-it, 1" OTIS SAYS IT IS OVEn REPORTS THAT AGUINALDO'8 REPUBLIC 18 CRUSHED. Claims Mad That Force or Fili pino Ar Widely Scattered and Demoralized. Manila, Nov. 28.-The new which the Steamship Brutus brings from Dagupan dlapela all doubts that the so-called Filipino republic is crumbling like a house of cards. Agulnaldo is deserted or being aban doned by the politicians, and the army, which a fortnight ago was Intrenched t Tarlac, and exercised a defacto gov ernment over nine-tenths of the people of Luzon, is fugitive In the mountains with small hope of re-establishing the machine. The army Is scattered In the hills on both sides of the railroad, and the separated detachments are within the cordon which Generals Lawton and Wheaton have cemented. The ruling spirit in the cabinet is a prisoner in Manila, a white elephant on the hands of the authorities, and the mall fry are tumbling over one an other to get to Manila. Three provincial governors have ar rived In Manila to ask General Otis to Install them In their old offices under the new regime. Dr. Luna, a brother of General Luna, and a prominent insur rectionist, has arrived here, and him self and many others are applying to General "Otis for permission to enjoy the luxuries of Manila, after months of eparatlon fro mctvlllzation. There were no demonstrations over the victory here. The flags are flying at half mast out of respect for Vice President Hobart. The natives appear to be unmoved and business Is unruf fled. Friday night parties of Insurgents made feeble attacks upon Imus and Zapote bridge. The only large organ Ised force of Insurgents known to re main are those In the Cavite province at Ban Mateo and In the Zambeles mountains, though several forts have large garrisons. Agulnaldo began his retreat with 2.000 men under General Gregorlo del Pilar That force was probably reduced to Its present proportions by desertion. do's whereabouts is that he passed thro' Trinldsrd, Eastern Arlngay, toward Bayambng, escorted by 2j0 men of the Bulacan battalion, who dwindled from WO within a week. General Mlno, who fought the Thirty-third at Han Jacinto, is supposed to have Joined him. A letter from General Mno has been Intercepted. In which the 'writer says that 20 of his men had been killed or mounded, that he had enough and was going to the mountains. STILL ON TUB TRAIL. General Young, with the Maccabebe and Chase's scouts, Is still on the trail of the fugitives. Men and horses are badly used up. General Wheaton Is trying to get reinforcements and sup . Biles to them from the coast. General Young left Tayug November 13. to connect with General Wheaton with the Maceabebe and three troops of cavalry. Two troops, commanded by Captain Hunter and Lieut. Thayer, pushed through to Aslgnan. From that point Lieutenant Thayer, with twelve men, started for San Fabian, taking the chances of getting through the lines of the enemy, who were suppos ed to be between Aslngan and Fabian. During a during ride by way of Mc- Oeldan and San Jacinto, he arrived at Sua Fabian November 14. dashing thro' a considerable force of the enemy at Magaidan. Ills undertaking was re ported at Manila by courier from Gen eral Young at Kan Jose. The fate of Lieutenant Thayer and his companions was not known until today and fears prevailed here that they had been eith er killed or captured. Major Swlgert, with the other two troope reconnoltered toward Pozzerublo twice attacking a force which It was afterwards learned was Agulnaldo' rear guard. In the meantime General Wheaton sent the Thirteenth regiment to San Tornas. and at Rosarlo, two launches from the Oregon, Lieutenant Nlblack commanding, along the shore The insurgents were found Intrenched at Rosarlo. Buck's battalion and the launcelis drove them from the trench and routed them, the Thirteenth regl nvnt losing one man killed and three wounded. Cronan's battalion marched to Pozzc rublo, there finding General Young's force, which had Just learned that Agulnaldo has passed Asingan on his way to Bonalonan tne nigni oeiore, BUT HI" ESCAPED AGAIN. General Young started to head off the party at Pozzerublo, and might have succeeded, but that he took the wrong road, reaching Manaoag, where he hit the rear guard of the Insurgent cnier, captured a quantity of supplies, Aguln aldo's wife's effects and thirty-five Remlnrtons. Darkness coming on com. pellet him to abandon the pursuit for the night, and a heavy rainfall on the two following days handicapped mm further, otherwise Agulnaldo might have been captured. Buencamlno's endurance was ex hausted. He had left Agulnaldo's party there and remained among tne Ameri cans a week until the natives betrayed him. ,, Agulnaldo Is on the mountain trails, having twenty-five horses In the party, and has a good chance of eluding the Americans, unless