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
Burrendered 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. 2G, 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 Btill en
deavoring to maintain the insurrection
in the island of Luzon.
On the 21st Inst. Admiral Watson
cabled the navy department that Com
mander Very had captured the city of
Zamboanga on the 10th. He was aided
by the friendly natives and Moros anil
was holding the town pending the ar
rival of reinforcements from Jolo. On
the same day General Otis informed
the war department that he had or
dered two companies of infantry to be
sent to Zamboanga from Jolo.
Zamboanga is the principal province
of the island of Mindaona, which is
the second largest of the Philippine isl
ands. Advices 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 StateB.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—The war
department has not Lien advised of
the surrender of the province, as re
ported in Admiral Watson'a dispatch.
Secretary Root saying tonight ho bad
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 Bi Rl AVI D HOME.
Great Crowd Gather* About House and
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 the 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. The 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 plate until the tomb of the family
is erected.

DITCH WITH TUT BOERS.
Situation in C ape Colony Sahl to Be Crit
ical In ttie Extreme.
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, November 6,
complains bitterly of censorship, and
declares that the British bad 10,000
horses, miles of transport wagons, with
$5,000,000 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 dls

LITTLE CHANGE IN HAYWARD.
I'atli-nt Pimm » Itpallma Nlglit and Con
illi Inn Improvca.
NEBRASKA CITY.. Neb., Nov. 27.—
Senator Hayward had unother b;id
night, and when morning dawned
his condition wan 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 3
o’clock this morning Dr. Whitten is
sued the following bulletin:
"Senator Hayward passed a restless
night. At this hour his temperature is
99 5-8; 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.”

Russian newspapers announce that the
British charge d'affairs lias Informed
the Russian government that Great
Britain has been in a state of war with
the Dutch republics in South Africa
since August 12.
rI ne Svet, commenting upon this
says: "England, in giving this notifi
cation, withdraws fier declaration that
she is not carrying on war, but is
merely subjugating rebels."
The Navoe Vremya, which attributes
far-reaching importance to the British
notification, says: "The powers are
now in a position to send not only Red
Crons agents, but military agents a3
well, and they may judge this a fitting
time to intervene, especially as the
Afrikanders are going more and more
to the Boer side.”

MANILA, Nov. 24.—Severe fighting
In the north of Iloilo began Tuesday
November 21. Four Americans were
killed and twenty-five wounded, in
cluding three officers. The insurgents
ore retreating to Santa Barbara, but
the fighting continues.
Colonel Carpenter, November 18, ad
tanced to Santa Barbara, straight
north from Jaro, taking trench after
trench, the enemy fighting and retreat
ing.
General Hughes' column has been
steadily advancing north to gain a po
sition west of Santa Barbara.
It encountered the enemy In small
detachments. Six to ten Americans
were wounded in this column. Colonel
Carpenter started during the night of
November 20, and opened with Battery
G of the Sixth artillery at daybreak,
November 21, on the trenches. The
enemy volleyed as the artillery took up
a position, wounding four.
Two companies of the Twenty-sixth
regiment garrisoning Jaro, moved
through Caraz, attacking the enemy on
the right flank Just north of Jaro at
daybreak, November 21, driving them
toward Colonel Carpenter. The coun
try between Jaro and Santa Barbara
is thickly entrenched, especially near
Pavia. The Sixth artillery fired on the
trenches and the Eighteenth regiment
charged, the enemy retreating to the
next trench. The Eighteenth again
charged, encountering and attacking a
force of bolomen who were hidden in
the long grass and who severely
wounded several Americans.
During the afternoon of November
21 the fighting was severe immediate
ly south of Pavia, three miles north
of Jaro.
The column returned to Jaro after
the flank movement, having captured
three six-round smoothbore cannons
and a quantity of arms and ammuni
tion.
The enemy’s loss was not obtainable,
but seven men were found dead in one
trench. The insurgents are falling
back on Santa Barbara, which it is ex
pected General Hughes has attacked
before thiB.
A Spanish corporal, captured by the
Filipinos, has arrived here from Tar
lac. He says he saw Aguinaldo, ac
companied by a prominent leader and
fifteen men, arrive at Bayambong
during the night of November 13, hat
less, his clothes torn and spattered
with mud and his horse exhausted.
Aguinaldo, it appears, rested a short
time, seemed anxious, consulted with
his companions and the villagers as to
the nature of the roads, secured fresh
horses and proceeded immediately to
ward Mangalaren in Pangasinan prov
ince, west of Bambang.
The corporal tells a straight story,
giving minute details. He is convinced
he Is not mistaken, having seen Aguin
aldo several times during recent
months.
Aguinaldo, It appears, would have
time to leave Bayambong November
13 and pass through General Wheaton's
lines November 17.

MANILA, Nov. 24.—The insurgents

Montalban and San Mateo, where it is
expected they will make resistance to
the American advance. The Spaniards

A reconnaissance to the northwest
of San Mateo on Tuesday developed
the fact that the rebels were moving
stores and men to Montalban. The
number of insurgents Is unknown.

FILIPINOS GIVING UP.
I’realilcnt of ARtiliiiildo'a Congran Sur
r«»ndf*ra to NacArthur at Tarlac.
MANILA, Nov. Z5.—Senor Buenca
mino, a former member of the socalled
cabinet of Aguinaldo. has been brought
to General Otis a prisoner on board
the transport Brutus. He had sought
refuge in a village near San Fabian,
with Aguinaido’s mother and son. The
natives disclosed his identity to Major
Cronin, who captured him.
General Young Is still in the rnoun
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.
He was one of the influential Filipi
nos 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 po.iitlon and says the
Filipino congress and cabinet are scat
tered. never to reassemble.
Home of the members, he adds, have
returned to their homes, while others
are Hying for safety. Many of the
congressmen have resigned and ho 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 wnr depart
ment today in which he says that the
insurgent government can no longer
claim to exist, its troopH and officers
are scattered and Aguinaldo in hiding.
The dispatch follows:
“MANILA, Nov. 24.—Claim to gov
ernment by insurgents can ho made
uo longer under any friction; Its treas
urer, secretary of the interior and pres
dent of congress in our hands; its pres
ident and remaining cabinet officers
in hiding evidently in different parts
of central Luzon provinces; its gen
erals und troops in small bands scat
tered through these provinces acting
ns banditti or dispersed, playing the
iole of "amigos’ with arms concealed.
Indications are that Aguinaldo did not
escape through the lines of Lawton
or Wheaton, but fled westward from
Bayambong railway station. Tele
graphic communication to Dagupan es
tablished, probably to San Fabian to
day; by relaying nine mlle.i of track
with material at hand railway commu
nication to that point re-established;
labor of troops must attend mainten
ance.”
