NEBRASKA CITY , Neb. , Dec. S.
A lingering whiff of luminous fra
grance from banks of splendid llow-
ers ; a few heartfelt sentences of lov
ing eulogy ; a loving look at the past
and all that mortality ever claimed of
Senator Monroe L. Hayward was tear
fully consigned to the marble sarco
phagus that may mark his resting
place until time shall be no more.
It was the expressed wish of the
family that the funeral should bo as
private as possible. In some respects
It was , as the ceremony was decidedly
simple , although prolonged. During
the hours of between 10 a. in. and 12
m. the remains lay In state In the
front parlor. Great bunches of rare
exotics and sincerely suggestive de
signs rested 012 every table and over
the iiasslve metallic casket sheathed
In deep velvet. The face of the dead
senator was but little wasted and the
< ; olor was an animated gray , devoid
of the yellow transparency of death.
Hundreds passed around the bier.
As soon as the parlors were vacated
nnd the family spent therein the most
agonizing hour that cornea to mortals.
The mainstay among them was the
gallant son , William , who sought to
comfort his mother for the absence
of her other son In the Philippines.
The services were conducted by
Rev. H. L. House of the Baptist
church. Scripture reading was given
by Rev. C. M. Shepherd , a Methodist
pastor.
The eulogy by Mr. House was elo
quent and prolonged. Passing the
public career of the dead senator he
pointed out the many sterling attri
butes that made him great and strong.
His homo was a typical Christian
I'.ome of a generation ago , where ro-
"bust and man\y virtues were incul
cated. He was a typo of that Amer
ican citizen of whom wo all are
proudest. He possessed the spirit that
made the people of England love their
.grand old man. He was a man of the
people , a student , a thinker , a hard
worker. Above all ho was honest and
possessed the genuineness of life ; ho
was a born orator , public spirited , en
terprising man , loving husband , indul
gent father , clean politician and true
pitriot.
The cortege was" the longest ever
scon in tlio city. Jt extended over a
mile of streets. In the carriages com
prising the guard of honor were the
following honorary pallbeircrs : C. F.
Manderson , W. S. Summers , C. 0.
Whedon , Byron Clark , William Mc-
Lennen and G. M. Lambertson.
Company C , national guard , and
William Baumer Post , Grand Army of
the Republic , formed a guard at the
grave.
Rev. House consigned the dust to
the tomb amid tears of sincere sorrow
row and the grave was left to bo cov
ered with earth by the secton in soli
tude.
tude.Mrs.
Mrs. Hayward was not seen during
the obsequies except when she passed
with oilier members of the family
from an upper apartment to her closed
carriage. One notable circumstance
that points to the simplicity of the
ceremonies was that there was no
music.

MANILA , Dec. S. Thu expectation
of catching Agulnnldo In the north haa
been practically abandoned and the
probability now Is that ho will turn
southward If he ID not already there
with his destination Gavito province ,
his hope , where the Insurrection began
and whore It still has its greatest
strength.
The Filipino soldiers hi that prov
ince have recently been showing in
creased enthusiasm and boldness nnd
captured insurgents say thai Agulnaldo
Is coming to Join them with a largo
army. The eamo belief prevails amon'4
the natives at Manila and elsewhere ,
that Agulnnldo intends tc make hid
headquarters in Cavllo province.
There are 3,000 insurgents before
Imus and Bacoor , keeping the Ameri
cans sleeping on their arms nnd night
ly awaiting attack. The Filipinos
have several cannon.
The first mayor of Inius under the
American regime , who ultimately de
serted , Is their leader In the assaults
and is ambitious to take the town.
Three soldiers of the Fourth infan
try have deserted and are now with
the enemy.
Most of the inhabitant ? of Imus are
so strong in their sympathies with
the insurgents that it is necessary lo
use a part of the regiment to patrol
the streets and prevent shooting from
houses whenever an attack begins.
The American forces in the north
have separated into many small com
mands and are pursuing bands of Fili
pinos.
General MacArthur Is engaged in
clearing the mountain country west
of the Manlla-Dagupan railroad.
General Grant is moving from An
geles toward Sublg , with 400 men.
Colonel Bell is sweeping south from

Thus far the American commanders
have been unable to locate Inrge bed
ies of insurgents , although there wera
about 500 in San Clementine , niiv ;
miles south of Mangatarem , early in
the week.
