PaiEes Aringay on the Coast Between San Fabian and San Fernando. MAKING FOR MOUNTAIN REGION. Americans Have a Little Dra<h With Filipino Hear t.naril—Rebels Hetriat With Lnknuwn Loss—Insurgents Now Ulveu No Hosting Spells. MANILA, Nov. 23.—General Younfi reports that Agulnaldo, with a party of 200, Including some women and a few t arts, 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 Agulnaldo probably Intended to strike Inland through the Blnqua mountains toward Bayambong, In the province of Nueva Viseaya. General Young, with cavalry and Macabebes, Is pursuing tnc Filipino leader, part of the Abericau force tak ing the direction of San Fernando, III a fight with Agulnaldo’s rear guard at Aringay one Maccabebe was wounded and the Insurgents retreated. Tlietr 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 Agul 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 lexults not yet received.” The dispatch from General Otis .loes r.ot yet make it appear that the ef forts to capture Aguinalda and the larger portion of his army will be successful. The intention of General Young to prevent Agulnaldo reaching Uayonbong seems evident, but this seems scarcely probable now. Some errors have been made in the trans mission of the dispatch. Uayonbong is evidently meant instead of jvayain 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 lias been for some time beyond telegraphic com munication. DEWEY WILL ALWAYS OWN IT.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Garret A. Hobart, vice president of the United States, died at his home in Paterson, N. J„ at 8:30 o’clock thiB morning. At his bedside were Mrs. Hobart and his son, Garret A. Hobart, Jr., to gether with Dr. William Newton and bis wife and Private Secretary Evans. Mr. Hobart’s death had been ex pected for some hours. The beginning of the end came yesterday afternoon, when there was a sudden failure of thu heart, and from this attack Mr. Ho bart never rallied. He had been sick for a long time and had suffered fre quently from heart failure and his strength had been undermined. Grad ually the failure of the heart's action became more apparent and soon after midnight last night Mr. Hobart be came unconscious. He remained in that condition until his death. Mr. Hobart's death was due directly to angina pectoris complicating myo carditis. Owing to the prostration of Mrs. Hobart the funeral arrangements will not be completed until tomorrow. The only step decided upon is that the services shall be held in the Chi'jch of the Redeemer at Paterson and the Interment in the family plot at Cedar Lawn, where the only daughter of Mr. ami Mrs. Hobart was buried six years ago. Rev. Dr. Magee will preach the sermon. The church can accommodate not more than 800 persons, and as thous ands will be eager to attend the ser vices, it wa3 suggested that they be held in the armory, which will accom modate 10,000 persons. It Is known, however, that Mrs. Hobart wishes the funeral to be as quiet as possible, and there is little likelihood that the pro gram will be changed. The mayor and aldermen of Paterson have suggested that the body lay in state at the city hall Friday and Saturday, and this will probably be carried out. The pallbearers have been selected, but their names will be withheld un til they have been notified and have accepted. Nearly all representatives of nations in this country have sent messages to Mrs. Hobart. One of the first to send a message was President McKinley. Attorney General Griggs, who was in Washington, telegraphed that he would return to Paterson at the earli est moment and he is expected to take charge of all the deialls of the funeral. Others sending messages were Sir Julian Pauncefot, Count de Glicter veldt, envoy extraordinary and minis ter plenipotentiary to Belgium; the ttusslan ambassador, Vice President Stevenson, Admiral Schley, Governor Voorhees of New Jersey, Senator Sew all, Senator Hanna, John Russell Al ger. Senator Foraker. Senator Fair banks, General Castillo, civil givernor of Santiago, and Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejonn. WASHINGTON IS IN MOURNING. rrrnitli nt Deeply Affected mid Mr*. Mc Kinley (llvea Way to Tear*. WASHINGTON, Nov, 22.—All the flags in Washington are halfmasted out of respect to the memory of Vice President Hobart. The announcement of the vice president's death, while not unexpected, came as a distinct shock and cast a gloom over the city where he was loved and honored. The news was first received at the White house ten minutes before nine o’clock in a private message from Paterson. The flag over the executive mansion was immediately hauled down to half mast and the doors of the mansion closed to the public. The president was deeply affected by the telegram announcing his colleague’s death, and at once dispatched a telegram con veying the sympathy and consolation of himself and Mrs. McKinley to Mrs. Hobart. Meantime the news had been bulletined by all newspaper offices and the whole city was soon mourning the loss of the vice pres president. lloer Coiniiitt imIhiiI Killed. DURBAN, Natal, Monday.

