A Manila, November 13 telegram
stales: General Young Is supposed to
havo reached Han Nicholas, about thir
ty miles cast of Dagupan, hut his wag
ons arc far behind. Colonel Hayes has
captured Aguinaldo'H secretary and
Major Coleman In In Carrnnglan with
an' escort of 170 bolo men, on his way
to tho province of Nueva, Vlsaya. The
win of General Lanerns and his family
arc prisoners. The general barely es
caped. The correspondent of tho Associated
press with General Young telegraphs
from Han Jose that Agulualdo did not
escape to the northeast. He nnd his
army, the correspondent ndds, arc sur
rounded. His last orders to the Filipi
no commander at Kan Jo.so urn; to
hold Han Jose and Carrnnglan at all
costs.
The recent encounters wore too one
sided to be called fights. The. Insur
gents arc mortally afraid of the Ameri
cans, however strong their position. -They
make but n brief and feeble re
sistance and run when the terrible
American yell r-iahos their cars,
whereupon tho Americans pursue them
nnd slay many.
Tho moral effect of the news thnt
00,000 troops are on their way hero has
been unquestionably great.
Tho insurgents nre suffering more
from disease than the Amorleans,owlng
to poor food, lack of medicine, and
filthy hospitals, with tho result that
there is great mortality among them.
A dispatch has been received from
General Otis confirmation of Monday's
news that Tnrlac had fallen ami that
Agulualdo had lied northward.
In conclusion he states: "Detach
ments scut north to San Nicholas, nnd
It is btilieved that Young has estab
lished communication with Whcaton's
troops last evening. Indications arc
that insurgents will not cscapo to
mountain capital ut Payonbong with
out great dlfliculty and loss, if at all."
A British naval oflleor, who has just
returned to London from tho Philip
pines, has been interviewed regarding
the situation there, of which ho takes
a somewhat pessimistic view. Ho
thinks that more river gunboats nre
needed, and that General Otis is trying
to run thu enmpaign too economically.
Ho pays a high tribute to tho "sur

"I have a very high regard for Gen

this without an effort first to show the
natives that tho United States wished
to givo them a fair, just and libera',
government would havo forever pre
vented amicable relations, and it would
havo become a question of extermina

The president ut ono tirao seriously
considered the advisability of naming
for this place, General Wood, who, in

hasdono so much toward restoring
that city to something like European
clcnnllucss, but General Ludlow, who
has succeeded in antagonizing so many
Cubans nnd Spaniards in Havana and
his arbitrary ways and brutal disre

comes in contact, lias been making his
strong political play for the post him
self since his arrival there some dnys

ington Wednesday, and announced
that he would win out as against Wood,
but those who are on pretty close
terms with the president declare that
his desire to appoint Secretary Mclkle
john is more than surface deep, and
that because of tho knowledgo the
assistant secretary has of Cuban af
fairs, combined with his diplomatic
amiability, he is moro than likely to
be selected for the post, provided he
will accept it upon Ids return to Wash

HAY WARD VERY iL
Condition of Nebraska Senator
Fails to Improve.
IS OUTGROWTH Of HIS OLD ATTACK
A Comultntlon of Physicians Found Ad.
vlauble I'ronouncod n Very Mck
Man, Hut HI Case Not He carded
Honelei Alarming Itcnort.
A Nebraska City dispatch says the
coudltlon of Senator M. L. Haywnrd
whoso Illness dates back a number of
days, cannot be regarded as anything
less than serious. Senator Hnywnrd's
ailment first supposed to be but a slight
indisposition, has not yielded to treat
ment, nnd Tuesday a specialist of Oma
ha was summoned to consult with
local physicians. Dr. Bridges was
asked for an opinion ns to his patient's
condition, nnd replied that he was a
very sick man, but that he did not con
sider ills caso hopeless.
At tho Hayward home the members
of tho senator's family protest against
alarm reports being sent out, andnio
hopeful of early recovery. While his
present illness Is not nn exnet recur
rence of the stroke of apoplexy which
he suffered nt Hrownville last summer,
It is believed to be nn outgrowth of
thnt attack.
Kcpprts from the bedside shortly be
fore midnight Tuesday said the sena
tor was conscious, apparently resting,
and that his condition for the time be
ing need not bo regarded as extremely
critical.
Condition l'rccarlnus. '
Late Tuesday evening word was re
ceived at Omaha from Nebraska City
which indicates that Senator Hayward
is in a most precarious condition, and
that his death is to bo expected at any
time. A consultation of physicians
was held and at its close it was given
out that that the physicians could hold
out no hope whatever of the senator's
permanent recovery, and very little, if
nny, of even a temporary improvement
in his condition.
There is no regular session of the
legislature this winter, nnd in cimj ot
his death the governor will appoint a
successor. It is universally conceded
that in this event Governor Poynter
would name ex-Senator Allen.
THE STATE LAW DEFECTIVE
JudRO Scott STnkcs nn Intcrc.itliiK State
ment About UurRlarlci.
"No, sir, there is no law in Nebraska
making the breaking into n saloon or
a bank n burglary. It is n singular
thing, but it is so. I don't know why
tho statute was left so defective. I
supposo it was a mere oversight. A
man may brenk into a saloon or a ban!;,
but be convicted only for petit or grand
larceny."
This was tho holding of Judge Scott
nt Omaha Tuesday when n habeas cor
pus application was before him. It
was no new announcement, for the
judge had set tho precedent last Feb
ruary nt Papillon.
And It was a Sarpy county case be
fore him in Oranha. Attorney II. ',.
Wedgewood came up from Pa
pillion to say to the court that William
E. Hcaly was in jail unlawfully de
prived of his liberty, and asking that a
writ issue to Sheriff Startzer of Sarpy
county commanding hhn to produce the
prisoner in court. The writ was issued.
Healcy had been arrested for bur
glarizing the raloon of Frank Krctch
mark at Fort Crook, October 1. He
was bound over for burglary by County
Judge Howard of Sarpy. The writ
was asked mainly for tho reason indi
cated, that the prisoner was held fur
what under the 'State law Is not an
offense.
In speaking about the matter further
Judge Scott said that tho buildings
mentioned in tho statute defining bur
glury did not include cither banks or
saloons. Stores are mention, but tho
judge holds that u saloon is not a store,
slneo tho liquor business is under po
lice regulation and is therefore lu u
class distinctly to itself.
