Reported Unconditional Surrender of En tire Province of Ramboatiga, CHIEFS DECLARE THEIR LOYALTY. Molt Encouraging News Tet Received From the Philippine Insurrection — Capitulation Made to Commander Very —Americans Are Aided Somewhat by Acts of Friendly Natives. WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Secretary of the Navy Long today received a cablegram from Admiral Watson In forming him that the entire province of Zamboanga, island of Mindanao, had surrendered unconditionally to Com mander Very of the Castine. The sur render was made on the 18th Inst. Ad miral Watson’s dispatch follows: CAVITE, Nov. 2tf, 1899.—Secretary of the Navy, Washington: November 18 entire province of Zamboanga sur rendered to Very unconditionally. De livered all guns promised. Numerous local chiefs declared loyalty. WATSON. The information contained in Ad miral Watson’s dispatch was received by the president and his advisers with unconcealed satisfaction. The surren der of the province of Zamboanga is regarded as the beginning of the end of the revolution in the island of Min danao and it is believed it will be a hard blow to those who are still en deavoring to maintain the insurrection in the island of Luzon. On the 21st inst. Admiral Watson cabled the navy department that Com mandor Very had captured the city of Zamboanga on the lGth. He was aided by the friendly natives and Moros and was holding the town pending the ar rival of reinforcements from Jolo.

Zamboanga Is the principal province of the Island of Mindaona, which is the second largest of the Philippine isl ands. AdviceB from Admiral Watson indicate that the entire southern half of the Island, which comprises the province of Zamboanga, has yielded to the American forces and acceded to the authority of the United States. WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—The war department has not l*?en advised of the surrender of the province, as re ported in Admiral Watson’s dispatch, Secretary Root saying tonight he had no news today from General Otis. Both Secretaries Root and Long are elated over the information sent by the ad miral and express the belief that the end of the insurrection in the Philip pine islands is now near at hand. AT HOBART'S BEREAVED HOME. Ore at Crowd Gather* About llouie nod Cemetery. NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—There was a big crowd of visitors to Paterson, N. J., yesterday. The street In front of Car roll Hall, the Hobart home, was crowd ed all day. The greatest however, gath ered at Cedar Lawn cemetery. There a special detail of police had to be maintained to keep the crowds from trampling about the graves, and the crowds about the receiving vaults. It is not likely Vice President Hobart’s body will be placed in the ground. It Is tho intention of the family to erect a tomb upon the plot of land where Miss Fannie Hobart lies, and beside whose body, it Is generally supposed the body of Mr. Hobart would be placed. Tho ( work will probably be commenced before long, so it Is doubt ful if the body of the, vice president will be removed from Its present rest ing place until the tomb of the family Is erected.

LONDON, Nov. 27.—(New York World Cablegram)—Cape mall brings uncensored letters from Churchill from Capetown November 1, In which he says: “The situation In Cape Colony has become much graver. It Is possible that had the war broken out three months ago the loyalty of the Dutch would have been demonstrated for all time. War after three months’ hesi tation proved too severe a test and is is no exaggeration to say that a con siderable portion of Capecolony .trem bles on the verge of rebellion. Dutch farmers talk loudly and confidently of our victories, meaning those of Boers, and racial feeling runs high." Knight, World correspondent, writ ing from DeAar Junction, Novomber 6, complains bitterly of censorship, and declares that the British had 10,000 horses, miles of transport wagons, with 55,000,000 worth of stores, at DeAar Junction and left them there without any military protection, says: “It is wonderful, indeed," he goes on, “that the Boers did not attempt to seize these valuable prizes a week ago when the camp was practically unde fended. Our position Is far from se cure even now.” LONDON, Nov. 27.—Special dis paches from Pietermaritzburg an nounce the arrival of General Buller there. He met with a splendid recep tion.

