People of Northern Ldiod Town Are
Tired Of the Insurrection And Want
to Ketorn to Their Agricultural Pur
suit Fleeting Rebels Have Little Time
to Destroy Kallroada.
Manila, Nov. 20,-10 a. m. The
American occupation of the country
between Manila and Dagupan ia pro
ceeding with a rush. General Mac
Arthur ia within five milea of Dagu
pan, which place General Wheaton or
General L wton will probably occupy.
The railroad ia practically intact be
yond Bambao, except for a destruction
of five milea. Kails for that portion
have been discovered. Large quanti
ties of rolling stock have, however,
been distroyed.
General MacArthur is moving his
troops by squads and the roada within
General Lw ton's territory are becom
ing passable.
Captain Leonhauser accomplished
one of the best coups of the war.;
Reaching O'Donnell by a night march
from Capas on November 18, he sur
prised the insurgent force, numbering
200,. and captured all of them, with
their arms, 10,000 rounda of ammuni
tion and four tons of subsistence.
Oae Filipino was killed, but there
were no American casualties.
Welcome the Americans.
MANILA, Nov. 19. 1 a. m. These
dispatches have been received from
correspondents of the Associated Press
accompanying the Americans advance
northward.
Gerona, Nov. 18. General MacAr
thur entered Gerona as already cabled
this afternoon. The insurgents bad
fled last Monday, alter burning the
depot. Nothing else was destroyed by
them. Gerona is the first town along
the Manila-Dagupan railway line1
where the natives did not run at the
approach of the Americans. The
padres offered qurrters in the church
and convent. The town baa one good
house. Gerona is the seat of heavy
English Bugar interests.
The trip here was a hard one and oc
cupied six hours in covering seven
milea and a half, most of the time be
ing spent in fording a quarter of a
mile running out of the Tarlac. We
have no wagons, and pack mules and
native bearers carry all our supplies.
The natives here say that B.tyom
bong wna occuoied last Sunday by
mounted troops, probably General
Young's brigade of General Lawton's
division. The people here are of a
better class than we have usually
found, and they welcomed the Ameri
cans, aa they evidently realize that
their agricultural interests will re
vive. General MacArthur said this after
tor noon: "We seem to be entering a
different political atmosphere. The
Deoole here seem to be less attached
to Aguinaldo'a cau9e than those in
manv towns wo have entered on the
railroad line."
The command will move northward
at daybreak tomorrow, toward. Bayom-
bong. Gerona will be garrisoned with
two companies of the Thirty-sixth.
Many Refugees Kloc't to Panlque.
Panique, Nov. 13. General Mac-
Arthur's troopa arrive! from Gerona
in the course of the morning. The
railroad beyond this point has not
been destroyed. The captured rail
way stock is being repaired to handle
supplies. The expedition will go
north toward Bayombong probably to
day. The signal corps is constructing
lines with great rapidity.
A native courier from Bayombong
reports that the American troops left
the town soon after they entered, and
that many native remain, though no
insurgents.
General MacArthur discovered here
Major Joneson, formerly chief surgeon
on the staff of the Filipino commander.
General Mascardo. He resides at
Bacolor. and is about to return there
to resume bis practice. Major Joneson
sava that all respectable Filipinos are
disgusted with the behavior of the in
surgents and are very glad that the
Americana have the upper hand.
A continuous procession of refugees
is entering Punique from the north,
indicating the proximity of other
American troops, probably off the rail
road line. These refugees say that
the insurgents have not known which
wav to turn, with the Americans oc-
& w
cupylng so many places in the north.
Panique is a rich sugar town. Some
of the wealthy Chinese and the poorer
natives fled at the first approach of our
troopa, but they are now confidently
returning. The rain has now ceased,
the weather is fine and the country
drying rapidly.
Monacada, 12:30 a. m. Advancing
through the enemy's country by train
from Panique, a distance of five miles,
the Americans reached Moncada,
where natives have displayed a
friendly disposition. The train is
'stalled by the wreck of two locomo
tives and fifty-four cars, evidently in
tentional, on the main track. The
freight house and oepot had been
burned. No attempt will be made to
save the wrecked rolling stock, but
the track will be cleared, and as soon
as two email breaks have been re
paired tne expeaiuon will continue
northward. Thus far the advance has
been a complete success.
Captain Carr of the signal corps has

ROBBED IN DAYLIGHT.