he gets among hos tile natives. General Law ton arrived In San r a blan November 15, after an exhausting trip. He arranged the distribution of troops In the surrounding country and started for Tayug on Sunday. The business men of Dagupan and many foreigners have sent word to General Wheaton that the Insurgents had evacuated and requested that he garrison the place. Captain Howland took a battalion of the Thirteenth reg iment and proceeded to Dagupan. He found 2 500 people In a town, whose . nominal' population Is 60,000, the re mainder having ed to the swarnps. Captain Howland reinstalled In office the local authorities of Agulnaldo government, all of whom took the oath of allegiance. ' The Third cavalry had one man Mil. 4 and three wounded In the fight at Santo Tom as. The movement against the Insurgent! In th Island of Pansy has resulted n driving them to the mountains, twenty miles inward. The troop engaged were two bat talion of the Nineteenth regiment, a battalion of the Twenty-lth regiment the Eighteenth regiment, Gordons mounted couts and Brldgman s bat tery of the Slth artillery.

I tke urn ii mm, Empror' Visit Bitterly Criticised In Duthland. Berlin, Nov. 28. The visit Of Kmner- or William to England, although more or less atseounted before hand, has oc cupled public opinion this week abovi all else. Even the most rabid Anelo. phobes found little fault with the re ports of his majesty's reception. Some of the papers commented, in a friendly way, on the evidences of good will and sympathy shown the emperor, even by the lower classes of English, and ar gued well therefrom for a firmer and clearer understanding between the two countries. It Is significant that one of Ger many s noted professors publishes strong argument. In favor of a Ger man-Hritish-Anicrican alliance, whll Herr Harth does the same. In the na tion, however, there is no doubt that the vat majority of the people an press continue hostile to Great Britain and disapprove of the Imperial visit. well known poet In the pan-German Deutsche Zeitung has written a poetic warning to the emperor, beginning Nach England, kaiser, gene nlcht. While scores of papers have vented meir antl-Hrltlsh feelings, signs are discernible that opinion begin to veer, Not only the. Cologne Gazette, which has been friendly to Great Britain from tha start, but even the influential Kreuz Zeitung, often the barometer of cold weather, and the leading center organ, the Cologne Volks Zeitung, have article this week condemning "the senseless, rabid Anglophobia," the Kreuz Zeitung saying: "Opinion in Germany does not strive against the re-establishment of better political and commercial relations with England. On the contrary, it favors both and be lieves there Is room enough on the globe for both nations, without either obscuring the sunlight of te other." The Cologne Volk Zeitung ridicules the "unreasonable pan-Germans," say ing they would have Jubilated If the emperor had gone to St. Petersburg In stead of England. SYMPATHY WITH BOERS. The comment on the South African war, generally, is tinctured with ill will for Great Britain. The Deutsche Zeitung assumes the success of the Boers and advises President Kruger to Insist as the terms of . peace on the cession of Dclagoa bay to the Trans vaal, which It adds, will "lead to a new and better German policy in South Africa." The Deutsche Tages Zeitung says "If the English press continues In its arrogancy to represent England aa the paramount power ami Germany as the vassal in South Africa, an Increase, if possible, of the dislike felt here, for our trans-channel cousins will bo the consequence." Details of the czar's visit to Potsdam are leaking out. The correspondent here of the Associated Press learns from a person who was present that the czar was cool and reserved at first This was due not only to his natural disposition and abhorrence of scenes and painful explanations, but also to the fact that for some time past sto ries have been circulated by go-be tweens at both courts, of biting re marks of the emperor to the effect that the czar waa a "pantoffel," and held to be averse to everything mili tary about his "spellerol Hague con ference, all of which was reported to the czar In distorted shapes. Owing to this the meeting was re peatedly put off and finally took place through the Influence of the-czarina However, the emperor's explanations were Irresistible, and the amiability which he knows so well how to display when It sules him, had the desired ef feet, so the czar departed In a friendly mood. He was not angry, nor aston ished at the Samoa agreement and a better understanding between Great Britain and Germany. NO USE FOR CHAMBERLAIN. Regarding the emperor's present feel Ings about the war, the Associated Press correspondent learns from the same authority that his natural sym pathies are altogether on the British side, but he clearly realizes that the complete wiping out of the Boers as an Independent political element In South Africa, would not subserve Ger man Interests. He also disapproves of what he term Mr. Chamberlain s in sincere and provocative policy." Although expected, the burial of the antl-strlke bill came more swiftly than anticipated by either the government or the reichstag. The collapse was due to the conviction of the centrists that their amendments would no' be accepted by the government. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns that there Is no Intention to introduce another antl-soclailst bill at present. Emperor William no longer attaches the highest Importance to an antl-strlke bill, and even the canal bill for a time has given way to the naval bill, the passage of wtlch engrosses his thoughts. In the meanwhile Count Posadowski Wehner. the minister of the Interior, and the Berliner Correspondence, the special organ of the government's In ternal policy, severely reprimanded tne majority of the relchstag, which, on the rejection of the bill, was made up of the entire left, center and socialists. HeVause of their lack of courtesy, the high officials threaten that, as every bill designed to restrain or repress so- ciallsts Is defeated, the government will have to find other means to ac complish this end, as u is ciaimeu to ue necessary to curt) tne growing inso lence of the socialists.

GLOOMY III ENGLAND. SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA CAUSES ANXIETY. No Sign of Success Shown For Be leagued Cities of Mafeklng and Ladysmlth. London, Nov. 28. The position in Natal remains full of perplexities, which the censorship his increased. Al though a division and a half have now reached Durban, that place Is prac tically powerless until supplied with cavalry and artillery -and until these arrive the situation will undoubtedly remain grave. With three beleaguered garrisons in Natal, besides Kimberley and Mafe klng, and no signs of succor in the immediate future, it Is no wonder that the outlook Is rega riled as distinctly gloomy, and that the most possible Is made out of General Methuen's success, such as It was. That battle decided nothing, and It seems certain that many experts are of the opinion that the Btory of the return of the pursuing cavalry without getting In touch with the retreating Boers, indicates that the cavalry discovered In time that If it had gone on it would have been In the Pretoria race course with Its comrades of the Hussars. It will not surprise any one If the Boers are shortly again discovered In an entrenched position near the spot from which General Methuen has Just evicted them. From no other point can even a sem blance of success be reported. Mafe klng la apparently In a worse plight than the Britishers have hitherto cared to admit, and It is difficult to see how It can be relieved for some time. While the official dispatches from the Boer head laager outside Ladysmlth, dated November 24, showed that the town was still flying the Union Jack Friday, the cheerful tone of the message and the evident anticipation of the speedy reduction of Ladysmlth is not calcu lated to cheer anxious relative. The reported silence of the British guns also again arouses fears of a shortness of ammunition, and the fact that the Boers have Just placed In po sition another siege gun, shows that they have not yet done their worst. The -arrival of the German officers, some of whom, it is learned, gained large experience In reducing fortifica tions in 1870, has caused a change or tactics which will add to the suspense of the sorely tired garrison. The situation In the northern portion of Cape Colony la about as unsatisfac tory as it can be. Boers are turning up In all directions. The Capetown dis patch received at a late hour indicates that the enemy have blown up a rail way bridge between Rosmead Junction and Mlddleburg, with the object of preventing an advance from Port Eliz abeth. This was effected by a small commando which, it Is slated, remains In the neighborhood. The effect of the blowing up of this bridge will be to tend to Isolate Naauwpoort, which was recently reoccupled by the British and must delay the advance of troops Just arrived at Port Elizabeth. AN OMINOUS CONSTRUCTION. New York, Nov. 28. A cable dispatch from Mool river tells of reconnolssance in force from Mool river camp and ends as follows: "The mounted in fantry Is still out." It will be remembered that the nrst intimation of the capture of the men f the Eighteenth Hussars, who are now at I'retorta, was found In an offi- ial dispatch reporting that "they had not returned." The loss of Carleton's column in Nicholson's Nek was first Indicated In a dispatch from General