LITTLE CHANGE IN HAYWARD. Patient Passe* a Restless Nlght.and Con dition Improves. NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Nov. 27.— Senator Hayward had another b;id night, and when morning dawned his condition was not so good as on the previous evening. This had been the course that his case has taken dui - ing the last few days and is regarded as anything but a favorable symptom. In fact, Dr. Whitten was considerably discouraged at the condition of his pa tient this morning. The senator is gradually growing weaker, his pulse is accelerated and it is thought by those best acquainted with the case that he cannot survive a great while longer. While Mr. Hayward’s condition is worse in the morning, yet during the day the symptoms show a somewhat better condition, but this cannot be le garded as anything permanent. At 9 o'clock this morning Dr. Whitteu is sued the following bulletin: "Senator Hayward passed a restless night. At this hour his temperature is 99 6-8; pulse, 90; respiration, 20, and intermittent. His mental condition re mains the same. Paralysis unchanged. Acceleration of pulse and temperature considered unfavorable.” At 7 p. m. the following bulletin was issued by Dr. Whitten: "Senator Hayward passed a compar atively comfortable day. He took food and rested and slept some. Tempera ture at 7 p. m., 99.5; pulse, 80; respira tion, 23. Paralysis and mental condi tion remain the same.” OPENS DOOR EOR INTERVENTION Kngland'a Formal Declaration of War Gives Powers a Wedge. ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 27.—The Russian newspapers announce that the British charge d’affairs has informed the Russian government that Great Britain has been in a state of war with the Dutch republics in South Africa since August 12. Tne Svet, commenting upon this says: “England, in giving this notifi cation, withdraws her declaration that she is not carrying on war, but is merely subjugating rebels.” TJie Navoe Vremya, which attributes far-reaching importance to the British I notification, says: “The powers are now in a position to send not only Red Cross agents, but military agents as well, and they may judge this a fitting time to intervene, especially as the Afrikanders are going more and more to the Boer side.” Czar ltuy* American Horne*. CHICAGO, Nov. 27.—Baron Pail Vietlnghoff, a representative of the Russian government, is in Chicago buying horses for the czar’s army. Baron Vietlnghoff says that already 1,000 American horses, purchased prin cipally in Kentucky and Virginia, have been shipped to the czar’s dominions and 1,000 more are to follow them as soon as the baron makes the selec tions. “Not only am I buying for the ar my,” he said, “but for breeding pur poses as well. The animals shipped ' tor military use go merely as an expev I iment. They will be divided into lots I of four and six in different garrisons | and given a trial.” Hold I.ast Council of War. MANILA, Nov. 27.—The last Fili pino council of war was held by the retreating leaders at Bayambong on November 13 in the house now occu pied by General MacArthur. It was attended by Aguinaldo, Pie del Pilar, Garcia, Alejandrino and some mem bers of the so-called cabinet. Infor mation has reached General MacAr thur from several sources to the effect that the council recognized the futility of attempting any further resistance to the Americans with united forces and agreed that the Filipino • troops should scatter and should hereafter follow guerilla methods. What to Do With Aguinaldo. WASHINGTON, Nov. 27— Consider able interest is being taken in social circles here as to the disposition of Aguinaldo in case of capture. It is frankly admitted that the best solution would be his death in action, but this is not expected. Should he be cap utred, General Otis will undoubtedly await instructions from Washington as to the treatment he should accord him. Should Aguinaldo escape to Hcng Kong, the United States could not, as a matter of right, ask for his surrender and the president would therefore doubtless determine to leave the Insurgent leader alone. PURSUIT OF AGUINALDO Passes Aringay on the Ocaat Between San Fabian and San Fernando. MAKING FOR MOUNTAIN REGION. Americans Hare a Little Bra.li With Filipino Rear Guard—Rebels Retrrat With Unknown Loss—Insurgents Mow Given No Resting Spells. MANILA, Nov. 23.—Geneva! Young reports that Aguinaldo, with a party of 200, including some women and a few carts, passed Aringay, on the coast be tween San Fabian and San Fernando, in the province of Union, on Friday, November 17. The general adds that Aguinaldo probably intended to strike inland through the Binqua mountains toward Bayambong, in the province of Nueva Viscaya. General Young, with cavalry and Macabebes, is pursuing the Filipino leader, part of the Aberican force tak ing the direction of San Fernando. In a light with Aguinaldo’s rear guard at Aringay one Maccabebe was wounded and the insurgents retreated. Their lose is unknown. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—General Otis today cabled the War department as follows: "MANILA, Nov. 22— Dispatch 21st from Lawton at Tayug reports Young with cavalry and Maccabebe scouts at Aringay, with advance north to Bao ang rear San Fernando about to move on trail east to Trinidad. Young re ports considerable insurgent force moving in that direction; that Agui naldo is in charge, seeking to cross over to Bayambong. “Portions of Lawton’s troops now being pushed through to Tayug with rations. Battalion Twenty-fourth will join Lawton tomorrow. Nothing from Wheaton for several days. MacArthur operating west of railroad and north of Tarlann. Wire from Tarlann north working; troops on entire railroad line rationed without difficulty. “Iloilo reports seven companies Sixth and Twenty-sixth volunteers, under Dickman, struck insurgents northeast Jaro; casualties six wound ed. Enemy left on field eighteen killed. Dickman captured seven prisoners, four one-pound brass field pieces and several thousand rounds ammunition. Eighteenth infantry yesterday drove insurgents north on Santa Barbara. Hughes with column north and west of Santa Barbara; reports of reoults not yet received.” The dispatch from General Otis does not yet make it appear that the ef forts to capture Aguinaldo and the larger portion of his army will be successful. The intention of General Young to prevent Aguinaldo reaching Bayonbong seems evident, but this seems scarcely probable now. Some errors have been made in the trans mission of the dispatch. Bayonbong is evidently meant instead of uayam bong. The town given as Tarlann is probably Tarlac, as the situation of MacArthur .would indicate that he is operating not far from that place. No alarm is felt regarding the situation of General Wheaton, as he has been for some time beyond telegraphic com munication. DEWEY WILL ALWAYS OWN IT. Admiral and Wife Retain Life Interp: t In the Washington Home. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23—The deed transferring the Dewey home from Admiral and Mrs. Dewey to the admir al’s son George was recorded in the office of the recorded of deeds today.

