Ctoalaf la ea Pblllplaea.
Manila Nov. 13 Gen. Young is
supposed to have reached San Nich
olas about 30 miles east of Dagupan
but bis wagons are far behind. CoL
Hayes has captured Aguinaldo's sec-
retary and Major Coleman Is in Car
raglan with an escort of 175 bolomen
on the way to the province of Nueva
Visaya. The son of Gen. Llaneras
and his family are prisoners. The
general barely escaped. A corres
pondent of the Associated Press with
Gen. Young telegraphs from San
Jose that AguinaJdo did not escape
to the northeast. He and bis army
the correspondent! states are sur-
rounded. His last orders to the Fili-
pino commanders at San Jose were
to bold San Jose and Carraglan at
all costs. The recent encounters are
too one-sided to be called fights.
The insurgents are mortally afraid
of the Americans however strong
their position. They make but a brief
and feeble resistance and run when
the terrible American yell reaches
their cars whereupon the Americans
pursuo them and slay many. The
moral effect of the news that 60000
troops are on their way here has
been unqestionably great. The in-
surgents are suffering more from dis-
ease than the Americans are owing
to poor food lack of medicine and
the filthy hospitals with a result
thst there is great mortality among
them. Oen Lswton has intercepted
a telegram from an insurgent captain
to a Filipino general reading:
"How can you blame me for rv
trea'ing when only 12 of my compa-
ny here are able to flghl?"
OTIS' BEPOiff;
Washington Nov. 13 Thi war de-
partment baa received a dispatch
from Gen. Otis ai follows:
Manila Nov. 12 No news of TL.aw-
ton's advance was received yeater-
aa MwjArtbur's troops took Bam-
bon and Capas. tour miles north of
Bambon both on the railroad and
Conception to the east of the rail-
road yesterday. The insurgents are
reported to be 1500 strong and retir-
ing rapidly to the north and making
onlv slight resistance Our casual-
ties were Second Lieut. Davis of the
36th volunteers killed and three en-
listed men reported wounded. A
strong reconnoissance from Capas
was sent in the direction of Tarlac
today. The condition of the roads
and streams render a general advance
with the wagon trains impossible.
The enemy appear to be in a demor-
alized condition and show much dis-
organization as indicated by the
captured telegraphic dispatches and
deserters from their ranks.
If you are suffering from drowsi-
ness in the day time. Irritability of
temper sleepless nights general
debility headache and general want
of tone of the system use Herbine.
You will get relief and finally a cure.

Fatal Duel.
Tulsa I. T. Nov. 13 Postofflce
Inspector Houk returned from Weer
an inland town twenty miles south-
east of here brings news of a double
killing at that place last night. An
Indian boy came to town about dark
and Dr. Askew and Ed Scarver both
of whom were drinking sought to
frighten the boy by shooting at his
feet. One bullet took effect in the
lad's foot and the two men engaged
in a dispute as to who had hit the
boy. In the quarrel that ensued a
shooting test was proposed to de-
termine the matter. They drew their
pistols and commenced shooting
with the result that Dr. Askew was
shot through the body and Scarver
through the left arm and leg. When
their pistols were empty they resort-
ed to Winchesters and both men
were killed. A man named John
Fenton and an Indian named llan-
ley were also mixed up in the melee
and the Indian was slightly wounded.
Mr. Houk and another man went to
the scene of trouble to render as-
sistance but were assaulted by Fen-
ton and notified to "hide out" which
they did taking refuge in a cotton
! 2eld.
A bottle of Prickly Ash Bitters kept

Saved an Old Man's Life.
Havana Nov. 12. An attempt has
been made in Pinar del Rio to lynch
an old man named Arteaga a former
Spanish guerilla who under the
Spanish regime bad charge of the
prison in Pinar del Rio. Arteaga
went to Spain after the war but re-
cently returned to aee his son. When
it became known that he was in town
a mob formed and went to the botel
where he was staying. The mayor
addressed the mob and Lieut. Met-
calf of the Havana police who was
also present confronted the crowd
and took charge of the man they
sought to lynch. The mob retired
before the determined attitude as-
sumed by List. Metcalf who took
Arteaga to Havana by the next train.
The people of Pinar del Rio declare
that Lieut. Metcalf saved the old
WAR SITUATION UNCHANGED.
Three British StraeihaMe . Malatata

London Nov. 13. The simultane-
ous attacks on Ladysmith Maf eking
and Kimberley which were opened
Thursday manifest a full recogni
tion by the Boers of the fact that
every dayv lessens their chances of a
successful onslaught on any of the
three British strongholds. General
Jouberl'a chances of reaching Pieter-
maritzbnrg can be said to have van-
ished. This is already reported to
bo admitted by Colonel Schiel the
German officer commanding the
Boer artillery who is supposed to
have been largely the author of the
Boer plan of campaign and who in
an interview is alleged to have said :
"The Boer intention was to have
captured Pietermarittburg and then
to dictate terms. But all hope of ac-
complishing this must now be aban-
doned." There is no doubt that from the
Britieh point of view the general
situation in Natal is rapidly improv-
ing. Nearly 8.00 troops reached
South Africa during the last forty-
eight hours and by the end of the
week from 6000 to 7 000 moro wi'l be
aclJed to the British strength in
Natal. These will probably be
pushed forward to Estcourt bring-
ing the British farce there up to 10-
000 and making a general attack on
Ladysmith by General Joubert very
hazardous.
BOERS DRAFTING.

of General Jan II. M. Kock who
was wounded and aken prisoner by
the British and afterwards died in

ARDMORE
Peed las Their Dea.
Twice a year. In the first week of
April and October the Chinese feed
their dead. They think very sensibly.
that once their friends and .relatives
leave tbla mortal coll they ought to
stay away from this world and to pre
vent their return they faithfully trans-
mit to them all tho necessaries of life.
It has been discovered by oriental wis-
dom that tbe way to transmit serv-
ants songs plays books and money is
to manufacture them In paper and
burn them. But actual eatables must
be carried to the grave.
Tbe Chinese are not stingy and wag
on loads of roasted chickens pigs
ducks various sweetmeats and fruits
are taken to tbe cemeteries. The food
is piled before each grave amid burn-
ing red carrot shaped candles and Joss
sticks. Then tbe living prostrate them
selves before the dead and beg them
to rise up and enjoy themselves. Chi-
nese wines are then sprinkled liberally
over the graves while some graves re-
ceive boxes of cigars and packages of
cigarettes.
But you must not suppose that the
eatables are left on the graves. Oh.
no! That would be throwing too much
temptation In the way of heathen
tramps. In about two hours It is be
lieved that tbe ghosts got tbe essence
of the eatables conveyed to them and
then tbe devoteea gather up tbe offer-
ings and carry them home again to
feed to their own material bodies. But
tbe cigars and cigarettes are burned
on the grave.

A man with a grip entered a down