White In sim llur terms. MAY EXPECT BATTLE! SHORTLY. London, Nov. 26. A special dispatch from Durban Friday, Nov. 24, says: The Times of Natal has received news by way of Delagoa Bay that both Ma feklng and Kimberley have been re lieved. This Is not only Improbable, but Is discredited by a special dispatch from Capetown, which states that Gen eral Methuen Is In hellographlc com munication with Kimberley, which In dleates that the relieving forces pushed forward after the battle at Belmont. If this be true stirring news may be expected shortly, aa the Boers are In force at Modder river and spytfonteln, STRANGE QUIET PREVAILS. Pretoria, Nov. 25. An official dis patch from the Boer head laager out side Ladysmlth, dated November 24, says: 'The garrison at Ladysmlth was strangely quiet yesterday. The cannon ading today hardly evoked a response. The balloon no longer soars. The third big cannon, which the Boers have bap tized Suzerainty, was placed in posi tion today. The German officers ar rived last night. The Boer generals think they will encompass the fall of Ladysmlth at he end at this week. "There was a terrific thunderstorm ast night. Four Boers guarding a can non were seriously struck." MILES ON TUB BOER WAR. Atlanta, Ga,, Nov. 28. General Miles has arrived here from New Orleans on an official tour of Inspection. Since he beginning of his tour in the south and west General Miles has found the army posts In good condition and is pleased with his visit. When asked what he thought would be the probable result of the British and Boer war he did not hesitate to say that England would eventually win, but emphasized he fact that the victory would be bought with a great sacrifice of lives and property. "BrltlBh arms In the Transvaal will be carried to victory," he said, "but there will be many lives lost, much property swept away. If the Boers had a many soldier and as many source of supplies I would not undertake to say what would be the result. But while the British possess 11 these supplies and have an unlim ited amount of men, both at home and In the colonies, to draw on. It must be remembered that the war Is far re moved from the base of supplies. A and communication of 500 mile I al ways a great hardship and an uncer tainty." RECRUITING AT PHILADELPHIA. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 26. Recruit ing for the Boer army, It Is alleged, IE being conducted here under the di rection of an organization known a the Irish National society. It I as serted that last Thursday night 450 men left this city en route to the Transvaal to join the Boer force.

COIN "COIN" HARVEY'S NEW BOOK. Writers and orators, like soldiers, make it a practice to overshoot the people they are aiming at. It Is said that It takes as much as a ton of lead in bullets to disable one man. So it is In writing books. As an Illustration, a certain gentleman has one copy of "Coin's Financial School," and stack ed around this little book are thirty-odd other books which were published as attempted answers to the little schoolmaster's lecture. Tens of thou sands of newspapers, magazines, periodicals, secular and regillous, pub lished In all languages and In all countries known to mankind, have been wrestling from the day the book appeared until now with the simple truths so plainly explained by Mr. Harvey in his remarkable work, "Coin's Finan cial School." The American people will be rejoiced to know that this gifted writer, so powerful in stripping mystified propositions of their seeming mystery,- and restating them In manner and form that we all can comprehend, is now en gaged in writing a new book entitled "Coin on Money Trust and Imper ialism," which will be sold at 25 cents a copy. Much the same direct and simple school room style which gave to "Coin's Financial School" an unprecedented hold on the people, Is fol lowed In this new work. The young schoolmaster has grown sufficiently In the past few years, and since he lectured on the silver question, to exchange his knee breeches for long trousers, but that does not alter his style of teaching. Think of the hundreds of thousands of men, women and chil dren who will attend "Coin's School on Money Trust and Imperialism," and familiarize themselves with these great questions before the winter months are over. Coin Publishing Co., No. 5 Studio Building, corner State and Ohio street, Chicago, are the publishers of Mr. Harvey new book. The work will be sold exclusively by agents, who will agree to begin work at once and take subscriptions In their counties. Those who will give this matter their prompt attention are requested to send in twelve cents (six two-cent stamps) for prospectus, terms to agents and other valuable information, which will fit them out for Immediate business. Address air communica tions to