Tblef Makes 'Way With 6,500 In Cash
and Various Securities Perpetrator of
the Deed Makes Good Ills Kscape With
the Booty and Leaves No Cine to Ills
Identity.
Marsiialltown, Ia.. Nov. 20. At
the noon hour today the ofllce of the
Southwestern Mutual Life association
was entered, the safe blown open and
cash, drBfts and certificates of deposits
to the amount of about $6,50C ab
stracted therefrom.
The robbery was the boldebt in the
history of the city. The office of the
association is situated in the basement
of the court house, one floor below the
sheriff's office and but a short distance
removed from the court chamber in
which the session of the district court
was being held at the time. It is sur
rounded by offices which were more or
less occupied by employes at the time
and the corridors of the court house
were thronged with residents of the
city and county, called there by the
court. And yet no one has yet been
found who heard the explosion or saw
the departure of the robbers.
Tt took something less than fifteen
minutes for the robber to opan the
office door, by means of a pair of nip
pers, blow open the sife with giant
powder, tear the money box from its
place, wrap it in a woman's mackin
tosh hanging near, and make his es
cape.
President H. S. Halbert of the as
sociation was in the office until 12:30,
when he went to dinner and at pre
cisely 12:45 F. B. Cooper, another offi
cial, entered the office. During the
interval the robbery was committed.
The outside door of the safe had
been left unlocked, but the inner door
was secured with a double lock. The
thief filled the keyhole with some high
explosive, blew the door to pieces.
wrapped the money drawer in the
mackintosh and stole away unob
served, leaving no clue to his identity.
About $50 in cash, drafts and checks
aggregating $4,000, and five certifi
cates of deposit oi ifouu each were
taken, besides valuable papers. The
certificates were issued by the Mar
shalltown State bank in the name of
II. S. Halbert and by him indorsed in
blank.
The county treasurer's office is Im
mediately above the office which was
robbed and this office is connected by
an inside door with the auditor's office.
Shortly before the robbery an attempt
was made to unlock the door of the
auditor's office,but the man was fright
ened away by Auditor Hargreave, who
chanced to be in the office at the time.
From this it is believed the robber
had designs upon the county treasury.
Three Killed Br Pursued. J
tt-AZ -as tjiTY, imot. -jk. i rjiar spe
cial from Antlers, I. T., says: Near
Doakesville, thirty miles east of Ant
lers, Deputy United States Marshals
James Eunis and Doog Everidge and
John Kelly, a Goodland merchant,
were killed by two men named Bishop
and Frey, whom the officers were wy
ing to arrest for removing mortgaged
property. Bishop some time since
was sent to an insane asylum and while
confined there his wife mortgaged
their cattle and others belonging to
Kelly, she leaviug for Arkansas.
When Bishop was released recently
he claimed he had been drugged and
put in the asylum and declared he did
not intend to be robbed of his prop
erty. 1IAYYVAKI GETTING WOKSE

Dies at 8.31 This Mornlna; The Knd Is
Peart fat Cne.
Pateksox, N. J., Nov. 21. Garret
Hobart is dead. He passed away at
8:31 this morning.
The end was peaceful. The patient
died apparently without pain, falling
into a sleep from which he never
awoke.
Mrs. Hobart and other members of
the family are grief-stricken. It was
thought some days ago that the vice
president could not recover,but during
the last few days ho rallied so well
that soma hope was entertained.
Even his physicians who had already
given him up for lost, said yesterday
morning that there was some hope.
The vice president, for the first time
si n co his illness became serious, bad
been able to sit up in a chair and had
partaken of some nourishment. He i
had spoken enthusiastically of his
future plans and 6eemed to feel that
he would recover. It was the first
time also that he had been able to par
take of some nourishment other than
the lightest diet '
Until late at night it was not known
that the end was near. Mr. Hobart
retained his faculties almost to the
last hour. Apparently he knew that
the end had coma Toward morning
he fell into a heavy sleep, which por
tended death, and at 8:31 he passed
away. v
Members of the family were at his
bedside when the vice president passed
away.

believe it will be good party policy
and will strengthen our forces in the
pivotal states of New York and New
