Several Filipino Leaders Are Tired of Fighting. {The Native Chief's Army Badly Scat ( tered With Young Hot on Their | JTrail—Many Filipinos Applying to | General Otis For Permission to En joy Luxuries of Manila. Manila, Nov. 28. —News which the steamship Brutus brings from Dagupan dispels all doubts that the so-called Filipino Republe is crumbling like a house of cards. Aguinaldo is deserting or being abandoned by the politicians, and the army which a fortnight ago was entrenched at Tarlac and exercised a de facto government over nine-tenths of the inhabitants of Luzon is fugitive in the mountains, with small hope of re-establishing the machine. The army is scattered in the hills on both sides of the railroad, and widely separated detachments are within the cordon which Generals Lawton and Wheaton have completed. The ruling spirit of the Cabinet is a prisoner in Manila—a white elephant In the hands of the authorities—and the small fry are tumbling over one an other to get to Manila. Three prov incial tlovernors have arrived here to request General Otis to install them in their old offices under the new regime. Dr. Luna, a brother of General Luna, and a prominent Filipino, has arrived, and his friends and many others are applying to Generul Otis for permis sion to enjoy the luxuries of Manila after months of separation from civil ization. Parties of Filipinos made feeble at tacks upon Imus and the Zapote bridge Saturday night. The only large organ ized forces of natives known to remain are those In the Cavlte province, at San Mateo, and In the Zambeles Moun tains, though several seaports have large garrisons. Aguinaldo began bis retreat with two thousand men under General Gregorio del Pilar. That force was probably re duced to its present proportion by de sertion. The last definite news as to Aguinaldo's whereabouts is that he passed through Trinidad, east of Arin gay, toward Bayombong, escorted by two hundred men of the Bulaean bat talion, which had dwindled from six Hundred within a week. General Tino, who fought the Thir ty-third at San Jacinto, is supposed to have joined him. A letter from Gen eral Tlno has been intercepted in which the writer says two hundred of his men were killed or wounded, and that he had had enough and was going to the mountains. General Young lei't Tayug on Nov. 13 to connect with General Wheaton, with the Macabebes and three troops of cav alry. Two troops, commanded by Cap tain Hunter and Lieutenant Thayer, pushed through to Aringan. From that point Lieutenant Thayer, with twelve men, started for San Fabian, taking the chances of getting through the lines of the enemy, supposed to lie be tween Aringan and San Fabian. After a daring ride by way of Ma galdan and San Jacinto, he arrived at San Fabian on November 14, dashing through a considerable force of the en emy at Magaldan. His undertaking was reported at Manila by courier from General Young to San Jose. The fate oi' Lieutenant Thayer and his com panions was unknown until now, and fear prevailed here that they had either been killed or captured. Cronln's battalion marched to Po zorrubio. there finding General Young's force, which had just learned that Aguinaldo had passed through Aringan on his way to Binalonan the' night be fore. General Young started to head • iff the party at l'ozorrubio, and might have succeeded but that he took the wrong road, reaching Manaoag, where be struck the rear guard of the Filipino chief. Aguinaldo is on Ihe mountain trails, with twenty-five horses in the party, and has a good chance of eluding the Americans unless he gets among hos tile natives. Business men of Dugupan and many foreigners sent word to General Whea ton that the Filipinos had evacuated 'he place and requested that he gar rison It. Captain Howland took a battalion of the Thirteenth regiment and proceed ed to Dagupan. He found two thous and five hundred persons in the town, the population of which Is fifty thous and, the rest having fled to the sur rounding swumps. Captain Howland reinstalled in office the local authori ties of Aguinaldo's government, all of whom took the oath of allegiance. The Third cavalry had one man kill ed and several wounded in the fight at Santo Tomas. The movement against the natives in the island of Panay has resulted In driving them to the mountains, over twenty miles inland. The troops en gaged were two battalions of the Nine teenth regiment, a battalion of the Twenty-sixth regiment, the Eighteenth regiment. Gordon's mounted scouts and Brldgman's battery of the Sixth artil lery. The Americans lost five men kill ed and had thirty-eight men wounded. General Hughes, Colonel Carpenter and Colonel Edmund Rice commanded during the various fights. Thirty-two ' natives were killed in the engagements , and the natives reported that nineteen ; cart loads of wounded were taken ; away. Among the Americans killed was a. lieutenant of the Eighteenth regiment, and a sergeant of artillery. Twelve ol»- i "oU-te cannon were captured. j STILL' LOOKING FOR MILLER. Officers and Depositors Would Like to Locate the "Financier." | Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 28. —Since Wil liam P. Miller, the "Napoleon" of ques tionable financiering, departed from the money mill of the Franklin Syndicate Friday afternoon the police and de tectives have been trying to figure out what direction he took and those v/hom he had so successfully duped have been working equally as hard to figure out v. hat he took besides the direction. News has been received here since the warrant was issued for the arrest of Miller, that he had been seen in Boston, Philadelphia, and other points, but as a matter of fact his whereabouts is as deep a mystery now as it was on Saturday when hundreds of angry men and women who had their money de- Posited with the "syndicate" swarned about Miller's late place of business on Floyd street, clamoirng for a glimpse of the man who had promised them such enormous dividends. All of them had made up their minds that they could take care of their money fully as well as the Franklin Syndicate could, but they found the door locked, the business in the hands of an assignee, and the money—well, none of them were able to locate that, and it is pretty generally understood that the coming winter will be a hard one on those v, ho were depending on the dividends accurrlng from their deposits with lllller to carry tSem through. Since Saturday morning all mail for the Franklin Syndicate has been held at the postofflce and at the present time there arc nearly 1.000 letters—registered and containing money orders in the postmaster's custody. Miller's receipts from out of town depositors ranged from SI,OOO to $13,000 a day. aside from what came by express and that which was paid over the counter by people residing in the city. It is claimed that since the estab lishment op tied up for business there liaa been paid iu over $1,000,000 and that Miller now lias in his possession over $7."0,000 of the money. The Strife Not Ended. New York, Nov. 27.—Rear Admiral Schley's departure on a crui.-e with the South Atlantic Squadron, which is was calculated would give ivii.f fr. m the Incessant controversy that lias waged since the destruction of Admiral Cer vpra's squadron. 1- s. Instead, only (Rear-Admiral .'-chley.) served to intensify the general convic tion that the strife will not end with ovt an investigation by Congress, a naval court of inquiry of a court-mar tial. Facts have become public since the flagship Chicago sailed which tend strongly to show that an official in quiry of some kind, at an early date, is inevitable. Will Use Gatlinq Guns.