Coin Publishing Co., No. 5, Studio Building, corner State and Ohio streets, Chicago, 111. "Coin on Money Trust and Tmperlalism" will be ready for delivery to subscribers about the 10th of next January, and the agents should put In the entire month of December taking subscriptions and send in their orders as rapidly as possible. ENJOY ROYAL SPORT. British In North Africa Kill a Khalifa and Many Emirs. Cairo, Nov. 28. -Lord Cromer, the British minister here, has received the following dispatch from General Kitch ener: Wingate's force caught up with the khalifa's force seven miles southeast of Gedid and attacked it. After a sharp fight he took the position. The khalifa, who was surrounded by a body guard of emirs, was killed and all the princi pal emirs were killed or captured, ex cept Osman Digna, who escaped. The dervishes were utterly defeated, their whole camp waa taken and thou sand 'of women, children and cattle also fell Into the hands of the Anglo Egyptian force. General Kitchener also wires: "Wingate's Arab scouts located the khalifa's position at Omdebrlkas. Our force marched from Gedil In the moon light and frequently had to cut Its way through the bush. It arrlvecf before dawn on rising ground overlooking the camp, which was hidden In the tree. We heard their drums and horns be fore dawn and at 5:15 the dervishes attacked. Our guns opened fire and soon the action became general. Half an hoar later the whole line advanced and swept through the dervish posi tion for over two miles till the camp was reached. "The mounted troops pursued and captured most of the fugitives. The khalifa, with most of his men, and the emir's body guard, made a gallant stand. Among the emirs killed were the khalifas two brothers and the Mahdl's son. Osman Digna left imme diately after the firing began and Is probably concealed somewhere In the vicinity. I hope, eventually, to get him. We too kthe entire dervish camp. All the dervishes not killed surrendered. 1 cannot speak too highly of the excel lent behavior of the troops and their endurance during the long, tedious marches' preceding the final acjtion. From 4 o'clock In the morning of No vember 21 until 5 o'clock In the morn ing of November 24 they marched sixty miles and fought two decisive actions. BOUTWELL SCORES M'KINLEY. Boston, Mass., Nov. 28. The New England Antl-Imperlallst league held Its annual meeting In Wesleyan hall Saturday night, at which the principal speech was made by ex-Governor Geo. 8. Boutwell. Wlnslow Warren presid ed. Ex-Governor Boutwell roundly scored the McKlnley administration for Its policy In the Philippines. The point In hi address, and it was punctuated with applause, which aroused much en thusiasm, was when he declared If President MoKlnley Is the candidate for the republican party he will be a surprised man on the day after elec- . i . , , 11 ..... n ...n In 1BJA' aik.n won, urn vnn eurrii w in ,.,,.. he thought he was elected, while he had received the votes of only five state.

HARVEY'S NEW WOMAN CROOK IN MALE ATTIRE Sex of Sentenced Forger Discover ed After Reaching Pen Chester, III., Nov. 28. Ellis Glenn until today believed by everybody in Southern Illinois and Missouri to be a man, turns out to be a woman. Glenn, who came from the east, was arrested and .pleaded guilty at Hlllsboro, 111., on a charge of forgery. It was alleged that he endeavored to obtain money on a forged note. He was sentenced to serve an Indefinite period on parole at the Southern 1111 nols penitentiary at Chester. This Is an Institution for male prisoners only, Today Glenn arrived at the prison in charge of Sheriff Cassldy. A few min utes after the pair arrived the prison walls shook with a sensation, Glenn was regularly turned over to Deputy Warden Dowell, who receipted for him. The prisoner was ordered, as is cus tomary in such cases, to have his hair clipped. This operation performed, he was assigned to the bath room to un dergo a good washing, as is also cus tomary before being allowed to com mingle with the cleanly birds In the Chester bast lie. The sex of the prisoner was discov ered before the Immersion. It was a surprise to the officials. Glenn was hustled into his clothes again without any delay and sent off to the hospital, where an examination by surgeons proved conclusively that the new ar rival was not a man, as had been sup posed, and as it had led everybody to believe, but a real live woman. As there is no ward for women at Chester, Glenn was placed In charge of Sheriff Cassldy and forwarded back to Hlllsboro. Deputy Dowell questioned her closely and the story she tells is that she Is from Ohio; that she has been In Texas. The offense she was sent to prison for was committed by a twin brother from whom she could not be distinguished when in men's attire; that she met him In Paducah, Ky., changing clothes with him, that he might escape; that she resembled him so strongly that she deceived acquaint ances and even deceived the girl that he was to marry. -The deputy regarded the whole yarn as a fish story and Is of the opinion that the sending out of her photo graphs will lead to the discovery of a dangerous crook wanted in more places than one. ENGAGED TO A WOMAN. Hlllsboro, III. Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky came the news today that Fills Glenn Is a woman, not a man. The most startling feature about the case Is that he or she was engaged to be married to Miss Ella Duke, of But ler, a pretty little town near Hlllsboro. When apprised of the startling devel opment In the case Mis Dukes refused to believe that her fiance wa of her own sex. For legache and the "growing pain" of which the children complain, wrap the leg In salt water and then In flan nel. . BOOR. HOBART LAID TO REST. Impressive Funeral Service Over Remains of Late Vic President. Paterson, N. J.,; Nov. 26. With the Impressive religious services of the Presbyterian church and with the dig nity due to his high office, all that is mortal of the vice president, aGrret A. Hobart, was committed to the earth this afternoon. The president, Secre tary of State John Hay, Chief Justice Fuller, former Vice President Levi P. Morton, former Secretary of War Al ger, Secretary of the Interior Hitch cock, the supreme judges, member of the senate, members of congress and the vice president's personal friends filled the beautiful Church of the Re deemer and with moistened eyes and bowed heads testified silently and elo quently to his worth as a stateman, friend and neighbor. Through the west window from th center of the stained glass Maltese cross pierced a shaft of crimson that shed its light around the catafalque and covered the orchids, narcissus blos soms and roses In bright tints. The eye of the clergyman traveled along the shaft of light to the cross as he repeated the words: "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken" away; -blessed be the name of the Lord." The chief magistrate , of ., the country bowed his head in his' hands. He was visibly agitated. There was scarcely a dry eye in the crowded edifice, and the widow was, apparently, the most com posed. ; All the pomp of an official pagehtr' which was omitted In deference to the wishes of the deceased, could never have equaled In lmpresslveness the scene In the church. The Imposing and solemn strains of Chopin's funeral march filled the edifice with Its solemn melody as the casket was borne up the aisle on the shoulders of the stalwart members of the capitol police and plac ed upon the bier prepared for It in front of the pulpit. Following It came the pall bearers, members of the sen ate. Following them came the family, the widow and h?r son, President Mc Klnley, the government dignitaries and intimate friends. They all- sat close around the casket. On every side of It the floral offer ings were banked in a wealth of beauty and color. The funeral services were opened by Rev. Dr. Charles S. Shaw, who read a portion of Psalms xc, 1-4 and 10-12. This was followed by a selection from Job xiv, 1-2 and 7-12, and concluded by a reading from th fifteenth chapter of Corinthians. After a prayer sixty male voices filled the church with the beautiful melody of "Nearer, My God, to Thee." PARIS LIKES ITS SCANDALS. Paris, Nov. 28. The performance at the vaudeville on Thursday of M. Abel Hermant's new play, "Le Faubourg, was pre-eminently an eventment Par islen. This young author has a reputation for writing comedies in which the char acters are drawn from life. His "Le Monte" led to a duel with the Prince de Sagan. His new play was said to be based upon actual and rather candalous Inci dents in the lives of the present social leaders of Paris, consequently they were all at the vaudeville on Thursday, and all disclosed remarkable acumen In picking out traits that fitted their friends. The whole play hinges upon the marriage of the Prince D'Entra gues with a young Hungarian, the au thor's Intention being to show the in evitable unhappihes of mixed marri ages. The prince and his wife drift further and further apart why, It is Impossible to find out he devoting himself to philanthropy and she to consoling her self with a volcanic flirtation,' that later develops into a passion for Eddy, Mr. Brother-in-law. her husband broth er, the Duke de Verneull. The play ends with the separation of the hus band an dwife who recognize their In compatibility of disposition, an ending that Is neither very logical nor satis factory. Is In fact, M. Hermant new comedy made an impression more by tt subtle air of lifelike acucracy than by any real dramatic strength. KENTUCKY IRON COMPANY, Knoxvllle, Tenn., Nov. 28.
