Two of the Americans were killed and two mortally wounded. F.very man was hit, Lieut. Gilmore re ceiving a flesh wound In the leg, and his foot stuck fast In the mud. It was a choice between surrender and being slaughtered. Lieut. Gilmore asked the terms of re lease. The insurgents proposed -that ho should procure the delivery to them of the arms and munitions of the Spanish garri sons, undertaking, if this were accom plished, to send the Spaniards and Ameri cans to the Vorktown. A sailor of Lieut. Gilmore's party car ried this proposition to the garrison. The Spanish commandant replied that it was an insult to Spanish arms. The Americans were then bound hand and foot, and taken to San Isidro, when Gen. Luu a ordered their execution. They were marched to the plaza, and in the presence of a great crowd, were aligned to be executed. Lieut. Gilmoro said: "As an American officer and gentleman, I pro test against being shot with my hands tied." Aguinaldo interfered and prevented the execution. EATEN BY FLAMES.

Lord Methuen's force, advancing to the relief of Klmhrrlry, ngnin met the Boer army at Grns Pan, ten miles -north of Belmont, Saturday, and a desperate bottle, lasting many hours, ensued. The engagement was uot ended when the ottl oial report was ent, iut It was construed as a British victory, despite heavy losses, in which the naval detachment stood more than its share. A recapitulation of the losses by Gen. Methnen's forces at Gras Pan shows that fifty Boers-were killed and twice iinny wounded. The bmtle began at U n. in., lusting until 10 a. ni. Boer losses must have been much heavier than known. Fifty horses were found dead where the Boers withstood a steady rain of shrapnel. The British did not pursue the routed forces of the enemy, but halted one dny to rest. The brunt of the righting In both en gfljremcnts was borne by the Ninth brig ade, the uhvnl brigade, the Second York shire light infantry and First North Lan cashire regiment. The Boer force was composed of Transvaal and Free State commandoj. Its artillery was command ed by the Transvaal general, Delarrnye. The artillery, was carried off the field, de spite the flanking attack of tho British cavelry. Among the killed were Com mander Alfred 1. Ft heist en of the cruis er Powerful, Captain Guy Senior of the Royal marine artillery, attached to the battleship Monarch, mid Maj. Plunibc oi the Royal marines. Flag Captain K. O. Prattlers was severely wouuded. The Boers shelled n camp of Rh.xlesiau horse, north of Crocodile riv ?r, aud captured the horses and mules of the squadron. Up to da'e the Boers hold as prisoners thirty-nine ollleers, 1,237 men and sixty two political piisoiu-rs. The total Brit ish losses since the opening of the cam pak'ii on Oct.. lii are 222 killed, 8S1 wounded and U7U missing, making a total of 2,7711. About 4tH) who lire uot ac counted, Hj- feared, were killed. Gen. MciPu-n'a second battle foreshad ows n hard campaign for the British. The information sent by correspondents con cerniutf Geu. Joubert's movements Is not altogether reliable, and engagements may be looked for in unexpected places, (Jen. Jouhcrt. in nv.lnterview, declares the British will be j.eutly wcn'uoil by their losses, and thai a defensivivnr by the Boers will result in guerrilla wnrfsre the British could not long endure. A dispatch from Rome says many Ital ians are leaving there to join the Boers. The Boers in their marches frequently bait their horses aud disifiount to pray for divine guidance aud aid. As the sec ond stflud by th Boers at Gras 1'au was only ten miles from' where the HVst en gagement took place, another battle is expected as soou as the British again ad vance. DEATH OF GEORGE R.

Much interest is manifest In Washing ton otlicial circles as to the disposition ol Aguinaldo in case of his capture. Noiiit persons say that the best solution would be to put him to death in action. Should Aguinaldo escape to Hong Kong tht United States could not as a matter o right ask for his surrender, ond the Pres ident would therefore doubtless deter miuo to leave the Insurgent leader alone In connection with the disposition ol TBR SI.iri'K.RV Afit'IVAMlO. Aguiualdo in case of capture, the authori ties would have to consider the effect ol their policy upon the natives.