A Second Army Corps Likely to Be Sent to South Africa at an Early Date—General Methuen Will March onto Kimberley—Heavy Fighting For Both Sides. London, Nov. 2s. —It will not be exag j gerating to say that it is the confident I public belief that the tide has now turned in South Vfriea. that General Methuen will inarch almost unopposed ; to Kimberley, that Gen. Gatacre will soon drive the Oiange Free Staters across the Orange River toward Bloom : fontein. and that General Buller will J start within a few days with an In > vincible force to the speedy relief of I Estcourt and T.ndysmith. Opposed to this optimism it? the most sanguine I .military view of the situation, namely. I that Gen. Methuen must fight a far j heavier battle at Modder River than he | fought at Belmont, and even then tin i relief of Kimberley will not be assured; 1 that General Gntacre, after being heav j ily re-enforced, must successfully pros- I ccute .i difficult campaign against Stormberg and other Boer strongholds before he can force the enemy back, and he must employ a large portion of his force to subdue the rebellious Cape Colonists. Rut Gens. Methuen's and Gatacre's tasks are easy compared with the ordeal before the British army in Natal. Even the patrotie English masses understand in a vague way that bloody work is ahead in the difficult Natal passes. No account is made In this general survey of the problem of serious com plications'threatened by a Basuto vis ing and the urgent necessity for the re lief of Col. Baden-Powell's gallant 111 tie force at Mnfeking. The natural popular demand for the latter action is unjustified and Impracticable from the point of view of cold, military sciene. The progress of an expeditionary for. .' to Kimberley anil Mafeking through a hostile country of more than 200 mile-, where the enemy is In great force mu-t necessarily be slow. In the light of all these hard facts it is generally admitted by all who .• opinion is valuable that Great Brltiiie must prepare herself for some trying hours and sad sacrifices before tli final triumph of her arms. A second full army corps should i> sent out at the earliest moment. Th< re is no official announcement to this feet, but there is some reason to i e lieve that such is now the Govern ment's intention. Two-thirds of the transports which carried the first co#ps to South Africa will be back in English ports before the fresh troops are ready to sail, and these, with the important additions to the fleet, like the Majestic, will probably start off for South Africa within two or three weeks. A prominent German general and staff officer, in friendly criticism, has been telling the British authorities In the Times how grave is the necessity for sending large re-enforcements to South Africa. He affirms from positive knowledge that the Boers are able to put 60.000 men in the field. Against this force the English have 80,000 men. From these, he points out, must be de ducted those needed to keep open the requisite base lines as well as the forces necessary for checking risings in Capo Colony and for garrison duty lit , the chief centres. He adds: "I hold the opinion, one which is freely shared by brother staff officers, that not less than 10.000 to 45,000 men will be ab sorbed by such necessities, leaving 000 lo 10,000 for active military opera tions It must be further taken into account that n majority of the men are unused to the climate and an tut usual percentage of sickness must be expected. The local geography is a sesiled book to most of the British and an unusual number of reserve, men must be pressed into use before the English are in a military condition nec essary for such a campaign. I do not consider that our German view is jus tified, viz: How can England expect to crush a force of at least fiO.OOO Boer with an army of to.ooo available for offence, when we consider that these 50,000 Boers are acclimatized and know every yard of the country and its ca paeities for traps for the bravest Eur opean troops? They shoot admirably and they are manoeuvred with an as tonishing strategical ability. An experienced war correspondent. It; a despatch mailed to escape the cen sor, predicts that by the beginning of December :ifl,ooo British Dutchmen will have joined the invading Boers. H<- nibls that every Boer commando that has come on British soil has been lik• ■ a rolling snowball. inereuMng as it moves. The same correspondent says th-it nil the staff officers with whom lv has discussed the situation agree In fixing the middle of March for the end of the campaign. One Postal Clerk Kills Another.
