FATE OF GILMORE.
A't ihcntto New of the Lieutenant
I Received at Vlgan.
Manila: When the landing party from
the United States battleship Oregon, under
Lieutenant Commander McCrackin, took
the town of Vlgan, province of South
llocos, Sunday, Nov. 26, they found there
an escaped prisoner, A. L. Sonnenshein,
who furnished Uie first authentic account
of the experience of Lieut. James C. Gil
more of the United States gunboat York
town. Mr. Sonnenshein was imprisoned
at Abra for a long time with Lieut. Gil
moro and seven sailors, but contrived to
escape, carrying a concealed note, written
In naval cipher, signed "Gilmoro." '
According to Mr. Sonnenshein, when
Lieut. Gilmore's launch entered tho rivor,
from Baler harbor, under cover of Ensign
W. II. Standley's gun, the landing was re
ceived with throe volleys.
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.

patrons outside the city and promising
large profits on investments, have been
closed, and efforts to find Lipman Kcene,
president; Charles L. Work, secretary and
Miss M. C. Carson, cashier, havo been un
availing. Tho company began business here four
years ago. Its plan was to invite the in
vestment of capital, inducements being
held out of interest rangiug from 100 to 200
percent. In explaining why such large
gains are made the company asserted in
Ms literature that it was in the confidence
u. stock manipulators, and therefore in a
position to know which way stocks would
go. As the result of these statements
cash flowed in in a steady stream. It is
thought the firm has over $100,0;X) invested
for its patrons.

BATTLE AT GRAS PAN.
Gen. Metliuen ttscts llocr Force Ten
Miles from Hclmont.
Gen. 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.

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
