VIGAN , Luzon , via Manila , June 3.
Major March , with his detachment
of the Thirty-third regiment , over
took what Is believed to have been
Agulnaldo's party on May 19 at La
Gat , about 100 miles northeast of VI-
Kan. The Americans killed or wound
ed an olllccr , supposed to bo Agul-
naldo , whose body was removed by
his followers. Aguinaldo had 100
men , Major March 125.
The American commander reached
Laboagan , whither Aguinaldo had
made his headquarters since March G ,
on May 7. Aguinaldo had fled seven
hours before , leaving all the beaten
trails and traveling through the for
est , along the beds of streams. To
ward evening , May 19 , Major March
struck Agulnaldo's outpost about a
mile outside of La Gat , killing four
Filipinos and capturing two. From
the latter he learned that AgulnaWo
had camped there for the night , al
though cxhausto'l and half starved.
Major March's men enteicd La Gat
on the run. They saw the Insurgents
scattering into the bushes or over the
plateau. A thousand yards beyond
the town , on the mountain side , the
figures of twenty-five Filipinos , dress
ed In white , with their leader on a
gray horse , were silhouetted against
the sunset. The Americans fired a vol
ley and saw the olllcer drop from his
horse. Ills followers fled , carrying
the body.
The Americans , on reaching the
spot , caught the horse , which was
richly saddled. Blood from a badly
wounded man was on the animal and
on the ground. The saddle bags con
tained Agulnaldo's diary and some
private papers , including proclama
tions. One of these was addressed :
"To the Civilized Nations. " It pro
tested against the American occupa
tion of the Philippines. There worn
also found copies of Senator Bever-
idgc'H speech , translated Into Sprfnish ,
and entitled "Tho Deathknoll of the
Filipino People. "
Major March , believing that the Fil
ipinos had taken to n river which is
a tributary to the Chlco , followed It
for two days , i caching Tiao , where he
learned that a party of Filipinos had
descended the river May 20 on a raft ,
with the body of a dead or wounded
man upon a litter , covered with palm
leaves. .
There Major March reviewed hla
command , shoeless and exhausted , and
picked out twenty-four of the fresh
est men , with whom he beat the sur
rounding country for six days longer ,
but without finding any trace of the
insurgents. The Americans pushed
on and arrived at Aparri May 29.
The officer shot was either Agnl-
naldo or his adjutant , and as the horse
was richly caparisoned it is a fair
presumption that It was Aguinaldo.

The correspondents with Lord Rob

turned , after tra\fllnfT through the
moat pcvcrcly cm It tun portion1) of the
Bombay presidency. Including Gujer-
rat and Baro'da. ' lie makes the fol
lowing statement regarding his obser
vations :
"Uverywherc I met the most'shock
ing and i evoking scenes. The famine
camps have boon swept by cholera and
Kinullpox. Fugitives , scattering in all
directions and stricken In light , were
found dying In the fit-Ids and roadsldo
ditches. The numbers at one relief
station were Iwroahlng at the rate of
10.000 per day.
"At Godhera there were 3,000
deaths from cholera within four days ,
and at Dohad 2,500 In the sumo period.
The hospital death rate at Godhera
and Dohad was 90 per cent. The con
dition of the stricken simply beggars
description. Air and water were im
pregnated with nn Intolerable stench
of corpse ? . At Ahmedabad the death
rate in the poor house was 10 per
cent. Every day I saw now patients
placed face to face with corpses. In
every fourth cot there was a corpse.
"The thermometer- 115 in the
shade. Millions of flics hovered
around the uncleaned dysentery pa
tients. I visited the smallpox and
choleni wards at Vlragam. All the
patients were lying on the ground ,
there being no cots. Otherwise their
condition was fair.
"I can fully verify the reports that
the vultures , dogs and jackals are de
vouring the dead. Dogs have been
Eecn running about with children's
limbs in their jaws.
"The government Is doing Its best ,
but the native onlclals are hopelessly
and heartlessly Inefficient. Between
the famine , the plague and the chol
era the condition of Bombay presi
dency Is now worse than It has been
at any previous period in the nine
teenth century. Whole families have
been blotted out. The spirit of the
people has been broken and there may
be something still worse to co mo
when the monsoon breaks. "

LONDON , June 2. Lord Roberta
continues silent regarding Pretoria.
Lourcnzo Maiquez , wheie all the
news from the Boer side is rehandled ,
fables that corniumlcatlon with Pre
toria Is now suspended.
Some messages by courier have
/cached Lourenzo Marqucz , but none
of Ii tor date than Wednesday. These
assert that the burghers are In a state
of panic and that Pretoria is bin&
controlled by a vigilance committee.
Lourcnzo Manjuez again scnus the
report that President Kniger has been
ciipturcd.
The news blank gives rise to a sus
picion that a citizens' committee a ;
Pretoria may not have been able to
carry out its plans for securing the
peaceful entry of Lord Roberts and
sparing the city the horrois of a siege.
A piece party appeared to be In the
ascendant nnd as soon as President
Kruger and his cabinet left Pretoria to
organize a new capital the citizens'
committee persuaded the commandants
of the forts to withdraw some of the
troops from therdofcnses , perhaps with
the view of keeping order In the town.
If messengers were sent to the Brit
ish or the British , being two hours'
march from Pretoria on Wednesday ,
entered it at any time prior to Friday
noon , Lord Roberts would certainly
have telegraphed this fact. Hence It
looks as though there was a Boer force
between Pretoria and Johannesburg.
These soldiers , trekking back toward
Pretoria , some of them fresh from the
fight with General Hamilton , would
have brought a new element into the
situation and probably have overruled
the peace committee , taking the direc
tion of affairs out of their hands. If
this has happened the British.may , as
the tfally Chronicle says , see some
"hard fighting" beiore the British flag
flics over Pretoria , for If the Boers
Held only three forts standing close
together on the hills south of the town
they would be In a position to stand a
siege.
The Boers , according to a special dis
patch from Lourenao Marquez , have
re-entered the northeastern territory
of the Free State and are engaged with
the British near Ventersburg and Har-
rismlth.
It Is reported from Amsterdam that
the best rooms at one of the principal
hotels there have been engaged for
President Kruger's occupancy from
June 25.
The Times has the following from
Lourenzo Marquez , dated June 1 :
"Reports of the most conflicting
character are current here , due to the
activity of the Boer agents. While one
section declares that President Kruger
has returned to Pretoria for the pur
pose of arranging terms of surrender ,
another asserts that the British have
been repulsed outside of Pretoria.
Nothing autnentic is known here re-
Kardlng Mr. Kruger's whereabouts or
the situation In the Transvaal. "