TECL'MSEH, Neb., Nov. 23.—A throng of people assembled here to participate In the formal reception and sword presentation to Lieutenant Ar thur G. Kavanagh. The escort from the home of his parents to the court yard consisted of the Teecumseh Mili tary band, the reception committee, Company I, Second regiment, Nebras ka National Guards, Grand Army, fra ternities and citizens. Mayor George Warren delivered an address of welcome and made presen tation of the sword. “The people of this nation,” he said, "were proud of the outcome of the great maritime con flict of Manila bay and the people of Johnson county were particularly proud to know that during this great conflict, at the side of Commodore Dewey, on the bridge of the Olympia, carrying out every order and display ing such personal bravery as is known only to an American sailor or soldier, stood a brave Nebraska boy.” Lieut. Kavanagh responded to the mayor's address. He thanked the peo ple for the magnificent sword and the hearty welcome extended to him on his home coming. "My title for dis tinction for service at Manila," he con tinued, “If I have any, rests on the fact that I was there. In the batttle of May 1, I did what I could and If that little meets with your approval. I am rewarded. Since I left you ten years ago to enter the small family of the navy I have seen but little of you, yet I have always believed that you took a sincere Interest in my career, and of this I have been convinced each time I returned on leave. For the people here at home I can never feel other than the most sincere regard and af fection. As you know, I was appoint ed to Annapolis from the First district by Congressman Connell, and though my duty is to the whole nation, I have always tried to remember that I was acting in a representative capacity, so to speak, and that you are entitled to a severe examination of my conduct.” Lieut. Kavanagh is 28 years old, be ing a native of Johnson county. He I received an appointment to the United j States naval academy at Annapolis in May, 1890, through the efforts of Congressman W. J. Connell, and grad uated from the four years' course of that institution in 1894. With the ob jeect of instruction in view he was then sent on a two-years’ cruise on the Cincinnati. Returning to his studies at Annapolis, he graduateu from the completed course at the head of his class. I’nlon I’uclflc Official*. OMAHA. Nov. 23.—Horace G.

THE GOVERNOR EXPLAINS. What lit Said and Meant In III* Thanks giving Proclamation. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 25.—Governor Poynter has been subjected to some criticism concerning the wording of his Thanksgiving proclamation, and re cently the following request from the New York World asking for an ex planation was received at the executive oFleo: Hon. W. A. Poynter, Governor of Ne braska, Lincoln: In your Thanksgiv ing proclamation you are quoted as us ing these words, "Lest we forget and lust of power causes us to forget tne exalted mission of the republic and government of the people, for the peo ple and by the people perish from us.” Will you oblige the World by wiring In 300 words your views on the Phil ippines; whether this has direct refer ence thereto. THE WOULD. Governor Poynter replied as follows: New York World, New York City: Replying to your inquiry, would ouy your telegram quotes me incorrectly. My Thanksgiving proclamation says, "Acknowledging with grateful heuits His guiding hand in our growth to our present greatness, let us seek His aid lest wo become proud, and a lust of power cause us to forget the exalted mission of the republic and a 'govern ment of the people, by the people and for the people’ perish from the earth." I was led to embody this thought from the tendency manifested in ex pressions and writings of many able men in the nation who advocate the doctrine of a colonial policy and a large standing army, either of which is contrary to the fundamental idea of our republic. The expressed determ ination to subjugate the people of tne Philippines and treat with them after ward seems to me the policy of an em pire rather than of a republic. A government which “derives its Just powers from the consent of the governed" cannot hold a people ir. sub jection by force. I believe in the God of Nations. I believe in His overrul ing providenece in the establishment of our government founded upon tne doctrine of equal rights. We may continue to ask His guidance as a na tion so long as we aunere to the prin ciples for the establishment of which He gave our fathers His aid. Forsak ing these sacred principles, people's government will perish from the earth. W. A. POYNTER, Governor. BANK’S ASSETS WILL BE SOLD. Supreme Court Aiaurr* the (irrman Hav ing* That It I* Insolvent. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 25.—In ibe case of the state of Nebraska against the German Savings bank of Omaha, the supreme court holds that the order appointing a receiver for the defendant constituted an adjudication that the corporation was insolvent and no ap peal having been taken therefrom, ’he order was forever afterwards conclu sive upon that question. This cause, or some phase of it, has been three times before the supreme court and as many opinions have been written. The sole question the court wds asked to determine was whether the district court had jurisdiction to mdke an order for the sale of the remain ing assets of the bank. It was argued by the counsel for the bank that no such power existed until there had been entered a decree in the cause ad judging the insolvency of the corpo ration and ordering the affairs to be w'ound up. The opinion closes with the following: “In the case at hand the order ap pointing McCague as receiver of the German Savings bank determined that the corporation was insolvent, and tne question is no longer an open one. The proper time for the bank to have made that defense was before the receiver was appointed. It cannot do so now. The question of insolvency having been adjudicated the court was not without jurisdiction to order the real estate sold. There is nothing in ine two previous decisions heretofore cited which is inconsistent with the views herein expressed. The order is af firmed.” The 8hootlnK Not Justified. LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. 25.—Governor Poynter has decided to investigate tne shooting of Deserter Morgen in Sarpy county by two soldiers from Fort Crook. Morgan and another man at tempted to escape from the fort and Corporal Faire and Private Jocktus were detailed to pursue them. Gover nor Poynter brought the matter to the attention of the attorney general tins afternoon and that official will look up the law in the ease. Speaking of the shooting of Morgan Governor Poynter this afternoon said: "I am of the opinion that no man is Justified in shooting another, except In Instances where martial law bus been declared. Nebraska Is not iiuuer martial law and therefore those two soldiers were not Justified In shooting. I do not know that they were ordered to shoot the deserter, hut If they were, the superior officer who Issued tit* command is Just as guilty as they are. lie has no right to issue such au or der."

They adopted the unus ual tactics of advancing under cover of their to positions on the ridges and kopjes adjacent to those occupied by the British troops early In the Invest ment. "Continuing their advence the Boers crept up. using every available bit of cover. Our Infantry opened with a steady, warm and accurate Are, which boat back the enemy, notwithstanding the display of tenacity of purpose equal to their desperate stands on previous occasions. The Boer attack was most elaborate on all sides of the town. “The main attack was made, How ever, between the Free State and New castle railway lines \y a column chief ly of Johannesburg volunteers. A bri gade of King’s Royal Rifles corps made a splendid defense. The Boers wero repulsed, but soon rallied and return ed to the fight. Again the British fire, which was very hot, forced them to re tire. They bad made a deep trench lu front of (he British lines and while withdrawing from their horses they left this unguarded, whereupon the King’s Rifles, advancing at double quick, occupied the trench. “This smart movement waa not seen by the enemy, who soon returned with their horses. Carefully reserving their fire the King’s Rifles allowed the Boers to advanco almost to the edge of the trench and then poured volley after volley Into the astounded Boers, who turned and fled from an awful hall of bullets, bolting across the open, where the artillery of the British pour ed In a terrible and effective shell tire.
