taken to indicate that some
thing important is happening there.
It is unite likely that before long de
velopments there will throw the Lady

No news of any further lighting at
Ladysmith has been received so far
As is known, Ladysmith f an hold out
as long as required. It is stated that
there are unexpected stores there,
which will astonish the llocrs when
they deliver their attack. In t lie
meantime the guns sent up tc d.»fpnd
the town are silent. eHVc because
they have not. been successfullv