TO RELIEF OF KIMBERLY. Methuen Rapidly Advancing—England to Call out Sixth Corps. LONDON, Nov. 23.—The Daily Mail publishes a dispatch from Naauwpoort, dated Wednesday, which says that a laige force under General Metheuu has crossed the Orange river and is ad vancing to the relief of Kimberly. The Daily Mail says this moruing: “We are unable to confirm the re port that orders have been issued to mobilize a sixth division at Aldershot lor service in South Africa or wherever it may be wanted.” Hanna to Be a Pall Bearer. CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 23—Senator Hanna received a request from Mrs. Hobart today that he be one of me active pallbearers at the funeral of the late vice president.

Nov. 23.—The window glass jobbers concluded their conven tion today. They organized an associ ation to be known as the National Window Glass Jobbers’ association. No officers were elected, everything being left to two committees. The names of the members of these committees were not made public. The association may be capitalized to a certain extent, but the total capital stock will be well within half a million dollars, it was said. It was asserted that prices will not be raised as a result of the forma tion of the association. FILIPINOS GIVING UP. President of Agulnaldo’s Congress Bar* renders to MacArthur at Tarlac. MANILA, Nov. 25.—Senor Buenca mino, a former member of the aocalled cabinet of Aguinaldo, haa been brought to General Otis a prisoner on board the transport Brutus. He had sought refuge in a village near San Fabian, with Aguinaldo's mother and son. The natives disclosed his Identity to Major Cronin, who captured him. General Young is still in the moun tains on the trail of Aguinaldo. Bautista, president of the Filipino congress, presented himself to General MacArthur at Tarlac today and formal ly renounced all further connection with the insurrection. M.XK3 naa uiiu ui ilit* muucuuai rmyr rios who hesitated at the beginning of the war as to which side on which to cast his lot. He was offered a judge ship of the supreme court, but declined. He now announces that he desires to accept the position and says the Filipino congress and cabinet are scat tered, never to reassemble. Some of the members, he adds, have returned to their homes, while others are flying for safety. Many of the congressmen have resigned and he be lieves the Filipino soldiers will lay down their arms everywhere as soon as they learn the truth. WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—General Otis summarizes the situation in Lu zon In a dispatch to the war depart ment today in which he says that the insurgent government can no longer claim to exist, its troops and officers are scattered and Aguinaldo in hiding. The dispatch follows: “MANILA, Nov. 24.—Claim to gov ernment by insurgents can be made uo longer under any friction; its treas urer, secretary of the interior and pres dent of congress in our hands; it3 pres ident and remaining cabinet officers in hiding evidently in different parts of central Luzon provinces; its gen erals and troops in small bands scat tered through these provinces acting as banditti or dispersed, playing tho role of ‘amigos’ with arms concealed. Indications are that Aguinaldo did not escape through the lines of Lawton or Wlietfton, but fled westward from Bayambong railway station. Tele graphic communication to Dagupan es tablished, probably to San Fabian to day; by relaying nine mile3 of track with material at hand railway commu nication to that point re-established; labor of troops must attend mainten ance.” HARD LINES AT MAfEKING. Boers Drawing Nearer and Garrison Practically Under Ground. MAGALAPIE, Cape Colony, Sunday, Nov. 19.—A dispatch received here from Mafeking, dated Wednesday, No vember 15, says: “The garrison is cheerful, but the position is daily growing more difficult. The Boers are always drawing their entrenchments closer and are inces santly plying the British with artillery and musketry fire. The garrison is living almost entirely in underground shelters and the health of the troops is suffering.” WAR DAMAGE CLAIMS. Those That Have Been Filed to Date Aggregate 985,000,000. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 23.— Claims have been filed up to date on account of damages sustained by American citizens by the Spanish war to the amount of $25,000,000, and the president is expected to submit a rec ommendation in his message to con gress, looking to the appointment cf a commission to adjudicate these ciaims and make provision for the payment of such as are found to be legitimate. This action will be taken under arti cle 7 of the treaty of peace. LOOKING OIT FOR SHAFTER, President Will Advise His Retirement as a Major Gsneral. WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—The pres ident will aBK the incoming congress to pass an act retiring General Shatter, with the rand of major general in the regular army.
